Advertising the Valley

Among those attending the Intracoastal Canal con-
vention ia the Valley Monday and Tuesday were a
number Of northern people, including three congress-
men from New York. They were frankly amazed to
find on this part Of the Mexican border cities having
all the facilities and eonveniences q which those Of
the East can boast; and rural development far surpass-
ire that az the North and East
The New Workers stated they had heard Of the Val
lev and its wonderful possibilities; that they under
stood this was one Of the garden spots Of the world.
However. they had no conception Of the great natural
resources and the development that has been ac-
complished, and they were greatly impressed by the
thrivinr cities. the citrus orchards and huge fields Of
winter vegetables.
The Valley is not sufficiently advertised" was
The assertion Of one New Yorker. As a member Of
congress he keeps in touch with all parts Of the nation.
He knew that the tonnage az agricultural products

The belated interest of the Department Of State
IN the plant exclusion policies of the Federal Horticul-
tural Board may head off that group Of microscopic
nureauerats from future unnecessary interference with
international commerce in the shape OF pest quaran-

eign trade are to be declared by the Department Of
agriculture without previous discussion with the State
Department Abuse OF the plant quarantine law, which
was meant only f1r emergencies. but has been employed
be stopped.
France has a fair grievance in the narcissus quar-
antine, which keeps out Of the United States one Of her
important exports. This needless prohibition is one Of
the monkey wrenches in the trade relations OF the two
countries. 1t is too much 20 hope that guarantees
not justified BY acute danger from pests, but a part
OF the deliberate scheme Of plant exclusion, may be
lifted? The narcissus ban has deprived gardeners and
flower buyers of favOrite bulbs, raised prices Of the
meager home supply available and invited reprisals BY
nations whose trade il has curtailed. All this was fore
seen and publicly regretted BY opponents Of the quaran-
tine, but officials Of state and commerce apparently
thought that insects were out % their line and let the
entomologists have their fling.
The narcissus quarantine was a mistake. The
whole plan Of the Federal Horticultural Board to foster
American production by sweeping. permanent embar-
goes may we'll be re-examined in the light Of its effect
upon international friendships Is well as its restriction
on freedom Of selection by American gardeners and
flower lovers. II is not beneath the dignity Of the
United States to correct a departmental error before it
does further damage.

The World and All
PoPULARIzING KNOWLEDGE

Thomas II. Hoysr. Of La Grange. Illinois, writes
that he was interested in q recent discussion in this
column about the popularizing OF knowledge. The dis
cussion arose out Of the prize offer made by a New
York magazine and New York book publisher for the
best book having a tendency to make knowledge the
property Of the average reader.
Mr.. Hoyer says; "You mentioned Van Looms
Story Of Mankind as an example OF this kind Of liter
AZURE. what books had you in mind in addition to this
one? I would appreciate a list Of such books. and /
believe many of your readers would also appreciate it"
Il strikes me that there must be demand for a
short list Of books that one might read this winter
with good results for ones store Of general knowledge.
Books that are easy to read and cover a goodiy range
Of knowledge. Books that one who Is not q college
graduate might read for the purpose Of obtaining much
of the knowledge that one is supposed to get in college.
K
All right, I'll try it. This will be q short list, such
as . fairly busy person might get through betwesn
now and the next hot weather, by reading in spare
time. in the evenings that are not otherwise occupied,
and on holidays that are not too full.
I'd put the STORY Of Mankind" at the top Of the
I Eelieve. as a book covering history in a very easy
manner. and interestingly.
Next I'd try THE story of Philosophy" BY Will
Durant. Especially for the man who has never had
in school, this is q book worth careful read
ing.
Skipping hack to history, I'd try Wells Outline of
History" / wouldn't swallow it whole. I'd keep always
in mind that this man Wells has strong p~rejudiees
that ne cannot keep out OF his most judicious writing.
But the book is one that can be very useful.
Third on the list, ~This Believing World" by
Lewis Browne. II will give you q rapid review Of the
history Of religions, which ought TO help in getting q
look at the world CT thought.
That's a heavy list already. ! would recommend in
terlarding this steady reading with a judicious selection
Of the To-day and Tomorrow Series" a line Of very in
formative little books published by Dutton. In this
list are books that are brief and easy to read, cover
ing a vast range Of subjects that are Of interest to the
knowledge-seekers Of today.
That's a fair program Of winter reading, all in all.
