cABsAeEs AND cANTALoUPEs
Red-Ink Returns Arouse Suspicion That Somebody Plays Shell
 Game.
(Brawley News)

Our neighbors in the county seat are in sackcloth and ashes, or are executing war dances over the im- aginary remains of divers and sundry commission men who have played the old game on the aforesaid county seat pilgrims and left the latter hold ing the sack on the cabbage ques- tion. Cabbages were $40 per ton till most of the crop had passed into the hands of the commission men, and then the prices fell so low they can not be quoted, and there is real grief in big chunks in El Centro.
 There is a moral hidden in this story, which very much resembles the detail of the vulgar shell game of the circus precincts, and the only ray of light in the whole cloud of grief is in the lesson others who have anything like produce to sell may get from it..
 The cantalOupe market started out briskly-so did the cabbage market and now it is of record that prime melons are selling in the east at $2.25 which is hardly enough to pay the freight and charges of commission men. If. from no won to the end Of

IMPERIAL VALLEY BOOSTERS
EI Centro Men Have Parade of Their Own and Distribute Handsomely
 Q Illustrated Literature
L. A. Times.l

One of the features of yesterday afternoons activities was an i'm promptu parade arranged by crowd of boosters" for Imperial Valley They were headed by Mayor Pearson of Fl Centro, J. Stanley Brown, Trustee of that city, John B. Baker, county re- corder of Imperial county, and editor of the Desert Farmer, and Tom Atkin- son, a merchant of Fl Centro and MT. Pellet, one of the owners of the Hotel Oregon, the famous hostelry of the American Nile country.
 These men secured banners for their carriages, and fell in behind the loenix Indian Band as it paraded the streets, giving their forceful yell of Imperial Valley-Greatest Place on Earth" From their carriages they distributed 800 copies of special il- lustrated edition of the Calexico Chronicle, and 400 copies of the Desert Farmer, fully illustrated with late Im- perial Valley views.
 Last night the Imperial valley boosters" kept open house at the Hollenbeck Hotel, and their impro- vised yells, all boosting the newest county of California, were to be heard often.

the melon season these returns do not rise-and they are not likely to do so-what advantage have the mel on men over the cabbage pilgrims? 1? If red ink returns come back to jar the melon men, what can they do about it?
 Why would it not be wise to se- lect a good business man from among the melon men and levy an assess ment on all growers for funds to send him to visit the eastern markets and see for himself If things are as rep resented. Such a move would have checkmated the cabbage pirates and lessened the desire of the cabbage men have to kick themselves, and would certainly give much mental re- lief to the men who have yet received no returns. No honest commission man would find fault and any other need not be considered. The crucial time is in the heel of the season. when all acreage is nearly up, and there are no more melons to ship.
 The alternative is to wait/and sweat blood and then to organize war dance, just as the El Centro men are doing now. It is up to the melon men to fish or cut bait.

10 raise chickens this summer can find
as goof stock fowls on the local market
just now for this purpose as though ne
were TO secure his stock from breeders
Of fancy poultry. And. not only this.
but Il IS possible for him TO acquire Il
at considerably reduced prices.
The coops displaying chickens outside
the various poultry proGuCe houses have
lately been filled with a better class OF
fowls than mas been tie case az any
time since last Fall. Brown Ieghorns and
barred Plymouthrocks are In the major
ity and IN several cases cOops of white
PlymouthroCks have been offered for
sale.
According 70 dealers, most Of the hens
that are now being bought are for stock
purposes rather than table use. The
stock is .lnUCh superior 20 the average,
they art, although IL IS bought at
prices which are equivalent with those
based upon the constructive demand OF
the fowls.
