ranged There Like Library Books.
Disorders of speech, due to physical
damage In the brain, show that words
are there arranged somewhat like books
on library shelves When a man,
therefore, learns new language he
has to provide a new shelf for its
words. This is proved by the case,
among many others like it, of man
who, besides his mother English, learn
ed French. Latin and Greek. He be-
came word-bllnd in English, but still
could read French, though with some
mistakes, and Latin with fewer mis-
takes than French, while Greek he
could read perfectly-showlng that his
English shelf was ruined, his French
shelf damaged, his Latin shelf less so,
while his Greek row escaped entirely.
Other Instances show that the books
speak. that not one of them can be
got out, i'm which case the event proves
that on each shelf the verbs are placed
first. the pronouns next, then the pre-
positions and adverbs and the nouns

NORTHWEST HONORED.
Professor Elliott, of w. S. c., Con-
tributes to CYcIopedia.

! 1t is we'll known that Prof. L. H.
Bailey, Of Cornell university, has been
working for three years past on an ex-
tensive publication to be known as The
American Cyclopedia OF Agriculture.
This is to be published in several vol
umes and ii is expected that it will be
accepted by the reading public as the
standard reference work on rural affairs.
1t has been many years since such a
work has been attempted and nothing
of such an extensive nature has ever
been undertaken before in America.
Professor Bailey has called to his aid
the best known writer's on agriculture
throughout the entire country, who
have written up the various subjects on
which they were recognized as authors
ties. The entire work may be referred
to as the combined efforts Of the agri-
cultural specialists of America and
when published will no doubt find a
place in the library of most progressive
farmers.
1t is significant that when it came to
the very important subject of wheat
that Professor Bailey recognized the
great Northwest and its place as one of
the leading wheat producing regions by
calling on Professor E. f. Elliott, head
of the Agricultural department at the
State college of Washington, to prepare
this most important article. This has
been done by Prof. Elliott and the mat
ter is now in the hands Of the publish
ers. The article in question consists. of
about ten thousand words, with numer-
Gus illustrations, and would be suffi-
cient in itself to make quite a book If
published separately. 1t covers the
entire subject of wheat production in
America and at the same time atten-
ton is particularly called to the, great
regions OF the Northwest where the pro-
duction and quality Of this cereal have
placed it in the forefront. Our wheat
growers ale to be congratulated in the
fact that the article in question has
been prepared by enc so familiar with
the subject and who is doing SO much
to advance the industry throug the
work being done by his department at
the state experiment station and at the
various cereal stations established in
the state as well as through the wheat
producers organization which was mi
tiated by him.

AID TO "DRY FARMlNG."
Washington State College Conducting.
Extensive Experiments.

The problem of "dry farming" now
before the farmers of the semi-arid re-.
gions of the Pacific Northwest has been
taken up by the Experiment Station of
Washington, and it is hoped to work
out method Of farming for these re-
gions which will increase their crop
bearing capacity. The present opera
tions of experimentation are largely
relative to the physics of soils, and are
in charge of Professor H. B. Berry, soil
physicist of the State college. Dis
cussing this problem, Mr.. Berry stated,
"Among the questions which we
must answer are: What is the best
method of conserving soil moisture2
What is the value Of disking the sum-
merfallow early in the spring before it,
can be plowed? What is the value of
the sub-surface packer? If the crop.
suffers from drouth, is it because there
is not sufficient moisture in the soil, or.
is it because the plants cannot take the.
moisture from the soil?
In the former case we must endeavor-
to devise cultural method to conserve
moisture; and in the latter case, we
must develop a strain of plants that
can take moisture from the soil, which
is plant breeding problem"

Good Money in Peach Crop.

Shipments of early Crawford peaches
from Roseburg this year will aggregate
total of nearly 10000 boxes. This is
the estimate given by E. P. Drew, who
is handling the shipments of the local
fruitgrowers' association, whose mem
bership embraces nearly all of the
peach growers in that vicinity.
Growers have realized good prices for
their product. Peaches of average size
and quality brought fom IS to SIS ceEts
per box, while those of higher grade
brought as high as s1.25 per box.
After deducting transportation changes,
these prices left the growers neat
margin OF profit. Most of the fruit
was marketed in Portland.

If alliance by klnship could guaran

Is in a position to maintain friendly
relations with nearly all the countries
Of Europe, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The birth of an heir to the
throne of Spain brings that country
Into close association with England, as
far as royal relationship goes. King
Edward married the daughter of n

Greece and Sweden. The Kings daugh-
ter Maud was married In 1896 IN
Prince Karl of Denmark, now King
Haakon VII. OF Norway. These are
Austro-Brltish royal relationships. A
collateral klnship exists between the
King of Italy and King Edward, and
an indirect connection can be traced
between the British monarch and tbe
King OF Servla, the Queen OF Holland
and the royal house of France, If that
be worth mentioning
1t is impossible to say what Infu.
ence these direct and indirect bonds
between the British dynasty and CON
tlnental rulers would have in keeninp
the peace OF Europe If it were men
aced by a substantial dispute. ROYAL
relationships have not prevented war in
the past and most persons will not
place much confidence In such connec- |
tons as factors for peace in the I'm |
ture. National sentiment counts for
more In these days than the personal
interests of soyerelgns.
Whatever the effort 1t is obviously
one of the purposes of royal marriages
to cement the friendships of nations.
Such alliances are often affairs Of
state rather than of personal affection.
but they have not superseded the neces-
slty for the political alliances, often
slve and defensive. under which the
nations are grouped. The ties Of royal
klnship do not appear as part of the
motive for such political alliances and
we imagine that they would prove to
be only slight deterrent il they were

For a number Of years past we have
had violent popular agitation against
cigarettes, and many States have
thought 1t advisable to enact strenuous
legislation as to their manufacture,
sale and use. How Intellectual all this
has been may be inferred from the re
port that the sale of cigarettes in the
United States In 1906 exceeded that of
the preceding year by s51,000,000. This
makes a record in the sale OF these
articles. There was also an Increase
of about a million pounds in the i'm
portations Of Turkish tobacco, largely
used In cigarette making.
