The change in sentiment in this

Mr.. and Mrs. j.. w. Aaron, and
baby Florence have arrived home from
California, where they have been
spending the winter with Mrs. Aarons
two sisters. They report having had
a most delightful time among the
orange groves, beautiful flowers, and
fresh vegetables right from the garden
every day. They brought back with
them a trunk full of large navel
oranges picked right from the trees,
grape fruit, and English w~alnuts. IL
is summer there the year around.
People were ploughing and making
garden there all through December,
January, and February. Mr.. Aaron
was,much benefited from rheumatism
while there. But as soon as he reach
ed colder climate, it returned, which
he is suffering from very much
Arlington Sun,
1t is about the time of the year
when the country newspaper an
nounces to the farmer the wonderful
discovery that it about time for him
to begin 10 look after his seed grain
for the spring sowing. We have moth
ing to offer along this line, except
what we have written before. A year
ago we advised our farmer readers tC
SOW more barley than eve before, and
to be more particular as to the quilt
of the seed. Those who took oul
advice have nothing to regret, except
possibly, that they did not act upon
it to a greater extent. Our advice is

liberal crops of oats and barley.
There is not one chance out of fifty
that the price will rule as high as i
did in the fall of 1907 but the prices
for the 1908 crop will be high as com
pared with prices for other products,
and we look to see the barley anC
oat raiser make more money in 1909
than the farmer who confines him
self to other lines. There vii
be very little trouble in securing
good seed barley this spring. The
Equality was first class. However
the heaviest and brightest is none to-
good. Never make the mistake o
thinking that all barley is good
to SOW. Nothing will pay so we'll "a
the best. A word in regard to oats
There is every indication that thi
Twill be one of the best paying crop
) raised in 1908. There will be practi
cally no surplus carried over. As t
the seed, it will be more difficult t.
obtain than barley. Oats Throughout
the northwest were of poorer qualit,
