“DAYLIGHT” YOUR KITCHEN « Let there be Light in your Kitchen, RE you afraid of the dark? I am, and I’m not ashamed to admit it I’ll venture to say, too, that even the bravest honest man has to admit that ’way down deep in his heart he feels a whole lot better when there’s “light on the subject” A But I’ve found that there is more to good light than just that it makes you feel better. Homekeepers with good lights in their kitchens know that it aids them in their work. They’re through forever with tired and strained eyes, cuts and burns, broken dishes—all the toll of dim lighting.

Jan. 18, 1924. We have never seen the orange groves look better than on our trip south from Pomona. While the weather has been cool and clear with many frosty nights, the cold has not been sufficient to do any material damage. Smudging has been to several times, and in Pomona white chickens and dogs still have an iron gray color where the soot has settled on them, and the housewives have to do constant cleaning while the smudge pots are going to remove the pene trating oil soot. All groves are load ed, both oranges and lemons, al though the fruit la small on account of the lack of rain. We went directly southeast through the Imperial valley via Ontario, Col ton, Redlands, Beaumont and Ban ning. From there we took the new paved road direct to Indio, passing up l’alm Spring«. We intended to spend part of a day and night there and vis it another of the oases, where original I>alma grow, of a different variety than those which have been set out in all other parts of California, and which were . originally brought from other tropiqpl countries. But we learned that the $1,600 a month cot tage at the Desert Inn at Palm Springs was occupied, so we passed up the town. The new pavement .skirts the east ern rim of the valley a« It drops over the Humit at Banning, and extends for 41 miles to Indio without a town ex cept for a wayside service station and one little settlement eight miles from Banning. There was little traffic on the road and we made It in about 1% hours. The sky was a little qloudy und hazy and the weather cool. Indio Is the center of the date In dustry in the Coachella valley, and also much garden truck In the way of lettuce, peau and Bermuda onions. The ouious are up from two to six inches and will be ready for market early in the season. There were also more cotton fields in this locality than we saw before, and many are engaged in their last picking. Leaving Indio and passing Mecca, Coachella aud Thermal to one side, we left the irrigated section with its date gardens, onions, cotton and palms, on the long 62-mlle stretch along the Halton sea to Westmore land, the beginning of the irrigation district of the Imperial valley. For 50 miles of this journey there Is nothing but the bare desert, with a few large sand dunes along the way, und the sand wastes covered sparsely with various kinds of cactus, mes quite and greaaewood. Near the head of the Halton sea, where the highway runs a quarter of a mile from the shore, a sign says: "Fig Tree John, %-mile to water,” a welcome sign to the motorist on a hot day with the radiator boiling and perched tongue of the driver, who neglected to cross tiie desert with a supply of water. We reached Westmoreland at sun down and went into camp for the night 100 feet below sea level. It was soon dark after the sun disappeared liehind the mountain range about 30 ’miles to the west and the night chill of the desert made us eager to crawl into our blankets. Hix miles north of Westmoreland the pavement ends, and work is now in progress of grading and graveling the entire road to El Centro, a dis tance of about 25 miles. The road, however, is not bad, being hard adobe (when it doesn’t rain). At Brawley, one of the three prin cipal cities of the valley, .1 inquired for the office of the Commercial Club, hut was told they had none. The sec retary attends to necessary corres pondence when he can spare the time from his law practice, and the work of the club la done through commit tees. The city editor of the Brawley Daily News kindly gave me some in formation about the community. He said that the strawlierryw industry was growing, there being aliout 300 acres, mostly of the everbearing vari ety, and marketing began in December and lasted nine months. Green peas are being grown quite extensively, over 90 cars being shipped last year, the pickings tieginning in November. They sell In New York at 40 cents a pound aud . in Han Francisco at 17 cents. The recent cold snap has stopped the maturing and later plant inga will not come on until February. While the cold lias been hard on pena aud atrawlierrles. it has been favorable to lettuce and cotton. Tiie early lettuce was badly damuged by warm weather and rains, and a low market also resulted In loss to most growers. The estimated crop for the valley this year is 7,000 cars. Cotton, which has been disastrous for .the last three or four years, has again come to the top, and is now the most profitable crop in the valley. We are having a few days’ visit with our old Hood River friends, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Kelsay, and their son- In-law and daughter. Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Hall, after which we will start on our pilgrimage across the hot sands of the desert to Yuma and Phoenix. (By Mrs. D. P. Smith) Newport, Or., Jan. 21, 1924.
