Brought in to Enhance

Although the importations of grape
vines by Imperial county farmers were
not nearly so large in the month Of
March as they were in the months of
January and February, they amounted
to more than half of the total number
of fruit and ornamental trees and
plants imported, indicating that vine
yard acreage is holding the center of
the stage among the farmers of the
valley.
During the month of March 1889
trees and plants were inspected and
passed into the county by Horticul-
tural Commissioner F. w. Waite, ac-
cording to his report to the county
supervisors. Importations of seed of
various kinds numbered 1899 sacks,
while 5095 boxes of oranges, lemons
and apples were passed.
Commissioner Waite's report shows
that during the month Imperial Valley
farmers shipped large quantities of
their products to various markets, let
tuce leading with 1883 cars shipped
making a total of 1888 cars for the
season. Peas and summer squash also
figured in the shipments, 1000 SACKS

TWAIN'S STORY MAKES
FUNNIEST PICTURE

From Mark Twain's story William
Fox has produced a photoplav version
which will please the majority of AM
erican picture audiences. He has taken
modern young American, transplant
ed him in a dream to the sixth CEN
tury when King, Arthur and his
knights of the Round Table held forth
in Britain and then piled one comic
incident on top of naother as the young
fellow proceeds to. Yanekeize and mod
ernize the davs of joust and iron clad
warriors. There is plot of course,
for the Yankee finds envious members
of the court to contend with and also
sixth century vamp to escape from.
1t IS clever satire, and the titles, writ
ten throughout in vein of slang un-
known to Mark Twain, but which make
excellent laugh-getters today, play an
important part.
There are any number of good
laughs from the time the Yankee
awakes to find mounted knight above
him inviting him to "joust." He is
taken to the court of King Arthur and
there with his breezy Yankee famil-
iarity, earns for himself the penalty
of death. But he claims credit for an
eclipse of the sun, and is made the
kings magician. He is then sent out
to rescue maiden, as was customary
among able gentlement of those DAYS.
This he does, and then comes. the
tournament scene, oIc of the bigges.,
IN the picture, historically correct,
pictorially beautiful and screamingly
funny when our indomitable hero
comes out on broncho, dressed in a
cowboy suit to sontend with the pre-
possessing figure in armor. After
this, preaching the doctrine of demo-
cracy, he induces the king to disguise
as peasant and journey forth in
search of adventure. The pair are
captured and about to be hung by the
vampire queen, when the rescue party
sets forth-not on slow moving steeds
but in a flivver made from discarded
armor and a whole battalion of motor
cycles. 1t is a thriller, and at the
same time ludicrous ride over the
mountains.

LITTLE FARM
IDEA FAST
TAKING
HOLD
Grape Growers Are Espe-
cially Favorable to One
Man Plan With Diversified
Planting and Inter Crop
ing.

The "one-man farm" proposition
now being advocated for the Imperial
Valley and endorsed in an outline pre-
pared by the Ell Centre Chamber of
Commerce, has been worked out from
the vineyard:st's standpoint by many
valley grape growers, who advocate
40-acre ranch as being most suitable
for one man. as
According to the plan advised 20
acres in grapes, either the Thompson
seedless or the Malagas, with 10 acres
in alfalfa, and the balance for poultry
and nursery to produce grape stock,
would provide comfortable income
for one family, and yet not require
more work than one man could do. The
10 acres of alfalfa would keep bunch
Of good dairy cows which with the
poultry and eggs would provide liv-
ing for the rancher's family until the
first three years, after which the vine
yard would be producing, and the re-
mainder of the ranch could be planted
to grapes.
Grapes are most adaptable for the
40-acre ranch, according to growers, in
that the crop would be bearing within
three years. and could be cared for by
one man. The crop could be gathered
by the latter part of July, after which
the vines, being given good irriga-
tion, could be left until the following
December.
In so far as the ground is adaptable
the growing of grapes has been point
ed out as one of the most profitable
crops for Valley farmers. Imperial
Valley grapes mature in time to be on
the market much earlier than grapes
from any other section of the United
States and this feature alone allows
the fruit to command price far above
the average market price.
Local vineyardists claim there is
little danger of an oversupply on the
market, as all the land suitable for
grape growing in the valley could
not meet the demand of eastern mar
kets.

S75O,OOO CASH
IS EST Ed
LOOT OF BANDIT
Money Wrappers Left in Stolen
Registered Pouch Indicate
Robbery IS .StHpendOus.
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, April IA mail sack
found bN the police this morning, said
to be registered mail sack stolen by
bandits from postoffice truck yes
terday, contained wrappers which in
dfcated that the robbery was one of
the most stupendous in the recent his
tory of mail and postoffice robbery.
The wrappers found in the torn and
mutilated sack were from packages of
currency of all denominations and so
far as has been estimated, show that
the bandits obtained almost $3.50 900
in cash. 1t is also believed by the po-
lice that the sack contained shipments
of bonds and other valuables that
would add large amount to the total
of the loot. From the best informa-
tion last night it was not thought
that the loss would amount to more
than $4,000.
