The quality of plant products is known to vary with the quantity of available moisture.

It is admitted that cer- tain experiments along these lines have been conducted in laboratories where attempts were made artificially to pro- duce arid conditions. but they have done little more than to demonstrate the futility of attempting to reproduce the ccinplex conditions of outdoor life in the laboratory.
 The investigations suggested would involve the work of botanists, patholo- gists, chemists, bacteriologists and others, and. in the opinion of the ad- visory board. a desert laboratory would furnish opportunities which would promptly be taken advantage of by numerous scientists to the perma- nent betterment of the human race.

A D...rt Laboratory.

Arizona may receive some direct benefits from the great institution for scientific research which Andrew Carnegie has founded at the national capital with an endowment of ten mil lions of dollars. A Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune states that the institution has received a novel suggestion from Professor F. V. Cor file, chairman of its advisory board on botany, who proposes. in view of the extensive investigations in applied botany now being carried on by the department of agriculture and the state experiment stations, that a desert lab oratory be established. It is pointed out that no effective research in this line has been possible, nor has the pro- been advocated by their scientists. If the Carnegie institution will devote a portion of its income to the establish ment and maintainance oi a botanical laboratory in some section of the arid region which covers so extensive an area in the southwest,it will, it is urged, make possible a series of investigations which not only will add immeasuarbly to the practical knowledge of botanists and agriculturists, but which are es- sential to the rounding out Of many scientific theories now partially ob- scure.
 It cannot be doubted that this terri periments proposed. Among the ques- tions which a desert laboratory would

Now, for a few days, it's statehood; i; although sagacious democrats already see that it was a huge mistake to raise that issue. We see nothing for Wilson to do but fall back upon "tariff re- form.''
