Those conversant with the soil structure of that section of the country long have contended its agricultural possibilities limited and now it seems their beliefs are founded.

Now it appears that much of| that land has lost its agricu 1 usefulness. Ye: after year the farmers have seen their efforts blown away by the winds. i The picture is sim to one geologists have discovered in the hara desert and the Gobi in Asia. There ex ¥ have revealed that in times past those sections were agricultural lands but the constant stirring of the soil made it subject to the winds with the result that today no soil remains, only a bleak barrenness where little life can survive It is not too late for this country to profit by the experience of history. Would it not be sound { business as many advocates to abamdon farming in much of our “great American desert” and let it revert back to range?

If one found ‘ likely ground it was but a question of pa- tience and hard work to extract the yellow metal from the reluctant sands. Today it is different except in especial cases. The wave of gold-seekers swept over Al- aska from the south to N They pouréd in by boat from the Pacific and they came down._ the mighty Yukon from British Co- lumbia. “Pay dirt’ being found, the gold pans, the rockers and sluice boxes were put to work and the prospector either cleaned up or failed. The successful, once the sur- face had’' been worked and gold in ap- preciable quantities garnered, moved on to more promising fields. It was a day when pluck and brawn ruled the gold coast of Alaska. Today ‘€gpital is required to work most of the gold fields. While new fields might yield to 6ld-time operation, in the main this is too slow and arduous to suit present-day miners. Machinery now does the work of hundreds.of men, and machinery costs money, especially when it must be trans- ported into almost inaccessible regions. The regions near Nome and in the sev- | eral valleys of Alaska had been virtually worked out, but today they are bringing wealth to a number of enterprising com- panies. Giant dredges are today doing the work that once kept thousands of men busy, and it has been found that these dredges have made it possible to treat gravel run- ning as low as 15 cents per yard, One of these great machines will excavate and treat from 5,000 to 6,000 yards of gravel in a day, more than could have been handled by hun- dreds of men in the days of hand placer mining. There is not a section of Alaska where gold has been found in the sands that may ! not be cperated by these huge mechnical ( aids to mining. In some instances the huge machines have been carried to the scene of operations by airplane, the several parts | being separated to admit of conveyance, { and assembled again at the point of opera- tion. The high price of gold makes even low grade stuff profitable, and that means that present-day man, with the aid of in- ventive science, is able to garner wealth from the leavings of the miners of a more | romantic, but less comfortable age. Europe and the League, (Kansas City Star.) The new “palace” of the League of Nations Is mpietion just outside of Geneva, at & to many persons the whole system of cllective based on the Tre: of Versailles, may seem about to collapse. It is t that the League has suffered a serious loss of pr through the recent withdrawal of two of principal members, Japan and Germany, while only in the last few weeks the peace settlement that followed the World War has been further weakened by Germany's repudiation of the armament clauses of the peace treaty. At the same time the situation o far as the League is concerned, is not without its elements of hope. The resignations of Japan and Germany, for example, have bcen partly offset by the admission of Soviet Russia. The mishandling of the Man- least has had the merit cf churian episode at shcwing the Ledgue what it cannot yet do, i. e, affairs outside of ti it intervene effectively in political while the virtues of the League stem were demonstrated in the way it dealt {with such delicate European problems as the Saar ax\d the dispute between Jugo-Slavia and Hungary. r, there is now at least some hope that Ger- its national pride assuaged by a modifica- ticn of the Versailles treaty, may yet return to the League. And, finally, it becomes increasingly evi- jdent that if Europe is to save itself from anothe war, entailing an incalculable disaster, it will have to maintain some form of co-operation such as the League was designed to provide.
