Farmers as Bankers.
One of the most notable outgrowths
of savings by farmers is the great
multiplication of small National banks
in recent years. AS many as 1,754
banks, each with capital of less than
$4,000, were organized from March,
1900, to October, 1905. These were dis
tributed mostly throughout the South
and the North Central States, in rural
regions. In the South 633 of these banks
were organized, and in the North Gen.

Plant Diseases and Plant Breeding.
The Bureau of Plant Industry is or
ganized into eleven Offices and employs
over 500 persons, about 60 per cent
of whom are engaged in distinctly
scientific work.
In its systematic work in securing
new plants and seeds from foreign
countries the Bureau of Plant Industry
has been highly successful. Success
has also attended it's work in cotton
breeding, undertaken with the view
to obtaining new sorts combining i'm
proved length of staple with produc-
tiveness. The Secretary records the
production of a new citrus fruit, the
citrange, several varieties of which,
the Rusk, the Willets, the Norton
have been developed. Another inter-
esting product is the new tangelo, a
hybrid of the pomelo or grape fruit,
and the tangerine orange.
Very considerable Importance is re-
corded in the manner of seed distribu-
tion. A special feature has been the
encouragement of school-garden work
thereby.

to initiate a number of amendments
to the Oregon constitution has
been started, and an organization
is forming to boom them for th
next June campaign when they
will be submitted to the electors of
the state. The amendments will
be initiated by petition of at least
8 per cent of the number of voters
who cast their ballots for supreme
judge in the June election last year.
The first amendment on the list
would give the people power to call
the referendum on single items in
an appropriation bill; at present,
the referendum can be called only
on bill as whole. The same
amendment provides that the cleo
tors of any town or county or elect
orial district in the state for which
the legislature passes an act, can
demand the referendum on the act.
The latter half of this amendment
would give the people power to con
troll salaries of county, district OF
city officers, and would take away
from legislators their dictatoria
powers over laws relating to their
localities, The legislature is accus-
toned to pass local bills on recon-
mendation of the lawmakers from
the affected district.
This legislative courtesy has Civ
en- large one-man power to legisla
tors over charters and salaries ot
state and city officers.
On the single item part of tn
amendment, the pamphlet says:

Washington, Sept. 9.-As with
all things jap apese, there is little
joker hidden in the recent peace
treaty put there by the willy Kom.
ura and the shrewd Takahira. 1t
means that, while Japan was, little
by little ceding her rights to an
indemnity for war costs, she was
covertly preparing way to wrest
from the Russian bear a greater
money prize than he would have
ever been able to pay in the name
Of an indemnity. The prize and
oker is contained In the ninth and
eleventh articles of the treaty: To-
night all Washington is laughing
in its sleeve at the way that Rus
sia has handed over through these
clauses of the treaty, over $780,
100000 annually, to Japan.
The clause reads:
Russia cedes to Japan the south
ern part Of Sa kalin Island as far
north as the 50th degree of north
latitude, together with the islands
dependent thereon. The right of
free navigation is assured in the
bays of La Perouse and Tartare.' y
This seems to be very simple in
it's phraslng but read article II and
you will see the fine and crafty
hand of the japanese when the
clause states:
Russia engages herself to make
an agreement with japan giving to
Japanese subjects the right to fish
in Russian territorial waters, the
sea of japan, the sea of Okhotsk
and Behring sea-"
Both of these clauses it is assert
ed here by eminent authorities
are nothing less than giving to Ja-
pan paramount power in the Paci-
fic placing her in advance of the
United States there and giving her
fishery rights in the seas of Behring
Okho'sk, Tartare and La Perouse,
worth third more than are fish.
cry rights in the Pacific worth to
the United States.
Japan's rights are now under the
treaty, said to be worth $4,000, ,ooo
annually or more than those of the
United S ates there. If an indem'
nifty had been assented to, Japan
would not have gained these rights
