The de partment of agriculture Is pushing tilts desert reclamation with great vigor. No year goes by but that finds some one or two or three varieties of entirely new varieties or species of plants of wonderful drouth resistance. Macaroni wheat will grow with ten inches of rainfall and yield fifteen bushela to the acre where other wheat is an absolute failure. This la two bushels more than the average wheat yield for the United States. There are many other crops with as great possibilities, and which thrive on but slight moisture.' iuclud Ing splendid forage plants. I might mention Kaffir corn, the sorghums, millets, broom grass, as well as new kinds of outs and barleys of wonderful drouth resisting powers, the emmer or spelts and a long line of others.

It la a somewhat singular thing that no men are so skeptical of the reality of these factit as the residents of this region, but our experiment have already proven what the I have said to be actual facts. ories." Dr. Harvey 'Wiley, the agricultural chief chemist, says that the sorghums form h very fine stock feed, and that their cultivation, along with the millets nnd other of the desert crops, where corn is an entire failure. Insures a vast future development for that great section. improved methods of culture and tillage In connection with the planting of these hardy drouth crops will change the face of nature throughout entire states.

In fact, wherever there ia deep loam, but where the rainfall Is only 14 or 15 Inches, can he made to produce heavy crops of grains, while furage plants stud orchards and vegetables can be successfully grown. By subsurface packing of the soil and continual surface cultivation all the meager rainfall Is conserved in the soli for plant use. Professor Caippbell states and has demonstrated that by this method "dry farming" can be carried to the foot of the Rockies," while the semi -- arid farm lands to the east esn be made to produce double crops. All In all. if but a portion of the remarkable work which the department of agriculture is carrying on bears fruit which the men working on It predict. the country will see.

These supply large quantities of cleaned rive to Manila and other provinces. The' rice grown on the lowlands capable of being easily flooded with water is the finest? Aa a result of long years of Internal disturbances and recent devastation by cholera, many of the rice fields and farms have now become overgrown with rank vegetation. Sugar, Hamp, Coffee, Tobacco. "In early daye, before so many colonies had been opened up all over the world, sugar and hemp were the staple Up to products in the Philippines. 1X84 sugar planting paid the capitalist well and many fortunes were made in cane sugnr. Since 1884 the subsidised beet-roeugiir manufacturers on the continent of Euroie have turned out such enormous quantities of this article that now the Industry pa ys only interest on the capital. Fortunately for the islands, the fiber know as Manila hemp seenis to be most the especially profitable, and the the of Philippines, prospect of overproduction Is at the present remote, although competition with other fiber is severe. The finest quality of hemp is produced in the southern Islands. A single province of Lusnn yields an average of 30.000 tons annually. The total hemp shipment for the year previous to the war amounted to 112.000 tons. "Coffee planting was commenced in the lslnnds ubout a hundred yeara ago and It Is claimed that a few of the original plants bore fruit for ninety yeurs. The Industry was almost annihilated some yeara ago by the ravages of a worm in the stem. Tobacco Is grown mainly In northern Luxon.

"Cocoanut plantations pay very well. The nuts are collected every four months. In many provinces they are extensively cultivated for the sole purpose of extracting the oil. Every dwelling, rich or poor, uses a certain amount of oil for lighting. In many sections a lamp is kept burning at night in anticipation of the earthquake. Personally I was rather agreeably disappointed in being shaken up only a few times while The most pronounced In the islands. e, case occurred in a town called south of Manila, one night in the fall of 1889. When the heavy timbers of the celling in the old convent commenced creaking anr groaning, a friend of mine, an officer of a neighboring regiment, woke up long enough to mutter to me, 'This is a great country; they shoot you up all day and shake you up all night.' No apparent damage was done by this earthquake, but the evidences of former destruction were plainly seen In ruined churches and convents throughout the province which my regiment occupied for two years.
