Ice age” as if it belonged to the re
mote geological past. Geologists have
reached the'conclusion that ,there were
several ice ages. Whqt is more, the
last Ice Age. known as the quaternary,
is only about half over, despite our
blistering summers. “Eternal ice” or
“eternal snow” are figments of the po
etic imagination. Very slowly the
great ice sheets in the Arctic and Ant
arctic regions are melting and pour
ing their torrents into the oceans. The
earth must inevitably change its as
pect and Its climate.
How the change is slowly taking
place and what the result will be has
been considered by such aide geolo
gists, physicists pnd meteorlogists as
Prof. Sir Edgeworth [>a\id of the
University of Sydney, Australia, Prof.
Wilhelm Meinardus of Gottingen and
a score of others. The latest is Dr.
William J. Humphreys of the United
States weather bureau, who recently
addressed the American Meteorologi
cal society on the subject, summariz
ing old views and modifying them in
the light of the information gathered
in the Antarctic regions by the Byrd
expedition and in Greenland by the ill-
fated Prof. Alfred Wegener and his
companions.
Glacial Sheets Reduced by Half.
The glacial sheets that now cover
the North and South poles were once
12,000,000 square miles in extent—
more than one-fifth the present total
land area of the globe. In the course
of about 700.000 years they have melt
ed down to their present area of
about 000.000 square miles. The ice
on Greenland alone is ten times vast
er than the area of the State of New
York. Wegeners echo soundings
showed that it Is over O.OOOTeel thick
near the qenter fTf the island and
about 14.000 feet thick near the edges
of the howl over whjch it spill*. Here,
then, we have enough ice to proV’M^
h layer of water on* mile thick over
Too.oini of Greenland’s 827.275 square
miles of surface. To this we Uiust add
aiioihJr layer of mile-deep water which
would Ik* spread over 3.200.000 square
miles of Antarctic}!'* 5.4O0.UI0 square
miles.
The earth is steadily growing warm
er. As all the ice at the two poles
melts a stui>endous volume of water
will tie released. Professor David con
servatively estimates that the sea lev
el will rise 50 feet. Professor Mein
ardus double*- that estimate. Doctor
Humphreys, ulth the studies of Byrd
and Wegener tiefore him. believes thjit
the rise will lie 151 feet. Such flood*
are nothing new. as we see by the
marine fossilft found on Die tops of
the Rockies, Andes and other moun- j
tain ranges.
The Dtluge of the Future.
So, within 30.H00 or 40.0UU year* |
there will tie another deluge. Salt wa
ter will sweep over the continentaF
leaving only the higher land dry
Holland will be iuyindated. Kish will
swim in Buckingham palace and West
minster ahtiey. for most of England
will lie beneath the w’aves. The Des
ert of Sahara will he a great Inland j
sea. What is now New York will be
marked by the up|ier stories and tow
ers of Die taller skyscruiiers as they
Jut out of the water.
In an inundation which would thus
chance geography and which would
be accompanied by a rise In tempera
ture. the climate would return to what
fl was when dinosaur* roamed the
earth and dense Jungle* of dank, gi
gantic ferns grew in what are now
Pennsylvania and Canada. Palms and
alligators xvoulri flourish at the poles
as they did millions of years ago.
What will become of man if climat
ic conditions are thus changed? Ice
sheets In high latitudes produce strong
contrasts in temperatures between the
polar and equatorial regions. Winds,
storms, weather that changes from
day to day are the result. Man flour
ishes under such conditions. K, the
torrid zone were to become even mb^e
torrid than it is, and if what are no
frozen tracts around the North and
South poles are to bear sub-tropical
life, man’s food supply will not be
what it is now. ,•
Prof. G. S. Simpson of the British
meteorological office has advanced the
theory that Chellean. Mousterian and
other races of meji that once flour
ished in southern Europe were wiped
out because the climate changed and
that inedible • vermin took the place
of the animals that were hunted. No
one can tell what may happen If a
new carboniferous era should follow
the warming of the earth. Man Is
about as old as the present Ice age. It
Is a question If he will survive it.

stay ahead of the weevil
T HAT is the whole story this year. Either
you get ahead of the weevil or he wilt get
ahead of you. Fields are full of weevils this year,
according to reports. If they find squares, there vtf
won’t be much cotton at picking time.
Cotton squares are the weevils’ favorite food!
Therefore don’t give them any squares to eat in
your field. Set your crop before they are ready.
A side-dressing of 100 pounds per acre (200 pounds
would be much better) of Chilean Nitrate will
do k. There is nothing like Chilean to pick up •
crop of cotton and hurry it right past the weeviL
What else can you do tb»t. is so easy, so cheap;
•o safe and so sure ?
Side-dress—100 pounds Chilean Nitrate per
acre—right'after chopping.
See your dealer now and impress on him you
want Chilean “Natural” Nitrate. He is anxious ’
to get you just what you want.
