" James Davidson was buried at "the North Palestine cemetery Wednesday by the side of his wife, who died some six years ago. , Perhaps all parrots hare equal ly remarkable memories, but 25 years', acquaintance with "Polly Porter" enables me to say" that he never forgets what he has once learned, asserts Mary Rice Miller, in St. Nicholas. Like other par rots, when he is alone he exercises his memory as if amusing himself. Then it is that Polly Porter chat ters m sentences; laughs aloud hysterically; calls, in various tones, commandingly or beseech ingly; calls the names of servants who, but for Polly, would have been forgotten; calls the cat: whistles for dogs who were about him years ago. Polly's cage is in a bow window of the dining-room a good place for keeping an eye on the family. When the father rises from the breakfast table Polly advises: "Hurry! Hurry up! Hurry!" Later, with the first movement preparatory to the children's start or school, he repeats sharply: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry!" When a guest comes in he says, briskly: " W hy, how d'yedo?" When he calls "Good-by" to per sons passing on the street it seems almost certain that he reasons about the coming and departing -nest. He qpickly notices little bildren; coming to one particular ornev of the bottom of his cage, .3 flutters before a little one, at mpting baby talk, which is very mny, ending with "Beautiful aild! Beautiful child!" and a Mid laugh. When the jjouse is quiet and his ustress Has a visitor m the par or Polly craves attention. ' Herepeats the children's names, Imost as if he were calling the oil in sweet, low tones. Then he vjrs: "Mamma!" over and over, i a child's voice, till it is common r a visitor to say: . "Do answer ;at child," or "Some one is calling )u." He comes very near to tell ig tales, saying: "Ah, ah! lughty boy!" with great se--ri!y. Polly is most impatient at -I'eakfast time, when he shrieks 1 he receives attention: "Pollv coffee ! Polly wants break- FROM CHICAGO. L. Kline Writes From Palmer House. I" BANKING.

Kline, who, in com pany with his wife, was register ed at the Palmer House in Chi cago. Very soon they are to be in San Francisco, from which place they expect to come home about October 15. Alter send ing regards to friends in Cor vallis, Mr.. Kiine drew attention to an article on wheat which appeared in the S. 'F. Chronicle not long ago and sug gested the wisdom of a reprint of such portions as would be of in terest to our wheat raisers. Be lieving the article to be of un usual interest, we take pleasure in reprinting it entire, as follows: The -steady decline in the volume and gluten content of the California wheat crop is a very serious matter to those who have capital invested either in ranches, which, without irrigation, can only be devoted to grain ; ware houses for storing the crops, steamers and barges for trans porting it, and mills for grinding it, and during the last year all these interests have united, in as sisting to defray the expense of a thorough investigation of the causes of the decrease in yield per acre and in the quality of the product. Professor G. W. Shaw of the State University has been in charge of one part of the in vestigation, but the matter has engaged the attention of several of the departments of the agri cultural college, of the grain ex perts of the United States depart ment of Agriculture and of many of our farmers and millers. That the falling off in our wheat product is to a great extent due to the deterioration of soil re sulting trom long continued one crop farming, was, of course, re cognized, as was also the fact that our climate tenos to the production of starchy, rather than glutenous wheat. For increasing the . yield var ious plans are under consider ation, notably irrigation, in which some experiments have been made. Our grain growers, however, are not irrigators and our expert irrigators most'y live where water is tco costly to be applied to grain crops. The op posite method of intensive dry cultivation by what is popularly known as the "Campbell meth od" has also been talked about, but without trial, in this State, so far as we are aware. Improve ment in these directions ; wil' re quire time. 5ut tnere is one way by which both vield and quality can be improved at once, and tnat is by procuring new seed of glutenous varieties success fully grown elsewhere, and found by trial to go well in this state. A good many vaii ties have been tested dui ing the past season and several have been found which are quite satisfactory. The var iety, however, which yields best in this state, carries a large glu ten content, and of which seed can be obtained in commercial quantities, is the Turkish red, which is extensively, grown in Nebraska and Kansas, with blue- stem, from Eastern Washington, as a second choice. The con sensus of opinion seems to favor Turkish red, and a good deal of seed is being imported by millers and dealers. It has not rusted to any considerable extent, does not shell or break off, vields well, and is satisfactory to millers. As grain suitable for seed and free from noxious weed seed requires time and care for selection and importation, it is considered im portant that all grain growers place their orders early in order to. assure the importation of a sufficient quantity of the proper quality.
