The South Dakota State Hort
cultural Society was organized
and incorporated under the laws
of the state January 9, 1890.
The history of the society is
marked by vicissitudes owing
to the lack of state aid so freely
given by the older states to
their societies. The mission of
this organization is TO gather
together the experience of all
who cultivate trees, fruits, veg
etables, shrubs and flowers and
to disseminate this information
throughout the state. The
annual meetings Of the associa-
ton are productive of much
good to the places in which they
are held but the lack of fluids
has hitherto prevented the pub
LEGATION of the papers and dis
cussions in permanent form.
Provision for this was made by
the last legislature SO that one
thousand copies of the report
will be published IN book form
each year. The next meeting
of the society will be held at
Madison, S. d., January 10, 20
and 81, 1904. The report will
be published as soon thereafter
as possible. All interested in
the horticultural development
of the state should attend this
meeting. 1t is the earnest
desire OF this society that this
will mark a large increase in
the membership. The largest
horticultural society in the
Uuited States is that of Mime
sofa with over 400 members.
The South Dakota Society will
be satisfied TO start with one
thousand members the first
year. This will take every copy
of the report and compel the
publication of a larger edition in
the future. The annual mem
bership fee is 81. The member
ship fees form the only source
of income for the society. South
Dakota people are noted for their
push and progress. Do not be
backward in this matter. South
Dakota can raise plenty of trees,
fruit, vegetables, shrubs and
flowers. Learn the proper
methods by becoming a member
of this society.

In the United States when one
speaks of corn maize IS always
meant. Ia England "corn is
applied to all cereals, especially
wheat. In Scotland "cofn
means oats. Germans use the
word in the same sense as lhe
English. Carlyle, beinga Scotch,
man, in writing Of Frederick the
Great allows himself to refer
frequently TO Frederick meal
carks' when, strictly speaking,
he should have sold gram
carts" What the bread OF
Frederick's soldiers was made
of, wheat and rye, not corn IN
the restricted Scotch sense. In
Scotland a "cOrn field is only a
field of oats. Jameson remarks
that the ''cOrn' in northern
Europe is used to denote that
species of grain most IN use IN
any particular region. Hence
in Sweden and Iceland the term
denotes barley.

When is q man rich? Perhaps
when he thinks he is rich. The
popular conception Of riches is
the amusement of great wealth.
A man whose exchequer repre-
sents revenue beyond his rational
needs and his reasonable luxuries
will be popularity designated as
rich. 1t must be remembered
however, that the standard of
wealth, like the standard of many
other things, has been raised.
Spontaneously with the evolu-

err incomes necessary for the

More Than IL Can Do.

Trafic along intermediate
points on the Corvallis & Eastern
railroad has increased to such a
volume that the management is
hard pressed to find cars to move
the stuff. There is such de-
mand at Yaquina, Albany and at
outside points for lumber and
other mill stuff that orders are
greatly delayed.
The shops of the line at va
quina City, though limited as to
facilities, are veritable hive OF
industry at the present time.
Fifty new fat-cars have re-
Gently been manufactured there,
and almost all are ready to be
sent out as lumber carriers. A
number of other cars are to be
made at once. Operations of
two new mills on the east side of
the Coast Range and of a mill
situated at the end of an eight
mile f1nine near Phi'omath have
laIy' ly Increased. Business is
good ~ith lie big lumber mill at
Mill City, on the eastern end of
the Corvallis & Easteln, orders
being in for a month ahead, it is
said. The rolling stock of the
road is kept busy, and much of
the business that has started up
is due to the development of a
country that was Tor a long time
backward. Attention has been
frequently called to the fact that
the Corvallis & Eastern offers
one of the best outlets through
the Cascade Range into Central
Oregon. With a terminus in
Eastern Oregon, the Corvallis &
Eastern would become trans
portatiou line of first importance
in the middle section of the state.

A Towering Palm.

That tropical plants will grow
and flourish in Oregon S evi-
denced by the beautiful Florida
palm, row blooming in the gar
den adjoining the residence of w.
u. Wiibauks. When that gen
tlelnan was visiting in the South,
eleven years ago. he secured two
palm bulbs and brought them
back to Oregon. They were
planted in his garden, and in due
time tiny shoots made their ap-
rearance above the ground. In
its native soil this specie of palm
blooms at the age of ten years,
but the blossom did not make its
appearance on Mr.. Wilbank's S
plant until its eleventh year.
The delay in maturing was prob
ably due to the cool climate.
The trunk of the palm is as thick
as a mans thigh. The flowers
are white and completely cover a
stalk, two feet in length and over
a foot in thickness, which rises
out of the center of the plant.
1t is doubtful if another speci-
men of this beautiful plant can
be found in Oregon.

Come, Let's Wake Up

A. LIE Roy, representing til,
Oregon Immigration Bureau
spent a couple of days in Corval
lis last week, making a second
attempt to secure an exhibi1
from this county to be placed in
the rooms of the Bureau in the
Union depot at Portland. While,
as on the occasion of his former
visit, promises were prolific and
all who were approached were OF
the opinion that this county
should be represented, Mr.. lie
Roy was unable to secure even a
spear of grass as souvenir OF
his trip to Corvallis.
There is probably no place in
Oregon where Advertising is held
of SO little value, as right here.
A few of our merchants realize
its importance, but the majority
look upon money spent for adver-
tising purposes, as donations to
charity. If a man is in business,
he can't have too many people
know of it; if he has something
to sell, he should invite the pub
lie to come and buy. Show win
dows are made attractive simply
to catch attention and inform the
passerby of what he may secure
within. If space in a window is
of value to merchant, surely
space in newspaper is also
worthy of consideration.
This brings us back TO the
subject of an exhibit. Benton
county should throw off her
drowziness and let the world
know she is on the map. Liter
ature should be sent to the Harri-
man Bureau in Chicago, inviting
the people of the Middle West to
come to Benton county. An ex-
hibit, worthy OF the Agricultural
College and this county, should
be placed in the Bureaus rooms
in Portland, that visitors may
learn what,our products are, and
what inducements we have to
offer. Let us not be niggardly.
An advertisement should be con-
sidered an investment, not a
contribution.
