IDAHO

1t seems strange to look back on
the days when we imported fruit and
vegetables, with the whole plant king
dom ready to be conquered for our
farmers. We smile when we recall
the days before the war" when the
tomato was curio from Peru-a
poison apple" used to brighten the
slaves into obedience Yet last year
we grew 1t on 100000 acres of land.
The Franciscan fathers were early
workers in this respect. The alfalfa
they introduced in the '50s-which
found It's way here from Asia Minor.
by way of Chile-has turned 1000. 00n
acres into an immensely profitable
farm area. Their sprigs of olive, too,
now cover 1000 orchards. And few
orange cuttings from the Brazilian
east coast, due to the foresight OF an
American woman, to-day represent
$4,000, 600 year for the California
crop alone. AS one Of the smaller
things, take the horseradish of Malin.
a little village near Vienna-the best
OF Its kind In the world Then behold
roots secured on the spot, and in due
time handed over to New Jersey
growers. The result was surprising.
Not only did II yield ton more per
acre, but the cash result was 500 an
acre over and above the ordinary
yield And In a single county OF that
small state the production of horse.
radish grew from a few hundred
pounds year to more than 200, 900
pounds, says Appleton's Magazine. 1t
has been the same with the potato
from the highlands of Colombia and
Peru; the rhubarb from central Asia;
the asparagus from England; the eel
cry of south Europe; the Beldi and
Tell barleys from Algeria, which have
given such wonderful results In our
southwest; likewise the Ivanoy rye |
from Russia, now grown in Maryland
and Kansas; and the Abruzzes rye |
from the italian highlands.

Half Hours with Best Husband

Half Hours with Best Husbands.
The suggestion recently made that
women adopt an arbitrary system of
social Intercourse with their hus
bands and set aside a certain proper
ton of the day for this purpose. has
met with various forms of criticism.
according TO the experience OF the
critic On the whole, 1t may be said
that 1t is with husbands as II ia with
authors. Half hours with the best
authors are frequently unsatisfylng.
because II the author Is to ones taste
q half hour is all too short a time To
spend with him, while If he proves un
suitable, moment spent In commun
ION with him is tedious. Generally
speaking, any arbitrary form of hu.
man intercourse is unsatisfying, says
Chicago Tribune. Women who have
regular days at home" have been
known to confess that the day some.
times becomes burden, and those
ambitious readers who have set aside
certain hours each day for the perusal
OF uplifting books have failed at
times to feel the uplift. or course,
being at home" to husband is less
formal and less formidable affair than
being at home to friends, and the
reading of a man always offers a
piquancy unknown to books, but Just
because the matter is one OF greater
delicacy and spirituality It should be
removed from the drawbacks Of for.
