AMERICAN SPEECH UNIFORM.

1t has been observed that the Ian

remarkably uniform. True there are
many dialects. hut Great Britain. less

states. contains such very different
languages us English. Welsh and the
Gaelic of the Scottish highlands. to
say nothing of the provincial dialects

grants drawn from nearly every cOun-
try. large aud small. all over the
world. there is far greater uniformity
Of speech than in any other land of
equal area and population.
The cuuscs can he readily seen. The
public schools have made this a ma
ton Of readers aud the press has sup
piled books aud papers without limit.
Press associations have done their part
tnw ard giving uniform and fairly
good tone to the newspaper language
OF the day. The telegraph and tele-
,,r,nr aud cheap postage have brought
distant parts Of the country into quick
and easy communication and SO have
aided in teaching a common language.
The railroad has penetrated every
corner of the land and made a nation
of travellers. Countless human shut
ties thus are thrown daily across the
land in every direction. carrying with
them tho threads OF thought and speech
and doing their part to make one pat
tern of the whole.

Even the least sensitive will feel
something akin to a shock at the an
nOuncement made at the national sea
defense conference that 115sQuare miles
OF land have been swallowed up by the
sea on the Yorkshire coast alone. and
this in time that has elapsed since the
Roman invasion. says the London News
At the close of the meeting +. r.
Matthews said:
''rhe annual loss on the whole east
coast of England is larger in area than
the Island of Heligoland. And, al
though many thousand acres OF land
have been reclaimed In Lincolnshire.
Cheshire aud elsewhere. the balance Is
still several hundred square miles on
the wrong side and the best authorities
deny that this gain has ever equaled
the loss.
"Thc constant reduction in area Of
the remainder Of the British isles IS
also considerable: the sea is steadily

Another delegate. Mr.. ChevertOn-

means II loss OF about 1920 acres of

Two other striking illustrations CT
the manner in which the waves relent-
iessly dcvour the land were given to-
our representative. In 1866, the chan

from the cliff. but this church was
swallowed entirely by the sea many
years ago and the whole Of old Kilnsel

nuts are too tender to grow here East
ern grown nuts should also do well
here.
While nut trees are rather dilatory
in coming into bearing, they soon make
up for lost time when they begin to
bear. The trees can be set out from
the nursery when four years from the
seed. and under ordinarily fair cpndi-
tons should begin to bear i'm four or
five years from setting out. The trees
are very slow growers the first two or
three years, but after getting started
grow quite rapidly.
Utah produces its full share of weeds,
both native and imported, which rob
the soil and cumber the ground, i'm
poverishing the farmer to the tune of
hundreds Of thousands. The most con-
Spicuous weedS-plants out Of place
are tine great growth of willow. cotton
wood, poplar. locust, box elder and
other useless trees which fill every farm
yard, border every field and fill the
la1Gscape. The only excuses for their
existence are that they furnish CRATE
full shade and add beauty to their en-
vironments. Were these supplanted by
fruit and nut trees, which furnish as
grateful shade and are as beautiful and
stately as any of the trees named, who
can estimate the increased wealth that
would ensue to this state? If walnuts
supplsnted only the poplar and cotton
wood trees, which occupy soil generally
well adapted to the needs of the wal
Tut. the crop would be worth hundred
thousand annually to the state. at
conservative estimate When it is COLI
sidored how e2sy it Is to grow and care
for fruit and nut trees. it is certainly
waste of effort TO grow other trees or
the farm. along the dividing line of
farms and irrigating bitches and other
protected situations
No one however, she uld be misled by
the enormous crops produced by iso-
lated trees and expect like results from
every tree iii his grove. Still, any one
who wishes to embark i'm walnut grow
ing will be reasonably safe in the ven
ture by planting in places where con-
genial conditions prevail, where the soil
and moisture are favorable. Tho wal
nut wants deep, fairly rich soil, not
clayey nor swampy, but with sufficient
moisture to keep thrifty: rocky or
