Gardens In the Ice.

A glacier when 1t dislodges itself and
sails away over the Arctic ocean never
travels alone. In the wake Of every
large one floats line of similar COM
panions. The Eskimos call this phe-
nomenon "the duck and ducklings,"
and any one who has watched the
progress of the wild duck followed by
her brood will appreciate the aptitude
of the name. Strange as 1t may seem,
plants grow and blossom upon these
great ice mountains When a glacier
is at rest moss attaches itself to 1t,
protecting the ice beneath. just as
sawdust does. After a time the moss
decays and forms a soil. In which the
seeds of buttercups and dandelions,
brought by the wind. take root and
flourish

SUMMER FALLow UNNECESSARY.
Rotation Shows Larger Returns and
Conserves Soil Fertility.

1t has been shown by series of tests
covering a period of several years that
the summer fallow practice that has
prevailed so long here, is unnecessary
and wasteful, according to Professor
George Severance of the Washington
State College, who spoke at the Cham
Der of Commerce meeting today.
"This district is primarily a grain
growing country said Mr.. Severance,
"and that fact should be recognized.
Diversified farming can be practiced
here, not to the extent that it can be
in many places, but at least to such an
extent that summer following of land is
unnecessary. Rainfall is sufficient
to grow a crop every year, and with
leguminous crops to enrich the soil, and
cultivated crops to enable farmer to
keep his fields clean, used in rotation
with grain crops, all the land can be in
use all of the time. TO the extent to
which idle lands, varying from one
third to one-half the total, can be kept
at work, the country can support a
greater population.
1t has been shown by tests made at
Pullman that land can be cropped eve
ry year, and that by discing after har-
vest, spreading manure and blowing it
under in the fall, and narrowing in the
spring nearly twice as much grain can
be raised in a period of years, as Is
generally yielded by land summer fol
lowed every other year and not manur-
ed
Rotations that have included corn,
oats, peas, wheat and clover have shown
40 bushels of peas, rs bushels of oats,
90 ton of alfalfa, 3.6 tons of clover and
6 tons of corn when not summered fol
lowed at all. When crop rotation is
practiced it is necessary to keep suf-
ficient stock to eat the forage crops,
and the practice is beneficial in main
favors the gradual introduction of other
crops to supplement the grain crops,
and the gradual abandonment of the
practice of summer following, in order
that no heavy losses may come of
plunging into new ventures on a large
scale before some experience has been
gaind by the farmers.-Moscow Star

a profitable side line with orchard care.
AS Oregon has 200 carloads of eggs and
large quantities of poultry shipped in an

poultry and egg industry extensively
especially If you can produce your W
grain and feed.
Specialized Fruit Growing.
Fruit growing is the leading industry
and Rogue River Valley fruit is known
around the world. Sixty-five thousand
acres are now planted to orchard. In the
year 1913 the total output of apples and
pears was 1850 cars, and the net returns
reached well above 1000, 200. New Or
chards are 80 per cent pears and the diff
ferent varieties have been siftel down to
seven varieties-Bartlett, How LII, ANTON,
Cornice, Bose, Winter Nelis, which are
here arranged in the order In which they
ripen. OF the pears one-fourth are Bart
let's, one-half Bose and Anjou, and the
remainder about equally divided between
Cornice, Nelis and Howells.
The two commercial varieties OF apples
are the Newtown and Spitzenberg. The
Newtown, the favorite, Notwithstanding

prize at the Spokane National Apple Show
in 1909, In competition with all apple
growing districts OF the Northwest. A
carload Of Newtown apples was awarded
first prize at the Canadian Apple Show In
1910.
County Orchard Protection.
A horticultural expert Is retained by the
county and a perfect orchard protection
is maintained. Deputies devote their time
to inspecting orchards and products, and
all diseases are attended to. They are
aided by a large force of volunteers, scat
tered through the Valley, who report to
the supervisors. This activity has abso-
lutely controlled the pear blight.
Frost Protection.
Another phase of orchard work is frost
protection during the poisoning period.
On the slopes and foothills, where air cir
culation is good, killing frosts are un-
known, but in some parts of the Valley
floor orchard heating or "smudging''
has been found efficient. A system Of
frost warnings are worked out and Or
chards are equipped with apparatus for
hasty lighting, as the danger temperature
approaches between midnight and day

Unmaking a Republic
arlton Bates strayer. in Leslie's.


 Republics are not born in a day On February F, 1912 the 6-year-old Emperor Of China, representative of a dynasty running back 26S years, abdicated, and China became republic. China is now voting upon the question of returning to monarchial form of government with every indication that the change will take place. Japan, supported by Great Britain, Russia and France, presented a mote verbale' to China suggesting that in view of the struggle now gaing on in Europe, and the fact that there is oppo- sition to the change it would be best to postpone decision of the issue, since further international disturbances would be against the welfare of China and of the rest of the world. Washington has not expressed itself officially. The fact that President Yuan Shih-Kai was elected for 10 years, and that he has affairs well in hand, would argue against the change as ill timed. China's reply to Japan is that there need be no fear of internal dis order or disturbance of the peace in the east should a monarchy be established, and that the decision was now in the hands of the people. The suggestion is made by the diplomatic representatives of the allies in Picking that Germany has fostered the monarchial movement on the theory that the disorders which would follow would require Japan's interven- ton and shut off her supply of arms and munitions to Russia. Religious tradition has unquestionably had it's influence for a return to a monarcry. For centuries it had been the custom of the Chinese Emperor to repair annually to a special temple in Peking and offer prayers to the three gods of Heaven. Agriculture and Mining to prosper Chinese hus- bandry and business. The Chinese had great faith in the efficacy of these pray CTS, and the coolie element is not able te see how a mere President can have any influence with the gods.
