Questions like these come almost
daily to the weather bureau OF the
United States Department OF Agrlcul-
ture The latter is evidently from a
correspondent who is discouraged by
New Jersey mosquitoes and wants to
try something else. Inquiries OF this
type, including questions on the tenn
perature, climate, rainfall, and similar
factors of weather which affect living
conditions, business, or work in some
distant locality, are taken care OF by
the climatological division of the
weather bureau.
The inquirer is usually supplied with
printed data giving great many facts
about the section he is interested IN,
as well as a letter answering his spe-
cific questions.
The weather bureau has 1O6 printed
sectional descriptions of this character
which it sends persons asking about
conditions in definite places in contl-
mental United States. Similar data are
also available for Porto Rico and Ha-
waii. Information about Alaska Is in

Paris correspondent of the Times
When marriage fails, or is unduly de-
layed, action becomes imperative. Fol
merly, marriage was the invariable
remedy; today there are not enough
men to go round, and girls must look
for some alternative to wifehood and
motherhood when they leave school.
An aim in life is essential. Their
parents are the first to realize this,
and turn reluctantly from matchmak-
ing to the choice of career. The girls
despair of finding husband and are
glad to think they may meet him and
choose him for themselves.
Sometimes their dreams are realized,
and there are many happily married
women. in France who have been
wooed and Won in the English way.
They met their husbands through their
work. The numbers of educated gen.
tlewomen who are earning their living,
or preparing to do so, increase every
year. The liberal professions include
many qualified women. There are
few notable cases where women are
associated with big business concerns,
hitherto only run by men. In agricul-
ture women sometimes direct their
estates, but there is no general fem
mime movement towards outdoor man.
ual labor. Women gardeners can be
counted on one hand; farmers are al
most as rare.
sUphoIds Modern Mothers.
Nine. Leon Daudet in her recent
book, Comment Elever nos Files"
puts herself on the side Of modern
mothers in such things as sport and
liberty of thought within measure"
but is opposed to the idea of women
taking part in politics, law, medi-
cine or business. She does not be-
lieve they will, find happiness in pub
lie career: la veritable vie des
femmes est la maison." She would
have her daughters accomplished in
fine arts and fine manners, charitable,
domesticated, "sachant composer un
menu ct au .besoin rexecuter." They
should excel in well chosen sports, and
in their late teens Balzac's novels
might be set before them.
In all thesr do they should be
watched ever and guarded. For daugh-
ters so educated marriage is the only
desirable end. They are i'll fitted to go
out into the world.
Il. Pierre SoIIaine in his novel, "La
Rue de la Paix," draws vivid pic
ture of a girl brought up in this way
who is forced eventually to earn her
living. 1t does not offer an encour-
aging outlook, and one feels the girl
who must earn her livelihood needs
something more than the education
which even a delightful and yirtuous
home can give. She emerges from her

Typical Specimens Growing

be the solution Of the problem. AS yet,
there Is little practical experience in
determining the suitability of these
cover crops in pecan orchards and
their efficiency in controlling the "stink
bug" Orchardists VINO use either bush
velvet beans or soy beans as cover
crops should carefully inspect their
crops at the end of the season to de-
termine whether the percentage of
nuts with kernel spot is satisfactorily
reduced on the areas in which these
crops are grown in comparison with
the same variety where no cover crops
are used. These are important prob
lens on which the growers themselves
can assist in securing trustworthy in
formation.
Plan to Destroy "Stink Bug"
1t has been suggested that the "st:nk
bug" feeds only on seed pods. If this
is true, crops, such as the velvet bean,
which are late in maturing seed pods,
could be grown for summer cover
crop and turned under or cut up with
disk harrows in early OCTOBER before
the pecan is ready to harvest. In this
way the insect probably would be de-
stroyed and the ground left in good
condition for the nut harvest. Growers
and experimenters are expecting to
obtain valuable information on these
crops during the coming season.
Another important problem Is that
of: unproductive orchards. Some Of
these orchards were planted on very
poor soil, and for the worst of these
the only apparent alternative Is that
of abandonment. Other orchards do
not produce we'll because the trees
were planted too close together, and
are now badly crowded. For these tt
appears that the most efrectfee' rem
edy would be that Of removing. the
alternate trees, pruning. those remain
ing, and of improving the fertility of
the soil. For orchards composed of
Seeding trees, or inferior varieties,
top-working is the solution.
To Build Up Industry.
In large outlying districts within the
pecan range, yet beyond the limits of
successful culture of southern varie-
ties, the question is how to build up
the orcharding industry, and how to
extend it's range. In regions to which
the species is Indigenous the first ques-
tion is that Of finding new varieties
suitable for planting. The native for
est and field specimens should be ex-
amined for trees bearing desirable nuts
in sufficient quantity to be profitable.
