Letters of
Commentator

7r has been a matter of considerable
qualification to the Home and
x Farm Magazine Section to record
the receipt of an enormous number
of letters of commentator on the
initial issues of this publication. AT
this point, we should like to say, too.
to our readers that we welcome criti-
cism with the same eagerness with
which we appreciate praise.
To ourselves it is but fair to say
that the critical letters were few, very
few. Probably 95 per cent of the
helpful suggestions made therein will
be adopted within the columns of
the section during the next few weeks.
Perfection is impossible. We can but
strive SO far along that road as we
may.
Thinking that our readers may care
to peruse few letters of the many,
we make a judicious selection below.
We do this for two reasons: First,
the element of vanity that is in us all;
second, the fact that we desire to en-
courage the letter-writing habit among
our readers. We sand at all times
ready to give information. Simply
write to this paper. marking your let
