GOLD OF THE INCAS FOUND.
Bolivia May Become Centre of the
World's Supply.
If, Bgove-.tLnent reports may be ac-
cepted a3 truthful; all the gold that
has men taken out of the fields of
California and the Klondike of Alas-
ka will be insignificant compared with
the product of the fields of Bolivia in
South America within the next few
years, The source of the wealth of
the ancient Incas hes' been found in
its unexplored interior. More gold is
left there than was mined by the old
civilized tribe of Indians and which n
cnabled them to offer to Pizarro s a
ransom -for the Incan King gold to fill
a room 22 by 27 feet. The same field
were the source of the metal that en-
abled the Indian tribe. to furnish the
Temple of the Sun,which Pizarro's
followers reported was "literally coy
ered with plates of gold."
The report is made by Alexander.
1 Benson, the American secretary of the
legation at Bolivia. He says' that Bo-
livia may become the centre of_the
world's gold supply through the devel-
opmevtt of these fields by modern ma-
chinery. Here and there a shrewd
Peruvian has plowed one and been
rewarded with r.phes. The reason
why these fields have not been devel-
oped has been the immense difficulty
in reaching the fields and in trans-
porting any of the products from
them: Transportation is difficult in
the extreme and the cost enormous.
Rough mule trails are the only means
of entering this region and the trans-
portation of, heavy machinery now is
well nigh impossible until passable
roads are built. The building of these
roads and the other preparations
necessary before the gold can be taken
out and marketed affords a great op-
portunity for American capital and
enterprise.

Two ane-tenthacre plots have been
cropped under differing systems of
cultivation over a period of sixteen
years. One plot was cropped to a
five-year rotation system of cern
first year, grain second, grass third
and fourth, and grain fifth year.
The other plot was devoted to wheat
each year, the land being plowed
early in the fall, carefully disked
ano prepared for seed. The rotated
riot is now substantially free from
weeds. The wheat plot is infested
with wild oats, though the Station
hes practised careful Hand -pulling
of weeds over the several years of
experimentation. The two years
that the rotation plot grew grass,
the hay has been cut so early that
weeds had no chance of maturing
seed. When the plot was in corn,
thorough stirring of the ground was
practised, and weeds were killed
before they ripened. -Farmer's Ad-
