pcctcd TO be increased this year. There
have been hea,y shipments Of seed in
To the valley lately which indicates
an increased acreage. The cheerful
news published in The Press of yes
ttrday that the Alfalfa Growers asso-

to enable the producer to carry over
his crop to fatter market has stimu-
lated the hay industry as nothing has
before for many months and the farm

Prime, well conditions beef from the
valley has been findinga ready market
at good prices and the conditions for
the future seem to be optimistic. Fat
hogs find ready market at all times.
The boom in the cotton market has
made many growers regret their cut

BAN PLACED ON
VINES OF NORTH

+. W. Waite, county horticultural
commissioner, has issued the following
notice 70 vincyardists Of the valley,
who are contemplating the importation
Of vines for future planting here;
As there is considerable talk about
planting grapes thiS next season, and
where the grape vines may be obtained
I wish 20 call attention to the fact that
it will not be possible 10 get them
from the northern district. No grape
vines will be admitted from any dis
trict north Of the Tehachapi mountains
Cuttings will be admitted providing
they do not come in contact with the
soil before shipping. This precaution
is taken because Of the grape PhylloT-
era troot aphis) which is very des-
uuctivc to vineyards. Dut to the fact
that very small proportion of the
northern district is free from infesta-
ion, in fact il is not positively known
TO he free. there fore il is advisable to
take no chances. Grape vines shipped
into the county contrary to the law
Will be ordered shipped out OF the

ORGANIZE: |:
SATURDAY
World Famous Crop to Be
Boosted. Farm Bureau
Has Interesting News for
Dairymen and Poultry
men. :.

The grapefruit growers Of the I1a-
perial Valley are at the court house
Saturday morning to complete the or
ganization Of an association by the
adoption Of constitution and bylaws.
a charter having been received some
time ago, from the secretary of state.
The meeting which is to be held ur-
der the auspices of the county farm
bureau is attracting a great deal os
attention and J. w. Reed, perhaps the
largest grower in the valley is already
here for the purpose of taking part
in the meeting.
Mr.. Reed, with other growers, h.
lieves that there is wonderfra Hature
for Imperial Valley grapefruit. "Tho
demand" he says "is away in excess
dred carloads right in Los Angeles,
half that number in San Francisco,
and large number in other large
cities on the coast. | doubt if more
than 40 or so cars will be sent out this
year. So superior is the quality OF the
fruit that it commands big premium
over coast grapefruit, and sells for so
cents to $1.00 per box over Arizona
fruit, and is bought in Washington in
preference to wonderful Florida grape
fruit"
Mr. Reed believes that by coopera.
tive marketing and handling very
handsome profit can be made by local
growers. Every grower approached on
the subject has expressed himself
heartily in favor of an association, and
the meeting Saturday should result in
a big step forward to this most prom
ising industry.
+. l.. Garthwaite, county iaric ad-
visor, who will be the host of the grape
Eeuit men, is also preparing for ses-
son of great activity this Fall and
Winter, and believes that the next
few months will show tremendous
advance in the agricultural interests
of Tie county.
Mr.. Garthwaite has just received
letter of unusual interest to the dany
men Cf the valley from B. II. Olnond,
assistant county agent from the Uni
VerSity of California, in reference TO a
Young Guernsey bull which he ian
ucross at the famous Hollow Hill stock
farm.
This bull calf Mr.. Garthwaite states
is of the highest breeding, the dam a.
vet untested being by Cora's Glen. a
676 pound sire, and the mother of the
dam of the young bull was 4S0 pound
r~oducer as 4 vnar old. The sira
of the calf is Carl Masher and his dam
was the famous Caroline of Chiimark,
723 pound cow. This calf can be
procured by any dairyman in the val
ley for $50, and Mr.. Garthwaite who
has the original papers, asks anyone
interested to communicate with him.
Mr.. Garthwaite also wishes to call
attention of the poultrymen of the val
ley to the fact that the time is grow
ing short before the start of the South
ern California Farm Bureau egg lay
in~ contest. and that there is room
left for only so entries, and that il
would be a wonderful advertisement
for the valley if some of our poultry
raisers were to have high record hens
in the contest. That there are hens
in the valley capable Of making higt
reeords Mr.. Garthwaite believes and
he wants to have the pleasure Of for
W&rding Il few entries.

To SECURE:
RELEASE:
Brawley Banker Tires Of
Orange County Jail and
Files Super Writ for Ad-
mission to Bail.

Another twist in the ease of Peter
Il. Hovley, the wealthy B2aWley bank :
er and rancher, appeared Yesterday
Il. the formal notice ro I. s. Attorney
O'tonnor, in Los Angeles thai - 10
a. m. Monday, Il motion will be made
to have Hovley admitted to bail pend
lnG the determination cf his writ Of
error, which has been prosecuted since
his conviction on white slave charge.
The motion will be presented in San
Francisco before the United States
Circuit court of Appeal and Assistant
U. 5. Attorney Dickson will appear III
behalf of the government.
Hovley was indicted by the Federal
grand jury for violation of the Mann
white slave act, in having brought his
niece, Mrs. William Staalduynen form
erly Barbara Phillips, from Chicago
10 Los Angeles for an immoral pur-
pose, He entered a plea of guilty %
the charge before Judge Bledsoe last
February II, and on March he was
sentenced to pay fine of $1,000 and be
committed 10 the Orange county Jail
where he is now, for one year. The
fine was paid.
Four extensions of time were
granted Hovlcy and he did not begin
to serve his term until last July 2G.
A motion was made before Judge
Bledsoe previous to the expiration of
the last extension Of time for q W.T.
Of error, but this was denied. Then
the matter was taken to the L. S. Cil-
cuit Court Of Appeal, and he was al
lowed a writ of error as matter of
right. This is now pending.
But 70 petition for writ Of error
in the case was filed as provided BY
law within sixty days Of the entry Of
the Judgment in order to ALLOW the
defendant the advantage Of q wit Of
supersedeas that would have had the
effect of holding W all further pre-
ceedings until the fate of the writ Of
error had been determined.
In the petition for the admission Of
Hovley to bail, the charge is mate
that he w.\ ill advised by ms aytor-
ney," who at the time was George
Woodruff, and it is intimated that the
Court (Judge Bledsoe) is preudceti
against him.
Theodore Stensland, who is now
handling the case for Hovlev. says
that the indictment to which his clcny
pleaded guilty is faulty but no attack
was made on the instrument previous
to the entry Of the plea of guilty by
the Brawley banker and business man.

"In q recent address before a re-
Tresenativc group of bankers in New

lack of cooperation between business
men. bankers and manufacturers in

led to the creation of local depressions
which are entirely unnecessary, and

its problems as purely local, whereas,

NO body of men are in Il better
