TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
SAN LUIS VALLEY

Now that the Farmers excur-
sions are over and each section of
the Valley has enjoyed one | wish
to express my appreciation and
thanks to the business men of the
Valley and all others who have
helped in making these excursions
a success, for it is to them the
credit is due.
Just how effective they will be
in bringing about the desired re-
suits can only be seen in the future,
though greater interest in asking
questions regarding better methods
of farming is being seen already.
There is no question in my mind
but what this is one of the best
means the people could have
adopted to awaken greater inter
est among the farmers for the
working out of more profitable
farming systems.
wish the farmers to feel that /
am here at their service. | do not
know it all by any means. I am
here as student to receive as well
as to give. They say "two heads
are better than one," so if you have
problems, perhaps we can get to-
gether and work them out. If not,
l am in position to get help from
other sources and l am willing at
any time, either by mail or per-
sonal visit, to assist in any way l
can. If | haven't the desired in
formation | shall be glad to get it
for you.
The regretable thing about this
work is the Valley is 80 large that
| am unable to do as effective work
or visit the different sections as
often as l should like, though 1 am
trying to divide my time equally
among all.
| appreciate the work and help
OF those who are cooperating with
me in carrying on the field and
demonstration work, for without it
| should be able to accomplish
very little along this line.
One thought l should like to
impress upon the farmers is that
the things our Valley need are
more crop rotation, more intensive
and less extensive farming, more
cultivation and less irrigation.
should like the people to feel
| am interested in them and the
welfare of this Valley and if there
is anything l can do or anything
they can suggest which will make
the San Luis valley better and
more productive ! shall enjoy work
ing to accomplish that thing
Endeavoring to serve the Valley
to the best of my ability, am
Very truly yours.

Flowers Made to Grow
in Shaded Places

Many of the owners of pretty new
suburban homes may we'll take pride
in their attractive flower gardens. for
an architects plans nowadays seem to
include the planting Of a garden as an
adjunct to the house. a formal gar
den. with Its paths edged with prvet
hedges, is a lovely setting for a house
built along Colonial lines, and when
the garden is filed with the old-fash-
Toned flowers of our ancestors we may
easily call up in imagination the gar
dens Of the past. But there are some
lovely places in our suburbs that have
for their special pride fine old trees
These trees may make a flower garden
of the accepted kind out Of the ques-
ton, yet no one who owns such trees
has any desire to sacrifice them. even
for flowers But there is n way to
have both.
In home there are beautiful old
trees which shade the grounds SO much
that plants OF the ordinary sort do not
flourish. Last autumn she decided to
try a wild garden. and went to the
woods for plants with that idea in
mind. Under a very large tree she set
out violet plants taken from the
woods, as the border OF n large circle
Early this spring she made moro trips
to the woods. returning each time with
variety of ferns, with which she
filled In the circle around the tree.

the vogue for 1t has sprung up. much

ion and her whms.
This surprising demand for maline
hats was brought about probably by
the successful launching of the crown

leave the crown Of the head visible,

OF the maline attached to the back and

Learn to Read Your Scales---Advice to 1ousekeepers
From Woman Inspector Of WEIGHTS and Measures

Every housewife should learn to
read her scales II she wishes TO calcu-
late correctly the cost OF the food she
purchases, making sure that she gets
full weight OF each article that she
buys.
This Is the sage and sensible advice
given by Rhea Brinsly Mccormick, a
young inspector from the Bureau Of
Weights and Measures. One of three
women appointed two years ago to
help IN the fight against dishonest
weights and measures Miss McCor-
mick. in spite OF her youth, has made
many an old grocer and butcher three

was that her brother passed at IL per
cent and she at 81 This placed her
on tho eligible list. and later che was
one of three women appointed as in
spectors.
The bureau is now self-supporting
and. whereas, when the work was
started each day used to uncover sew
eral cases of dishonest dealing. now
the inspectors find that out OF the
twenty or more calls made In n day
one or two cases OF cheating are tho

with new scales. and the owners are

Length OF Dresses.

cessively short frocks Will be glad to
know the simple rule that determines
their length. The dresses are made
so that they just touch the floor when
the small girl kneels upright on the
floor. When the child stands the
skirts just brush her knees. which is
the desired effect OF the short frocks
that do not cover the dimples in tho
