Mr. Fowler, aa editor, is to BSUdngratulated on his efforts to give the Valley people a magazine all their own. The anniversary number contains many articles of interest to its readers. They arWwell yrritten and finely printed. In fact, the Mirror is goo<^enough to attract this attention of the Editor of- the Chicago Tribunfe, who, editorially, on Saturday of last w'eek, commented, and we agree with him, 8s follows: .. "The Fox Valley Mirror has completed its first year under the able editorship of Mr. Leonard Fowler. There was need for such a publication and it was met. The Fox valley from the lakes at the north to Ottawa on the Illinois is a geographical unit as rich in historical associations as in scenic beauty. A publication was needed which would remand the dwellers in the valley that they are the inheritors ©f a great pioneer tradition and trustees of as handsome a natural domain as this region affords. 'If not throughout its length, then at least from Dundee south to Oswego, the valley js, for all practical purposes, an economic unit of great productive capacity. Its cities and towns are almost contiguous. Each of the more important communities has its newspaper, but there was need, in addition,, for a publication which would speak for and to the whole valley, reminding the citizens that they had common interests to guard and forward. That need has beer^ met, and ably met." M. E. CHURCH You are Invited to attend services at the M. E. church every Sunday. Sunday school, 10 a. m. Morning worship, fl a. m. Sermon by the pastor, Rev.

ONE-HALF OF COUNTRY S\] IN THE D&OUTH AREA Readers of the Sunday Tribune had an interesting story on the drouth as Written by Frank Ridgway in which he states that half the forty-eight states were not among the drouth "states, according to a report made early this month by the assistant administrator of federal emergency relief. - , The drouth of 1934 will go down in history, but it was not vast enqugh to cover all the area of the United States. ' - In 1934, the driest year ever experienced in this country/ one-half the farmers of thv United States have not known what the other half was doing. While farmers in the dry belts stood by helplessly watching their animals die from thirst and starvation and their crops burn to a crisp, thousands of others were bending their backs to produce enough food and feed to sup? ply this nation with plenty to eat for another year. ' Nine states, mest of- them importaat from an agricultural Standpoint, are expected to produce this year from 2 to 16 per cent higher yields per acre of thirty-two important farm crops than the average during the ten year period from 1921 to 1930, inclusive; according to official tabulations. Twenty:three states, Including the nine that go over the 100 mark, have indicated yields 90 per cent or above the ten-year average. There arc thirty1 states with yields between 81 and 90 per cent of the ten-year average. More fortunate farmihg areas this year are mainly in the extreme eastern and western parts of the country^, together with some southerrF states. The nine states expected to go above the ten-year average on indicated yields per acre of thirty-two important crops combin<)i and their estimated percentages are: Alabama, 116; Georgia,^113; Sbuth Carolina, 110; Arizona, 108; North Carolina, 107; Tennessee, 106; Mississippi, 104!
