By omitting five rows of com, potatofes, or tomatoes, for example, 

 and making the rows longer this plan can be adapted to one-twen- 

 tieth acre plots 45 x 48 ft. By adding four such rows it can be 

 adapted to plots 72 x 30 ft. which also contain one-twentieth acre. 



News Notes from California 



As a result of the work of the studies of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Goethe abroad 

 during more than a decade, the European Xature-Study Field Excursion is to 

 have a rather extended test in California here this coming summer. It is a 

 part of the work looking toward an International Recreation Clearing House 

 and is a continuation of the demonstration playground which Mr. and Mrs. 

 Goethe are conducting in Calcutta. 



A group of summer resorts at Lake Tahoe will probably be selected for the 

 testing by the State of California, of directed natiu-e-study walks. 



Preliminary- tests of the work have been made at Yosemite and at Catalina 

 Island by the California Fish and Game Commission and elsewhere in Cali- 

 fornia by the California Xature-Study League. The more ambitious experi- 

 ment next summer will be in charge of Dr. H. C. Bryant of the University of 

 California and will be under the auspices of the Fish and Game Commission. 

 Dr. Br\'ant \s-ill take a limited number of people on the tramps to acquaint 

 them with the wonders of high mountain wild life. In the evening he will give 

 lantern sUde or camp fire talks on the bird, mammals, wild flowers and trees 

 of the high Sierras. It is possible arrangements may also be made for moving 

 pictures of wild life. It is also planned to have small Ubraries of Xature- 

 Study books, preferably under the California Library system. 



The continued experiments are based upon observations of similar work in 

 Switzerland, Holland, and Denmark by C. M. Goethe, President of the Cali- 

 fornia Xature-Study League. They are part of a foundation being laid for an 

 International Recreational Clearing house to be later established in Xew 

 York Citv.
