and in it's best form there is probably
no building which is better adapted to
the climate than this.
Particularly for the farm, there is
a type of building which does not
come under any of the classifications
given above, but which is we'll adapt
ed to the climate, where there is con-
siderable room. This might be called
the plantation type, with wide
porches reaching out in all directions
and tending to keep the building cool
in the day time. Possibly it does not
cool so quickly at night, but most of
the occupants will sleep on the
porches at any rate.
This question of architecture for
the valley is one which will warrant
great deal Of study, and when the
people become less busy it will re-
ceive the attention it merits.

are meant by the word beauty This
simplicity is entirely in keeping with
the general plan of economy, but not
cheapness.
Double strength glass may even be
economical in the long run in a ten
ant house. A kitchen sink may be a
better paying investment, although it
excludes bay window, or a fireplace
that has been the pet idea of the farm
housewife.
"Screened-in porches, sleeping
porches, double or triple windows and
kitchen conveniences are fine, econom-
ical features which even the smallest
house plans should contain. A separ-
ate living room or parIor is vastly
more important than separate din
ing ROOM 1t is much better to eat in
the kitchen and have a real living
room in which the family can gath
er, or company can be entertained,
than to have a separate dining room
and no living room. These separate
rooms may have complete systems of
plumbing, heating and lighting, which
involve additional expense-but very
little. But the kitchen is the most i'm
portant. room in the farm house.

American income farmhouse is that it
must be inexpensive. The average net
annual income of the farmer today,
after deducting 5 per cent interest on
his investment, is less than S4OO. This
does not mean that the house may not
be attractive. They may, if intelli-
gently planted, with the help of vines,
shrubs and trees, become the pretti-
est spots in the landscape and more
beautiful and inexpensive than the
crowded city houses. The tenant house
is growing in Importance. The num-
Der of rented farms increased by
more than 324,000 during the last de-
cade. Today little more than half the
farms in this country are operated
by owners.
"The possible economy in household
labor and the conservation of strength
of the housewife are two important
factors to be considered in the con-
struction of the farmhouse. Pleasant
and comfortable farm homes tend to
hold families together; but cheerless,
unattractive and unsanitary houses are
what is driving girls and boys to the
cities. Investigations of prisons, in
sane asylums and corrective institu-
tions seem to prove that the sins which

as the condition Of the agriculturalist
is concerned, and of the farm house,
the kitchen is the most important

portance to the farmer of having an
economical farm house" has been en-
phasized by the departments farm
architect. He holds that the mental
and physical fitness of the laborers
both within the house and in the fields
is vitality affected by the building that
affords the family shelter.
"The average American farm home,"
says the department, "has failed to
share in the improvements that are
every day being made in agricultural
conditions and is a rebuke to our boast
ed civilization. Relatively the house.

Orchard Planting
Adds to Value

Several times of late attention has
been called to the increase in value
Of farms by the planting of small or
chards. The time has come when
people have settled down or are set
Ting down with view to making
lifetime homes on the farms of the
valley, and in doing so whatever adds
to the appearance of permanency OF
prosperity adds immensely to the
value of the farm.
There is no question that farmers
in the valley very generally have
neglected gardening and horticulture
both as a matter of profit and for
supplying what otherwise must be
dispensed with in the way of table
supplies, and it is a matter of much
satisfaction that this year there is
a noticeable increase in the paintings
Probably the fruit fairs held in E.
Centre the last two Junes have haC
much to do with creating the senti.
ment in favor of horticulture, fol
they have demonstrated that.a great
variety of fruits can be grown here
with profit.
Whether farmer is disposed tc
engage in fruit growing as a matter
of profit or not, there ought not be

account for the existence of these in
stitutions are often bred in inadequate
and unpleasant farm homes. There
fore this social aspect of the problem
is considerable.
"The office of the Farm Management
Bureau has now undertaken to inves-
tigate and solve the problem of max
ing the farm home better. Already
it has learned that certain features
are overlooked in providing economi-
cal arrangements for the household,
when they might just as easily be pro-
vided for. One of the department S
specialists learned that a woman in
Pennsylvania had broken down from
overwork. She had been carrying coal
from the barn to the kitchen for years.
When the husband was asked if there
was any reason why coal bunker
could not have been provided near the
cook stove and filled directly from his
wagon, he answered.:
Nobody had ever thought of it!'
"After economy in the construction
Of the building and in the housework
has been attained, attention will be
given to the development of beauty.

the water system and $4,000 for
sewer and storm drains, found buy

by Duke M. Farson of Chicago, the

six per cent. Recorder Glasby re-
ceived a telegram from Farson, in
which the latter signified favor upon
the conditions mentioned. These condi-

Ranchers Are Hunting
For Type Of Building for
Valleys Requirements

There is an interesting search in
the valley for type of architecture
which will best meet the needs of this
climate, and, except for business
structures there seems yet to be a
wide divergence of opinion, and the
buildings being erected are following
many lines.
If one will give some study to other
hot countries he will see the same di-
vergence of style. Along the Medit-
erranean there has always been a
preference for massive structures, on
the theory that the heat of summer
would not penetrate the thick walls
of masonry, but, on the other hand,
in India, the Pacific islands and in
southern Asia there is preference
for the lightest possible structures,
on the theory that they will furnish
shade and cool quickly at night.
In all hot countries .here is pref
erence for shade, accompanied with
free circulation of air, and it was
this condition which developed the
Roman and Spanish types of resi-
dence architecture, with the big court
around which the house is built, and
which is the most popular portion of
the home in summer. This court gives
seclusion with the open air, and has
some marked advantages over the
plan of sleeping porches exposed to
view from the streets.
The arcade, which has become so
popular in this valley, was borrowed
from the Mediterranean cities, and
has splendidly solved the problem of
business architecture here, but there
is diversity in residences that indi-
Gates that the valley has not yet set
tied down to definite form.
Most people mere believe in broad
porches, but the sentiment in favor
of them is not universal, and some of
the oldest residents of the valley in
building new homes do not provide
them, believing they tend to prevent
sthe circulation of the air at night.
Some people are at great pains to
provide sleeping quarters opened on
all sides to the circulation of the air,
preferably above the main roof, while
others think the choicest sleeping
quarters are on the southwest cor
ner of the building on screen porch.
The one feature which is most wide
ly followed in Italy and Spain, the
court, with building on three or four
. sides, has never received in this val
ley the attention it deserves, and very
few structures can be found with that
feature, though it will probably be
found more common as the years go
by.
The bungalow type of architecture
is being extensively followed, in
many cases with fault which is ap-
parent on the coast and more so here.
That is the low ceiling and small air
chamber between the ceiling and the
roof. This type of architecture lends
itself to pretty porches providing
good sleeping quarters, and it is of
that light architecture which permits
