The adobe or sticky" soil. as IL IS
commonly called, found IN several sec
tons of the west. while very rich and

dificult to handle and must be plowed
at Just the right time-a few days fol
lowing a rain. when the stacking"
has advanced 10 the proper stage-to
secure results that are at all satisfac-
tory. Rather oddly, though. while
continued hot and dry weather tends
to form hard crust a few inches be-
meath the surface. there seems to be
no other soil which retains its subsOil
moisture more completely or on which
fruit trees will stand more protracted
drought. When one buys sticky"

have a solid macadam road leading TO
his place, If he is 10 reach il during
the wet season, or 90 lay in a sufficient
stock OF supplies and provisions so
that he will not have TO leave his
place for two or three months at a
time. The only pointer that the pro-
spective buyer Of a "sticky" ranch
needs is that he should be thoroughly
acquainted with the ant,cs of the soil
during the rainy season, so that he
will not be taken by surprise when the
sticky time comes.

All through the northern states the
snow lies deep in many sections. This
means that the orchards are in espe-
cial danger Of injury from rabbits
whose other food supplies are made
inaccessible by the heavy blanket Of
snow. And as the winter advances
the hunger OF these ever present pests
increases, making the likelihood OF
damage by them the greater. II the
trees have not been protected and the
rabbits have begun their work OF de-
struction, radical measures should be
adopted. These should include wrap
ping Of the trunks of all young trees
as far up as the branches with old
newspapers. the smearing of wounds
already made with a strong resin soap,
the use OF traps. dogs, ferrets and guns

the runways of pieces OF apples on
which powdered arsenic has been
placed. OF course such poisoned bats
should be covered with brush in case

inspected at frequent intervals so thai
the rabbits will not have made serious
havoc before their depredations ar'
discovered.

In view Of the dispute between Chile and

matte relations between the two countries
and tho excitment in Peru and Ecuador
over the pending award OF the King OF
Spain In another boundary dispute. the
situation is regarded as very disquieting
Chile's action is interpreted as am at
tempt TO force its issue with Peru BY
instigating hostilities on the part OF
Ecuador. The situation on the west coast
of South America Is now such that it is
believed that any show of force would
plunge the entire region into general
war
The immediate cause OF the breaking on
Of diplomatic relations by Peru was the
