THE PEAR.

1lO II OlU 10 liAS@hAO ONN everywhere. It ranks very high among the pomonii, either un- cooked or in the many ways of preparation by cooking, or as liquors or juices. The common apple, with it's variety of i'm
 provements, and the pear are of common ancestry, but the differ entiation has fixed the types so that there is little reversiOn to their ancient ancestors, unless grossly neglected; some varie- ties of pears are much more ati- vistic than others. One or more varieties of domestic pears have degenerated to bitter, woody, puckerish balls, which cooking will not subdue. The United States and France have given much attention to the cultivation and improvement of pears by grating and budding, both stand ards and dwarfS-the latter on the quince stock. JudiciOus inter breeding has eliminated the tannic and fibrine character and produced the juicy, aromatic fruit that delight both taste and smell. Pear cider and pear but ter are most delicious, and canned pears many good house keepers would feel the absence of seriously, they are so inviting as a change from other good tea sauces; and everybody takes a piece of pear pie for dinner.
 The Seckel variety was origin ated in the United States. So we'll established are they that buyers in some parts of the country do not speak of them as pears, but; "Give me some 'Seckels'" is quite sufficient. Of course, the Bartlett is most excellent pear. It is of European origin, and is known there as Bon Cretian. Beaurre Aujon is also great pear, of French origin. The va rieties are so great that they can not all be mentioned here, but there are two other kinds which appear to have some features that cannot be overlooked: these are the Le Compte and Keiffer- sometimes called Chinese sand pear-and seem, so far, to be immune from pear tree blight, which renders them of great eco- homie value; for once a pear tree gets this bacterial disease, all of the tree should be obliter- ated, nothing but ashes remain ing.
 The Keiffer, to which may be added the Garber peal, are choice for preserving and can ming, and the Le Compte is a fair table pear-perhaps not so good as the Seckel or Bartlett for ex- quisite taste, but it has the ad- vantage in being ready for awaiting market earlier than other varieties and bears rough CT handling, and if caught with frost has been known to re- bloom and come on the same season as a good second with a paying crop. Undoubtedly some of the French Catholic missionaries planted the first pear trees in Canada and the territory south of lakes Michigan and Erie as early as the seventeenth centu- ry. Some monks carried from Europe bundle or pear sprouts and set them out in fanciful or der on the east bank of the De- troit river, just below Sandwich, Canada. Twelve of the trees were in row by themselves and

Two School Districts

IL looks HOW as though in April the Imperial school district would be cut into two, with a prospect of an ad- ditional district being created the next year. At the present time the district is thirty-iive miles in greatest width and eighty four miles in great est length. From Imperial il is twenty miles to the northern line, twenty y-five miles to the western line, thirteen miles to the southern line and sixty miles to the southeast corner. So far as territory is concerned there is room for two districts and three might be created without over crowd ing. The population of the present district is about 1000, but it is in- creasing very rapidly. The greatest drawback is the lack of taxable pro- perty, the land not being subject to taxation until it is proved up. The is the principal subject of taxation at present. With the two it is probable that schools will be maintained near Calexico, us at present, and in Imperial.

VARIETIES 70 PLANT

Editor wickson of the Pacific Rural Press in his last issue answered two correspondents. who wrote regarding this country, as follows
 gro the Editor. T should like your advice as to what varieties of table grapes would be best adapted to the Colorado desert. Twant Co grow about 4O acres of the best early varieties and desire advice as Co what kind and what proportion of each to plant.-Colonist San Diego county.
 "The experience of grape growers at Palm Springs, which is on the edge of the Colorado desert. is that the grapes most successful there are the Sweet. water, or Chas-clas Fontaineblcau, the Chassclas Rose and Thompson Seedlcss for very carly white grapes. The Malaga IS successful as later white grape. The Rose of Peru and Black Hamburg are good as dark col ored varieties, ripcning later. The Muscat does not seem to be we'll adapted to the conditions. The pro- portion of these to be planted is pretty difficult to determine. It seems to us, however, that we would plant at least three quarters of the acres of the two Chasselas varieties and the Thompson Seedless. with say five acres of black varieties aud five acres of Malaga. This you know is merely a matter of opinion and subject to error. The large acreage of early white grapes is based upon d good shipping demand for table grapes in advance of the same varieties grown elsewhere and this seems to be reasonable to expect. Thompson Seedless is also good wine grape and good raisin grape, while the Malaga is also fair for raisins. These are safety propositions as an alternative in case shipping does not develop a anticipated.
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-01-04

ITO the Editorials a subscriber to your valuable pa per l wish to be in- formed whether rye grass is good grass for fatteniug stock and which is the best kind for such purposes, as understaud that there are several kinds of rye grasses. propose to try 1t in the Imperial country of the Colo rado desert.-R. D. Perry, San Diego county.
 There are two species of rye grass in common use, Lolium perenne and L4olium Italicum. The former is the English, or as commonly called in this State, the Australian rye grass. This Is the hardier species; most drouth re- sistant and longer lived in the root. This is the one which has been most widely used and approved in this State, though recently the Italian species has come into use and is so far approved on low moist lands. Just what it will endure Is not fully known. Neither of these grasses need be ex- pected to do at all on the desert coun- try except with irrigation, and how far they will stand the high heat and dry air even when irrigated is still to be determined. 50 far as irrigation or overflow go they are durable, and make great growth even with sewage irrigation if the temperature condi- tions suit them. They are both grasses of rather coarse character and medium richness. They cannot compare with alfalfa in feeding value, but they are good winter growers and in this way are available while alfalfa is dormant. To find their local value in the ImPe- rial region experiments must be made wisely on small scale"
