which have been kindly rendered for

ton room Is entirely too small 10
display the laces the silver, the arti-
cles of vertu. portraits on china, in
taglios and pictures and therefore the

so valuable that special guards will

awaits every caller II is an 1ppor-
tunity that comes only once in a de-
cade, to see and examine the treasures
OF so many households. The affair Is
also in the nature of farewell to the
institute workers and attendants and
the men and women of Santa Fe owe
IL to themselves TO speed the visitors

commercial and social home
New Mexico's Great Needs,
New Mexico farms must increase
their revenue and they must find a
market for their products declared
Miss Edna Ross, in addressing the
summer school last evening. II have
seen the apples three layers deep in
the orchards of the Mesilla valley and
rotting," she declared. while the rs
tancla valley and the mining camps
were suffering for lack of fruit" Miss
Ross told how Eel Paso. which is u nat
ural market for New Mexico farms,
imports $4,000 worth Of farm prod
ucts each month from Kansas and
how in New Mexico many commune
ties get 100 per cent of their dairy
products and 80 per cent Of their
poultry products for eight months a
year from Kansas and yet, at the same
time, New Mexico farmers complain
because of lack Of market for their
products. The state college, through
Its extension work. is laying the foun-
dation for the Standardization Of
products, which is necessary before
farm products can be marketed prof
itably. Miss Ross reviewed coneisely
the aim and program of the extension
workers and how they touch every
home, especially every farm home.
Mrs. Il. #. Aspiund, as president Of
the Federated Womanis clubs of New
Mexico, introduced the speakers, and
dwelt forcibly upon the fact that the
extension work is for the women as
well as for the men, how it seeks to
relieve the lot Of the housewife on
the farm from its drudgery and how
the organized women of New MeXico
are lending aid to this movement.
President Asplund presided over the
meeting. Mrs Mary MeFie Lackey
had charge of the music, the audience
joining with the summer school Choir
US in the singing of several patriotic
