Then the oats are spread in the pans

to produce sprouts one-fourth to one

care being taken to prevent too much

hopeful that next years harvest will
rival the bumper crop of 1881.
Agricultural observers said late rains
have put the soil in excellent condition
in the Winter wheat regions of Kan

and Texas.
THE new wheat crop faces the best
season in three years, with planting
conditions more nearly normal than
those of the past two years." said j. c.
Mohler, secretary of the Kansas Board
of Agriculture.
Many counties now have a good
supply Of subsoil moisture, something
that has been lacking recently. Re
cent SHOWS will benefit the crop by
adding moisture that will not run off u
The bright picture was in contrast
with darker one painted recently by
E. j. Smiley, secretary of the Kansas
Grain Dealers Association. He
warned the country would be threat
ened with wheat famine If the wheat
belt is struck by another damaging
drought.

Washington scientists who work with

crops grown in this revolutionary fash
ion are corn, barley, wheat, oats, pota-
toes and cotton.
If all this sounds fantastic and even
absurd, then take note of the numerous
novel experiments in the new science Of
controlled agriculture" that have been
conducted quietly and without ballyhoo
within the past few months in four
widely separated countries of the
England, Denmark
and the United States.
Crops Within Few Weeks.
Controlled agriculture requires the
use of no land at all, the tests proved
conclusively, and yet the way is paved
for fresh crops every few weeks all the
year round Seeds or plants simply
are placed in chemically treated water
in metal trays of ovenlike cabinets.
No artificial heating is required in
most instances, since the plants supply
sufficient warmth for their own needs.
Nor is cellar farming" arduous. A
short time each day is required to sup
ply water to the trays in which have
been placed few ounces of chemical
food, there being a different kind of
chemical food for each kind of crop.
Spectacular tests recently completed
in England were made on a large
farm. Crops of barley and maize were
grown and harvested every 10 days.
The originator of "soil-less farming
is the famous German scientist, DIR,

NEW YORK TO GET
ANOTHER TUNNEL
Extension of 9Th Avenue
Subway Will Cost
S57,OOO,OO0.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 28.-Al-
ready pitted with more holes than a
Swiss cheese, water-bound Manhattan
is going to have another subway
if anybody can find room for it,.
Subway building on this tight little
island is a fine art of not humping
into an area where somebody got
there first Some subways have more
kinks than a roller coaster. The new
bore. known as the Sixth avenue ex-
tension Of the city-owned independent
system, must snake through solid rock
to cross over the Greensboro subway
at Forty-first street, under the shut
tie subway at Forty-second, over the
Long Island Railroad tubes at Thirty
third and under the Brooklyn Man.
haitian Transit subway at Thirty
fourth.
The only thing the engineers will
not have to avoid a collision with is
the Catskill water tunnel, 220 feet
below the surface. Subways seldom
run below 60 feet.
Tunnels Lost or MiSlaid.
Manhattin has SO many miles Of
Subterranean tunnels that occasionally
one of them gets lost or mislaid. The
citizenry virtually had forgotten about
tunnel between Thirty fourth and
Forty-second street, built by some
body for something century ago.
until it came to light in a court
suit the other day.
Then there is the story of some men
who started digging into the ground
over in Weehawken, N. j., last Fall
and were forgotten about-at least,
by the general public-until months
later, when they bobbed up on this
side Of the Hudson River looking like
they had spent a rainy night in a
shell hole.
That was the new midtown tunnel
from New Jersey, the nineteenth rail
and vehicular tunnel linking Man.
haitian with New Jersey, Long Island
and Westchester County under the
Hudson. East and Harlem Rivers.
Now talk has been started for an
other tunnel. between Manhattan and
Queens, under the East River, for au-
tomobiles.
Commuters Took Ferries.
New Workers and the nearby COM
muting population have not always
taken tunnel riding so casually. Some
25 years ago, when the Long Island
Railroad tubes were showed under the
East River, not a few commuters
stubbornly continued riding the ferry
boats because they thought it was
safer.
For those statistically minded. the
new subway extension will cost $57,-
100000, for "a miles. The Independ-
ent Subway System, one of three serv-
ing New York City, alone carries
665,000 passenger daily, and most of
them are straphangers at the rush
hours. All rail carriers in the city
subway, elevated and surface cars
last year carried two billion and a
half passengers, at S cents a ride.
