We see a good deal in the papers
about dry farming. Strictly speaking,
there is no such thing. The men who
use this expression do not mean what
the language literally implies. No
doubt but those who intelligently use
this phraseology mean that they can
grow crops by methods used to con-
serve moisture where it has been
supposed to be too dry to grow them.
1t is true, beyond doubt that a plant
of any kind can no more live or grow
without water than man can live
without air. Water is not food for
the plant, but is the means of con-
Quoting the food materials into the
plant. Not thing can enter plant
for it's nourishment unless in the
liquid state, except carbon and oxy-
gen, and they enter through the open
ings in the leaves; all other food ma
terials enter through certain parts of
the roots. These openings in the roots
are so small that they cannot be seen
with the naked eye. The earth holds
in suspension some nine or ten in
gradients as food materials for all
plant life, but not one of those can
enter the plant unless it is dissolved
in water. The water must percolate
through the soil and take up these
ingredients and pass them through
the root hairs and some Of the newer
parts of the roots in the liquid form
or they will never enter at all. So
the idea that some seem to have that
plants can grow without any water,
from which it is called "dry farm
ing is without any foundation what
ever.
How much water a plant needs and
how little water in the soil may be
necessary, provided it is conserved in
some way, are entirely different ques-
lions from the one whether plant
can grow without any water at all.
Not only must the plant have water,
but this water must pass through the
soil Water cannot be put into a
plant through the leaves or through
the bark or by boring hole in a
tree. All such efforts are absolute
failures, and if it were possible to pass
water into a plant without going
through the soil, it would not do a
particle of good for the plant food,

The planter who sets in
his orchard other trees
than the best he can buy
is making a serious mis-
take.
A good tree at a fair
price is cheaper than a
pood tree or one of ques-
tionable worth, as a gift.
Orchard land is too val
liable to be encountered
with trees that will be a
long time in bringing re-

Our trees are grown on
the Yakima Reservation,
isolated from old orchards,
being as a consequence
free from pest or disease,

FRENCH UNDERWEAR.

1t Is said that needlework is at a
low ebb in France and is going into fac
tories Instead of shops. Much Of the
charm of fashionable underwear, new
ertheless, Is due to embroidery. The
trimming is not overloaded. Fineness
or material and workmanship is more
considered.
Many chemises are embroidered on
the fabric and left with the hard seal
loped edge. High necked night gowns
have vanished from dainty lingerie, but
older women perforce adopt them. The
influence Of the Japanese sleeve asserts
Itself In night gowns, Jackets and
chemises Flat, shallow yokes appear
on many nightgowns.
The costliness Of petticoats goes on
increasing; froths of lace about the
feet Is one OF their distinguishing fea-
lures, and they are never made stiff
Sheath tops with a variety of fiounces
are affected by many fashionables now,
FOR they lessen the cost just a little
