'ditOr Of Womdm'S Page:

To the EditOr OF oman rage:
Dear Madam am a sort of guard
ian to IL small group of Bluebirds.
As you know. Rlucbirds are related
to the Camp Fire Girls. The children
meet but once a week. and | would like
to know what kind of work to give
them to make it interesting. They have
three "w0rk' meetings per month and
! one social week. 1t will please me
very much if | may hear from you on
this subject. Also, have you any sug-
gestions for games that they may play :?
They range from seven to twelve years
of age. Have you any ideas so that
they can make money? That is their
object.
A CONSTANT READER.
One way for the children to make
money would be to collect papers and
sell them. At one work meeting part
of the time might be consumed by
exchanging ideas about ways and means
of carrying on this little business. The
older children might knit little doll
! sweaters at IA work meeting and then
sell them. The smaller ones could knit
"b~lanketS'' for dolls beds. Another
activity for your Bluebirds. although il
would not net them any money, would
be to make scrap books for children in
hospitals. One meeting each month coulC
be devoted to this.
Why not have the children aim to
have a little fair once or twice a year.
This would keep them busy at theil
work meetings making things for it, ant
would. if managed right, be the means
OF their making money. If the affair
was well advertised by mothers, etc.
the little ones would have no trouble
to make people come. BY going to tn,
public library and looking through th'
various handicraft books in the chill
dren's department you will discover
things the children could make.
I will mail the games and the otheI
information to you.

Ru N Z LUCE

Poultry Expert, y. S. Dept. Of Ag-
riculture.
After ten davs spent in Imperial
countv. holding demonstrations on the
farms in the interest Of the poultry
flock, we are Of the opinion that the
Imperial Valley offers most excellent
opportunities for poultry growing as
a side line to the animal industry of
the farm, and as commercial nrOpO-
sition.
Imperial valley has ADVANTAGES that
no other section of the country can
have. With its even climate and its
ineXhaustible supply of green feed
during the entire year, it offers poul-
try growers one of the greatest fac
tors for successful production there
is. Housing in the Imperial valley IS
a secondary matter. as no extensive
| buildings ase necessary to produce the
best results.
All varieties of fowl seem to do
equally well here, and nowhere in our
work in the past two years have we
seen better farm flocks than here. We
believe that in the near future Impe-
rial county will rank first in farm
flock poultry. 1t may be made one
of the best profit producers of ami
NAL husbandry on the farm. We pre-
dict a most excellent record from
now on, for the poultry flock in the
Imperial vallev.
