carrying it out would be the duty OF the
Agricultural Department at Washington.
1t would probably be discovered that ex-
IRENE difficulty would be met in finjing
among grains cultivated in watered regions
a variation which could be recognized as
having tendency toward suitability to
arid conditions, and that the proper
method of procedure would be either to
produce such variations by successive cul-
tlvations with steadily Diminishing sup
ply OF water, or to search for hitherto I'M
discovered food plants which have
naturally arid environment.
A radical modification of the idea might
be made practical in California in various
ways. For instance, by reason Of the mild
ness OF our winters and the practically uni
Versal habit of plants to bloom and fruit
In the summer, plants which we have in
troduced from sub-tropical regions, includ-
ing the Gala "a very tender plant), bring
with them their habit of blooming in what
happens to be our non-blooming season,
the winter. Giving this idea more prac-
teal application, it is conceivable that we
might bring hither from sub-equatorlal
regions fowls suitable for domestic pur-
poses, which will bring their habit OF lay
ing eggs at time when eggs are very
scarce and expensive with US. This could
possibly be extended to many kinds OF
vegetables and fruits, our somewhat
limited experience in this direction hav-
ing shown us that it is perfectly feasible.
This is work in which the State might be
able to accomplish much good, as Califor-
mia is the only section of the country in
which this can be done and would have a
monopoly of the benefits which would re-
suit from it.

irrigation will more than double, and in
some cases quadruple, the value of the land
by increasing its earning capacity in that
ratio an investment in irrigation facilities
will Jay an enormous percentage in profit.
A great part of this increase of value is
added by the Valley road, which will re-
