Tho subcommittee on schools of tho 1015 hcniitlfylng committee, together with tho Judges In tho school grounds contest, hnre Joined forces In asking that tho work of beautifying the grounds of schools In Los Angeles county bo continued until every one of them shall bo welt embellished with trees, shrubs nml plants. Tho writer sincerely hopes that Ilia Judges, Messrs.

In thu past pcoplo who should bo most Interested bavo o(tcn proved unusually npathotlc on tho question of embellishment of school grounds. It has been a matter of wonderment to tho writer why tho ono piece of ground In a community lit which all hnvo common ownership and in which all havo 11 common Interest should bo the only ono neglected. Yet such has proved to bu true in a score of cases coming under observation. Now sen timent Is undergoing n rapid chuugo for tho better. Tho Impetus given thu beautifying of school grounds by tho 1915 committee will bo far-reaching nml permanent. If tho ono suggestion made bu carried out, namely, that no prize winner of tho present year bo allowed to compoto for two years, tho tlmo will come when nearly all will havo won ono or more, prizes and nil will bo moro or less beautiful. Tho county should havo an otllclal adviser to lslt und report upon wnys and means of Improving each school, or, better Btlll, tho county should hlro somo competent designer to plan every school ground In tho county. Then would nil have tho Bamo foundation on w hlch to begin work tho only prop er foundation. Los Angeles Times.

Horticultural igrointM SLOPE FOR PEACH ORCHARDS 1 Importance of Relatively High Eleva tion Disappears When Adjacent to Largo Body of Water. Whero nn orchard occupies a slto that Is adjacent to n largo body of wn-1 tcr, tho importance of a relatively high elevation largely disappears. To 1 be a factor In the matter, however, a body of water must be of sufficient I size and depth to hnvo nn apprecia ble inlluenco on tho local climate. lie causo tho water warms up In tho spring moro slowly than the atmos phere, It nets In effect as a refrigera tor, 'making tho temperature In Its Immediate vicinity colder than It Is at points somewhat distant from It. For this reason, vegetation within the zone of this Inlluenco advances moro slowly In the spring than It does outside of that zone. The tendency Is for tho blossoming of peach trees situated within tho zone to bo delnyed until after tho season ot spring frosts Is past. In tho fnll frosts nro dolayed In a similar manner, except that the largo body of water, having absorbed much heat during tho summer, cools off In A Michigan Orchard. tho fall more slowly than tho atmos phere, and hence It tends to keep the temperaturo v.lthln Its zone of Inllu enco warmer than It would otherwise, bo. It Is because of these reasons that peaches are grown with marked suc cess and Injury to the crops by ad verso temperaturo conditions Is com paratively Infrequent in the portions of Now York and the province of On tario that border Lako Ontario; In Ohio, along Lako Erie, In south- 1 western Michigan, on Lako Michi gan, and In somo other districts which nro adjacent to largo bodies of water. As a rulo, the zone of Influence of bod les of water, such as those named, Is rather narrow, usually not extending back from the shore moro than a few miles. As a rule, it Is doubtless safe to as sume that a site having a moderata slope In somo direction Is to be pre ferred for orchard purposes, other , things being equal, to one that Is lovel. One having a slopo will usually have better soil and atmosphere drainage than a lovel area.
