Why Pick on Us?

sFlossie B. won the race from
silk Rags" last Thursday evening,
and we supposed all the local fans
were happy. But seems there's got
to be something, left to kick about
after these affairs, SO bunch Of EN-
went and jumped on We scribe on the
Journals report of the race.
By a decidedly liberal lnterpre-
tation of said write-up, they claim
we inferred a poor start for the
second heat, and also, that we claim
ed that Rupert deliberately tried to
lock wheels" We will admit that
a rabidly prejudiced fan could work
himself up to see it that way, but
we also claim that such an inter-
probation is far fetched.
For the second heat, both horses
were in fine form under the wire,
and, as is characteristic of sSilk
Rag" the Hudson horse made a
great squirt, and, as we stated in
the write-up, got away to a two
length lead" We can't see that
the statement throws any mud at
the judges; if it does, we gleefully
retract it.
About the final heat we said,
Rupert made a desperate effort to
gain the pole at the first turn, near
ly locking Wheels but we can't
find in that even the slightest in
ference that Jack deliberately tried
to commit suicide he sure did try
to get in to the pole, and the wheel
clicked against McKahan's gig,
within fraction Of an inch Of lock-
ing.
1t was, as we said last week, one
of the best races ever held in this
vicinity, run fair and square, and
the fastest horse won.

Lettuce Grown on Field Scale.

Lettuce is being grown on a field
scale in the Imperial and Salt River
valleys of California, fields Of from
80 to 40 acres being not extraordinary.
At the height Of the production season
January and February-it is not I'M
common for 26 carloads Of lettuce a
day to be shipped to the middle west
ern and eastern market. This lettuce,
grown under irrigation, is produced by
hand labor and is of extra fine quality.
The industry was developed on COM
mercial1 basis about three years ago,
and during the last two years has
been one Of the leading agricultural
occupations of the state. These local
tiles also produce carrots, peas, cauli-
flower and table beans on a less ex-
tensive scale.
