"But," he continues, "the more nearly we succeed in eliminating politics ' from our state educational in stitutions the better It IS for the school and Us students. '. . . "I- also believe that the educational Institutions . of everv irrigation state should give more attention not only to the science of irrigation, but to the even greater seence of dry farming. .- "lrst or all. for tne Deneric or irri gation .-countries, students should be taught how to handle the land, so that it will get neither too mum nor iw little water, nor in the wrong way. "But it Is. conceded now . that many rich areas will never receive water be cause of lack of aunnlv. It Is said that dry farming Is not possible where, the rainiall is less tnan in incnes annuaiiy.

Wood. lawyer, artist, writer and student of nature, thought that fine fungus he kicked over In his yard was a truffle. It was not, and Mr, Wood Is still suffering from, the deadly effects, while his daughter Lisa' has just recovered from ' the. effects, of. her implicit faith In her father's knowledge of mushrooms. For a time Mr. Wood's life was in danger from the action of the vegetable poison, while Miss Wood was very - ilL it an nappenea last Saturday - after; noon. .Mr. Wood, enjoying the verdure of his yard, kicked over a bug puff ball and instantly began to study iC - "It looks like - a Euopean - truffle," he mused.' "It has the-fine flesh-and rotundity of that delicacy. . I like truf fles. I am convinced, that this Is a truffle. I shall try it? 8o Mr. Wood took his find into the house and got a knife wherewith to slice it. On cutting through the fungus he was. more than Dleased to find that it. looked like a truffle inside. So he cut off a slice about the size of a gentleman's-vlsitlnsr card and-ate it alow. ly and with gusto. It tasted; fine. , -mis is really splendid," said Mr, Wood to himself. "I wonder what Mrs. Wood is going to have for dinner? I believe this would garnish meat excel lently." Mr. Wood investigated and discovered a roast In the oven.- - "Now, I will , surprise .. Mrs.. Wood," . he re joiced.

Mr. Wood explained - that they were European truffles. "But .lt might be poisonous,'' said Mrs. Wood . Here Mr. Wood hauled out his know! edge of mushrooms and proved that of all varieties of fungus so per cent were entirely harmless. , if . not -ecuus. - Kigh teen per cent, were not good to eat, but not-mortally poisonous.
