bert Jeremiah Beveridge was un-
precedented in the annals of the
Senate. Mr.. Beveridge is too
eloquent and fluent a speaker. If
he would think more before he
talks, he would utter fewer rash
statements. In the hands of lingo
japanese newspapermen-a n 4

Egyptian Cotton a Success.

A remarkable innovation in
some Of the present methods of
farming in the hot valleys of our
far Southwest is promised if the
results of the recent experiment
tai work of the Department of
Agriculture are to be accepted
as criterion. For several years
this department has conducted a
series of experiments IN the vi
cinity of Yuma, Ariz., with a
number of types of cotton, and
this region has proven well
adapted to the Egyptian varie-
ties. One variety of this type
last year yielded 900 pounds of
lint to the acre, or practically
equivalent to two bales of the
American standard. Samples of
this cotton were submitted to
buyers and manufacturers of
Egyptian cotton, and by each
were classed as equal to the best
Egyptian grades, aud on the
basis of the 1907 market were
worth from % to % cents per
pound. The Importance of this
experimental work of the gov
ernment will be appreciated
when it is remembered that our
average annual imports of cotton
for the last ten years amounted
to 100000 pounds.
The experiments at Yuma
show that acclimatization is nee
cessary for success with Egyptian
cotton in the Southwest. The
first seed introduced there did
not produce proitably, while the
same variety after several years
selection and acclimatization has
become adapted to local con-
ditions and has given excellent
yields. While this fact may in a
measure retard the rapid devel-
opment of cotton growing, it
will at the same time safeguard
the future of this industry.
1t is said that the Indians are
evincing great interest in the ex-
periments in cotton growing. |
With the introduction of cotton |
as staple product the Indians
would doubtless prove valuable
aid in furnishing efficient and |
cheap labor in cultivation and |
picking. /
The reclamation service is
completing stupendous irriga-
ton work in the Colorado delta
around Yuma, involving the ex-
penditure of several millions of
dollars. The introduction of an
exceedingly profitable crop like
Egyptian cotton will go far
coward guaranteeing the return
)f the government investment,
ls we'll as insurlng the prosper
ty of the new settlers who are
taking up homes on the
and to be watered. d.-Orange
Judd Farmer.

Beauty Forever.


One of the loveliest of our trees Is
the white birch, with its graceful foil.
age and cleaning trunk. and yet how
often it is robbed of half its beauty
by careless hands!
The temptation to take Off strip after
strip of its easily peeled bark seems
well nigh irresistible if one may judge
by the countless forlorn trunks aloNg
our roadsides. Instead of silyery white
columns standing out with conspicurNs
grace from the green of neighhorin.;
shrubs and trees. the trunks art
married by great black circles, the re
cults of wounds inflicted by wanton
passersby.
Too often this is done merely for the
fun of seeing how easily the bark can
be pulled off. and no thought is given
TO the feelings of the owner when he
finds that one of his finest trees, in
which he took great pride, has been
robbed forever of its beauty.
The next time you are tempted to cut
off birch bark, stop. Think of the in.
jury to the tree and the injury to all
who shall pass that way after you
in depriving them of something they
might have enjoyed but for you-the
sight of that tree in all Its beauty. Re
member that the bark never grows
again.
If you have in mind the making of
some article for which birch bark is
an absolute O. necessity. can you not
at least take it from some fallen log or
from some tree well hidden in the CEN
ter of the woods, removing only the
outer layers, and those in such way
that the tree viii suffer as little an
possible? BY doing this you will earn
the gratitude of all wayfarers and land.
