You've read about the success of the great Chandler Ranch-the cream of fertile Salt River Valley, Arizona.

"The town of Chandler is being laid out along distinctly modern lines. Its designers are planning to meet the modern problems of traffic-of street railways, automobiles and auto trucks which have proven so perpleXiug in the old style towns. The latter have gen crallY grown and have not been planned. They did not provide for modern traffic conditions places in the business center where automobiles could be parked safely, without interfering with the through traffic on the streets. Open spaces are to be reserved for public buildings, schoolhouses, churches and playEroundS, Poles for wires will be placed in alleys and not the main streets. Business blocks fronting on new 5000 brick school building which is nearing completion has already been found inadequate as there are more children waiting now than the building will accommodate and it has been nee essary to make provisions to add an other unit to the building before the first one has been completed.

A nutritive ratio is the ratio be-

tritive ratio, the carbohydrates plus

protein. Thus, the nutritive ratio may
be 1 to 4, meaning that something
contains four times as much of the

ments. as 1t does protein or meat

seen that chicken feeds differ in the
amounts of the different elements.
Taking corn for example. the fat
