The state agricultural college extension directors are being urged by women's organizations of various kinds to allot a certain specific portion of the funds for work with women. In view of this fact it is interesting to note the amount of money actually being put into this work by the agricultural colleges, for the most part in cooperation with the United States department of agriculture. Data taken from the records of the department and relating exclusively to work of this kind in the 33 Northern and Western States show the following distribution of funds: (1) For meetings and movable schools at which demonstrations are given in cooking, sewing, household conveniences, and for the organization of women's clubs to study home economics, $81,555. (2) For canning clubs to teach girls and women how to prevent many of the wastes of the farm by canning and preserving fruits, vegetables, and meats by cheap and rapid commercial processes $56,197. (3) For county agents who help farmers and their wives to increase the net income of the farm, and thus make possible the introduction of labor saving conveniences and other improvements into the home $1,027,312. From the above it will be seen that there is being spent a total of $137,752 directly and $1,027,312 indirectly on lines of work affecting the farm home. The former amount is equal to —The farm women reading, self development, social life, and in the development nomics demonstrate needs to be kept in view that the problem must chiefly try women.

Matters that just now are concerning extension directors in the North and West are how best to approach the home economics problems of the country and what kind of an organization to develop for carrying on the work. Shall there be developed a woman county agent who shall work with the farm women in some such manner as the county agent works with men Just what, in detail, shall such a woman do? How shall she organize her work and how go about it? Shall it be required that the county pay a part of her salary and expenses, as in the case of the county agent? What training and qualifications shall be required of women agents who take up such work? Men take up the work as county agents as a permanent life work. Women agents are very likely to leave the service to manage homes of their own. In view of this fact, how shall the work be organized? The Washington office will welcome comments and suggestions from all county agents and extension workers who have given attention to this matter. The chief objections of women to country life are usually (1) the generally small returns in farmnig, (2) the drudgery of farm work, and (3) the social isolation. More money for home conveniences and greater efficiency in household management both have in view the lessening of the drudgery of farm work and the securing of certain periods of leisure to farm women which may be used in productive, social and recreational ways. Extension work designed to be fundamentally helpful to farm women would seem, therefore to include within its scope certain matters, as follows: "Modern Homes latest issue from the West Dealers Association; the printer's art; of the most practical California homes; range of ideas and three homes that cost $7,500 to $9,000; sew to $5,000 and two $2,500; each of the illustrated with photos and etchings include attractive features archways, book cases a number of modular rages, barns, and dwellings.

Plans to increase the net income of the farm—Farm women need more money for home purposes. The purchase of home conveniences, the installation of water, sewerage, lighting and heating systems, kitchen and other conveniences, and the bringing of literature and music into the home are, in the majority of country homes, dependent upon the greater net profits in farming Knowledge of these conveniences and other desirable things is good, but money to buy these desirable things is a vital necessity if country life is to be made as acceptable to women as town life. The county agent is giving especial attention to this phase of the work. Plans to teach and demonstrate efficiency in farm home management—These include such matters as wholesome food properly prepared and served in adequate supply and variety, throughout the year, the care of the home and the family linen and wardrobe, the care and management of children, and sometimes the handling of certain farm enterprises like poultry and eggs, milk and butter, the garden, small fruits, etc. Efficiency in farm home management contemplates the maximum of accomplishment with the minimum of effort to the end that the farm family may find satisfaction and contentment in the home, and that the time of the farm woman may be conserved.

In the development of home economics demonstration work, there needs to be kept in mind the point of view that the problems of country women must chiefly be solved by country women. The county agent movement in some sections of the North and West started out primarily as a city man's movement, but it has succeeded in exact proportion as the farmers of the county have taken hold of the work and made it their own. City women can help in the development of the forthcoming demonstration work in home economics for country women. One of the ways in which city women can be of direct help in the movement is through greater social intercourse with farm women, through direct purchases of poultry, eggs, butter, fresh and canned fruits and vegetables, and by cooperating with them in the maintenance of rest rooms, nurseries, etc., for farm women when they come to town. But what farm women need and how to meet these needs are matters which must be worked out chiefly by farm women themselves. The criticism sometimes heard with reference to much of our home-economics teaching is that such teaching is done primarily from the standpoint of the town woman. The country woman's problems are the problems of the country and must be approached from that standpoint. BEAUTIFUL NEW PLAN BOOK "Modern Homes" is the title of the latest issue from the service department of the Western Retail Lumber Dealers Association. It is a model of the printer's art, showing some 75 of the most practical and beautiful California homes covering a wide range of ideas and values that contains ABUNDANCE OF WATER TO IRRIGATE SOUTHLAND U. S. Profit From War Trade Enormous, says Secretary of Agriculture Houston Secretary of Agriculture D. F. Houston is in Southern California for a month's down to the ground investigation of the national forest reserves, water sheds and agricultural resources of this region and other points on this coast. In an interview Mr. Houston declared that the two million acres of agricultural lands now under irrigated cultivation in Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties are capable of almost limitless extension. "In the year just past," said Secretary Houston, "crops worth $15,000,000 were gathered from this land. There is sufficient water constantly on tap from the Angeles and Cleveland national forest to irrigate all the land now uncultivated." Secretary Houston declared that the gain to American farmers from the needs of the belligerent forces in Europe has been enormous. "On January 1, this country had a debt of $300,000,000 gold outstanding in Europe," he said. "Since that time the gain in exports of foodstuffs alone from the United States has been sufficient to wipe out this great sum; yes, and twice over. "The American farmer has never been so prosperous as now. Last year we had bumper crops of wheat and other cereals. The prices paid for this wheat was the highest known. And our own country was not deprived of its normal supply. At the beginning of the war we said that we could deliver 300,000,000 bushels of wheat to the European market without stunting our home market. And we did it to the prosperity of the American farmer. "This wave of prosperity for theater of the land generally, it was felt that the remaining areas of government lands excluded, from the national forest should be eliminated therefrom in order that they might be acquired and used in connection with the surrounding agricultural lands already appropriated." "EYES OF THE ARMY" AND HOW THEY WORK Important Part the Aeroplanes and Aviators Play in World War The French flying corps is more than anything else the eyes of the army. With the enormous front which the French have taken unto themselves to guard, their task would be almost impossible were it not for the aeroplanes and the aviators. Just as in everything else in this war, aeroplanes are something of a surprise. When war was declared you pictured in your mind a fleet of a thousand aeroplanes charging down the air lanes against thousands of hostile machines. You pictured Titanic battles in the air between Zeppelins and Clement-Bayards, between Parsevals and Bleriots. You expected to be thrilled daily by hair-raising stories of the exploits of the aviators. The trouble with that is that the aviators are working away in the air just like you work in your office, the store or the farm. The aviator has many duties to perform, but the least important of them is to attack the enemy. Map making is perhaps his most important function. Just step inside the general's office—this war, you know, is being run from offices just as a factory is—and you will see in a minute how it all is done. On the general's desk—a regular desk, like a broker uses—you see a pile of photographs. These are made "Modern Homes" is the title of the latest issue from the service department of the Western Retail Lumber Dealers Association. It is a model of the printer's art, showing some 75 of the most practical and beautiful California homes covering a wide range of ideas and values. It contains three homes that can be built for from $7,500 to $9,000, seventeen from $3,500 to $5,000 and twenty from $850 to $2,500, each of these designs are illustrated with photographic half-tones and etchings including many novel and attractive features, such as buffets, archways, book cases, fire places, also a number of modern designs of garages, barns, and silos are shown. There are beauties in this book that would do honor to the most exclusive neighborhood in Anaheim and any one intending to build would do well to consider the suggestions brought together in this pleasing collection. The Gibbs Lumber company have installed this service in their local yard and are prepared to furnish complete plans and specifications, free of cost to builders, they also have complete material lists covering each plan, and are ready to give estimates of the cost of materials required on short notice. Sample plans have been submitted to local contractors who have remarked at their completeness, clear cut execution, and exactness. OBSERVATION TOURS VALUABLE A feature of the county agent work in Nebraska this year has been the agricultural observation tours taken in the respective counties for the purpose of focusing attention to some special method or practice of special value to local agricultural conditions. Silo excursions were held in five of the counties, and they were followed with very excellent results. In western Nebraska, and especially in Dawes county, the number of silos has more than doubled following these observation tours. The growing of sweet clover and the value of alfalfa were also made objects of special excursions. As a result a great deal of sweet clover will be put in on sandy soils in Madison county, and the method of obtaining stands of alfalfa will also be followed out in all parts of been so prosperous as now. Last year we had bumper crops of wheat and other cereals. The prices paid for this wheat was the highest known. And our own country was not deprived of its normal supply. At the beginning of the war we said that we could deliver 300,000,000 bushels of wheat to the European market without stinting our home market. And we did it to the prosperity of the American farmer. “This wave of prosperity for the wheat grower has reflected itself this spring all through the country in every walk of life. Quite naturally, for the farmer has had more money to spend for necessities, comforts and luxuries. “This year our bulletin reports show that 11 per cent more wheat has been planted than last year. The early reports are very encouraging and the June crop, we anticipate, will be a heavy one. The May reports, which will be issued soon, will tell the story. “I believe that the same conditions that marked the marketing of our American crops in Europe last fall will be repeated this year in spite of the fact that every nation, both neutral and belligerent is planting more wheat and other foodstuffs than before. In Canada and India more than 20 per cent increase in planting is reported. The Germans and Austrians are utilizing every square inch of ground we are informed. “But nations at war are wasteful. The faults of distribution, wastes, extravagance, poor means of transportation, to say nothing of the great destruction of stores by the enemy, will speedily diminish whatever gains in crops may be made. “What market will be found abroad for fresh and dried fruits from California is still a problem. It all depends upon how long this war may continue.” The Secretary was warm in his praise for the forest rangers in the Angeles national reserves, and he declared that he was well satisfied with the splendid progress made in checking forest fires last year. “California is very fortunate in possessing the immense water shed that she does,” he said. “In our national forests we now have 180,000,000 acres. Now, in this state alone, we have 7,500,000 head sheep on government grazing lands and 1,500,000 head cattle. You can see what an important branch of our government to the owners of these herds is our forest reserve system.” Clad in rough khaki costume with store or the farm. The aviator has many duties to perform, but the least important of them is to attack the enemy. Map making is perhaps his most important function. Just step inside the general’s office—this war, you know, is being run from offices just as a factory is—and you will see in a minute how it all is done. On the general’s desk—a regular desk, like a broker uses—you see a pile of photographs. These are made by aviators with special cameras, and are enlarged. You see white lines running hither and yon across the picture. Other lines are zigzag. Some start nowhere, while some go squirming competently across the paper. Now look on the wall. There you see the same map on a larger scale. Every tree, highway, river, brook, hill, wood, bridge or railway is clearly shown there. But the zig zaggy lines are not. They have been made since the big map was prepared a year ago. They are hostile trenches or German works of some sort. If the exact nature of the works cannot be made out, the chief of the aviation corps assigns one of his aviators to investigate. He goes out, makes an observation and another picture. Other aviators check on him. Next day, and then at regular intervals, other pictures are made. They are enlarged and compared. The little line that started apparently nowhere has grown in length. It has turned in the direction of other white lines, which the officers know are French trenches. The general in command makes his plans accordingly. He has exact information now, and can order an attack accordingly. Aided by the photographs, a corps of draughtsmen is kept busy at various corps and army headquarters making ground plans showing every trench built or under construction, by the enemy as well as their own. These plans are drawn to exact scale and are kept strictly up to date by the hard working plodding aviators. Of course, the aviators do other things, like dropping bombs on ammunition depots, or convoys, or army headquarters, and occasionally they engage in a duel among the clouds, but it does not require a military expert to realize how much more important this proposition of map making work really is. The pictures many times give information which the enemy is doing his best to keep a secret. The photo- SAFEGUARDING CROP REPORTS Letters are occasionally received from crop reporters complaining that the government reports are given to the papers and grain exchanges before the farmers receive them. The department endeavors to place these reports in the hands of every one interested at the same time. It should not and does not favor any person or any class. The seller and buyer are placed on the same basis, each receiving the same information at the same moment. Nevertheless the department makes especial efforts to secure the distribution of this information to the farmers and others who, because of lack of organization, are not in a position to obtain it quickly by their own efforts. The quickest way to reach the farmers, under present conditions, is through the newspapers. PHYSICIANS ELECT OFFICERS At the annual meeting of the Orange County Medical society, held at Santa Ana Thursday the following officers were elected: President, Dr. J. I. Clark, Santa Ana; vice president, Dr. Albert Osborn, Anaheim; secretary, Dr. R. A. Cushman, Santa Ana; treasurer, Dr. H. S. Gordon, Santa Ana; librarian, Dr. C. D. Ball, Santa Ana. "California is very fortunate in possessing the immense water shed that she does," he said. "In our national forests we now have 180,000,000 acres. Now, in this state alone, we have 7,500,000 head sheep on government grazing lands and 1,500,000 head of cattle. You can see what an important branch of our government to the owners of these herds is our forest reserve system." Clad in rough khaki costume with heavy riding boots, Secretary Houston and members of the staff that accompanied him to California from Washington put in two days' jaunt through the Angeles forest. He is due back in Washington in three weeks and in the intervening time intends to visit all the national forest territory on the Pacific coast. LAND ELIMINATED FROM SIERRA NATIONAL FOREST On April 27 the president signed a proclamation eliminating approximately 77,440 acres of land from the Sierra national forest, California. This action results from the recommendations made by the Secretary of Agriculture, based on examinations and reports submitted by the forest service. The lands eliminated are situated along the western boundary of the National Forest in what is locally known as the Sierra foothills region. The greater portion of the land excluded has been found upon examination in connection with the general land classification of this forest to be mainly agricultural and grazing in character. A great portion of the land has already been acquired by private parties, either under the general land laws prior to the inclusion of the land within the national forest or under the forest homestead act of June 11, 1906. In view of the heavy percentage of alienation and the agricultural char- Of course, the aviators do other things, like dropping bombs on ammunition depots, or convoys, or army headquarters, and occasionally they engage in a duel among the clouds, but it does not require a military expert to realize how much more important this proposition of map making work really is. The pictures many times give information which the enemy is doing his best to keep a secret. The photographs of a number of villages are made, for instance, and one of them in particular shows signs of considerable more activity than usual. Other photographs of the same village are made, really almost moving pictures, with the interval hours instead of seconds and by these snapshots it is discovered that troops are arriving or departing, that many convoyes are stationed there, that reserve trucks or the like are there; in short, it is learned that the village has become a troop center. The pictures had to be adopted because an aeroplane must fly some 2500 yards in the air to be comparatively safe, and at that height the eye cannot take in the details. An aviator might fly many times over a village and not catch the secrets the camera divulges with its microscopic reflecting lenses. The county agent in Seward county, Nebr., reports that the farm management association in his county has sold over $15,000 worth of alfalfa seed for its members with a net gain in profit of $850, 15,035 pounds of this seed being sold to the Rockhite Farmers' association of South Carolina at a saving of $1,000 to its members.
