mary of the rice crop prospects Issued
by the director of land records for

Making Experiments With

agreed to grow under the departments
directions two acres of tobacco from
the same seed, one acre at Florin and
the other at Marysville. This expert
ment is made on the red foothill lands
of the Sierra Nevadas and in my Opin-
ion will produce very good filler to-
bacco.
1T is the plan after this tobacco has
been grown and cured TO bring ii to-
gether In one lot to be fermented and
tested as to its quality, and if the
tobacco has any merit to warrant it.

Developments of the industry. While
have no doubt that tobacco will grow.
as does almost every other plant, very
luxuriantly in California. | realize on
account OF the extreme dry weather
which prevails during the curing sea-
sons of July and August, that methods
in the building of the curing sheds
will have to be adopted to prevent the
tobacco from curing too fast.

Some strfl1ingly curious population

ulatjon was one OF the most prolific IN
Europe. and in one period of twenty
wears increased from 2s.000.000 TO 3S,-
O0O, 900. Now the tendency is strongly
in the opposite direction. while at the
same time emigration, which now
reaches 1000 900 souls a year, is leav-
ing old districts depopulated. The
natural increase has declined from
1888 per 1000 in 1901 to 6.1 in 1905 In

TAINTED MONEY IN CHURCHES

There is tainted money" of the
church and it is of the kind that is
wheedled out of people through their
appetites and their vanities. Men are
the worst offenders in this respect.
Women will make the little sacrifices
that are really great. 1t was woman,
be it remembered, who gave the sym
bolical mite. But man who has to
have his stomach and his purse ap-
pealed to by the thoughts of Chick
en- pie dinner in the parlor of the
church" at a bargain. who has to be
cajoled into laying his offering on the
altar by a pretty girl whose finishing
coquetry is a stage soubrette's apron,
has little religion in his soul. 1t is the
women of a church who devise won
drous schemes for making money In
which they do many things which are
personally repugnant to their gentle
and refined natures. And these schemes
are all to work" man when he will
not do his straightforward duty In the
matter of religious contributions
