Washington. April 1.-William N.
Bunker, representing the SaD Francis.
co Chamber Of Commerce. yesterday
made an interesting talk on American
trade in the Orient before the House
| Committee on Irrigation of Arid Lands.
His statements thoroughly ana compile
/ ly demonstrated the ability Of tho
| Orient TO absorb all Of the surplus
| products o! the Western State, no mat
ter to how great an extent those States
might be developed by irrigation.
Having studied the Orient and
crossed the Russian Empire from
NladivostoK to Cronstadt over the
/ Trans-Siberian route, he was thor
oughly equipped with facts and figures
bearing ON Oriental trade affairs. He
told the committee that the'e is no
foundation tor the fear that Eastern
Siberia will compete in the Oriental
market with the wheat and lumber

California grows Justify and il Of COOL

Siberia yields the inferior siberian
wheat. The Siberian -four ig mixed

In answer to question nv Chairman
Tongue. Mr.. Bunker said that ne popu.
lar idea OF the forests nj Sil.,,a was
wrong. These forests are q. large "a

curing through the reclamation Of arid

Is no reason why, in the natural course
OF events. the food stuff ma;ke, of the
Orient should not finally mare TO tho
advantage Of that belt of country in
the west, which now sees competition
in the reclamation and cultivation OF
the arid lands along the Pacific Coast.
The greater the Oriental market for
Pacific Coast products, the smaller the
volume OF those uroducts shippcd 10

States.
Because wild flowers and Crassrs
grow lush in the short and hot 81
berian summer IL is enormously sup
posed that the soil Is adapted TO the
culture OF wheat. The ordinary ira.
Weller always makes this mistake. The
very low temperature and light fail
OF snow IN winter and the torrcntial
rains Of spring or summer contribute
to the failure OF wheat growing.
