OREGON WELL REPRESENTED IN THE PERMANENT ST. PAUL AGRICULTURAL DISPLAY FROM a ZONE OF PLENTY.” Oregon will no doubt derive great and lasting benefits from the permanent din play of grains and grasses in the exhi bition room of the Northwest Develop ment League in St. Paul. Splendid samples of wheat, oats, flax, rye and barley were part of the state’s mag nificent agricultural exhibit at the recent Minneapolis and Chicago land shows and were brought East for display purposes by the Great Northern Railway. Com mercial organizations, the railroads and the Development League are carrying on an extensive publicity campaign to at- tract the attention of visitors in the Twin City to the display of the products of the soil of the American Northwest and it is likely thousands of people will view the exhibit annually. One of the features of the Oregon exhibit is a sample of fall rye seven feet high. Varieties of oats include Mam moth Cluster, Storm King and Silver Mine. UTiite Bonanza is also shown in the display, (’rail Fife, Big Club, Blue Stem and Red Club varieties of wheat are well featured in the Oregon grain exhibit. Excellent flax samples anil six row barley form a part of the display. Shelled grains in glass jars complete the grain exhibit. Grass samples include I he herbs’ Hout. Waiting For the Lightning. Curious inforimtlion on the habits of ju* big trees oft 'alifornia Is given in one jf John Muir's books. “These big trees,” he says, “sis'in to l>e immortal unless they are destroyc<! by accident. There is no absolute lii.iii to the existence of any tree Death is due to accident, not, as that of animals, to the wearing out of oigaus. Only the leaves die of old age. Their fall is foretold in their structure. But the leaves are renew«*d ever;, year, and so also are the essen tial organs wood, roots, bark. buds. “Most of the Sierra trws die of dis ease. insects, fungi, etc., but nothing hurts the big tree.” adds the distin guished naturalist. “I never saw one that was sick or showed the slightest sign of decay. Barring accidents, it seems to be Immortal. It is a curious fai t that all the very old sequoias had lost their heads by lightning strokes. " All things <s nie io him who waits.’ But of all living things the sequoia is perhaps the only one able to wait long enough to makostire of being struck by lightning.’' It was on the bunks of the Maritza, near Adrianople, in 13(14, that tin* Turks first cam«* into conflict with the young Slavonic races, the Servians, the Bosnians, ill«* Bulgarians.
