GAMF. WARDEN WARNS
AGAINST TROTLINES

Game Warden Joe NJ. Caughman
has requested The Dispatch News to
print the law prohibiting the use of
trotlines in clear water streams, and
ponds, and to state that the law will
be strictly enforced against violators.
Some of this form of fishing has been
done in Lexington county in the past,
due, no doubt, to the fact that people
have not acquainted themselves .vith
the exact provisions of the law,
The act follows:
THE catching of game fish shall be
with hook and line only in all clear
water streams and waters of the state.
Gill nets (not to extend more than
half way across stream, lake or
pond), traps, seines trOtlincs or other
device which does not block the pass
age Of fish in streams may be used
in the muddy streams of the state:
Provided, They be not used within
100 yards of the mouth of clear
water streams emptying into the
same: Provided, further, That a seine
or net may be used in fishing between
the first day Of September and the
first day of May. No traps, nets or
other devices shall be used at the
mouths or inside of any rice field
bitches. The tickling. pegging or
catching Of game fish by any means
except rod and line, or hand line. or
single set line outside Of beds. is
strictly forbidden.
The penalty for the violation of
this law is not less than $40 and no
moro than S1O0, or prison sentence of
ten to thirty days.

ADDRESSES
OPEN FORUM At
STATE T.CHURCH

Declaring that the majority of the
crimes of today, which according to
statistics, are forgery and bad checks,
are committed by young men between
| the ages of 1S and 25 and can be at
tributed to the mans desire to spend
money on girls, Charles E. Scott, de-
putty district attorney, addressed the
open forum at the State Street Chris
/ tiad church last night.
A local condition exists in Ell Centre
that is not particularly true in other
parts of the United States, said Mr..
Scott, during his address. The fact
that we are situated so close to the
Mexican border line and can be gen
orally considered border town, makes
conditions more acute here than else
where, he pointed out. Because of the
regularity large number of unde-
sirables float into the Valley and Ell
/ Centre, being the county seat.
Drugs also have played an import
ant part in increasing the number Of
criminals in the past few years, Mr..
Scott stated. This type of criminal
is more dangerous than others, be-
cause of the effect the drug habit has
on the mans mental condition.
The subject of "Crime Wave" was
treated in a general way by the de-
putty district attorney and he localized
but very little. He pointed out the
methods of combat that are being
enforced in the larger cities in the east
and middle west.
The laxity of the law, the lack of
proper training, the passage of unen-
forceable laws and the crude methods
Imperial Valley press., 1921-01-04

of operations by law enforcing bodies,
were given by Mr.. Scott as the reason
for present conditions. He pleaded for
heavier sentences and speedier trials
for evildoers as a means of overcom-
ing the crime wave.
In emphasizing this point he quoted
the chief magistrate Of New York who,
said "There is more law in police
mans club than in the courts" or
again bringing into practice the old
maxim, can ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure"

S5,000,00O VALUE
OF BIG PRUNE CROP

BERKELEY, Cal, Jan. Alive
million dollars is the value of the
prune crop of California, according
to H. NE. Butterfield of the division of
agricultural education of the Uni
versity of California.
This state leads all other states in
the production of plums and prunes,
and this crop, taken as whole, sur
passes any other single fruit in Tho
state, in point of bearing trees" he
said.
Butterfield in announcing these sta
tlstlcs at recent meeting here have
short history of the coming of this
fruit to California. He said:
"Plums were growing in the gar
dens of the Spanish missions when
| George Washington was president.
The first real stimulous to the indus
try was given in 1856 by Louis Pell-
Ter, who brought over from France
scions of the prunes d'Agens or
French prune. These he planted in
his gardens located in the place where
now stands Santa Clara. The first
exhibit of dried fruit of which there
is a record was held at the state
fair in 1868. About 1870, large COM
mercial paintings were set out, and
in this year also the first Japanese
plums were introduced into Califor-
