Springer of Wilmette, passed the House in the Illinois General Assem- bly this week authorizing the establish- ment of an agricultural experiment sta- tion in Cook county. The station would necessitate the appropriation of $35,000 for such a station to be conducted un- der supervision of the Department of Agriculture at the University of Illinois. Cook county, Representative Springer pointed out to the legislators, comprises 300,000 acres of farm land, comprising for the most part truck farms which vield annually between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000 dollars. There are 5,700 farmers in the county. Ninety-two per- cent of the onion sets in the United States are grown in Cook county. The county has the largest acreage under glass of any district of the same size in the world. . . Not a cent has been spent by the state mn experimental work in Cook county Kenilworth Has Hearing On New Zoning Ordinance A new ordinance for the zoning of Kenilworth will be introduced to Ken- worth residents at the first public hearing on Thursday, April 26. .The proposed ordinance for the protection and guidance of Kenilworth develop- ment provides for A. B. and C. resi- dential districts and for D. and E. commercial districts. The C. residential district will be unique along the north shore in that it will allow for the construction of two apartment houses. The territory included in zone C. is a very small section along the western side of the railroad. It will be remembered that Kenil- worth was one of the first municipali- ties to adopt a zoning ordinance after the state law permitting the practice was enacted. Due to a technicality in the ordinance it was declared illegal and since that time Kenilworth has been without protection in that regard o'clock. WOULD ENLARGE RAVINIA FUND North Shore Interested In Project That the entire north shore, ex- tending from Chicago to Lake Forest, is interested in the development of Ravinia as a center of operatic pro- duction is evidenced by the fact that committees representative of the va- rious towns within this territory have been organized for the purpose of procuring a larger guarantee fund for this project. Announcement has been made that the Chicago-L.ake Forest committee, which is one of several similar organ- izations already formed, now numbers forty-six members out of a total of fifty. This committee has mapped out an elaborate campaign which will be launched in the near future. The Chicago-Lake Forest committee will confine its activities to these two communities and will co-operate with the committees which already have been organized to represent FEvans- ton, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe and Highland Park. Will Unite in Drive All of these committees will unite in lending their aid and support to Louis Eckstein, president of the Ra- vinia company, and those who with him have supplied the Ravinia guar- anty in the past. There is to be no change in the management of Ra- vinia, but an increase guarantee fund will, it is asserted, permit of an exten- sion of the summer opera which has made this north shore music center a unique part of the cultural life of the Chicago district. The accomplishments of Ravinia in the past have been so remarkable that they have attracted the attention of the entire music world. Opera has been produced summer after summer on a scale which measures entirely up to the standards set by the great permanent opera-houses. Ravinia has made it possible for the Chicago Sym- phony orchestra to continue its work throughout the entire year, instead of limiting it to the regular concert sea- son at Orchestra hall, and through- out the employment of this body of musicians. Ravinia has had one of the finest orchestras in the world. The educational programs offered free to children have also accomplished much good, and these are to be ex- tended during the coming season.
