producing section of the United States
IS the opinion expressed by MANY in
vestigators and horticultural experts
They point out that the Valley trees
come into bearing earlier and bear
more politically; that the cost of ex
pensive fertilizer is eliminated. and
that the Valley is clossr to the big
central markets. The mild winters of
this section also reduce to a minimum
the menace Of frost damage, a menace
which has proved a serious hadicap to
the development of the md lstry on the
Pacific coast.
If Florida and California citrus
fruit growers can make good profits
IRON their groves, a citrus orchard in
the Lower Rio Grande Valley shoulo
prove a real bonanza" was the com
ment of a citrus expert of the federal
department. of agriculture, who recent
ly inspected the Valleys citrus devel-
opment. The ccst of producing cit
rus fruit in the Valley is less thar in
either California or Florida: your 5
year-oli trees produce as prolifically
as theirs do at eight years, and the

bill of costs. The California %investi-
gator reported that the cost of ferti-
llZer and cover crops in the citrus
groves of that state ranged from Sc to
$40 per acre, with an average of about
$25. The cost of cover crops in the
Valley seldom exceeds So per acre, and
the fertilizer item does not appear or
the bill.
The cost of land ans painting is also
higher in California, according to the
report Of the Investigator. The cost
OF maintenance prior to bearing is also
much higher, due to the fact that fer
tilizer is -necessary and the winter eli
mate less favorable. The California
grower is compelled to wait at least
two years longer for the first returns
on his investment. Valley trees 6
years Of age produce as prolifically as
9-year-old California trees, assuring
the Valley grower earlier and bigger
returns on his investment than the Call
ifornia grower could ever hope to
realize.

Heavy Paintings Being Made
There are now nearly two million
citrus fruit trees of various ages in
the Valley and this number will be in
creased by the paintings this season.
Prior to the last two years the plant
ings have generally been confined to
small acreages by individuals, but the
industry having passed the expert
mental stage and its profits proved
the planting of large acreages has re-
suited. Many of the larger landown-
ers are new arranging to plant from
so to $50 acres this season. At the
present time the largest orchard does
not exceed 100 acres, but the day Of
the large orchards has arrived. Hun
dreds Ct landowners who planted small
orchards two or three years ago are
now increasing their acrgages, and

Sun Porch For
 Spring
By ELAINE MASON

Soon the days will be with us when our spirits absolutely refuse to stay without doors. Yet of course there are so many things we must do in the house that the next best thing to being out doors is to make the inside of some part of the house as much like the out side as possible. If you live in a real house with any kind of a porch you can build the porch into sunroom and make it lovely and livable with wicker furniture and cretonne and paint. Here you can sit and work all day and feel as happy as if you were outside.
 But some folks have no porch. and they are many. The best thing for them, if they feel the urge for the great outdoors and sunshine and flowers and all that, is to make believe they have a sun porch. This can really be done quite satisfactorily and be almost as good as the real thing.
 If you live in a small apartment somewhereahigh up in a building you must have at least one room where the sun is shining a great part of the time. It is perhaps the smallest bed room in the pertinent, and has always annoyed you by the way as you arise from your bed and leave the room for the day. Why not make that room into a sun porch? It may have only two windows, but these are enough if you have faith and a great enough desire. Paint the room very pale yell low, all over the walls and ceiling, to give the effect of greater space and more sunshine. Then either paint the floor light warm green and varnish over the paint, or else put linoleum on the floot. Black and white marble checks are always porchy, or terra cotta tiled linoleum would be fine. Then get a lot of comfortable wicker furniture or cover some upholstered furniture in light, happy colored cretonne.
 The bed which was in the room can be left there for couch or seat if it possibly can be disguised by means of cretonne coverings. Paint the wicker a light green or orange or gray or whatever light tone especially appeals to you, and make cretonne cushions for all the chairs. Rag rugs or old

Mother In Law Is Hard Position
 ToFill
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

Just so often communications come to me from unhappy wives who are still suffering under the, prosecutions of mean mothers-in-law.
 Many times in these columns have advanced the belief that mothers-in-law day by day, in every way, are getting better and better" And I am of the opinion that as general thing women who have married children are begin ling to think more justly as to their relationship; that is, the average moth- er-in-law today is profiting by the experience of her predecessor who meddled too much and caused a great deal of trouble.
 In years gone by, when the individ- ual was more closely regarded in con- nection with the family, the mother in-law assumed that she still owned her male offspring after he had taken another woman whom he had prom ised to- honor and obey. She rarely realized that she had actually lost much of the possessive right that she had when he or she was single.
 Many mothers in those days made life misery for the young woman who had supplanted her in the affec- tions of her son, to which she still clung-undeservedly or otherwise.
 But civilization has moved on apart and while there is still no place like home there are many things to attract young people outside of it, and the mother-in-law has changed with the times. She looks upon her married children as she shouldAas entitled to living their own lives and go their own ways with as little interference from her as possible,
 I repeat, believe this is the gen. eral attitude of Y the right-thinking woman of today From all indica- tions she lives up to it. At any rate, she doesn't manifest her feelings over much or intrude unduIy, and it is n very sensible woman who 99 times out of 100 will let the young people fight it out themselves and ruined her own business. %Es3

there was a certain unevenness in the floor, but this was fixed by making q new floor of bricks over the entire old floor. Then the walls and ceiling, which were wooden boards, were painted cream color with light green woodwork. A bench was constructed from boards across one end of the room and padded to form a comfort- able seat. The construction was hid- den beneath flounces of cretonne, and heaps of cushions made the corner inviting. A few wicker chairs and q table were given a coat of brick-colof paint to match the floor and cushions for these and curtains of cretonne com pleted the room
