1AdNllCCs VI NAlS IOllSSG VI dkI4lul-
ture, began studies of these prob
lens. 1t was found that cultivation
to produce a dus mulch does lit
tie to conserve oil moisture; that
soil moisture was lost mainly
through leaves of plants. Hence. it
was held, cultivation can do little
more than kill weeds in the con-
servation of moisture.
AS result of this discovery
Dean Hutchinson says, the cult
walton operations of the farms of
the state have been greatly re-
duced; two to four CIVILIZATIONS have
replaced six to u. He cites an in
stance in Stanislaus county where
the average cost for cultivation in
1925, of $2195 an acre, was re-
duced to S8.65 an acre in 1929, a
saving of $3.50. Yet, using the
conservative figure of 81 an acre
for the saving throughout the state,
two and a half millions of dollars
formerly spent in cultivation oper-
ationS was saved. Had all the farms
in the state used the new method,
nearly five millions would have
been saved.
Irrigation Improved
In the same studies,' says the
dean, lit was found that there is
no such thing IS an optimum soil
moisture content for plants. The
plant can obtain water equally as
well when the water content of the
soil containing the roots is just
above the permanent whiting per-
centage, as when it is near field
capacity. 1t was found that the
permanent willing percentage of any
soil cannot be estimated closely
by any known formula using de-
termination of the moisture equi-
valent. but must be determined by
growing plants III it. BY use of this
knowledge the wasting of much
irrigation water and the danger Of
injury to the trees from leaving
the soil dry too long may be avoid
ed.
THE saving on irrigation last
year was S1,683, 440. 1t could have
been $5,320,980 had the new prac-
tice been adopted universally
When these discoveries were an
nounced, the information was taken
directly to the farmers by the Ag-
ricultural Extension Service; the
farm advisors in each county prov
ed again, under local conditions, the
truth of the claims, Professor
Hutchinson says. The figures given
were obtained in 10 counties where
irrigation records have been kept,
and in 80 counties where cultiva-
ton practices have been improved.
1T is not always an easy matter
to measure accurately the value
of agricultural research" says Dean
Hutchinson. Too often attempts
have been made to measure its
value in terms of increased pro-
duction, or improved quality, and
upon the assumption that the in
creased volume in production, or
OF improved quality, that would re-
suit from the use of improved farm
practices, based upon the results
of such research, can be sold at
the same unit price which the
smaller production has brought.
in this case, however, the value
of this research project can be mea-
sured definitely because it rep
resents money the farmer did not
have to spend, that he was able
to save; this is not affected by any
other conditions.
THE saving in one year, 1881, as
a result of this one project, is more
than the College of Agriculture cost
the state for the two years of the
biennium, 1930-1932."

RESEARCH WORK HELPS SAVE
LARGE AMOUNT TO FARMERS

More than four million of dol
lars were saved to farmers OF Cal
ifornia last year as a result of one
research project of the University
of California College of Agricul-
ture. Making this statement today,
Dean G. B. Hutchinson of the COL
lege, says that new cultivation me-
thods last year resulted in savings
of S2.513,6S3; improved irrigation
practices saved California farmers
81 ,683, 440
These figures" asys Dean Hut
Gibson, do not represent increased
revenues from greater production,
they show money saved because
farmers were able to obtain as good
or better crops with less work and
expenditure"

comfortably upholstered back
seat of Uncle Joe's limousine.
Uncle Joel always sent his car
for the people he wanted to
see. 1t was his way of guarding
against unwelcome company,
Joe said.
A stormy career in State poll
tics had made him many
enemies, and his reputation for
wealth made him the target for
cranks, agents for every variety
Of enterprise and every Conceiv-
able form of public and per-
Sonal charity.
So he had retired to his farm
and lived alone. apparently not
in the least lonely, seeing whom
he chose when he chose, and
no one else at all.

Joe said, as they skinned over
the long, straight road toward

car here in the winter anyway.
Then we'll go for rides and

Fancies

JUST BETWEEN informal
and formal evening costumes
are some lovely frocks that
would look good at any time
and occasion. One of these is
done in bright red velvet of a
dull surface. 1t has short
sleeves done in pointed sections
and lined with white taffeta.
At the side of the high waist
line is a huge flower of the vel
vet also lined with the white
taffeta.
ALMOST A TWIN in cut and
styling to the evening silhouette
is the new lingerie. particularly
slips and nightgoWns. A charm
ing new nightgoWn of blue
French crepe is cut on abso-
lutely Empire lines, with the
brief bodice, high waist and
long, full skirt. There is a
Curving bolero,like suggestion
on the bodice worked out in
apphques of ecru Alencon.
BE DASHING is the order of
the day when buying hats, for
never were hats more dashing
and elegant than now. Take.
for instance. a sophisticated
model of black velvet with a
small ripping brim cut into
pointed ears at the back. Be
tween the ears is a huge black
aigrette fancy. A grand hat
for blonde, for one side shows
so much of the head.
OLD YET NEW is the use of
muffs, for muffs are modernly
allied with the fur trimming on
frock or coat. A dress of green
Lyons velvet has a trimming of
kolinsky to give it the smart
high neckline. There is a
round muff also of the
kolinsky. The frock Stimulates
a two-piece model.
Why not prints for early
autumn, ask smart women.
And so we have an attractive
new autumn suit done in a
print Stimulating the pattern of
Irish lace. There are two
shades of red and the jacket is
worn over a frock.
Even If it is still warm we
can admire nice autumn coats.
A grand new model is made of
beige diagonal woolen with a
collar and rever of beaver. A
cuff of beaver accents the
dropped shoulder treatment Of

Box

To sport the chic coiffure,
ears must be out in the open.
it would seem now as if ears
were designed for the purpose
of holding back side locks.
Since they are performing a
part in the play called pulchri-
tude, they must be neatly pow
dered, touched with rouge,
dabbed with a drop or two Of
perfume. If they have ex-
panded beyond fastidious pro-
portions, they can be partially
draped over with hirsute lam
berquinS.
Atmospheric dust sticks and
hangs to an oily skin. Some
times soap and water, vigor-
ously applied. won't make a
thorough cleansing job. So
get out the. old cold cream jug,
use its contents for the pur-
pose of removing makeup be-
fore the sudSy Tubing takes
place. Eau de cologne can be
used after the cleansing to dig
soil from the pores. Pour into
rough fabric, Scour the skin
surface lightly. Results will
prove that the treatment is
effective.
Don't skimp on soap when
shampooing the hair. Many
women whose brushes show eVi-
dence of soap scum after the
shampoo, don't make the lather
thick, rich and cracking, as it
should be. A weak solution
doesn't cut into dirt and grease,
a combination that will collect
to an alarming extent in one

of soap in a pint Mason jar,
cover with hot water, let stand
two days before using. Keep
adding water or soap. The

Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d
The difference between far
sightedness and near-sighted-
ness may be enough to make
the difference between the ath-
lete and the prize student in
school and the crack salesman
and the professor in after life.
A few diopters in the lens OF
an eyeglass may make the diff
ference between a brilliant
scholar and a Ounce.
The only symptom your child
may show of far-sightedness is
that he doesn't like to read.
Far-sightedneSs is much more
likely to go unrecognized than
ne -sightedness. The far
sighted person can get through
the ordinary business of the
day without experiencing any
discomfort. He is not conscious
of any inefficiency of vision.
But the eye, nevertheless, is un-
der a strain for close work. 1t
can focus at six inches and
even four inches. Because, how.
ever, there is a subconscious
strain involved in doing so, the
far-sighted person inStinctiVely
does not like to read or study.
When fitted with glasses the
far-sighted child who has been
behind in school often shows
immediate improvement.
The near-sighted child, on the
contrary. is likely to be a book
worm. Without glasses he is
handicapped for outdoor games
requiring clear vision for OBJ
jectS at a distance.
Glasses are a dreadful NUS
ance. but it would be a sad
world without them. Especially
after middle age, when old
presbyopia comes on.
Many people who are wear
ing glasses which are quite
suitable for them destroy much
of the usefulness of the glasses
by their own careleSSneSS.
They are constantly taking
the glasses off, swinging them
around, or pushing them
around on the nose. In one
way or another they twist or
bend the frames or loosen the
connections so that one eye is
clear off center. Or both eyes
are off center, one glass droop-
ing down. the other hitch1kg up.

When Manners
Are Correct
Advice Is Needed
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am in great need of your
advice and as I think you give
such good advice to others, I
am coming to you.
I have not lived with my hus-
band for two years and recently
he died. 1 would like to know
how long it would be proper for
me to wait before marrying
again. I have been engaged to
marry for over year. I do not
want to do anything not prop
er.-W.
- There are so many personal
features about such a situation
that an outsider naturally hesi-
tates to give advice, but, judg-
ing from what you say, 1 see no
reason why you shouldn't mar
ry within, say, three months.
After all, your world must know
that, since you have not lived
with your husband for such a
long time, it would be fairly alb
Surd to assume a period of
mourning. So I see no reason
why you should postpone your
new happiness unnecessarily.
