a straightforward account of

Howard said: Like the manu-

market for his product. and
he is now vigorously demand
ing the right and privilege

Zations to market his product

the manufacturer, must have

inroads into his capital just as

would compel the farmer to

would be compelled to close

TERRACE DISTRICT
PLANTS INCREASED
POTATO ACREAGE

Ranchers in the Terrace
district are planting an in
creased acreage of potatoes
this year, one man from the
party of Kansas immigrants
having rented land from Chas
Lauer, and seeded 100 acres
of potatoes.
The Terrace district soil has
been proven excellent potato
land, but the growers have
been handicapped by the long
haul to the shipping stations,
as some of them have a Is
mile haul. If they succeed in
overcoming the transportation
difficulties, to such an extent
that the cost of transportation
is not prohibitory to potato
production, it is expected that
section will prove one of the
leading potato producing dis
tricts of the valley.
1t is estimated that the val
ley will have an increased
acreage of 1000 over last
year, which amounted to over
10000 acres. There is not be-
lieved to be so great an in
crease in the vicinity of Mont.
Vista as in the outlying dis
tricts where new land is being
opened to the production Of
potatoes.
Mr.. Taylor, of the Hopper
& Taylor Potato Co., who
recently returned from a trip
in the northern part of the
state in the potato districts,
says that he believes the in
crease is general throughout
the state, though in no part so
great as in the San Luis valley.
In the Greeley district which
has long been noted for its
fine potatoes, there is a mark
ed increase of potato planting
this spring, but on account of
the acreage planted to beets,
the increase is more limited
than in this valley.

school for but a part of each
day. When children who dc
not understand English enter
school, their progress in the
studies is retarded when they
must take their chances with
the English speaking children
who in turn are held back
while the instructors give the
necessary additional time to
the children, who must learn
the language before they can
make any advance. Oppor-
tunity rooms were suggested
as remedy for this situation,
as in these rooms the back.
ward children might receive
special attention in the first
and second years, or until
they could make the third
grade test.
Mrs. Mace and Mrs. Espin-
osa were appointed to confer
with the Spanish speaking
parents and explain the move
ment to them in order that
there might be no misunder-
standing.
Mrs. Cline, president of the
association, suggested that
during the coming year, that a
part of the time at each NEE,
ing be devoted to discussion of
the welfare of the schools,
Mrs. Hurd submitted a propo-
sition that the Spanish speak
ing people be encouraged and
helped to maintain a hospital,
where the sick might have
proper care.
1t was also announced that
Miss Yancey, the community
nurse would be glad to in
struct classes of mothers in in
fant care, or hygiene and
home care of the sick, if any
cared to take up that work.

Just one year ago, the Del
Norte Farmers Cooperative
Marketing Association was
formed with around thirty
growers as members. At IA
meeting of the board of direc-
tors of this organization the
other evening, it was found
that the association had ship
ped 200 cars of potatoes for
the season and, after paying
the managers salary, office
rent and all other expenses in
cident to the running of the
business, the neat sum OF
S21OO.OO in cash now reposes
in the Jeans of the treasurer.
Also, the association have
claims out amounting to be-
tween 500 and $500. The
earnings will be pro-rated
back to the members accord
ing to the amount of business
done by each thru the assoc
iation; which, by the way, will
make a nice little melon to
slice at the annual meeting
next week.
1t might be stated that the
above 200 cars of potatoes
were bought on the open
market, the price paid being
what is understood as the
market price for that day.
But matters pertaining to
the farm are beginning to look
up again due, partly, to the
natural course of readjust-
ment and due, partly, to the
fact that farmers have found
they can do Il large part of
their own marketing and this
to the ultimate professor or
consumer" This is being done
thru the National, State and
the County Farm Bureaus. the
two former often acting in an
advisory capacity with rep
resentatives at their respec-
tive seats of government thus

needs while he is busy on his

., ,tSOCldllOA 1ucSudy dlleTuOOH,
Miss Edith NJ. Bowes address,
ed the audience on the subject
of home teaching for the
Spanish speaking mothers of
the community. Miss Bowes is
Americanization director for
the state, working under the
w. c. T. U. association, and is
\ spending ten days here organ
izing the work.
/ She stated the aims of the
work, gave the plans and sug.
gestions for carrying out the
J teaching. 1t is planned to teach
the Spanish speaking mothers
in the homes, either alone or in
groups, the teaching to be
done by volunteer workers,
without pay, beginning with
elementary study of English
spelling, reading and writing,
!. and taking up advanced work
at the discretion of the teach
er. The first lessons will be
given from a primer provided
by the w. c. T. u, which
takes up familiar words in the
home, giving attractive illus
trations of the words to be
taught.
This home teaching for
foreign speaking mothers is
rather a new thing having
originated in the w. C. T. U.
activities in New York City
about three years ago. Atten-
ton was called to the need
OF this work Miss Bowes says
by the fact that foreign speak
ing men learn enough English
to carry on conversation
either in their business, labor
or in night schools which are
provided in abundance for the
men, in larger towns; the
children learn English in the
= schools, while the mothers,
who should be the center of
home life have no opportunity
to learn the language. or to
become accustomed to Ameri-
can customs. In many instances
the children become the fam
lily interpreter, which gives
them feeling of Importance.
and breaks down the parental
authority.
In this locality practically
the only foreign speaking peo-
pie are the Spanish Americans
and the discussion was con-
fined to dealing with the
Spanish speaking mothers.
Miss Bowes states that teach
ing the mother the English
language will have much to
do with improving the citizen
ship as she believes that much
of the lawbreaking is the re-
suit Of ignorance Of the spirit
of the law, and that n know
ledge of the English language
will be a doorway to mutual
understanding.
Several ladies volunteered
for the teaching at a previous
meeting held by Miss Bowes at
the home of Mrs. Meinzer.
Arrangements were made for
"A later meeting but the time
was not set.
An outstanding result Of this
meeting was the appointment
/. Of q committee Of Mesdames
Hurd. Conant and Gray, to
confer with the board Of edu-
cation upon the matter Of pro-
viding opportunity rooms for
the Spanish speaking children
in the grades. A general dis
cussion brought the fact
that the first and second
grades are 80 crowded that for
