UTAH MEN WILL SHOW US Will Try to Make Best Exhibit at Los Angeles Show Los Angeles, March 7. Editor Gazette.—A special dispatch to this city from Salt Lake City, Utah, says: "With March 23d set as Utah day at the Pacific land and products exposition in Los Angeles, Utah is preparing for a big showing. "Arrangements have been made by Governor William Spry and other state officials, to go to the scene in a body and hold a big jubilee at the Utah exhibit. A program of music and speeches will be featured, along with free samples of Utah's apples, which will be sent to the coast under the direction of the Utah horticultural society. "The governor and his party will make a lengthy stay in Los Angeles in an effort to advertise the resources of this state. Arrangements have been made for giving away on Utah day of a twenty-acre farm, with water rights. This will be done by the Salt Lake railway, which is assisting the state in the preparing of the big celebration. "On Utah day, besides the fruit samples, there will be about 15,000 special souvenir booklets distributed to persons attending the Utah exhibit. At the exposition Utah will attempt to have the best display of any of the western states. Under the direction of J. Edward Taylor, state horticultural commissioner, a large amount of attractive farm products will be shown. Among other things will be samples of wheat that was grown on the desert. In a case will be shown a sample of the Utah wheat with roots over seven feet of them in making their selections. Los Angeles railroad officials continue to receive information to the effect that the coast-bound passenger-travel the coming colonist season is to be the heaviest in the history of the transcontinental lines. Inquiries at all the eastern offices of companies indicate that many of the colonists will come to the coast in parties. Seventy per cent of these will make Los Angeles the gateway to the Pacific coast and the majority of this 70 per cent will visit the land show and take side trips into the surrounding country. The Catalina Island exhibit at the show will be one of the most attractive exhibits on the floor. It will be of particular interest to the disciples of Izaak Walton. There will be displays of fishing apparatus of all kinds, from the tackle used in capturing the game tuna to the delicate implements that all experts and seekers of buttons affect. Specimens of the fish that have made the waters of Catalina famous the world over will also be shown. A floral exhibit will be a feature. Plants so rare that fortunes are demanded for them will be on view. These will come from the private conservatories of millionaires, who have made the collecting of the rare plants a hobby. Fresh blooms by the thousands will be provided daily. It is planned to make the floral exhibit the finest ever placed on public view on the Pacific coast. Reduced railroad rates will afford lovers of flowers the opportunity to see the display at a nominal cost.

Edward Taylor, state horticultural commissioner, a large amount of attractive farm products will be shown. Among other things will be samples of wheat that was grown on the desert. In a case will be shown a sample of the Utah wheat with roots over seven feet long. The exhibit will be mostly of grains and horticultural and dairy products. The state food and dairy department will have a display. The state chemist will also make a showing. "The Salt Lake commercial club has appropriated $5000 for literature to be distributed during the exhibition showing the advantages of Utah especially in dry farm land on the desert areas where the government grants the homesteader 320 acres of land and does not require residence. All arrangements for Utah day are not complete. The outlook indicates that it will be one of the biggest days of the exposition." An orange packing plant in operation will please visitors to the show. The plant now is in operation in Riverside county and will be brought to this city in sections and set up in Shrine coliseum, where the great exposition is to be held. Twenty young women will receive visitors while the plant is in operation, answer questions and distribute literature bearing on the subject of orange culture.Every process, from the time the fruit is received from the trees until it is ready for the shipping car, will be shown. The fact that Theodore Roosevelt will be in Los Angeles during the exposition is being seized upon by the officials of the show as an opportunity to invite the former president of the United States to attend the exposition and while there to make a short address on the topic "Back to the Land." To Roosevelt is due the credit of the movement of the land-hungry people that now is sweeping the country and which is responsible for the holding of land shows. It is understood that he will consent to the plans of the committee if they do not interfere with his speaking program in the Southland. Southern California is noted for its many beautiful towns.

FARM VALUES IN MONTANA Interesting Statistics Issued by the Census Bureau The total value of all farm land in Montana, as reported by a bulletin just issued by the census bureau, is $225,819,000, as compared with $45,-686,000 in 1900, a gain of $180,133,000 or 394 per cent. The total value of all farm buildings alone was given in 1910 as $24,-666,000, as against $9,340,000 in 1900, an increase of $15,326,000, or 164 per cent. In 1910 the value of the farm land alone constituted 90 per cent of the total value of land and buildings, as compared with 83 per cent in 1900. The reported value of farm implements and machinery was $10,522,000 in 1910, as against $3,672,000 in 1900, a gain of $6,850,000, or 187 per cent. The total acreage reported in 1910 was 13,499,000 acres, as compared, in 1900, with 8,344,000, an increase of 5,155,000 acres, or 62 per cent. The improved acreage was returned in 1910 as amounting to 3,631,000 acres, as against 1,726,000 in 1900, an increase of 1,905,000 acres, or 110 per cent. The improved acreage formed 27 per cent of the total acreage in 1910 and 21 per cent in 1900. The average acres per farm reported in 1910 was 520, as against 624 in 1900, a decrease of 104 acres or 17 per cent. The average value per acre of farm land and buildings in 1910 is reported as $18.56, as against $6.59 in 1900, a rise of $11.97, or 182 percent. The average value per acre of farm land alone in 1910 was reported as $16.73, while in 1900 it was $5.48, the amount of gain being $11.-25, or 250 per cent. Of the whole number, 25,946, of farms reported in 1910 there were 24,752 operated by white farmers and 1194 by colored, as compared with a total of 13,370 in 1900, of which 13,-042 were conducted by white farmers and 328 by colored. The increase in the number of farms of white farmers during the decade amounted to 11,710, and in the number of farms of colored farmers to 866.

Some are located in the foothills, others in the heart of broad and fertile valleys while not a few are perched on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific ocean. These beauty spots will be exploited at the land show on March 18-April 2, by a display under the auspices of the Pacific Electric railway, whose interurban system is the greatest in the world. Thirty-three towns will be represented and the resources of each will be given prominence. The cost of the display will reach into the thousands of dollars and it is expected to be the most attractive feature of the big show. It will be of particular interest to the homeseeker. Almost at a glance he will be enabled to see and understand the advantages each has to offer. The fact that the doors of the exposition have been thrown open to the coast and Rocky Mountain states and the west coast of Mexico, has been the cause of many complimentary notices in the press of the sections it is the object to advertise. When the exposition is under way there will be more than 100,000 tourists and colonists in Southern California. It is expected that they will visit the land show. In that way the resources of all the states will be brought to the attention of home-seekers who have money to invest in properties that appeal to them. Lectures by land experts will aid all Of the whole number, 25,946, of farms reported in 1910 there were 24,752 operated by white farmers and 1194 by colored, as compared with a total of 13,370 in 1900, of which 13,042 were conducted by white farmers and 328 by colored. The increase in the number of farms of white farmers during the decade amounted to 11,710, and in the number of farms of colored farmers to 866. The total number of farms operated in 1910 by owners, part owners, and owners and tenants, comprising the "all owners" class, was 23,125, as compared with 11,661 in 1900, an increase of 11,464. The total number of farms conducted in 1910 by cash tenants, share tenants, and cash and share tenants, comprising the "all tenants" class, was 2323, as against 1230 in 1900, an increase of 1093. The total number of farms operated by managers in 1910 was 498, as compared with 479 in 1900, an increase of 19. The total number of farms operated by the "all owners" class constituted 89 per cent of the whole number of farms in 1910, and 87 per cent in 1900; those operated by the "all tenants" class, 9 per cent in both 1910 and 1900; and those conducted by managers, 2 per cent in 1910 and 4 per cent in 1900. In 1900 information was secured concerning the "owned farm homes." At that time 1608 or 13 per cent were reported as mortgaged, while 10,356, or 87 per cent, were free from debt. There were 498 in 1900 for which no mortgage report was secured, which were included in the farms free of debt. I have six men work at the premises will cover the town as possible.

Not only is a war of extermination being waged by the department against the white fly, but against all kinds of scales and other insect-pests affecting the peach, the pear, the apple, the plum and other fruits. In discussing the great activity of the department of agriculture in fighting these insect pests Judge Kone said: Last winter the agents of the department spent a great deal of time aiding the fruit growers in their efforts to destroy the fruit-tree enemies infesting their orchards, but I have enlarged the number of orchard assistants this year, because of the peculiar conditions existing. The freeze of January 2 and 3 exposed the white fly to much easier attack because of the defoliation of all citrus fruit trees, confining these insects almost exclusively to their other host of plants, principally the cape jessamine. The white fly has a peculiar career from egg to adult. The larva of the white fly changes its form four times before it reaches the pupal stage. During all these stages of growth the larva are all but motionless and practically remain fixed on the leaf where it fixes itself when it first emerges from the egg. The female fly always deposits her egg on the body or the limbs of the tree. One female deposits from fifteen to twenty-five eggs. These eggs hatch within five to twenty days after they are laid, being governed altogether by the conditions of the show just what is being accomplished by them. I will keep these men in the field just as long as it is necessary to accomplish what I started out to do. It may be interesting to know that when the white fly appeared in California a few years ago there was no appropriation available to the inspector to exterminate it. The citrus growers association of that state advanced the money to completely destroy it in that state. It cost nearly $100,000, but the money was well spent, as it protected an industry easily worth that many million dollars. The state legislature at its first session appropriated the money to repay the growers. BATHTUBS OF THE TROPICS Made of Stone or Cement, a Luxury in a Hot Climate "Unless you have been in the tropics," remarked the man who had just returned from a trip south, the New York Sun says, "you can't possibly realize how great a luxury a cold bath can be. It's not that the climate is necessarily warmer than a New York summer, but the natives have worked out the problem of bathing to its ultimate conclusions. They have invented the ideal tub." "On the great private estates in Mexico baths are in use today which were hewn out of the solid rock centuries ago by slave labor. They were located, for the most part, in the vicinity of running water, and are fed by bamboo pipes; but in many cases they have to be filled by the old-fashioned method of carrying a bucket to and from the spring. In the cities the so-called stone-baths are made of cement. The residences of all well to do people are provided with them and they are a changes its form four times before it reaches the pupal stage. During all these stages of growth the larva are all but motionless and practically remain fixed on the leaf where it fixes itself when it first emerges from the egg. The female fly always deposits her egg on the body or the limbs of the tree. One female deposits from fifteen to twenty-five eggs. These eggs hatch within five to twenty days after they are laid, being governed altogether by the conditions of the weather. When the egg first hatches the insect is known as the larva. This larva crawls about for a few hours only and attaches itself to the under side of the leaf. In warm weather this larva will develop into a pupa within about 20 days. During cold weather a month or more elapses before the larva attains the pupa stage. It is from this pupa stage that the adult issues. It may issue within ten days, and then it may require a month. Hence during cold weather it may require three or four months from egg to adult. If the weather is unfavorable, the insect may pass the whole winter as pupa. It is in the pupa stage now, and it is this form the department is attacking, the efforts being to destroy the pupa before it emerges as an adult. A great many growers not familiar with the life history of the white fly are assuming that the cold of early January destroyed it altogether. In this they are entirely wrong. There are millions of pupa that escaped the freeze, and unless destroyed will emerge in March and April as adults, and begin their cycle again and re-infest the premises and endanger the citrus industry. The campaign that I am directing is largely one of education, as it is impossible for me to put a sufficient force of men in the field to do the work that will be required to completely eradicate the pest. The appropriation for the purpose of protecting the orchard interests of the state is entirely inadequate to meet the emergencies that arise. I have six men in the field at work at the present time, and they will cover the territory as completely as possible. The expenses to maintain these men will be met by the department, and I feel that this money is well spent. The work is being done with as much dispatch as possible, and I am proud to be able to say that the workers in the field are receiving the cooperation of the citizens whom I am trying to serve. Mexico baths are in use today which were hewn out of the solid rock centuries ago by slave labor. They were located, for the most part, in the vicinity of running water, and are fed by bamboo pipes; but in many cases they have to be filled by the old-fashioned method of carrying a bucket to and from the spring. "In the cities the so-called stone-baths are made of cement. The residences of all well to do people are provided with them and they are a feature of the native hotels. They are usually about 10 feet long by 4 deep, baby swimming tanks, in fact. "The tropical custom is to fill the baths late at night. By the following morning the water will have acquired a limpid coolness that acts like a tonic upon the body. When one remembers that near the equator it is almost as warm in the morning as it is at noon, and that water taken direct from the city mains is always tepid, the advantage of the stone or cement bath is evident." AN OCEAN SKYSCRAPER Europa to Communicate by Wireless Directly to Shore from Ocean Wireless messages direct to and from any part of the Atlantic ocean—such is the new development promised on the completion of leviathan ships now in course of construction. At present wireless communication from ship to shore is restricted by distance. The Hamburg-American liner Europa, which is now being built, will probably be the first ship to communicate direct to the shore stations from any part of the Atlantic. Its masts will be unusually high, and it will carry the most powerful wireless apparatus ever installed on a seagoing vessel. Why is it that high masts are necessary in order to maintain communication over very long distances? The answer was given by a well known wireless expert. "It is not," he said, "as some people imagine, because of the curvature of the earth, but because the higher the masts are the stronger are the electric waves. "A big sea wave will travel much farther than a small one before it breaks up and dies out; it is the same with wireless waves. Roughly speaking, a wireless wave sent out into space is four and a-half times as long as the aerial wire, so with higher masts, and, in the case of Europe, the great distance..." I have six men in the field at work at the present time, and they will cover the territory as completely as possible. The expenses to maintain these men will be met by the department, and I feel that this money is well spent. The work is being done with as much dispatch as possible, and I am proud to be able to say that the workers in the field are receiving the cooperation of the citizens whom I am trying to serve. In many instances it has not been necessary for them to enter the premises and destroy the growing plants, nor has it been necessary to file but few notices declaring the growing plants a nuisance, as provided by law. The men in the field have been selected with special reference to their familiarity with the work required to be done. They are as follows: Dr. E. P. Stiles of Brownsville, an entomologist and plant pathologist of a splendid ability; L. R. Dorland of Galveston county, a graduate of the Michigan agricultural college, and a practical orchardist; G. A. Dickson of Tyler, a practical horticulturist with many years experience in fighting insect pests; E. M. Vertrees of Brownsville, a practical trucker of the Rio Grande Valley, who has had years of experience in fighting insect pests; L. F. Lawson of Austin, formerly state florist, and who thoroughly understands remedies for the extermination of insect pests, and L. V. Touchy of Houston, who has spent twenty years in Florida and Louisiana orange groves. He is familiar with all insect enemies of fruit trees. These men are working directly under the supervision of the chief inspector of orchards and nurseries, Sam H. Dixon, of Houston, whose daily reports to me "It is not, he said, as some people imagine, because of the curvature of the earth, but because the higher the masts are the stronger are the electric waves. "A big sea wave will travel much farther than a small one before it breaks up and dies out; it is the same with wireless waves. "Roughly speaking, a wireless wave sent out into space is four and a-half times as long as the aerial wire, so with higher masts, and, in the case of the Europa, the great distance they will be apart, you get longer aerials, which enable you to start off with a tremendous wave and to continue sending these powerful waves one after another through the air." "Thus a vessel so equipped will be able to send messages direct from any part of the Atlantic to any of the powerful receiving stations in Europe and America. "It will also be able to receive the messages from those stations." The Europa will be 900 feet long, 96 feet broad and will have no fewer than nine decks above the water line—a veritable skyscraper afloat. THE HUSBAND'S PRIVILEGE Simon Ford, the famous raconteur, was speaking on matrimony at a dinner in New York. "Matrimony should mean politeness, but does it? "We all remember the man who was rebuked by a policeman for swearing at a woman. "'Why,' the man retorted, angrily and reproachfully, 'she's my wife.'" "And the policeman with a confused apology hurried on. Take your watch and jewelry repairing to Theo. Roberts. He does only first-class work." SS, M.
