Miss Saarl s has been commissioned by her. native land to make the survey. While In Klamath County she has been a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Eu gene Cross and of Mr. and Mrs. Grant F. Brown of Spruceland Farms, Fort Klamath. In her survey she has visited the Drusey area In Harney Coun ty where the grass is entensively cultivated and the E. F.

At Cornell she majored in home eco nomics and agricultural economics. She plans to sail for Finland Sep tember 15.
