VARIETIES OF FRUIT.
Washington Professor Makes Study
Of Each Region.

Washington Professor Makes Study
Of Each Region.
By L. Ashlock, Washington State Collssa
Pullman.
During the past year numerous in
quiIies have come to the State college
department of horticulture asking ques-
tions which generally can be summed
up in the one question: "What kinds
of fruit will do best where l liver"
This class of quiries has given the sta Fl
Of the state experiment station consid-
erable trouble, since, as stated by Pro-
fessor Thornber, head of the department
of horticulture, unless the staff mem
bers know exactly the climatic and coil
conditions of the region from which the
question came, erroneous information
may be given, leading the seeker for in
formation to plant trees not at all
adapted to his region.
"Now we have solved the problem"
said Professor Thorher, recently. "Dur-
ing the last year we have made care
ful survey OF the state with reference to
the particular varieties of fruits which
are ada pied to each region. We have
classified the lists into Western Wash
ington, Inland Valleys and upland
Valleys In this list is included ap-
Piles, pears, cherries, peaches, spricots,
plums, rsspberries, prunes, blackber-
ries, gocseberries. currants, strawber-
ries and nuts. Early, medium early
and late varieties are given where it is
necessary. We submit these lists to all
inquirers now, and from dozen or so
good varieties of apples, pears, ETC.. he
may choose as he likes, according to the
adapta bility Of the fruit for his region.
"Another experiment We have in
hand is one in which We have selected
sixty-five good varieties OF apples from
the eight hundred or so varieties in the
state experiment station orchard, and
are sending two varieties of each OF the
sixty-five varieties to ten farmers or
fruitgrowers Of Washington. We wish
to determine by this experiment how
each variety will do in the particular
region in which it is tried, and in this
way We hope to collect much valuable
data concerning the possibilities for
new varieties Of apples In this region"

was pure and healthy the place would

Test Indeterminate Law.

1t is the understanding among
those interested in the subject that
a test case soon will be made to de-
termine the validity Of the indeter-
inmate sentence law which some of
the judges in northwestern Iowa have
been inclined to ignore. Already
one convict who was given term
sentence instead of an indetermin-
ate sentence has been dismissed from
the custody of the state at the end
of his term. The term fixed by the
court in the sentence was six months.
the minimum fixed by the board of
parole is eleven months. When the
six months was up the state board
of control released the man, whose
papers showed that the judge who
pronounced sentence fixed the eX
piration of it at a definite date. The
board of parole has no power over
the reformatory or prison, which re-
main in the control of the board of
control. 1t may release the prison
ers confined at the expiration of the
term sentences IL it sees fit, until
the law is tested. Were the board
to refuse to release some prisoner
of this kind the law would be tested
very quickly by habeas corpus Pro-
ceedings for the release of the man.

our DeceivIno Senses,


Many readers no doubt are familiar
with Saxe's version of the Hindoo
legend relating the impressions of the
six blind men who went to see the
Elephant; but few probably read 1t
with so much as passing thought to
Tho great realm of mental phenomena
at which 1t hints. The first, 1t will be
remembered, happening to fall
against the elephants side, pronounced
him like wall; the second, feeling of
his tusk, thought him like spear; the
third, taking his squirming trunk in
his hands, found him to be very like
a snake; and so the fourth, fifth and
sixth, judging from his leg, ear and
tail, each in turn insisted that he was
like tree, a fan and a rope A little
reflection will show, of course, that the
difficulty with the six blind men was
really be such thing; but insufficient
observation for a correct generaliza-
ton, says Technical World Magazine.
Most, if not all of our knowledge of
the external world is gained through
the sense organs; and since few sub
jectg in that external world are Of ele-
mentary simplicity, it follows that the
ideas of most things are more or less
logical aggregations of all the percep-
tons to which it has given rise. Thus
the pencil hold in my hand manifests
itself to me in manifold ways. l see
its form, its size, its colors, it's indiVid-
ual peculiarities of surface. l feel its
smoothness in places, its roughness in
others, its form also, and even distin-
guish between the wood and the graph
lite; heft it in my hand or on my
finger; smell the odor Of the cedar,
and lido l0 taste it also, in the same
way perhaps getting also sensation
differing from the others, from the
graphite; and then tap it with an
other pencil and hear the sound pro-
duced. Now all these, and many more,
percepts, each more or less distinct
from the others, so to make up the
idea Of pencil.

There are some grounds for gratif-
cation in the report made by the inter
state commerce commission as to the
number of railroad casualties during
the fiscal year ended with June last. 1t
appears that within the period men
toned 1854 persons were killed and
6S,9S9 injured, which is a decrease of
1926 killed and 1927 injured as COM
pared with the preceding year. The
showing is bad enough, but the returns
suggest better conditions. 1t is also
noted that during the last quarter of
the late fiscal year 10 passengers were
killed in train accidents, the smallest
number on record for that length of
time. May the Improvement con-
tinue.

ayers Would Enforce Law.

Byers Would Enforce Law.
Des Moines.--In his annual report
to Governor Garst, Attorney General
Byers makes the following recon-
mendations regarding the re-organiza
tion of the attorney generals depart
ment:
First. Make 1t possible for the
governor ito take care that the laws
are faithfully executed" by giving him
the power upon proper complaint, to
remove peace officers, mayors and
prosecuting attorneys.
Second. A complete reorganization
of the attorney generals department.
along substantially the same lines as
the department of justice in the ma
tional government is organized;
establishing a closer relation between
the county attorney and the attorney
general; requiring the county attor-
ney to report to the attorney general
promptly all matters of Importance
pending in his office in which the
state is interested, and giving to the
attorney general power to take
charge, either himself or by assist
ants appointed by him for the pur-
pose, of any case pending in the dis
trict court in which the state is in
terested and to appear before the
grand jury in any county in any mat
ter pending before that body of suf-
ficient importance to justify, in his
Judgment, such appearance.
Third. Enlarging the powers and
duties of oil and food inspectors, re-
curing them to assist prosecuting at
torneys and the attorney general in
securing evidence in all prosecutions
in which the state is interested
whether it be violation of the crimr-
nal laws of the state or for the col
lection of fees and fines due the
state.
Fourth. Give the county attorney
authority to follow appeals to- the
supreme court when requested by the
attorney general, with ample provi-
sion for his compensation and ex-
penses.
Fifth Give to the attorney gen
erals department sufficient force to
properly transact the business of the
Office, with salaries high enough to
secure the best possible service.
Sixth. A general revision of the
laws governing criminal practice and
procedure.

1t seems that the new postage
stamps which Postmaster General
Meyer is abont to issue will be some
thing in the nature of restoration of
an old design, rather than an entirely
new one. There is occasion for popu-

Houdon profile of Washington, which
is the best and most distinguished ever
produced, is to come back after five
years Of retirement to reoccupy the
position it held for half a century. 1t
goes back not only to the two-cent

denominations, leaving the profile Of

Desire Horticultural Department.

DeSire HORTICULTURAL department..
A renewed effort is being made by
members of the Iowa horticultural
society to have the state establish a
department of horticulture. 1t is the
Tlan to have the state take over the
work now being carried on by the so
ciety, extend it and carry it on as
state department. The matter will be
rcUght before the coming session Of
the legislature. 1t is desired to in
iude in the work of the department
the state inspection of nurseries and
the organization Of fruit growers and
vegetable gardeners. In 1872, follow
ing a movement to have the state
take over the work, the legislature
appropriated $4,000 annually to be ap.
Piled to encouraging fruit raising. In
1878 the appropriation was increased
to $4,000. Since 1902 the society has
had only $4,000 year with which 20
pay all it's expenses, including prem
iums awarded at the annual exhibits
