Two Hundred Years After.

One hundred years after his birth
Longfellow is pronounced a literary
force with no sign of waning. Now 1t
remains to be seen what modern judg-
ment has to say on the two hundredth
anniversary of the birth of Henry
Fielding. whom Sir Walter Scott de-
clared the father Of the English nov
ell" The anniversary makes occasion
for the usual feast of meat and wine
and honeyed words. Outside Of lit
erary students and the seekers after
curiosities there has been little interest
in Fielding for the matter Of two gen
erations. Only three Of his novels are
referred to. and his plays are long for
gotten.
The consensus Of critical opinion. as
voiced in the Nineteenth Century, IL
that Fielding's writings are full Of
sturdy moral sense. Besides Scott. as
referred to already. Gibbon. the his
torian and critic; Hazlitt. Coleridge,
poet and philosopher; Thackeray and
James Russell Lowell have praised
them eloquently. Fielding's plays were
his literary wild oats. His three great
novels reflect his matured powers Of
observation and doubtless involve a
true picture Of manners. Lovers Of
Scott, Thackeray and Dickens will per-
haps be stirred by revival of interest
at this late date in master novelist
who was the forerunner Of this trio
and. according to the verdict of two
of them. their master in the art of lit
erary form. Praised by the few and
ignored by the many is the status OF
Fielding. born 200 years ago. while the

IRRIGATED LAND.

At the present time we are direct
ly interested in the sale of Wenatchee
Valley and Columbia Valley lands
and have some very fine opportunities
to offer the eastern man. Fruit
raising under irrigation is the lead
ing industry of the valleys, and mixed
farming in the Big Bend country
adjoining the valley.
Fruit growing to many eastern
farmers, and others not acquainted
with the conditions in the west or
Coast states, would at first thought
scarcely attract attention, owing to
the fact that in the eastern states
fruit-growilg is proving to be an un-
profitable business. Many orchards
are being destroyed yearly, and very
few new ones are being planted.
This has been caused by the fact
that when a good yield is produced
the quality is not what it should be
and low prices are the result. Then
again, being carried on in a small
way, the eastern grower is not in
a position to market his product in
a proper manner to get the top
prices.-The Land Man.

Destroys Colorado Fruit.

DENVER, Col, April 23.-The inn
mense benefit to agriculture and
stock raising generally in Colorado
from the recent storm is not without
a. detracting element in the nature of
loss to the fruit raising industry.
Practically the entire crop of apples
and peaches of the western slope was
destroyed by frost and in some local.
tiles even the trees were killed. This
is also true of the conditions in the
southern part of the state, while fruit
in central Colorado Jared but little
better. A partial crop is hoped for
in the latter section, however.

ability of trimming their trees to in
sure the crop being representative
one as regards the size of the fruit.
The trees are so heavily laden with
blossoms that it is quite impossible
for them to develop the fruit as it
should be. There is fear expressed
that If all the blossoms are permitted
to develop into fruit the crop will
be understood. 1t is to prevent that
condition that it is now proposed to
prune judiciously SO that the fruit
developed will be large.

BURBll. TREATS
CHILD As 1 PLANT


SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, April a.
Through Americas cosmopolitan
population. Luther Burbank. plant
expert, sees in this country the best
opportunity ever presented for de-
veloping the finest race of human
beings the world has known, provid-
ing, that, as in plants, the right
crossing is done.
Proper environment, thereafter. in
childhood is needed to bring the
race to high standard of perfection.
declares Mr.. Burbank, whose re-
markable views on human culture
are given in his first book, THE
Training of the Human Plant
Let me lay emphasis on the OPP
uortunity now presented in the Unit
ed States for observing" says he IN
his book, land if we are wise, aiding
in what | think it fair to say is the
grandest opportunity ever presented
of developing the finest race the
world has ever known out of the
vastsmingling of races brought here
by immigration. These races were
more crossed here than other nations
in the history of the world, and here
we meet the same results that are
always seen in much crossed race
of plants. All the worst, as well as
all the best qualities of each are
brought out in their fullest intensity.
II wish to lay special stress upon
the absurdity, not to call it by
harsher term, of running children
through the same mill in lot with
absolutely no real reference to their
individuality. The wave Of public
dishonesty which seems to be sweep
ing over the country is chiefly due
to lack of proper training, breed
ing, if you will, in the Formative
years of life.
mo boy or girl should see the in
side of school house until at least
ten years old. l am speaking now
of the boy or girl who can be reared
in the only place that is truly fitted
to bring up boy or plant, the
country. The course OF modern child
life in America is over-education.
Mr.. Burbank refers frequently to
love as an essential to cultivating
child life.
Hhere are some of his sayings:
Pick out any trait you want
your child-granted that he is nor
NAL child-be it honesty, purity,
loveableness, industry, thrift, what
not. By surrounding this child with
sunshine. from the sky and from your
own heart, by giving him the closest
communion with nature, by feeding
this child nutritious food, by giving
it all that is implied in healthful
environmental influences, and by de-
ing this in love, you can cultivate
in the child and fix there for all it's
life all of these traits.
''In child rearing, environment is
equally essential with heredity.
There is no such thing in the world.
there never has been such a thing
as a predestined child-predistined
