Awed Explorers Gaze for
Three Days at Phenomena

Washington f. Grfggs, pro-
fessor Of botany at George Washing
ton university, the first white man to
set foot in the Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes, Alaska, spoke on his initial
trip into the valley at meeting in the
Cosmos club.
Motion pictures of the many phe-
nomena in the valley were exhibited,
and Doctor Griggs told of the many
experiments made by his party. He
said that when the valley was first
viewed 1t was three days before any
of the party could do more than gaze
in wonder.
No living creature or any indication
of plant life was found in the area
covered by volcanic ash thrown off by
Mt. Katmai. but on the edges of the
valley. trees grow in abundance. the
explorer said.
The intense heat has no effect on
the perpetual snow banks that abound
on the fringes of the valley. he said.

Professor Compares Hoe to
Latest Implements.

New York.-The importance Of dm-
proved farm implements to successful
agriculture is discussed by e. II. Gross,
professor of rural engineering, In an
article prepared for an agricultural
publication of New Jersey. The ar
ticle refers to the days prior to the
coming of farm machinery, which were
the days Of the hoe. spade, cradle and
fail. Mr.. Gross mentions the many
different kinds of farming machinery.
and then he writes:
THE man with the hoe could be
hired for So a month; later he received
$40 month, but as machinery came
into use labor became pore skilled
and wages increased. To produce a
bushel Of wheat by hand required
three hours and three minutes. but
with machinery 1t can be done in less
than ten minutes. Besides this, the
qualify of grain has been improved by
the use of machinery; for the seed
may be planted in proper season, thus
giving the full-length growing period.
In early days much grain was harvest
ed green, resulting In shriveled grain
Of poor quality.
'"The cutting and curing of ton Of
hay used to take IL hours of man la
Dor; now 1t requires about an hour
and half.
Machinery has Increased also the
production per capita in this country.
In 1850, 5.43 bushels of wheat per cap
ita were produced. In 1900, produc-
ton had reached 8.66 bushels per
capita.
Workers Released to Cities.
while machinery was saving time
and Increasing production per capita 1t
was also releasing people from the
farms to work in the cities. In 1900
probably 81 per cent of the population
Of the country was on farms; by 1900
this was reduced to 35 per cent. and
now some estimate that only 10 per
cent are actually engaged in the pro-
duction Of food, though there may be
q slightly higher per cent living on
farms. All this indicates the tremen-
dous influence farm machinery has
had upon civilization. Probably not
over million Indians lived on the
North American continent, yet at
times they were in want Of food. Now
the United States alone supports a
population Of 100000 and is
food-exporting nation"

fers to students an opportunity to
study farm machinery in practical
way which is explained by Professor
Gross in this fashion:
