Betty a rough-haired terrier belonging to Mr. Charles Abbott, of Richmond-road, Kingston, Sur- res, rescued another dog from drowning in the Thames near Kingston.

The second dog became entangled a line holding together two pieces of wood which it was re- trieving for its owner, a litle girl. It was unable to swim and held on to the wood beating the water with its front paws to save itself..

Mr. Abbott, who was on the bank, called to his dog, "Go in after it, Betty." She swam out to the piece of wood, which was about 16 yards from the bank, gripped the free- end, and, encouraged by her owner, swam ashore, dragging the other dog with her.

Now the limit had been brought by scientific breeding of wheat varieties and scientific soil manage- ment far below that. Wheat was being successfully grown with a rainfall of less than 10 inches.

He did not ree why wheat should not be grown in the future with even less rainfall.
