A COMMUNICATION

! HE who commands the soil never
goes hungry"-Yes! this is a true
saying, and l would add, "He who
digs in the soil finds health and soul
development"
Teaching the three RS is not all
the education necessary to equip one
for life, it is essential, but nothing
is more fundamental nor more in
keeping with race development, than
bringing the child at an early age
into garden, his own garden.
Did you ever have the thrill of
seeing growing thing spring from
your own efforts, the opportunity
has now come. The people of Mil
ford are asked to join a garden club,
a garden contest, in your own town.
Let us get back to a saner way of
living, real joy out of nature.
Are you interested in your home
town, then show your cooperation
by joining the contest. Let us get
back of the Rotary Club and show
ourselves what can be done to inn
prove Milford. Sign a blank today,
and convince the president you are
in earnest.
This is one contest where no earn
est worker loses, for the reward will
be the improvement in your own
yard. Don't be content with watch
ing the other fellow, let Nature in
spire you.
Join yourself, but especially have
the children join. Let us conserve
the beautiful, and know the real joy
of Nature, for she can teach us all
many things.

ROOSEVELT AS A FARMER

Farmers will read with keen in
terest the sympathetic description OF
President Roosevelt's farm which
appears in the current issue of The
Country Home. The Roosevelt farm,
named 'Krum Elbow" has been in
the family since 1866, and is the
successor to another farm which his
ancestors owned in the same vicin-
ity-Hyde Park, near Poughkeepsie
since Colonial times.
The farm now contains about 1000
acres, and more than half of it is
given up to trees. The Presidents
interest, as a farmer, is chiefly in
his tree crops. The other farming
business of the place is directed by
his mother, not by himself.
Here is the way his farming in
stincts are analysed by Arthur C..
Bartlett, agricultural editor:
"If you think, as did when vis-
tied Krum Elbow, that tree-grOwing
is one thing and farming another,
then yO uarent familiar with Mr..
RooseVelt's methods. His tree-grOw-
ing seems to me a distinct farming
operation. He is not lumberman,
but a wood-lot farmer. He works
bis lots as another farmer works his
fields-getting one sort of crop here
another there-and paying minute
attention to each lot in order to inn
prove the quality of his product.
by growing trees on upwards of
500 acres, Mr.. Roosevelt. thinks he
is getting the most out of the land,
putting it to the best possible use.
And that, certainly, is the first con-
cern of every good farmer"
The Presidents interest i'm refor-
estation as a means of dealing with
unemployment goes right back to
his own experience on his own
farm. A year or two ago, he used a
gang of unemployed men on his
farm for exactly that kind of an OPP
Grafton, and he has ten acres of pop
lar and walnut to show for it.
Mr.. Bartlett also shows that a
good deal of the Roosevelt slant ON
farm relief and general farm prob
lens comes out of his own expert
ence on the big farm where he was
born. For instance, his recent rec
ommendatiOn for licensing process
sOrs and distributing agencies Of
farm commodities. Many years ago,
when Roosevelt was chairman of
the Committee on Agriculture of
the New York State Senate, he put
through a farm relief program for
cling commercial merchants Of farm
products TO be licensed and regulat-
ed. The farm relief bills now before
Congress propose similar legisla-
tion on a national scale. So it APP
pears that the President is relying
on past experience in framing his
national policies.
Mr.. Roosevelt credits the energet-
ic Mr.. Pinchot with turning his |
mind toward tree-growing. He re-
CARDS trees as cash crop. Through
out his Administration as Governor
of New York State he urged
sound land utilization" policy as !
the first step toward putting agri-
culture on firmer footing. On his
own farm he has found. a way to
use marginal land" profitably. The
same plan, put into effect widely,
will be a step forward, he thinks. ]

RemOdeling Meetings
An Economic Aid To
Rural HOmemakers
Cheese Meetings Also A Thrift
Measure

Thrifty housewives were glad tC
take advantage of the six meetings
held last week by Mrs. Helen Nc
Kinley Of Newark. These meetings
were on renovating clothing and
help was given each individual tC
bring discarded dresses or suits up
to-date. Over a hundred club mem
bers attended these meetings and an
equal number of problems were
worked out.
This is just one of the economy
practices that Home Demonstration
Club members are stressing this
year. The entire program of foods
and clothing is one of thrift and an
even greater effort is being made to
reduce living costs than in previous
years. With the approach of spring,
gardens are being urged with a
greater variety of vegetables grown
and a surplus to can for next win
ter's needs. Instructions have just
been given to fifty leaders on how to
make American cheese. These fifty
leaders are to teach others in their
own communities. This is one way
of using up surplus milk and intro
ducing more of that nutrition food
into the diet. These cheese meetings
were conducted by Miss Pearl Mac
Donald, State nutrition specialist.
Mimeographed copies of directions
may be obtained from Louise r.
Extension Office, Dover.
Other thrift measures such as
careful buying and preparation of
foods; making of home made clean
ers and polishes; more careful laun-
dering methods. etc, will also be
urged during the year. Any home
maker is cordially invited to attend
these thrift meetings whether
of any group or not.

BY THOMAS r.. HENRY.

An American royal family, possessing
the Oldest family tree in the New
World. which can be traced back in
unbroken succession for about a CEN
tury before the landing of Columbus
and which has many living representa-
tives, has been located and is being
studied by representatives of the Car
negie Institution of Washington.
This is the record of the Xiu family
Of Yucatan, who We're Kings for at
least 500 years before the Spanish con-
quest. mobiles under the Spanish crown
for the next 280 years, but who have
earned their bread by the sweat of
their brows for the past century.
Unbroken History.
The papers of the family, presenting
an unbroken history from about the
year 400 to 1917 when the Spanish
regime in Mexico was overthrown, are
being studied intensively and throw a

tan was divided These have passed
completely out of history, except in To-
cal rivalries and oiSlikes.
SectionaIism Still Exists.
Guided by data in the xiu family
documents, Ralph Roys of the Carnegie
staff journeyed last Summer along the
borders of Oxkutzab and some of the
other forgotten principalitieS. He dis
covered that a strong feeling of Sec
tionalism still exists and follows the
lines of the old frontiers. The people
are OF one blood. They do not know
the historical background. They only
know that they have a rather active
dislike for each cther-the psychological
influence of these ancient borderlines
of principalities extending for centuries
after the time when they themselves
were completely wiped out
The xius themselves appear to have
been family of Mexican origin. The
Spanish conquerors found them in DOW
er but. instead of degrading them, made
them ''hidalgos,' or native lords, hav-
ing the perquisites Of Spanish mobiles.
They were exempt from tribute and the
local population was required to har-
vest their crops, repair their houses and
do domestic service for them. The
material condition of the family prob
ably changed very little for the worse
because of the conquest. This was the
method used by Spain to keep her ma
tive subject populations from revolt
Apparently this Indian family re-
tanned this status as long as Spanish
power lasted. In 1917 Mexico won her
