cause it is required that each recipient OF
cuttings shall make a report of the treat
ment given and the results obtained
Several select varieties are included in
each set that is distributed, and the aim
is to secure information as to the best
variety for each locality, since no one
kind can be relied upon to yield maxi
mum results over wide range of ter
ritory.
In the basket willow Investigations
carried on at the Arlington Farm, Ar
lington, Va, and at Ames, Iowa, by the
Forest Service, particular attention has
been given to the development OF Ameri-
can species for basket making purposes.
The European species now commonly
used have never proved themselves en-
tirely adapted to American conditions and
as rule are less thrifty than the native
species. At present there is at Airing
ton a willow garden containing nearly
500 lots gathered from all parts of the
country and representing practically
every species and variety found in the
United States and Canada.
A system of selection which has been
carried on or several years is already
indicating which strains show the best
basket willow characteristics for Ameri-
can conditions.

Escort For the Holy CARPET.

As is well known to Mohammedans
but TO few Europeans, the Holy Car
pet always travels with an escort to
and from the holy cities of Medina and
Mecca. This escort consists of 300 70
$50 men of one OF the Egyptian infan-
try regiments. with two small fed
pieces and two quick firing guns. and
about forty mounted men, together
with their horses. The object Of such
a strong escort is TO protect the sacred
object from falling into the hands OF
the Bedouin tribes. through whose
countries IL must pass at various stages
Of its journey and who are also on the
lookout for IL. as the carpet Is worth a
fine ransom. Desperate attacks are
not infrequently made upon the Holy

Paris, Feb. lS.-The Inauguration OF
