Imvo plenty of llatonera. Eitracta of
hla letter are given below.
"It'a lota or fun being here. Eng
land la Juat like you tee It In the
booka. The queer character are
typical, and the funny houaee are a
Hcrcam. They are all little two-ttory
bulldlnga and the atreeta are narrow
nnd winding. We went thru Ramaey
Abbey while In Ramaey. It la a won
derfully old church, built In me year
907 on tin. Normandy atvle. In one
place the walla were daoHhed dar
ing a fight In which Oliver Cromwell
had a part. Alao, In one room, wee a
place where Kmperor WllhelB had
written hla name when he vlalted the
ptaco In 1007. The building la ell
atone, and had a high tower with a
narrow, winding atalrway to the top
of It. Wo nil went up to the top.
Then a mlnlatcr gave a long talk
about tho building to ua.
"It la Juat like aprlng, and la dandy
for walking. Ivy covered tree line
tho roadalde, nnd everything la green.
Tho weather here la wonderful, nice
balmy daya, with clear, cold algata.
It la only foggy once In a while, and
then Juat In the morning.
"We kco many Kngllah aoldlera who
nre homo on furlough, and they tell
ua that they are very hopeful that the
war will end aoon. They think that
our aoldlera are marveloua looking
men, and they aure do .look good la
1 ninnarlnoii to the Kngllah aoldlera.
The Knalfah neonle aeeai real glad to
uro im, but. they are ao funny. The.
KuglUh money la a puttie to ua. Per
hopa U we weren't all broke we would
cot familiar with It aooner. I gueae
wo will got paid for the Drat tine

"Kvcrythlng In the way of clothing
la cheap over here, but eata of all
kluda are etpenalve, and chocolate of
nny kind la practically out of the
queatlon. The other night we found
a place where we could buy hot apple
imi im we nlanned a feed. We
bought aome hot chocolate and cake
nnd a half a pie each, and you aaouia

ERY INCH OK AVAILABLE

PRODUCT WILL BE PROSECUT.
ED VIGOROUSLY
A vigorous campaign for Increased
gardening over Oregon is to be made
this year, according to State Leader
of County Agricultural Agents Paul
V. Marls, who came In laat night
from Douglas County to get the move-
ment under wsy with County Agent
H. R. Gtalayer and the county food
conservation organisation.
A very substantial Increased acre
age wss devoted to gardening and ag
riculture last year thru this kind of
activity, but it proved to be a bad
year In many parts of the state, so
that the results were not aa satisfac
tory aa waa expected.
Condlttona this year are much more
favorable than laat, at the present
time, and the leaders believe that by
starting eary a tremendous area can
be devoted to gardening that would
otherwise remain uncultivated.
The active campaign will be pushed
thru Western and Southern Oregon
from March 4th to 33d, and a sys
tematic plsn of procedure Is now be
ing arranged for Klamath County.
Mr. Marls declares that tho winter
in Oregon baa been unusually good.
In Umatilla county, where 1 per cent
of the wheat grown In the United
States Is produced, the farmers have
only lost ten daya from work in tho
fields, and all the ground haa been
put In flrat class condition for a bum
per crop. The desire of the govern
ment that each county In' the United
Rtates have an agricultural agent I
rapidly being compiled with in Ore
gon, where all but a very few coun
ties have been put on this work.
