We Women
AT TT AGAIN!

 TIT WAS St. Paul who started the subject. He had strong ideas about
 women - especially about their heads. He had a low opinion of the in side of our heads and firm opinions as to what we should do with the outside of them. He said our heads should be covered in church. And covered they have been since that day. If it isn't hat it must be veil. We are not per mitted to go bareheaded.
 If we had bobbed our hair in those days, St. Paul would probably have nipped the fashion in the bud. It is not the sort of thing he would have liked and he would have put his foot down. But we had not started bobbing then so he left no rules on the subject. He did leave a precedent-a general idea that it is preachers province to com plain of what a woman does with the outside of her head.
 A southern evangelist is now taking up that idea very seriously.
 He told his congregation it was "un- spiritual for women to bob their halr. He went further and said strong, un- pleasant evangelistic things about the custom. He called it disgraceful and rumor has it that he told them bobbed- haired women were headed straight for hell.
 This is strong language and no
 one but saint and an apostle
 could possibly get away with 1t.
 The southern preacher must have
 had delusions of grandeur to think
 he could say such things with im-
 punity.
 The women of his congregation not only resented it, they went further and acted. They struck and delivered an ultimatum. He must apologize or there would be no choir or singing.
 The strength of the feminine part
 of this particular preachers congre-
 gation does not lie-like SamsOn's
 in their tresses. They are still
 mighty, though shorn and shingled. The evangelist either apologies or a male chorus will have to be formed if he wishes music. The
 audience, too, will be purely mas.
 culine. =,
 One suspects that the evangelist will be brought to understand that he and St. Paul are two very different people.
 Perhaps he will furthermore be made to realize that we women of 1924 and our sisters of 200 A. D. are quite diff ferent women.

Socks aren't so bad, because he can keep them hidden most of the time. When she sends him books either he has already read them or they are the kind with curleycues and blue angels down the margins, uncut edges that he'll never bother to cut and such an ex- pensive cover that he has to go right out and send her ten pounds of candy before he can breaths.

sad the purpose of the program was
to bring about closer understanding
Of the problems farmers here have to
contend with. He believes the busi-
ness men here should organize trade
tours to visit the farmers in every
section around Flagstaff, speaking in
their community centers, and offering
their encouragement to holding farm
ers Institutes.
Mr.. Chisholm believes farmers in
stitutes or extension meetings shoul
be held here. He believes a farmers

Mccormick in his proposed drive of
deer from the north side of the cam

Nh. Pearson said that 80 years ago
the old-timers were inclined to decide
that farming could not profitably be
carried on in this section, but that
later developments have proven diff

in farming since then, but there still
is much to learn, especially in relation
TO conservation of moisture and new

Mr. Pearson said he did not wish
to throw a wet blanket on farming

farmers. But to be successful one

around Flagstaff, elevation is from
six to seven thousand feet, precip-
,tation % inches, mean temperature
AZ. The Douglas fir section has an
elevation of eight to nine thousand
feet, mean precipitation 35 inches

In the cedars it is too dry for sue
cessful cropping ecept at long inter
walls, though the mean temperature is
right. In the yellow pine section, the
medium is more favorable. There il
rain enough most years and it is warn
enough and the season is long enough
so that many crops may successfully
be grown. In the Douglas fir section
there is very little land suitable for
farming. Again, while there is plenty
of moisture the temperature is too
low and seasons too short for more
than a very few varieties Of crops.
Mr. Pearson said that # the Creator
had intended this to be a first-class
farming country He would have jug
gled these things around. AS it is,
farming is pretty much limited to the
yellow pine section.
In IHe yelOW pine SectI0n FdlnIaI
is high in winter and May and June
have very little. Farmers must adapt
themselves to this, plow early to con-
serve moisture, get the seed in early
so that it may germinate and be all
ready to grow When the July and
August rains come. If rains are nor
nal in July and August, provided the
farmer has plowed and planted early.
he generally is pretty sure to get a
crop. Sometimes, as during the last
two seasons, rain in July and August
has been below normal, resulting in
crop failures.
