To knock that fellow down.

30 ACRES To
Be PLANTED
I D TABLE.
c R A PES
Great New Vineyard to Be
Established in North End
of Valley by Whittier Cap
italiSt

A transaction of great Importance
to Imperial Valley vineyard industry
was completed yesterday with the
signing of contracts for the planting
OF eighty acres of grapes northeast of
Calipatria. Through the efforts of
L. M. Montgomery, Of the Imperial
Valley Farm Lands Association, Hugh
f. Kent, of Whittier, the man with the
money, and Xavier Berrote, the man
with the expert knowledge of grape
culture, were brought together, the
meeting resulting in Mr.. Kent's sign
ing contracts to finance one of the
biggests vineyards in Imperial Val
ley.
This land is known as the SH Of
the SEA of Sec. 15-11-14, and is
about two miles southeast of inland,
and this rich sandy soil seems esoe-
cially adapted to early grapes.
The entire tract will be planted at
once to Malagas and Thompson seed
less grapes with the exception Of
about two acres, which will be reserv-
ed for the modern cottage which will
be erected, and the planting Of dates,
grapefruit and other trees, and this
tract will be made the show place of
the valley. No expense will be spared
in putting this holding on paying
basis, and, according to statistics, Il
will take but a very short time for
this to be accomplished. horticultural
Commissioner Waite is authority for
the statement that $40O profit per acre
is very conservative estimate for
vineyards. This would bring the graz
flying sum of $4,000 for one years
crop. AS matter of fact, the yinc-
yards now in bearing in the valley av-
eraged much more than that amount
On the A. Logan ranch $500 was real
lied from just one-half acre OF
Thompson seedless grapes last season.
Only rooted vines will be planted
on this big acreage, which will insure
early returns, as grape vines grow
several feet in one season, and the
fact that Imperial Valley grapes arc
on the market from two to four weeks
earlier than anywhere in the state of
| CALIFORNIA; or probably the United
States, insures ready market at
fancy prices.
This big deal is doubtless the fore
runner of hundreds of acres which Will
be planted to vineyards in the next
year or two. The recent visit OF the
president of the Raisin Growers AS
sociation of Fresno was significant, az
it was rumored that he was looking
over the grape possibilities OF the val
ley for some clients who believe the
valley is the coming grape and citrus
country of the state.

BORDER CHINATOWN
is MUCH FUSED UP

MEXlCALl, Dec. 9.-MeXlcails S
Chinatown is disturbed over the re-
cent official announcement from Mex
leo City that all Chinese immigrating
to Mexico must possess at time OF
their arrival at least $3.50 in gold. As
the local Chinatown is the clearing
house for practically all the Chinese
who come to Lower California and
finally work their way into the Unit
ed States, the system of smuggling
Orientals into California is expected
to be hit hard blow. Heretofore no
restriction was placed on Chinese en-
tering Mexico, but unemployment in
this country has resulted in thou
sands of idle Mexicans who are un-
able to compete with Chinese labor,
condition which resulted in the
newest presidential decree of exclusion
lof paupers.

BOYS of Y. NJ. c. A. After Fund
to Keep Things MOpin0

The dads and mothers Of the $50
boys of Imperial county who enjoy
their membership in the Y. M. c. A
groups are to be given the opportun.
ity to keep the work going next year
Few of the folks here in the valley
really appreciate what wonderful
work the "Y" is doing.
Right now there are over one thou
sand fellows actively engaged in the
Y. M. C. A. work, under the leader
ship of County Secretary w. f. Stew
enson Of Imperial. In the HI Y Club
the Y. M. C. A. High School organiza-
ton, there are 395 young n.er. Boys
of the grammar schools are enrolled
on the boy scout idea with about 450
in the various patrols.
Although these 2G groups of Eel
lows are on the go the year around
there is not one cent membership fee
required from anyone. Sarvice-tc

ly everyone is familiar with the
Thrift" and Cleanup" campaigns
that they launched last year.
The Y summer camp in the Lagu-
mas has been every valley lads idea
of bliss since 1919. Thai year 3S at
tended. In 1920, C8, nearly double
the previous years number, enjoyed
the pine trees, the bracing, cool
breezes and the "eats." This year the
number practically doubled again, 11O
attending. The Y. M. C. A. have Sc
cured a 15-year lease from the gov
ernment on their camping ground at
Laguna, assuring them of one OF the
finest outing places in California.
Naturally, all these activities cost
money, but it is surprising how little
the budget is for the coming year.
From past years experience as basis
the Y. M. c. A. feels certain tnat they
can handle their 1900 membership on
a budget of $4,000. When one con-
siders that this sum pays the salary OF
the secretary, his auto upkeep. the
running of the county headquarters
office and the hundred and one other
expenses, $4,000 seems inadequate.
However, $4,000 will put the "f'
across to the fellows who need it for
the next year. The campaign will
start Tuesday, upon the arrival Of Mr..
McDill, member of the international
committee, and day or two later Mr.
Cole and Mr.. Knapp, members Of the
state committee, will be here.

''OVER THE HILL
MAKES APPEAL
TO THE HEART
Powerful Mother Lore Photo.
play Is Attracting Rig
CrONds to Palace Theater

One Of the great epoch making
photoplays Of many years is the beau
tiful William Fox phodrama of mo-
ther love, entitled "Over the Hill,"
which was shown for the first time in
Ell Centre at the Palace theater last
might to an. audience which taxed the
capacity of the house.
Founded upon the famous poem BY
Will Carleton, this simple story of the
devotion of a mother for her children
in spite of the trials and tribulations
in which they subject her, is one of
the most appealing and lovable stories
ever screened. Staged under the d.
rection of Harry Millarde, it has re-
lied for its great strength with the
public upon the simple theme and
plain story of a mother and her FAM
lily whom she carefully rears and pro-
tects.
There is no suggestion Of big mas
lsive scenes, no spectacular effects, no
crowds--nothing but the simple,
thrilling and powerful story that
touches the heart Of all humanity and
brings everyone to realize the love
and affection with which mothers
memory should always be revered.
The story Of "Over the Hill' deals
with mother, acted by Mary Carr,
who endeavOrs to raise her children
in the path of righteousness and with
that end in view she makes every sac
|rifice so that her children may have
the proper schooling and comforts.
Unfortunately, her husband is genial
good or-nothing, who even goes so
far as to, become involved in a crime
RATHER ethan work. In. the family,
there are four brothers and two sis
ters. John, the black sheep of the
family, is lovable, harum- arum
boy, who is constantly getting into
mischief, while Isaac, the eldest, is
cad and a hypocrite.
The father, careless, lazy, good for
nothing, is accused of horse-stealing
and circumstances are such that to
protect his father from going to Jail
John takes upon himself the burden of
the crime.
Three years pass. John is releas-
ed from prison and comes back home
to find his father is dead, his mother
has been neglected by all of the 9TH
|er children, and the hypocrtical Isaac
has even appropriated for his own use
the money that should have gone to
support his aged mother. She has
even been evicted from her own home
and sent to the poor-house. How
John comes to the rescue, saves his
mother from poverty, Furnishes his
bother and drags him
through the, streets, is told in vivid
and dramatic scenes. Johns faithful
sweetheart, ever confident of his inno-
cence, welcomes him with open arms,
and it is happy home indeed when
Il the mother returns to her old home
to find that even though some Of her
children may have neglected her, the
black sheep turns out to be the only
white one, all wool and yard wide.

VALLEY DATE
MEN DEMAND
PROBE Of
F A R N
Investigation of Methods of
IndiO Experimental Sta
ton Put Up to Agricultur-
al Department at Wash.
ingtOn

At the meeting of date growers helG
at Brawley last Tuesday under the
auspices of the Brawley Business
Mems Association for the purpose of
discussing criticisms made of the con-
duct of the government experimental
date farm at Indio, the following reso-
lutions, which are self-explanatory
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas after full and free dis
cussion and consideration of the vari-
Gus affidavits, letters and other doc
uments heretofore presented by the
California Date Growers Cooperative
Association to the Secretary of Agri-
culture, setting forth the necessity for
an Independent and impartial investi-
cation of the activities of the Bureau
of Plant Industry under the manage
ment of DR.. w. T. Swingle and Bruce
Drummond, it is the sense of this
meeting that the vicious, untruthful
and injurious propaganda of said gov
ernment representatives denouncing
the varieties of Persian dates and
Seeding dates now growing to perfec-
ton in the Imperial Valley should be
stopped; and
Whereas said DR.. w. T. Swingle and
Bruce Drummond have failed to offer
any constructive advice or assistance
to the date growers of the Imperial
Valley but have caused great and
heavy pecuniary loss to said growers
by reason of wrong information and
advice being given in regard to the
roofing of offshoots;
"Now, therefore, be it resolved that
we date growers and business men of
Imperial Valley at meeting duly
called by the Business Mems Associ-
alton of Brawley, held at Brawley on
this the sixth day of December, 1921,
do hereby endorse and approve the
said request of the California Date
Growers Cooperative Association to
the Secretary Of Agriculture for an in
dependent and impartial investigation
for the purposes above set forth and
to the end that should such an investi-
cation discover the allegations and
charges as set forth in said request to
be true that then the Secretary of Ag-
riculture or Bureau of Plant Industry
appoint other and more competent men
in the place and stead of the said DR..
w. T. Swingle and Bruce Drummond.
And be it further resolved that q
copy of this resolution be forwarded
to the Secretary of Agriculture and
also to our representatives at Wash
|ington with request to the latter
that should the Secretary of Agricul-
ture fail or refuse to grant an indie
pendent and impartial investigation as
requested that then they bring the
matter before Congress with view
of obtaining relief or an investigation
as by the California Date Growers Co.
Operative Association requested.
