Living in Hone.

The habit of living In the future
should make us glad and confident.
We should not keep the contemplation
Of another state of existence to make
US sorrowful, nor allow the transiency
Of this present to shade our Joys. Our
hope should make US buoyant, and
keep us firm. 1t is an anchor of the
soul. All men live by hope, even when
1t Is fixed upon the changing and un-
certain things of this world. But the
hopes of men who have not their hearts
fixed upon God try to grapple them
selves on the cloud wrack that rolls
along the tanks of the mountains !;
while our hopes pierce within that
veil, and lay hold of the Rock Of Ages
that tower above the flying vapors. Let
us then be strong, for our future is
not a dim peradventure, nor a vague
dream, nor a fancy Of our own, nor
wish turning itself into a vision, but it
II made and certified by Him who Is
the God Of all the past and Of all the
present. 1t is built upon His Word,
and the brightest hope Of all its bright
ness is the enjoyment of more of His
presence, and the possession of more
Of His likeness. That hope Is certain.
Therefore, let us live in it-Rev. Alex

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

eNtCu1tVC GAD0ttTI0ut8s
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 a 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
guessing this problem, Mr.. Berry stated:
"Among the questions which we
must answer are: What is the best
method of conserving soil moisture?
What is the value of disking the gum
meIfallow early in the spring before it
can be plowed2 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, on
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 strain of plants that
can take moisture from the soil, which
is plant breeding problem"

NORTHWEST HoNORED.
Professor Elliott, of w. 8. c., Ton.
tributes to Cyclopedia.

1t 10 we'll known that Prof. L. 81.
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 it 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 writers on agriculture
throughout the entire country, who
have written up the various subjects on
which they were recognized az authori-
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
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 it's place as one of
the leading wheat producing regions by
calling on Professor E. E. 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 sufi-
cient in itself to make quite \ book II
published separately. 1t covers the
entire subject of wheat production in
America and at the same time atten-
tion 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 are to be congratulated in the
fact that the article in question has
been prepared by enc 30 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 we'll as through the wheat
producers organization which was ini-
tiated by him.

Figs Thrive In Polk County.

Figs as large and perfectly developed
as those raised in the most favored por-
ton of California are grown at the town
home of Mrs. E. F. Lucas, in Mon
mouth. Specimens of the fruit were
brought to Dallas by Mrs. Martha Cos
per, who had been visiting in the nor.
NAL school town. The figs were of de-
licious flavor and were far superior to
the California fruit usually found in
the Oregon markets.
Mrs. Lucas tree is seven years old,
the cutting having been brought from
California in 1900. The tree ia making
luxuriant growth and has already
reached height Of IL feet. Three
crops OF fruit are borne each year. The
specimens brought to Dallas by Mrs.
Cosper included ripe and green fruit
OF the second crop and half grown fruit
OF the third crop. The tree has been
in bearing four years.

Good Money In Peach Crop.

Shipments of early Crawford peaches
from Roseburg this year will aggregate
a total of nearly 20, 900 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 So cents
per box, while those OF higher grade
brought as high as $l.25 per box.
After deducting transportation charges,
these prices left the growers a neat
margin OF profit. Most of the fruit
was marketed In Portland.

Enxland,. National Color.


Why red should have been selected
IS the national color becomes intelligi-
de when we look at the cross of st.
leorge. Sir Walter Scott, when he
wrote Of how their own sea hath
vhelmed those red cross powers" was
merely anticipating the phrase of to-
lay. But Oliver Cromwell, when for
he first time he put the English soldier
IN red coat, probably did as much as
st. George to monopolize red as the ma
tional color. The aggressive color has,
however, many meanings and has lent
itself to many uses In the days Of
