ASPARAGUS CROP
BEST IN HISTORY

The asparagus crop for Imperial
this year promises to eclipse all pre-
vious records.
In the first place, the season opened
fully two weeks earlier than last year,
which meant premium prices for a
longer period than usual. And now.
after the grass" has been going out
in carload lots for more than a week,
the indications are that in former
years, as result of the late cold
weather both here and in the east.
Summed up into a nut shell the season
will spread over longer period with
a greater output at greater returns
all of which spells greater prosperity
and optimism for the Imperial rancher
and Imperial merchants as well.
The asparagus canneries in the
northern part of the state are this
year offering SC the pound for the
asparagus in the Sacramento valley,
which is the highest price ever paid.
This means, of course. that little of
the northern crop will be shipped east.
Reports from some asparagus districts
of the United States indicate that the
crop is short elsewhere.

VALLEY DELEGATES.

Arnold Kruckman, secretary of the
League Of the Southwest, which will
hold a convention in Los Angeles April
/, 2. and in a wire to the Imperial
Valley Press this morning, pleads for
big delegation from the Imperial
valley.
Tuesday the board of directors of
the Imperial Irrigation District decid-
ed to attend in body.
The Ell Centre chamber and the
Associated Chambers of Commerce
are also expected to be represented.
Following is his wire:
Los Angeles, March "a, 1920.
Editor Imperial Valley Press:
At the convention here April 1, 2
and 3, the League of the Southwest
wishes to secure full, free and
comprehensive discussion of all Col
orado river problems. Imperial Val
ley is most vitality interested. Will
you not help to arouse interest so
that Imperial Valley will be strong
ly, substantially and numerically
represented on the floor Of the con-
vention as we'll as on the platform
to present all problems that effect
the destiny Of Imperial Valley. All
organizations, interests and individ-
uals are welcome.

Secretary League of the Southwest.

sors, they will gladly seize upon this
occasion to break away from US; but
il they stick to the old country, then
the charge of oppression is belied by
those who know best. We accept this
crucial test, we are anxious that it
should be applied; if our opponents
shrink from it, judgment goes against
them by default. The good faith of
both parties is then put into such clear
light that in fairness the discussion
must be considered ended.
"The plebiscite offers the only solu-
tion which combines justice with ex-
pediency. 1t would insure the tran
guilty of Europe, since everybody
would be where he desires. On the lib
'erty of nations on their right of self
determination rests our. whole case.
Our principl is in any case fore-or-
dained to prevail after a passing hour
of darkness and we feel proud of hav-
ing thrown in our lot with whatever
is most sacred to humanity"

HARDWARE MEN

Important Projects for the
Control of the Colorado RiU-
er Are Taken UD At Hard
Uare and implement Meeting


That the Ali-Ameriean Canal anC
the projects for control OF the Colo
rado river for the benefit of lmperla
Valley and the great Southwest II
general are attracting the attention OF
men Of Affairs all over the country Is
evidenced by the following report
brought from the monthly meeting OF
the California Hardware and lmple-
ment Dealers association (Southern
division) held in Los Angeles last
Wednesday evening.
w. J. Reid who has recently come
from Hollywood to the valley as buy
er for the Edgar Bros. Company
hardware stores is president of the
association, and presided at the meet
ing which was held in the Los Angeles
Investment Company building. Mr..
Reid and w. A. Edgar represented the
Edgar organization at the meeting.
A letter was read to the association
from E. G. Simmons president of the
Simmons Hardware Company of ST.
Louis, telling them that he had be-
come greatly interested in the All
American Canal project for the I'M
perial Valley, and urging the Califor-
MIA association to take action favorlng
the project. Mr.. Simmons told them
that he had advised his own statesmen
and stores where he might have in
fluence to get in touch with their
representatives in congress and urge
favorable action on the All-American
project. When it is realized that the
Simmons company has more than 600
statesmen on the road. their influence
will be appreciated.
In the discussion that followed the
reading of the letter, there were many
requests for more information about
the plan. w. A. Edgar was called
upon to explain to the assembly some
Of the difficulties Of the present water
system, and to outline the All-Ameri-
can plan. Mr. Edgar explained the
weakness Of having our whole water
supply coming through another coun-
try as it does now, and described the
plan to take the water from the Colo
RADIO river at higher diversion point
and bring it to the valley wholly on
American soil, emphasizing the fact
that thousands of acres now lying arid
could be then brought under cultiva-
ton. : Mr.. Edgar's statement was
very well received, and was followed
by the adoption of resolution by the
association favoring the project.
The association will hold their reg
ular semi-annual meeting next month
in Long Beach at which meeting this
resolution will be brought up again
in order that all members of the or
ganization may be informed and lined
up back Of the plan. This association
has membership of more than 800
with very wide spread influence.
w. T. McFie, the newly elected pres
ident of the Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce, was the honor guest of
this meeting and also spoke in favor
of the All-American Canal. telling the |
assembly Of the favorable action which |
had been taken the same day by the
Los Angeles chamber.

Czecho- Slovakia has claimed parts of
Hungary containing $50 900 persons
of which AZ per cent are Slovak and
81 per cent Magyar or German. Ru-
mania claims territories on which
live about 5,26O,OOO souls of which 80
per cent are Rumanian and 43 per
cent Magyar or German. The popu-
lation of parts of Hungary annexed

is only 22 per cent Jugo-Slav, SO per

man. Count Apponyi continues:
These figures show that the only
principle of organic unity that has
been wanting to Hungarys racial
unity is likewise wanting to the states
artificially built up on her ruins; the
difference consists only in this, that
Hungary was possessed of every other
principle Of unity, while the new states
have none, absolutely none What is
still worse, the leadership in them
will be transferred to races of inferior
culture, the results of which we may
already notice, after one years occu-
patton of the territories torn from
Hungary. There is a wonton destruc-
lion OF cultural values. universities.
high schols and others On the terri
tory occupied by Rumanians, 5000
grammar schools are deserted, the
former teachers having been expelled
and nobody being found to supplement
them. IN consequence of which more
than 200 900 children are left without
education of any sort. There is
conspicuously lower level of public
functionaries and the general preva-
lence of semi-barbarous methods of
government.
PREDICTS UNREST
What can result from this state of
things? Will those people who are
violently severed from their beloved
old associations only to be subjected
to alien government of an inferior
solt-those 100000 Magyars and
Germans torn from Hungary-will
they ever be reconciled to denational-
lzation implying economic losses and
cultural retrogression Can the con-
science of humanity tolerate such
downfall of millions? Anyhow it is
certain that those new constructions,
with no vital principle in them. will be
distracted by the permanence of a
most violent. because most legitimate
lrrldentlsm and that through them
eastern and central Europe will know
no rest, till the equilibrium represent
ed by old Hungary is restored
These facts answer the question
now far the destruction of Hungary
and the constructions planned on her
runs might promote the general well
fare of mankind. 1t would confer on
our part of Europe the following
blessings:
Racial discussions not assuaged
but embittered; permanent unrest, i'm
plying danger of new wars.
Economic difficulties enhanced:
thereby social dangers aggravated.
cultural retrogression in govern
ment learning, general standard of
education.
ATTACKS TREATY

proposed peace-treaty? In it's terms
millions of men would be driven from

ing consulted as to their wishes. In
