It may be laid that the poor condi tion now i due to dry weather. This is partially true, but the failure of tjio ei ops and the los of itality of lite tieo.s began before the dry sea poiis, and himultaueously with tho geneial use of oil. Mr. Koot .states that theic are runny leubons why oil burning smudge pot8 nie the best means of orchard heating, but he fniln to make any of them public. I do not believe that any ono is called on to attach any great weight to a statement of this kind thai is not backed up by facts, either dueotly or indirectly. If .Air. Hoot has any good reasons for his statement, he certainly owes it to the orchard men to inako them pub lic. 'Tin true, theio has boon no direct work done, with roferennc to tho Fhnidge injury to fruit trees, but all plants arc so similar in their vital functions that any one thing that in jiiiv any one plant or speeio will, in 05 eases out of 100, injure other plant of a similar nature.

Part of the funds lime al ready been provided. Professor Hoginuld 0. Rowland of Vancouver, 11.

Rowland, son of the ttev. Kmiu Rowland, vicar of Wlut lund, Carmauthcushirc, South Wales, vns born at Whitland and received his education nt Queen Elizabeth's rammnr school, Cnramntucu. His career as bandmaster commenced in a smnll town bv tho nnmo of W'olsp ley. in Saskatchewan, Canada. Credit Vas given tho Wolselcy Bilvcr band Vor placing its homo town on the map. The mombcis of thin band wcro Ml local boys, who received their tui tion from .Mr. Rowland. For eight jenrs the hand was nn hunllv engaged for manv of the most prominent functions; from Winnipeg "to Calgary, a distance of 1000 miles, nml under the enreful direr! ion of tn energetic loader enjoyed the icp- illation of being the lineal visiting Virgniiizntion at most of the largest citios. ISnuilmiiNtei1 nt Hcglna h: Rowland Inter was biimlmafc- 'lor for three ve'hm of the citv baud of Reginn, which is the capital of Snskutchewnn, Canndn. This organ ization, under its cannblo dirw'tor, VnM brought to a very high lnto of officicnev and was well known throughout the central west prov inces. It was while Mr. Rowland was conducting his band on the af- 'ternoon of the 30th of June, 1012, that the disastrous evelono struck tho citv of Reginn, which resulted in n loss of 100 lives and the demolishing of .100 building. The selection the liand was interrupted in at the crit ical moment was Supno's oveitine to 'Moiuing. N'oon and Xiphf," the nanut.cript, wheih hear the mil: tit the storm, still is in Mr. Rowland's possession. Immediately after lhi disaster Mr. Ttowlaud moved to Vietfliin, It. C, vhre he aei-eptod the position as bandmnhler of the cighty-dtk-th regi ment Victoria fusilieis. Within one vear of his appointment the band, with a membership of folly, was rlnsted as one of the fuiotorgH- nations in Cnunda.

Just nrovinus to this Mr. Rowland terjiiested his discharge, which was granted to him a well as other members ot the band. Tho eighf Hghth band, whilo finder Mr. Row land, was greatly admired bv the Music-loving public of Victoria, and nt all the principal government func tions and citv parks this band was very rrly not engaged.

In this daily rebuilding certain elements richly stored in the field grninj are all-important. Grape-Nuts made of whole wheal and malted barlcj-, sup plies in splendid proportion all tho rich nutri ment of the grains, including their vital mineral salts, phosphate of potash, etc., lacking in the usual dietary of many, but necessary for build ing and storing up reserve energy.
