The clop is not a porlehab1e one, and the problem of =rioting is therefore more easily solved than is' the ease with a, perishable crop, It is painted gut that the Peclfio. North-Weet isoneof the few localities on the continent where filberts thrive sufficiently well to make their growing worth while from a commercial stand- point. A profitable market is await- ,.ing an adequate production here. In the last fiscal year the Province of British Columbia alone imported 82,- 000 pounds of filberts for dlsttibution in Western Canada. Large quantities oleo reached the prairie markets from the'east, the Dominion importing alto- gether 1,514,008 pounds worth $34,371 from the United $ingdom, United States, Italy, Spain •and other coup- tries. In the opinion of the most re- liably experts the quality of the home- grown filbert compares mast favor- ably with the imported product, and there need not be the slightest appre- hension on thls score Trees Yield 20 to 60 Years, Plantings of -filberts can be expected to return profitable yields in from, six to eight years of planting, though a few nuts will generally be found in the second and third years, gradually increasing until they reach maturity, though it Is not certain at just wbat age they reach the maximum produc- tion per acre. In Washington and Ore- gon theyhave continuedto"increase in' production for twenty years, *Millet in Southern Ontarlo two plantings of filberts of forty and sixty years of age are still yielding good crops. The seedlings are quite'resistent to cold, withstanding temperatures of twenty- five degrees below zero. Mr. Gellatly and a few other en- thuelasts in the province wlio have been. experimenting for years., have collected a vast amount of valuable data on filbert growing in British Columbia— location, soil requirements, climatic conditions, time of planting, system of planting, varieties, etc,— too lengthy to print here but readily available to those desirous of entering upon this promising phase .of horticul- ture In the Pacific coast province. In addition, the results of practical work Accomplished in this direction by the Government experimental station on Vancouver Island, of which too little advantage has been taken, are there for the "aid of the newcomer to the in- dustry. Sooner or later, greater advantage will be taken of the great amount of data available on . nut culture on the "'Canadian Pacific coast and the grow- ing of a variety of nuts will be enter- ed upon on an extensive scale. There Is little doubt but that ultimately Bri- tish Columbia will be the nut -product ing province of Canada, providing for Canadian domestic need and possibly engaging in an export trade.

Century Old Bamboo Organ Still is in Use. One of the most remarkable organs in the world, says a writer in the Wide World Magazine, le• the bamboo organ In the Roman Catholic church of Los Pines, a little town about live miles from Manila, 1a, In the Phtlt ppfne islands. This organ was built about 1818 by an old Spaush priest, who must have been an,extremely patient, and devoted worker, as ire used more than 900 lengths of bamboo in the organ, every one of which was buried in the sand for at least two years In order to season it. Although the bamboo is a very soft wood, the old priest did his work so Well that the organ is still in food condition after a century of use, and is used every week in his services by the Belgian priest in charge, Father Victor Deciereq. - Every part of the Instrument is made of bamboo and some very ingeni- bus devices were included by its build- er. While making theorgan, the priest built a tiny model, a perfect copy of the big instrument. This he sent to the Queen of Spain, who, in appreciation of the present, sent it number of valuable gifts to the church. Some of them stiff 'remote, and are al- most as much treasured as tate organ Itself, Ireland, was one whol lived later, at the time of the first Anglo-Norman in- vasions• He was a king of Leinster, a romantic figure, though a traitor to his Celtic blood, who invited the aid of Earl Strongbow and the English in at- tacks on neighboring Irish kingdoms. hr Scotland tale family name of Mac- Dermid is borne chiefly by members of one of the septs of the Clan Camp- bell of Argyle, who derive It from a chieftain of that name, celebrated as "the slayer o the wild boar," who was the progenitor of the house of, Argyle.
