THE DESERT OF WHEAT, by Zane
Grey. Harper & Brothers Publish
ers. Book by courtesy of D. A. Cal
lahan. HTHIS is an epic of wheat and the
world war. It tells of a struggle in
the great northwest between the grow
eis of wheat and the I. W. W. cap
tained by German agents posing as
labor leaders. Back of it all we see
the Hohenzollern dynasty and its am
bitions, but In the foreground are loyal
Americans, farmers, ranchers, cow
boys battling with the motley crowds
of treacherous despoilers and destroy
ers. The action deals rather with what
might have been than what was. We
know from revelations at the I. W. W.
trials what those vicious disloyalists
planned. In this romance of the fight
to save the wheat of the northwest
and thereby save the world, the author
has visualized a combat which might
have happened had not the government
so promptly smashed the I. W. W. by
seizing its leaders everywhere in the
land. In reality, however, all of these
things happened not in one particular
corner of the northwest, but at vari
ous points in the country. The author
has here massed the events in one
swift and bitter struggle.
Kurt Dorn, son of an aged German
whose heart is with the kaiser and
the fatherland, is the hero. The father
becomes involved with the I. W. W.,
but gradually his eyes are opened. In
the excitement and exertion of the
fight to preserve his wheat, which the
I. W. W. will not spare, the old man,
expires. His last words are a prayer
for his son's forgivenness.
The wheat is harvested and taken
to the elevator, but is burned by a
gang of I. W. W. working under the
command of Glidden, a man of mys
tery. There is an enthralling contest
to save the village from flames and
to rout the I. W. W.
It is an odd feature of the fight,
which is long and thrilling, that no
one is killed. This is in the good, old
manner of the refined novelist who
hated to spill blood. Perhaps that
was due to our paciflstic tendencies.
In this connection, however, it is fan
tastic and unreal because, a little later,
the hero goes to Fiance, where slaugh
ter is wholesale.
Some of the most interesting chap
ters treat of the Klu Klux Klan opera
tions of the vigilantes who band to
gether to expel the invading I. W. W.
The climax is the capture of Glidden,
in disguise as he is engaged in wreck
ing the largest wheat harvesting out
fit in the region. The vigilantes meet,
vote his death and he is hanged to a
railro'ad bridge. The I. W. W. are
rounded up, placed aboard several
trains, and are deported by way of the
rails that run under this bridge. The
ghastly corpse affrights them as they
are banished from the land they tried
to destroy.
The love passages of the novel are
weak and sickly sweet despite the at
tempt to make them lofty and appeal
ing. The love story is dragged in, ac
cording to the accepted canons of the
popular novelist. He chooses his sub
ject and then insinuates his love pup
pets Into as many scenes as he thinks
proper.
The hero is brought back from
France insane and with one arm gone.
The heroine insists on a wedding af
ter all hope has been given up by the
doctors. The wandering mind Is re
stored and the hero mends slowly.
In the final chapters the novel takes
on a mystico-idealistic tone, the
heroine voicing those altruistic ideals
by which our generation hopes to lift
humanity to higher levels, and finally
to abolish war.
It is a novel of unequal merit. Some
of the chapters, especially those in the
first half of the book, are red-blooded
and virile. There is all the action that
the most strenuous could desire. The
chapters which take us to France and
through the fighting there with the
hero are not so convincing, but this
probably is due to the fact that we
have been sated with descriptions of
battles and soldiering.
SUGAR BEETS in AMERICA. By
Dr. F. S. Harris. The Macmlllan
Company, New York.
THIS work Is written by a Utah
man, Dr. F. S. Harris, Director
and Agronomist of the Utah Agricul
tural Experiment Station, he book
is one of Macmillan's Rural ScienoJ
Series, edited by Dr. L. H. Bailey, for
merly of Cornell University.
Dr. Harris Is probably one of tho
best informed men on the question of
sugar-beets, from an agricultural
standpoint, in the country. He is a
graduate of Cornell University and
for several years has been conduct
ing extensive experiments on various
sugar-beet problems; among the most
important is his work on the irriga
tion of sugar beets, sugar beet breel
ing, and the commercial production o"
sugar beet seed. Besides his ow.i
work he has visited every important
beet producing section of the United
States and has made a study of their
methods and problems. Dr. Harris Is
nlso a trained agronomist In other
lines. Since he has been at the Ex
periment Station ho has completed
experiments on fertilizing and rota
tions, soil moisture, alkali and the ir
rigation of oats, wheat, and potatoes,
which have proved to be of great
benefit to the farmers of Utah. 'From
this vast fund of information "Sugar
Beets in America" was prepared.
The book is written in a very prac
tical way, being intended primarily
for farmers and agriculturists, as in
dicated by such subjects as soils,
fertilizing and rotations, preparation
of seed bed and planting, pests and
diseases, and cost of producing beets.
Students of the subject, however, will
find it none the less interesting since
it contains a very complete bibli
