 the fortieth anniversary of the Cranston 

 Street Baptist Church last week. 



Macnair had attractive windows on 

 the last days of the week. These, as 

 well as the interior of the store, were 

 transformed into a harvest scene, in 

 keeping with the spirit of Hallowe'en.

IRRIGATION. 



The Skinner Irrigation Co., Troy, O., 

 requests the publication of the follow- 

 ing under the too lengthy heading, 

 "Write Your Congressman About Irri- 

 gation": 



"The problems of irrigation are be- 

 ginning to be appreciated by the aver- 

 age grower. The greater his knowledge 

 of them the more he realizes the 

 necessity for specific and tangible in- 

 formation relative to the correct 

 amounts, the proper methods, and the 

 right periods for the application of 

 water. 



"Within the limits of the appropri- 

 ation allowed, the Bureau of Irrigation 

 Investigations of the Department of 

 Agriculture has done faithful and effi- 

 cient work along these lines. The time 

 for annual appropriations is now at 

 hand, and it is our belief that no money 

 spent by the government will yield bet- 

 ter returns to the growers than money 

 appropriated for work along irrigation 

 lines. During recent years a consider- 

 able share of the money appropriated 

 has been applied in ways of benefit to 

 the truck and fruit grower. 



"Our suggestion would be that each 

 grower who is interested in these prob- 

 lems, communicate with his senator and 

 representative, urging on him the im- 

 portance of a liberal appropriation in 

 order that the Bureau of Irrigation In- 

 . vestigations may have opportunity to 

 work out these questions along lines 

 which are commensurate with the pos- 

 sible opportunities and benefits. A 

 concerted effort on the part of the 

 growers will lead to a liberal appropri- 

 ation from which they cannot fail to 

 secure large benefits."

Enclosed is $1 for a year's subscrip-

 get along reading my partner's copy, 

 but we both find so much interesting 

 reading matter that we both want it to 

 read the same evenings, so it's a case of 

 get two copies. May you live long, and 

 your publication live forever. — W. T.
