THE KEYSTONE OF THE ARCH

Semi-troric California has many self
proclaimed competitors in the matter
of climate and the products of the soil
dependent on climate. In fruit growing
we often hear of Oregon and Washing
ton as likely to dispute the supremacy
of Southern California. But the Alki
and the Webfoot states will hardly rob
us of our crown of winter roses or of
our chaplets of January pea blossoms,
with such seasons as they have expert
enced this year The Enterprise, pub
lshed at Garfield, Wash. says:
THE professor Of agriculture at the col
lege at Pullman has made an examination
of the fruit buds from various parts of the
county and says positively that the cherry
and pear buds are killed and also most of
the prunes and plums. Apples are pro-
nounced safe so far DR.. ]. A. Dix. who
returned from weeks stay in Walla Walla
few days ago. says that cherries are be-
lieved to be killed in that section, and espe-
cially where the orchards were irrigated
late in the fall, not only the buds but parts
of the trees are killed. Some large prune
stroyed. The damage was done by the
severe cold in November"
1t is not grateful occupation to re-
joice in the misfortunes of others, nor is
it in such spirit that The Herald pub
fishes an item like the above. But it is
matter of great Importance that the
world at large be we'll informed on these
subjects And besides, in the spirit of
the old Norwegian churches, which SOL
emnly sent to the Throne of Grace the
petition that if there were to be ship
wrecks they might occur on the coasts
