Climate and Agriculture.

The surprising idea that an arid
climate is the most favorable for ag7
riculture is explained by report on
the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project
in the state Of Washington. In such
climate plant growth is stimulated by
almost continuous sunshine, there is
no night chilling of the soil following
cloudy days, and crops are harvested
promptly without spoilage by rain. the
products being greatly improved and
the harvesting cost lessened. The
chief advantage Of all, however, is
control Of the water, which by arti-
fetal irrigation can be supplied Mt the
best time and in the quantities needed
by the crops. The scant rainfall Of
the Columbia basin area has been a
preparation for the new method. for
the moisture has not been sufficient to
leach away the stored plantfood, but
there has been drainage enough to
prevent the Accumulation Of alkali
salts. the most soluble Of the earth's
constituents. q:

 The New York idea is, we learn. to marry for whim and divorce for the same reason; in other words, divorce in haste and repent at leisure. As the capricious heroine, Cynthia Kars- lake, Miss Brady has something near CT a. comedy role than her previous Realart pictures have afforded her, though she brings her well-known emotional ability into play more than once. Throughout the picture she wears sumptuous clothes, 6s do the other women of the cast, as well as several hundred extras who are used for ballroom. wedding and race track scenes. Aside from the plot the film would have interested merely as a picture of New York society.
 Belmont Park race track on Long Island, The Piping Rock Hunt Club and other favorite haunts or the idle rich are used as backgrounds for the unfolding of the story, which abounds in divorCes which may be said to make it an accurate picture or smart society. Lowell Sherman, long a Broadway favorite in stage plays. aad the last few years a familiar face in pictures, plays opposite Miss Brady, the role of her first and final choice as husband. But before she comes to her final decision she betrotns ner- self 10 another man, played by George Howell. a newcomer to filmdOm. but no novice in acting.
