that quantity.
The pea raising industry has grown
to total of better than 100 carloads
and this year promises to see triple
the acreag eplanted in telephone and
other staple varieties Of table peas,
which thrive here very nicely. In
peas. as in other things grown here,
Imperial valley has the advantage of
an earlier ripening product than has
any other part Of the state, with the
result that the highest prices are OBJ
tainable. First pea shipments this
year began on Jan. 30.
Onions have also proved a valuable
crop here, the estimated shipment for
the season being about 100 cars.
Tomatoes also have been steadily
increasing staple and the average an
nual yield now is about $50 carloads.
The acregae being planted in this sue
culent vegetable is constantly increas-
ing.
Summer squash, carrots, turnips and
other varieties of root vegetables are
also shipped from the valley every
year in proportionately larger guam
titles, and bringing price commen-
surate with an early seasons demand.

Every variety Of summer squash,
pears, turnips, carrots, spinach, let
tuce and all other root vegetables
grown here find their way to the east
ern tables several weeks before those
grown in any other section of the state
can be gathered for shipment.
While 5000 acres were planted to
lettuce and spinach in the valley for
the 1919-20 season, the market for no
known cause seemed not to prove a
lucrative one, with the result that,
while there should ordinarily be about
2400 cars on the market the seasons
distribution will scarcely approximate
more than 1900 cars. In spinach alone
more than 500 cars We're shipped.
The lettuce and spinach industry
was inaugurated in the valley during
the season of 1914-15 when bu two
carloads were shipped out of the val
ley. The business grew until the sea-

VICE PROBE IS
ONT|NUEO
BY GRAND
JURY
New Jury Meets at Court
house; Witnesses Called
in Recent Vice Probe Are
Again Before Inquisitorial
Body; Much Interest.

1HE new grand jury summoned
several days ago by Judge
Phil ID. Swing met this MORN
ing at the court house for the first
meeting Of what is expected to be
series of meetings.
The meeting of the jury came as q
surprise as it had been anticipated the
first meeting would not be held until
the Goth.
From the witnesses seen entering
and leaving the room it was assumed
that the vice probe was being delved
into by the inquisitorial body. Partic-
ularly did some of the witnesses who
were known to have testified before in
relation to the affairs OF former chief
of police, c. T. Hill, appear before the
grand jury and from this it was as
sumed that a re-investigation of the
charges brought against him was in
progress.
1t is definitely known that the indict-
ments against Hill and his son will be
reviewed. District Attorney E. r.
Simon has said that all evidence will be
presented this jury which was present
ed the last one.

ity probe into the affairs of the county
highway commission, a probe that will
be welcomed by all of Imperial county,
with the possible exception of the COM
mission.
Other matters which Judge Swing
drew to the attention of the Jury will
in all probability be investigated.
The personnel of the grand jury con-
sisted OF three women and 16 ranchers.
The women qualifying for duty Were;
Mrs. Leroy Holt, wife of the president
of the First National Bank; Mrs. Ada
Jones, secretary of the board of public

Russia's Warning

Many we'll meaning and thoroughly
patriotic Americans, are today feel
ing desire for betterment of con-
ditions in this country. We hope
the time shall never come when we
shall say no improvement is possible
for then, indeed, there will be little
left to live for. But in our anxiety
for more perfect freedom let us take
Russia for only what she is worth.
We have it from the lips of Count
Tolstoy that only 80 per cent of the
people of Russia can read or write.
That the government of Russia is as
We all know in the hands of the in
dustrialists Of the cities, who num-
ber but Is per cent of the people of
the country. This statement is borne
out by other observers. He also said
that the Government of the Bolshev-
lists is the rule of the lowest class
of Russia's rif-raff-as to this We
cannot say. There is an old addage,
"A stream can rise no higher than its
source" How can a government es.
tablished by at least only a minor
ity and that an ignorant minority
serve for the models of an enlighten-
ed world.
Let the example of Russia serve
for what it really is, the picture Of
the condition we should fee farthest
from copying.

Cultivate Your Wire Worm

Mr.. c. E. Melville of Alpine, while
in town the other day, gave his views
of the wire-worm in the County AS
riculturalist's office, which we have
heard seconded by other farmers
We repeat his observation here for
the constellation of the farmers at
large and We would be glad if any
farmer who has seen evidence sim
liar TO that which MIR. Melville cited
or if he has a different opinion We
would be much obliged if he would
call or write to the County Agent
stating his view upon the matter,
In the multitude of council there is
much wisdom. He says that he has
noticed that in new land where the
land laid up loose and where it was
impossible to cultivate with a bar
weeder or farm the ground or the
ground was full of crevices that the
following year the wire worm was
considerably worse than in land
which was we'll titled the preceding
year. He also says that his observa-
tions prove conclusively, that where
the ground is worked down and a
good firm seed bed is developed with
the clods upon the top and the dust
underneath that a great deal better
yield is received the coming year.
He also says that in his experience
narrowing wheat in the spring has
proved of no benefit only to kill
weeds. We would like to hear from
some other farmers on these three
points. Please let us know.
