FOR SHAKESPEARE

The British government is asked
to provide a site for a Shakespeare
Memorial theatre. 1t is fully time
that England showed her apprecia-
ton in this way to the worlds
greatest writer. A Shakespeare
Memorial theatre in New York
would give dignity to jazz row.

DO you remember the problem
of one of the Broken Hearted"
letters? A girl living in a foreign
country was engaged to boy who
had come to the U. S. A. and was
making good. He didn't want TO go
back and she didn't want to come
here to live, SO they had broken
their engagement and both hearts
were aching.
This letter has come from a girl
who has the same problem but
meets it in different way:
Dear Mrs. Lee: | want to
tell Broken Hearted to go with
her fiance. To follow him if
she loves him as much as she
says she does. l am engaged,

happiness slip through your
fingers just because you are
obstinate.

engaged to him she should be will

''All the cotton needs water" Mr..
Boyd said. "lt doesn't matter wheth-
er il rains. or the cotton l. irrigat-
ed. but IL must have water. and have
II soon. II a good crop Il expected"
Mr.. Boyd said that noticeable
difference exists between cotton
that has been irrigated recently. and
that which has not been irrigated.
The nature of cotton is such that,
when there Is no moisture. the tap
root continues going Gown into the
ground in search of water, with the
result that all energy Of the plant
iS taken az By the root. and the top
does not grow.
Valley farmers in irrigated lands
should water their cotton AZ once,
Mr. Boyd said. and those on non-ir-
rigated lands should do their best
10 cultivate the land. and hold what
little moisture there may be. and b.
prepared for any rain that might
fall.
The cotton situation in the Valley
