of all other fruits which are of con-
trary tastes and natures. If you graft
any fruit trees or other tree upon
the sypresse, they will be greene and
keepe their leaves the whole year,
albeit the winter be ever so bitter. If
you graft either peach, plum or any
stone fruit upon willow stock, the
fruit which cometh of them will be

Conditions east of the Cascades are
varied and are, of course, very much
in contrast with the conditions west
of the mountain, but special lectures
will, be given to fit the conditions
which are found in this very large and
important agricultural producing dis
trict tributary to the lines of the o. r.
& N. and the Southern Pacific. This
will be done with view of lending
such assistance to the farmers as the
railroads and the Agricultural College
can render.
Eggs, butter and poultry are
shipped to Portland, Spokane and the
Puget Sound markets in solid carloads
in considerable quantities. Hogs are
shipped here from Nebraska by the
trainload. Cream comes here by ex-
press from Utah. These things may
not be known generally, but they in
dictate a situation that is wrong and it

In order to get the greatest possible

He told of experiments at the Wash
ington State College experiment farm,
where 500 an acre net had been
cleared on corn grown on summer-fal-
low land and fed to steers, and the
land sowed to wheat that fall had pro-
duced as much wheat as the same
amount of land adjoining which had
been summer-fallowed, thus showing a
net profit of 500 an acre from the corn
land over that which had been sum-
mer-fallowed. The professor mentioned

other crops which can be raised on
land instead of summer-fallowing.
Over at Pendleton, Ore, e. Siboloy,
superintendent of the beet sugar fac
tory at La Grande, argues that the
wheat raisers of that county can raise
sugar beets upon their land instead of
wasting a season by Summer-fallOw-
ing. He says that sugar beets may be
raised during the summer and the
crop harvested and the land gotten
into shape for wheat seeding in the
fall. BY such a course the land may
be worked every year, and he says that
soil will be enriched rather than de-
pleted by the extra crop, for the rea-
son that the beets take different sub
stances from the soil than does a
wheat crop.
The necessity for changing crops is
we'll illustrated at Central Park, New
York City. Land valued at $1,000,000
per acre may be planted with pota-
toes this year as advised by the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
potato crop is likely to be Park Com
missioner Smiths choice, as the grow
ing tops will not obscure the view,
while corn might. The park soil, it
is said, needs regeneration; keeping
single variety of vegetation growing
continuously on given areas has re-
suited in deterioration. Were resoil-
ing instead of the crop rotation plan to
be adopted, the estimated cost would
be between 100000 and 100000.

A GRAND MUSICAL EVENT.
Manager BixIer, of the Auditorium
secures the MiIane Grand Opera
Company for One Night.

Lovers of good music will no doubt
be pleased to learn that Manager Blk
Ter, of the Auditorium, has secured
the Milane Grand Opera Company,
which has been at the French Opera
House, New Orleans during the past
season, for an engagement of one
night only, at which time the opera
Faust will be presented by strong
cast of principals, accompanied by an
orchestra of thirty pieces. 1t is SCI
dom that an opportunity is offered
to people in town the size Of Hat
tiesburg to hear such talent, and Mr..
Bixler hesitated for some time before
signing the contract which was nee
essary to secure the company as this
is big undertaking especially under
present conditions. Speaking Of this
attraction Mr.. Bixler said: II have
presented a list of attractions to the
people of Hattiesburg this season,
which has included the best Of every
and while l don't like to lose rooney,
or induce company to come here
and undergo that painful experience, l
am anxious to see how many people
there are in Hattiesburg who really ap-
preciate good music. While I realize
that business conditions are not what
they should be, yet this kind of an
attraction appeals to those who can

opera is Faust" and almost everyone
is familiar with the story, which is
sung in this opera. The orchestra
and ballet alone will be worth the
price of the admission, so l felt that
while there was risk of loss | was
willing to chance it in order to try
out Hattiesburg and find out whether
there are enough music loving peo
pie to justify further efforts. The
