DIEGO'S DESPAIR

ESCONDfDO, Aug. 7.-'It strikes
me- saws Secretary j. H. Heath Of the
Eseondido Chamber Of Commerce
that San Diego county might profit
IN the matter of extending our pub
LEFTY by the plan which has lust been
put into operation by the board: of
supervisors of Imperial colNqty-.-thc
making Of nine OF the principal offic-
ers Of the county a special publicity
bureau. They are ON the j0b every
minute, and go out Of Their way, If
necessary to spread the gospel of the
Imperial Empire.
"The nine officials have orgaAized
and have adopted as their slogan, a
Farmer on Every Forty, which means
that as general proposition each 40

"Nont j. Reid, tax collector of I'M
perial county, who has held down the
office the past decade, is one of the
nine county publicity boosters. With
his family he has been spending a va
cation on Palomar Mountain, IN north
ern San Diego, county. He is SAID to
have discoursed ON the inducements
of the valley whenever there was the
least show OF an opening. Speaking
to the editor Of the Palomar Bugle for
pubicalion Reid said:
"1mperiai county's assessed valua-
tion for 1920 amounts to $70.060.000,
while the total production for the same
year is. estimated at $86,000,00O, or
$l4,00G000 more than the assessed val
uation. do not believe this can be
equalled by any other county in the
United States. Most of the ranches
contain from so to GAO acres and some
even more, and as the rancher' depends
largely upon hired help fer making and
harvesting his crops he does, not al
ways get satisfactory results} In my
opinion the correct solution for this
situation is "A Farmer on Every
Forty Think what that would mean!
Where we now have a population Of
$4,000 we would have one of 25G,O00
The valuation would increase and our
population would double many times
over. Therefore feel that our slogan
"A Farmer on Every Forty is the
IprOper proposition"
