Away over on the Colorado river
is Imperial Valleys little brother,
the San Pasquale Valley, an area
rich in agricultural development
and home of a sturdy type of farmer
pioneers.
In San Pasquale Valley are the
Rard Irrigation district and the
lands included in the Yuma Indian
reservation. The greater part of the
lard is in the Bard Irrigation dis
trict, an outstanding project under
The United States Reclamation dis
trict.

EASTERN PART

This area is in the eastern part
of Imperial county and extends for
/ IS miles along the west bank of the
Coo ado river. There are approXi-
mately 10000 acres OF rich alluvial
soil which has been producing crops
since Laguna dam was completed
in 1910.
Originally the major crops of the
district were cotton and alfalfa but
in late years the scope of agricul-
tunal development has increased to
/ include dates, citrus, melons, flax,
hay, forage crops, truck garden
crops, and lettuce One of the most
interesting harveSts is the annual
/ harvest of alfalfa seed.
ONE OF OLDEST
The Bard Irrigation district is
one of the oldest and most success
full reclamation bureau projects in
the southwest All district indebted
ness has been liquidated. The aver
age cost of water to the farmers is
only about 1920 per acre per year.
District participation in the sale of
surplus power from the federally
owned Syrhon Drop power plant
continue in the future as in the past
to tighten the annual expense bud
get of the Bard farmer.
FORMED IN 1928
The Bard Irrigation district was
formed in 1923. Before that time
the lands were administered by the
reclamation bureau.
Evidence of the governments re-
alizatiOn of the Importance of this
area is shown by the location in
the district of one of the oldest
agricultural experiment stations in
the nation. 1t is one of the seven
reclamation bureau experiment sta
tionS and is managed by the bureau.
There are many enjoyable days
spent by Bard residents in cat fish
ing in the Colorado river and in
hunting during the seasons such
sport is permitted.

By the Way
Beth Blaine

Want to get married? Well,
II you're in the service and
you've got the girl, all you have
to do is contact Mrs. Will Sha-
froth and she'll arrange every
thing for you. She'll even buy
the wedding ring and the mar
rage license-get the minister,
the flowers, help the bride with
her wedding gown and her trous-
seau-and, if you want a recep-
ton afterward, she'll arrange
that, too, food and the works.
All you have to do is set the date
and tell Mrs. Shafroth the
amount you want to spend. It's
a volunteer job for her, so you
get everything at cost-or even
a little better, because she knows
lust what shops give you the
most for your money, and she
knows all the ropes when it
comes to arranging wedding.
The idea of this very special
kind of service came TO Mrs.
Shaforth when her young
nephew who was stationed at
Ouantico) told her that he was
engaged to a young girl from
Boston, but they didn't see how
they could get married on the
short leave that he was allowed
if it necessitated going to
Boston and getting the ring and
the license, etc.
why not be married here in
Washington" asked Mrs. Shat
froth
Well, it takes so long TO get
the license there" said the young
man.
So Mrs. Shafroth told him TO
talk it over with his f1ancee and
her family and she would make
all the plans here. She did, too

on which occasion their son,
Henry Arson Barber III, was
commissioned a lieutenant.
His marriage to Miss Fredericka
de Peyster Lawrence took place
the following day at Tuxedo
Park, N. Y. The ceremony was
a quiet one because of illness in
the family Of the bride, whose
only attendant was Miss Anne

Mrs. Litchfeld to Visit Daughter,
The Baroness Van Boetzelaer

The Netherlands Minister and
Baroness van Boetzelaer will
have as their guest next week
the latter's mother, Mrs. Law
renee Litchfield, who will come
from her home in Pittsburgh.
Mrs. Litchfield is coming to make
the acquaintance of her youngest
grandchild, Christian Willem
van Boetzelaer, who was born
January 10.
Baron and Baroness van Boet-
zelaer have two daughters, Mar
garet, VINO is a member of the
senior class at the Madeira
School, and Susan, who is a
junior there. Baroness van
Boetzelaer before her marriage
was Miss Ethel Litchf1eld and
she and the baron have been In
Washington for several years

afterward gay little reception
at Mr.. and Mrs. Shafroth's own
home in Chevy Chase, dancing
to Victrola and all sorts of good
things to eat and lovely flowers
and a huge white wedding cake
for the bride and bridegroom to
cut.
And every one seemed so happy
over the whole thing that Mrs.
Shafroth wondered If she couldn't
do just that for a lot Of young
Servicemen who had to crowd the
planning and the wedding and
the honeymoon into such few
short days. She told a few
friends and they all thought it a
splendid idea and promised to
help her. Because they felt just
as she did, that a wedding is
something you want to remem-
Der all your life. and that even
in these busy war days there
should be something gay and
sweet and sentimental to remem-
Der about that day of days.
Mrs. Shafroth is an attractive
looking woman and a talented
and, we suspect, slightly romantic
one. She has done a bit of writ
ing and in 1910 won the Avery
Hopwood drama prize in play
competition at the University of
Michigan. For three years, while
her husband has been chief Of
the Division of Procedural
Studies of the Administrative
Office of the Federal Courts, she
and her family have made their
home in Washington. The Shat
roths have two children, a hoy,
Is, who goes TO the Landon
School, and a girl who goes to
Potomac School here. Since
March Mrs. Shafroth says she
hasn't had a maid and that's
kept her pretty busy at home so
that she couldn't take a full war
time Job that would keep her
away most of the day. And since
this wedding arranging is done
largely by phone, this seems made
to order for her.
If you're thinking OF matri-
mony and there's good chance
that the lady of your choice will
say Yes" just call Mrs. Shat
roth at Wisconsin e531 and she'll
fix the rest!

A few weeks ago Mr.. Ryan or
dered a classified advertisement
to run four times announcing
that three horses belonging to
him had strayed. By the time
the ad had run twice, he re-
ceived responses locating the
horses.
He ordered the ad stopped then
but it was inadvertently printed
a third time. During the past
week more responses about es-
trayed animals poured in on Mr..
Ryan, bringing his fervent re-
quest. All he wants are just his
own horses.
