The foreign exploration work Is one OF
the most interesting and valuable fea-
lures in the development of the Agricul-
tural Department at Washington. 1t is
under the general charge of Dr. Beverly
I. Galloway chief of the bureau of plant
industry, who made a trip through Asiatic
countries in 1910 in the interest of the eX-
ploration service.
The work has been developed, however,
directly under the hand of David Fair
child. agricultural explorer in charge,
as he is officially known. The office of
foreign plant and seed introduction has
been the agency for bringing into the
United States scores Of new farm, garden
and orchard products of immense value
TO the nation.
Mr.. Fairchild made several exploration
trips through Europe, Asia and Africa,
ana has been In constant touch for over a
dozen years with agricultural re-
search stations and departments In all
parts of the world. Missionaries in Asia
and Africa, American consuls in these
lands and in South America and the
South Sea Islands and foreign plant
breeders and agricultural officers are
sending thousands of new things to Wash
ington each year for the benefit of Amer
lean agriculture.

The islands of Mindanao and Jolo, in
which all this fighting is going on, are
among the most isolated of Uncle Sans
Philippine possessions They are practi-
caly lost among the south seas and out
of any regular route of travel. Aside from
the military there are few men who ever
reach this Sulu archipelago. and the men
of the army are uncommunicative, so the
things that happen in this part Of the
world are little known. 1t is because Of
this isolation that the fact has just reach
ed America of a spectacular battle that
vas fought Christmas day. 1t is because
of this fact that the realization that a
war has been on for three months in the
land of that light opera sovereign, the
Sultan of Sulu, is just becoming known
Bud Dajo is high mountain on the
Island of Jolo. This mountain was once
a volcano, but modern times have not
known of any activity on its part Erod-
ing rains have filled its crater with pro-
ductive soil that lends itself to agricul-
ture, and the rim of that crater provides
a fortress such as has never been built by
man. For 1000 feet the mountain sides
rise so precipitously as to make an adj
vance up them also impossible. Prac-
tically impenetrable jungles have ac-
centuated the difficulty of ascent

in large quantities Of high grade wheat
being manufactured into feed products.
This turn in affairs has advanced the
price of wheat by bounds during the
past few weeks, statement being made
by buyers that the present offerings
are far in advance Of the quotations for
exporting or milling purposes.
Stockmen report a scarcity of hogs
and cattle throughout the northwest
ann grain buyers predict that fewer
cattle and hogs will be fattened until
the new crop is on the market and the
present feed condition is relieved.
The condition throughout the northwest
is attributed to the high price for barley
and oats early in the season which re-
suited in these crops being shipped out
of the country while the bulk of the
wheat crop was marketed before the
first of the year.
In the northwest sections the $40 per
ton feed has resulted in an unusual de-
mand for poultry foods and this depart
ment Of the Lewiston milling company
has enjoyed an exceptionally heavy
business from the time the product was
first placed on the market.

Will Exchange School La nds.

The following record shows the pro-
visions under which the proposed trade
in lands between the government and
the state will be conducted. This is a
vital matter with Idaho and the people
are pleased with its happy adjustment.
U. S. Department Of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C.-To provide for
carrying out an agreement under which
South Dakota school lands will be ex-
changed for national forest land of
equal area and value, President Taft
has signed proclamation which makes
it possible for the state to select i'm
mediately 60, 143 acres Of land from the
Harvey and Sioux national forests.
This will permit of indemnity selec-
ton by the state in place Of school
lands, lying along and within the
boundaries of the Black Hills national
forest, which will become part Of the
forest. A board Of three, on which
Supervisor Paul Kelleter of the Black
Hills national forest has represented
the department of Agriculture and F.
F. Brinker, commissioner of the de-
partment of school and public lands of
the state of South Dakota, has repre-
scented the state, with Seth Bullock as
the third member, has made a careful
study to learn the value both Of the
school lands and of the areas now re-
linquished by the government. Field
parties have gathered data for every
section involved, with the result that
the lieu areas are known to be fair
exchange for the school lands to which
the state relinquishes its claim.
) This exchange is the first fruit OF a
plan inaugurated by the forest service
several years ago, and laid before the
governors Of various western states,
with view to settling the vexed ques-
ton OF school lands within national
forests. An agreement similar to that
with the state of South Dakota has been
entered into with Idaho, and negotia-
tons with other states are pending.
The consolidation of areas into compact
bodies will enable both the states and
the forest service to manage their re-
spective holdings more advantageously
than would otherwise be possible, and
will enable the state to obtain better
results for The benefit Of its schools.
Under the terms OF the proclamation
all selections by the state OF South Da-
kota must be filed within ninety days
from the date of the proclamation or
from the approval of the Official plat OF
survey OF any unsurveyed land covered
by tn agreement.

A NEW HOMEMADE GAME
"Hand- Out" Is the Name of Simple
 Diversion Anyone Can Play.

This is a game the equipment for which can be made in few min utes. and at little or no expense, by the young people of any family, and vet is capable of affording many an evening of hilarious fun.
 All that you need is a sheet ot bristol board, a ruler, pencil and few old magazines. From the bristol board cut thirty-siX cards two inches wide and four inches long. Set aside eighteen of them to be used blank but on the remaining eighteen paste pictures-cut from the advertising pages of the magazines-of different things to eat. You will find adver- tlsements of breakfast foods, soups, pickles. cake, coffee, chOcolate-more than enough, probably, to illustrate one set of cards. If you wish, you can also include things to wear boots. stockings, coats and other ar ticles of apparel. Make list Of all the pictures on the cards and keep it on the table when you play
 The game is best played with six persons. If there are five or SeNeh' remove one blank card rom the pack. so that the deal will come out even.
 Shuffle the cards and deal them face down. Each hand will be made LID partly of blank cards and partly of nicture cards. The object of the game is to get a complete hand of pictures-as many of them as there were cards dealt to each player Tn the beginning.
 Each one, playing in turn, asks the player on his left for some particular ricture card. It adds to the fun if the requests are made in a facetious manner For example,
