CALIFORNIA TO GROW DATES
Possibility That That State May Be-
come Center of Culture of Fruit
in the World.

Within few years the salton seq
basin, near lndio, CAL, may become
the center Of the worlds date culture,
thanks to the efforts of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture. For nearly twenty
years the bureau of plant industry has
been endeavoring to procure shoots of
the date palms which bear the fruit,
known commercially as the Sadly, or
Wahi, and Sewi varieties. So difficult
was the source Of the splendid fruit
to trace that, up to 1913, only few
shoots had been procurable. At that
time an immense grove of 100000 Of
the palms In the oasis Of Dakhla, Tunis.
was discovered.
Negotiations for the purchase of
specimens having been satisfactorily
concluded, the collection of the shoots
was begun. That it was slow is nc.
counted for by the fact that tree puts
forth only twenty to thirty shoots dur
ing its lifetime. However, the collec-
ton was finally completed and the
work of setting out $500 of the young
trees will be started within the near
future.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

STATESMAN KNEW, ALL EIGHT

during a trip to the Southwest, the
capital of one state. where he was

state.

were invited to it. TO honor the great

side o. him AT the table and the lieu

plates. These cards were very fins.
They cost S25 each. and they bore s.,
their heads the state coat of arms
upon which was engraved a motto IN
Latin.
AS the lawyer sat down he took up
this card and. looking at the motto,
said TO the man at his left. VERY

for the military training but for
the friendships it created, the
muscles it built, the outing it
gave.
And so these same .considera-
tions are likely to govern the
Americans between is an d 50
years who are TO be given the OPP
portunity in August OF this year
TO get some of the same expert
ence at the nine new "platts-
burgs" which are TO me maintain
ed by the war department follow
ing ont the plan OF General Perish
ing. Their purpose, as announc-
ed, is not only to learn "how to
serve his country in peace and
war" but TO get to know some
thing about taking care of the
body, learn habits of self con-
troll. resourcefulness and other
manly traits along with discip-
line. precision, sense of order,
cooperation and team work.
The idea is likely to appeal to
college students specially
though attendance is not confined
to them. But there is lust enough
OF the lark about it as we'll as the
opportunity. to really get some
thing. to make and mingle with
friends. to engage in athletics and
enjoy all the other delights of a
summer vacation amid pals to
make the prospect especially al
Turing to the college boy. So
long as the world remains in its
present unsettled state there will
be need for men who know some
thing Of military training That
is the sober side of the "Platts-
burg" idea. Many an American
came out OF the world war with
the conviction that If there was
to be another scrap and he in it,
he was going to know enough to
warrant shoulder insignia. One
Of the first steps to that ambition
is training at a "Plattsburg."
1t will be strange, indeed, if all
the nine "Plattsburgs" in the
country do not have a waiting
list long before assembly is

A FATEFUL QUESTION

The distributors OF relief in the
famine districts OF China arc
faced by a real problem. an in
tensely practical question. a;
which they may we'll shuddcr in
having to make a decision. All
cannot be saved. That makes Sc
lection imperative. (Which shall
be saved - IS the question the
food distributors have to answer.
Shall food be given to the Young,
and the old. who could not be OF
much further use, be let perish
Decisions on just such problems
are being given in China. 1t
seems heartleSs, inhuman, that
men and women should be CON
demned to die from starvation,
but when there is not enough
grain available TO keep all alive.
it is better that some should be
saved than that the distribution
should be SO Widespread that the
portions are insufficient for any.
The philanthropically inclined
have done much TO lessen the hor-
rors of the famine. Millions
would have starved had not relief
been given. Considering the diff
fculties of transportation. marve-
lous has been the accomplish
ment, but it has not been possible
to reach all who needed help and
the situation is still acute. That
Is the reason it devolveS on SYM
pathetic souls to answer the ques-
ton, "Whom shall we let die ?"
Those in charge of the relief may
well hesitate and seek evasion.
In the meantime, America is do
ing more than her full share to-
wards avoiding the necessity OF
asking the question.

Announcement has Just been

war sufferers in the Near East
and the figure is one OF which al
Americans may we'll be proud
We gave $2S.230,51s, which in
cludes, in addition to cash dona-
tons, flour from the American re-
lief administration and merchan-
disc and medical supplies from
the American Red Cross.
1t is surprising that so large Z
sum was produced. Not many
persons gave until it hurt; their
gifts for the most part were only
what they could spare with.
out much inconvenience at the
time that they were solicited
And they also contributed TO the
relief of the Chinese famine vic.
TINS and other unfortunates. The
amount raised for Near East re-
lief in the United States in 1926
was far greater sum than We
paid France for the Louisiana ter
ritory; it is about four times as
much as we paid Russia for
Alaska; it is more than we paid
Denmark for the Virgin Islands
and more than we propose to pay
Colombia for our acquisitions on
the lsthmus of Panama.
But the $2S,9f0,51i represents
Americans contributions for
Near East relief for only one
year; the total gifts since opera
tons began in October 1915, have
been approximately S60,000,000.
This IS an eloquent testimonial to
Americas big heart and well fill
