This interesting view about mu-
nicipal affairs comes from the Pitts
burgh Gazette-Times: Councilman
w. Y English favors appropriating
every year about one-quarter of a
mill on taxable values of city real
estate to maintain a fund for street
repairing. instead of the present sys-
tenn of appropriating only a small
sum. The latter policy. he thinks.
tends to allow the streets to get
into such bad condition that repav-
ing is necessary oftener than should
be necessary. He will bring up the
subject when council meets to pre-
pare the 1920 budget"

GREAT FUTURE

An Interesting Contrast Be
tween former Disastrous

and Season Just Ended
PLENTY OF ROOM
FOR EXPANSION
Crops May Double in Size,
But Growers will Continue
To Get Top Prices as the
First in Market.

q hear that Imperial valley, this
year, sold more cantaloupes than there
are men. wcmen and children in the
country said C. d. Fites, salesman
from Los Angeles, who is in Ell Cen
tor today, "and that they netted the
growers about million and three
quarters. Some dividend that, but it
reminds me Of a different story |
was told on my visit to this valley
several years ago.
at was, as | remember the second
season for cants. The year before
the growers who raised them had got
ten fabulous prices and as a result
everybody took a hand at the game
and filled their nights with dreams
of sudden riches. l suppose the total
crop must have been at least third
of his years big crop but it didn't
bring any riches to anybody. The
growers didn't know how to grade or
pack and the markets hadn't been de-
veloped. To make bad matters worse
there had been storms in the Millde
West ard trains were held up. The
valley wasn't good place to sell goods
that year. All one heard everywhere
was the failure of the cant market
and the losses on the cant acreage.
81 remember that everyone seemed
to think that the trouble was that
there had been more cants raised than
people could eat and suppose it must
have been two or three years before
this delusion was wiped out by increas-
ing returns on increasing crops for,
Of course, the whole trouble was due
to ineXperience all along the line; in
experience in growing, grading, pack
ing and marketing.
"This valley is doing fine, but it
can raise a whole lot more cants and
watermelons and early vegetables and
produce of this sort and as long as
quality is watched find a market at
high prices for them. The advantage
you've got is that you are first in the
market. Your stuff gets there where
the people are hungry for it and don't
mind the price.
81 look for the day, and I don't
think it is very far distant, when you'll
be raising twice the number of cants
you do now and will get good money
for them. The same aplies to all
early stuff.
"This getting there first is a great
advantage. The fellow who comes in
second may be able to beat the early
bird on quality but the edge is taken
off the appetite and he can't get the
returns"

HERTEL LEAVES
FARM BUREAU

Today is the last day of J. P. Her
tells service as assistant farm advisor
which position he resignea several
days ago to accept the appointment of
SmithHughes instructor of Agricul-
ture in connection with the high school
and farm boy clubs.
Hertel became assistant farm .ad-
visor in November, 1917, and his tire
less energy has contributed to the
than doubling of membership in the
Imperial Valley Farm bureau since
that time.
The Smith-H Hughes act, under
which his appointment is made pro-
vides for a Federal appropriation in
high school districts where there is an
equivalent local support Of the work
in agriculture. 1t requires that half
of the time Of the instructor be given
to actual projects on the farms car
ried on by boys and girls without dis
elimination, regardless of whether or
not they are high school students.
1t offers wide field for Hertel's
useful activities. There will be club
organization and competition among
the boys and girls to see which can
make the best score in the production
of crops on measured acres and in
every other line Of agricultural work.
There will be collateral demonstration
and experimental work but this will
relate to the practical competitions
to get results.
Hertel left today for San Diego
where he will remain until he is cured
of desert sores with which he is af-
flicted. He will then go to Los An
geles to confer with Smith-Hughes
instructors there and then on to Sacra-
mento to the state fair. He will take
in Berkeley on his return and confer
with Chief Cohcheron of the Farm Ad-
visors and other experts and return
home to enter upon his duties at the
high school on September Is.
