The following report was sub

were inspected. OF these, % were
found to be infested with American
Foulbrood, and total of 95 colon
les were destroyed by burning.
The puncture vine on the county
highways is in better condition than
il has been for several seasons. The
fact that there has been no rain, in
addition to the fact that the work
performed last year accomplished
results, have made this year s cam
paign noteworthy success. While
practically every road has been
sprayed from one to three times,
the amount of spray material used
has been great deal less due to the
lightness of the infestations.

caused serious losses in the past
few years in Imperial Valley prom

brought about by the production of
a new. group of melons descended
from strain introduced from India.
This Hindu melon is free from mil

attacks.

While this Hundu melon is not a
good market type in itself, hybrids
with the standard types have been
made and are, in their second gen

Tiny Tots Fills
R e al Purpose

One of the newest and most
fruitful developments in education
during the last 10 years is the
school for children of the prekin-
dergarten age. Various expert
mental schools, connected with state
universities and normal schools have
developed the idea but so far it has
not been introduced into the regu-
lar school system, due largely to the
fact that these young children are
better handled under private tute-
lage. to say nothing of the added
expense to already burdened tax
payers.
But educators the world over are
coming TO believe that these baby
schools are most desirable institu-
tions. They give the infant s first

with children of his own age. In
fact the socializatiOn of the child
through directed play is the chief
aim of the school for pre-school- age
children.
There is such a school in Fl Cen
tro and many local mothers are
finding a solution to the discipline
problem by sending their children

years to Mrs. Rosalie Perkins
