wALNuTs IN WASHINGTON STATE.

Ten prominent farmers of the Wenatchee VAL
ley have decided to conduct a series Of expert
ments in the cultivation of English walnuts
They have secured sufficient seed to plant forty
five acres One man proposes to devote twenty
acres to nut trees. The promoters hope TO
demonstrate that the soil and climatic conditions
of that section adapted to successful nut
culture. The market is at their doors. and sue
cess is assured when the crops are harvested.
The new industry promises profitable invest
ment, and will add much to advertising the coun-
try as a desirable location for diversified tree
culture. Walnut growing is comparatively new
experimental stage. One farm in Chelan County
has produced excellent nuts. The trees were
grown from seed and began bearing nuts when
five years old Last season they gave better
profits than any fruits in that section. Similar
results have been attained in Clarke County and
other localities in the Puget Sound region The
only reason why home grown nuts have not
large areas have been planted. Now that We
natchee has made a beginning. it remains for
other districts to follow.
The use of nuts food is increasing every
year throughout the United States. Physicians
recommend a nut diet in many instances a
meat substitute. Scientists. claim that much OF
the sickness of the people originates in the use
eating more nuts. To supply the increasing de-
mand our country must import large quantities
of nuts from foreign lands every year. The
money sent to South America and other places
for these necessities could be used home in
building up the farms and beautifying the resi-
dences if the farmers produced the nuts. Here,
then, is one of the Seattle Post

BARON GUSTAVE TOSTI.
italian Representative at This Port
GOing to Boston.

Baron Gustave Tosti, who has been in charge
of the consulate general Of Italy for New York
during the period of nearly two years and who
in few days leaves this city after residence
here of nearly a decade, to assume the direction
of Italys consular interests at Boston and
throughout New-England has taken an active
part in the movement for the Americanization
of italian immigrants bv distributing them in
the AGRICULTURAL districts Of the Southern and
Western States and Transforming them into
landowners in lieu of permitting them. not mere
Iy to congregate but also to segregate in New
York and other Eastern cities.
Indeed no one has more strongly and enthus-
astcally supported the policy Of the present
Italian Ambassador at Washington Baron
Mayor des Planches, than NJ de Tosti who IN
his articles in 1.-The North American Review
and other publications. American and Italian.
as we'll as in his public speeches, has invariably
advocated, to use his own words, "the gradual
and natural disintegration Of the so-called alien
italian colonies I'D the blending of their MEM
bers with the communities in which they Lave
established their new home"
Over and over again has he advocated. in
print and from the platform, the evil OF the
overcrowding of Italian immigrants in the cities
and discussed the most efflcacfous means or
favoring their distribution in the agricultural
districts the advantages of which are apparent
when it is borne in mind that the greater part
of the italian immigrants who land on these
shores hail from the rural districts of King
Victor Emmanuels dominions, and are accus-
toned to no other labor than that Of an agri-
cultural character.
The baron is a member of one Of the Oldest
families of the Nea apolitan aristocracy, that
owns among other dignities that of Count della
Guardia being descended from the general OF
A. +1O pan
vento under King Manfred. Graduated with
the degree of doctor of laws FROM the Univer-
sty of Naples, he entered the service of the De-
partment of Foreign Affairs at Rome, and
served in turn as vice-consul and consul at
Tripoli Tunis, Marseilles and Cairo before COM
ing to New York. the seven or eight years
that he has been stationed here he has devoted
his leisure to the study of medicine. taken a
degree of doctor of medicine in 1901 from the
Long Island College Hospital and passed the
New-Y York State examination, but has not
availed himself of the privilege conferred there
by to practise medicine, contenting himself with
PSYCHOLOGICAL researches. He is member of the
County Medical Society OF New-York, of the
Nev-York Neurological Society, and one of the
founders Of the Dante Society of America, which
has for its object the study of the italian lam
guage and literature in this country, along the
lines of the work of the Alliance Francais
The baron, who belongs to the Calumet and
other New York clubs, married the daughter of
a German diplomat who for number of years

The. clever forger who few weeks ago raised a.
check drawn by large department store IN this
city from 81 50 TO g 500 made serious mistake
when he overlooked the fact that it was drawn on
a member OF the American Banking Association.
He might as well have thrown up his hands and
confessed his past record which proved him a pro-
fessional bank swindler. for the association will
never let up on him.
Instead he tried to make the police officials be-
heve that while the association was prosecuting him
they were peasioning more dangerous bank robbers
to turn their skill in other chaunes and let alone
the seventy-ve hundred national State and private
banks which members. This and other pleas did
not avail. and the check raiser was held for grand
jury action.
II has served however, to bring from James r.
Branch. secretary of the protective committee Of
the American Banking Association. an emphatic
protest that the association was concerned in any
such doubtful practice that of buying immunity
from professional thieves.
