PLAN BAZAAR

On Wednesday, members of the
Meloland Ladies social club spent a
busy afternoon at the home of Mrs.

dinner. Christmas gifts will also be
exchanged as in former years. At
the close of the afternoon delicious
refreshments were served to Mes

PART-TTlHE' FARMS

Two conditions make this an ideal time
to give some thought to the co-called
small or "part-time" farm.
The first is active construction on the
All-AmericanN canal, a project that will
be completed before most of us realize it.
The second, and it should be an induce
ment for prompt action even more so than
canal construction, is the additional
amount of leisure which so many have.
In Southern California the ideal part
time" farm consists of 4.03 acres and is
located from one to five miles from the
urban area. In the northern part of the
state it has been found advantageous to
have a larger farm, the average there be
ing 1918 acres.
"Part-Time Farming for Income by
r. L. Adams and J. L. Wann, published
by the University of California, as a con-
tribution from the Giannini Foundation
of Agricultural Economics, contains a
wealth of information about the part
time" farm.
Henry Ford has referred to it as the
rubber tired farm meaning t h a t.
through quick and economical transport
alton, the owner is able to get to it from
his business in minimum time and at
minimum cost.
According to the 1880 census there
were S,525 such farms IN Calltornl2,
ranging from two in San Francisco coun-
ty to 702 in Los Angeles county. The
average gross value of commodities
raised in "part-time" farms in 1882 was
1902 in the northern part of the state and
S968 in the southern part.
The same census showed 156 part
time" farms in Imperial county Those
who have given thought to the matter be-
lieve that this number should be great
ly increased. Our road problem is grow
ing less each year, our water supply is
practically an assured thing with con-
struction of Boulder dam and the ALL
American canal, our climate makes it
possible to grow things all year through
and there is no need to construct sheds
and barns or other structures such as
would be required in more severe eli
mates
The "part-time" farm would make it
possible for those working in the city to
put in some time at farm work before
and after their daily work. Even if they
raised only the vegetables necessary for
their family use it would be of benefit to
them from a financial standpoint, while
the desirability of such work from ply
sical standpoint cannot be too strongly
stressed. But the "part-time' farms
possibilities are not limited to such things
as are needed for the family. There is

opportunity to add to the family income
by the sale of milk, eggs, vegetables,
poultry and other commodities.
Land at present is cheap-cheaper in
all probability than it ever will be here
again. There is desire on the part of
the government and private capital to
aid those who are endeavoring to improve
their condition by sound investments,
and nothing can be more sound than a
land investment.
The ''part-time' farm is a subject we'll
worth investigating The booklet refer
red to can give much more complete in
formation than is possible here and those
interested should write for it, as copies
are available either entirely free or at
nominal cost.
Imperial Valley is an ideal location
for the 'part-time" farm and the deyel-
opment of such projects here would BEN
eft this community and its people enor-
mously.

"'Oh, no. I'm not digging a
we'll" chartered Johnnie. y am
digging for some nuts I hid here
about two weeks ago. Fine, hick-
ory nuts they were. I dug a hole
and put the nuts in it and then 1
covered them with dirt and patted
it down with my paws. I didn It
want the nuts then as I had just
had plenty. But now I am hungry
for nuts again. 1 am going to take
them to school to eat at recess. -
"That ought to be nice, said
Uncle Wiggily. - don t eat nuts
myself-no rabbits do, for the shells
are too hard for our teeth to crack.
But you squirrels have just the
right teeth for nuts
They're Cone
Eyes, we have said Johnnie,
and he kept on digging down in
the ground to get at the nuts he
had hidden. But, though he dug
quite Deep not a nut did he un-
cover and finally he sadly said:
Somebody has taken the nuts!
They're gone! Oh, dear!"
Maybe the nuts are only lost, !"
said Uncle Wiggily. u mean you
may be digging in the wrong place
for them, Johnnie You may have
forgotten where you hid them m
sure I don see how you squirrels
ever find nuts after you have once
hidden them in the ground.
