AUTO DEALERS
COMPLETE PLANS
FOR APRIL SHOW

AT an enthusiastic meeting OF the
Imperial Valley Automobile Dealers
association held at the Main garage
last night the various committees
made their reports in regard to the
coming automobile show, all of which
showed that considerable progress is
being made toward rounding out an
event that will long be remembered
in the history of the valley.
The show committee, consisting OF
Charles Merralls and A. ?. Williams,
reported that they had obtained the
consent of Otto Jeancon to act as man
ager of the show, and recommended
that he be appointed at once, which
was done by a unanimous vote of the
association.
J. c.. Buchanan of the Automobile
Club of Southern California was pres
ent and called the attention OF the
dealers to the fact that they could
protect themselves from loss in
instances where cars sold on lease con-
tracts were being used for the trans
portation of liquor. by inserting a
clause in their contracts which would
give them the right to seize the car
in question.
l.. A. jackson, Cadillac agent. who
was present although still on crutches,
and declared that he would exhibit and
assist in every way possible to make
the show a success. He also donated
his building which adjoins the mair
pavilion.
With the appointment of a manager
and the committees working overtime
as the days go by real progress vii
mark the remaining days of prepara
ton and the show will open with {
blare on the scheduled day.

by the horses and the men can handle
about 80 per cent more hay.
Save Labor on the Stack.
The push rake furnishes the most
economical method of hauling hay to
the stack. barn, or hay press if the
distance is not much more than one
fourth of a mile. One man, or boy,
with a good push rake and a team
used to the work will handle three
times as much hay as two men with
small rack on high-wheeled wagon.
Stacking hay with a push rake and
an overShOt stacker mounted on
wheels eliminates nearly all Of the
back-breaking work OF the old pitch
fork method. With a yield of one TO
one and a half tons TO the acre, two
men on the stack can easily handle all
the hay brought in by three push
rakes, accomplishing a vast saving in
labor and hay over the pitchfOrk
method. Another method not so good
but still vastly better than the pitch
fork method is a stacker equipment
with a double harpoOn fork. The out
fit can be made at home and will cost
very little compared with the labor 1t
saves. but harder work is necessary
to get the hay on the stack than with
the OvershOt stacker.
When hay is to be baled from the
field, one man by working in the after
noon, can round up enough hay which
has been punched by push rakes to
keep the press going next morning I'M
til the dew is gone from the hay in the
windrow When the hay is not thus
rounded up the crew will lose two
hours or more on mornings when
there is a heavy dew.
Carelessness in setting the press
may result in loss of labor. When the
press is properly set two men can get
plenty of hay to it from the stack.

Don't sleep on your left side, as
that creates a pressure on the heart.
Don't sleep on your right side, as
it interferes with the action of the
right lung.
Don't sleep on your back, as that is
bad for the nervous system.
Don't sleep on your stomach. as that
causes a pressure bad for the diges-

COMMERCIAL ACREAGE
OF VEGETABLE CROPS
Compared With Last Year Mark
ed Reduction Is Shown.
Estimates Based on Reports Received
From Seed Growers-Increase Is
Indicated for Sugar Beet and
Garden Peas.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The prospective commercial acreage
Of vegetable-seed crops for 1920. COM
pared with last year, shows marked
reductions in the acreage reported for
dwarf snap beans, all beet, carrot, let
tuce, onion seed, radish, spinach. sweet
corn, and tomato seed, while a slightly
Increased acreage is reported for gar
den pole beans, cucumber, muskmelon,
watermelon, parsley, pepper, pump
kin, and Swede turnip seed.
These estimates are based on re-
ports received by the bureau of mar
kets. early in April from commercial
vegetable-seed growers and are as ac-
curate and complete as it was possible
TO obtain at that time.
The estimated prospective produc-
ton for 1920 computed on the basis
of the acreage reported and the av-
erage yield per acre for the four-year
period 1916-1919), compared with that
for 1919, is about So per cent less for
sweet corn and English turnip; 80 per
cent less for dwarf snap beans, celery,
parsnip, and squash; 60 per cent less
for cabbage and radish; and about
so per cent less for garden and mangeI
beet, carrot, onion seed. and spinach !;
while an increase is indicated of 20
per cent for sugar beet and garden
peas and 90 per cent for onion sets.
The estimated acreage and prospect
i've production for 1920 are more COM
parable with those for 1917, and the re-
auctions in acreage and production as
noted should not be taken as an indica-
ton that the vegetable-seed growing
industry in this country is on the de-
cline from that of prewar years.

TREE PLANTING BY ROADSIDE
Shade Is Great Help in Keeping Pave
ment in Prime Condition
Beauty Is Added.

There is a newly discovered benefit
in tree planting by the roadside. 1t
has been learned of late that the
shade or partial shade of roadside
trees is a great aid in keeping the
pavement in prime condition. The au-
thorities tell US that during the hot
days of summer improved roadbeds are
injured by the direct rays Of the sun
and that the partial shade of trees
planted by the roadside enables the
cement or other pavements to stand
much longer unimpaired. Roadside
trees will far more than pay for them
selves by assisting in preserving good
roads. Then there is the beauty of
shade trees, and if fruit trees are
planted think Of the abundance of
peach, plum, pear, cherry, apple and
other fruit trees growing by the road
side which in the aggregate would
amount TO millions of dollars If gen
orally planted through the fruit grow
ing sections of the United States.
