BICELOW TO TAKE

VEGETABLE UNION
Civic, Financial Bodies In
Valley Back Plan of
Cooperation

Considerable impetus has been given
TO the cooperative marketing move
ment in the Imperial Valley during the
past few days, by the endorsement and
support that has been given to the
Imperial Valley, Vegetable and Melon
Growers Association, by the civic or
ganizations and financial institutions
Of Imperial Valley as well rs the action
taken by the state department of agri-
culture in taking charge of the member
ship campaign.
The announcement As made i'll Los
Angeles by the state department of
agriculture, that Fred y. l}igclow,
chief Of the division of markets, will
personally take charge of the member
ship campaign drive of the Imperial
Valley Vegetable and Melon Growers
Association, and that he will stage nu-
merons meetings in various parts of
the valley, with groups of growers,
civic organizations, farm bureaus, as
well as conducting scrieS of meetings
III the schools in that section.
Mr. Bigclow, with James i. Britt, his
assistant spent the greater portion of

l say these things from knowledge
of what has already been accomplish

in these predictions.
10000 Flights, Nome Fatal
Commercial aviation is already a.
success Regular lines have been es.
tablisheA in many parts Of the coun-
try, and are operating successfully.
Where thoroughly responsible con-
Germs are doing the flying, accidental
are almost unheard c.. Reports col
lccted by our organization show that
over a period of IL months, 900 COM
mercial. aircraft made l30,736 flights,
travelling 2,907,245 miles, without q
single fatality.
During the last IA months, the L. 8.
air mail service has Travelled nearly
2,000,000 miles with only one fatality.
Most of the accidents you read about
are caused by ''gypsies or "stunt.
ers and commercial flyers don e
stunt They know that no human
pilot is as slick as the law Of gravity.
Except for the seaplanes, which can
90 up or come down wherever there 81
water, the present chief barrier to the
development of commercial aviation isI
the lack Of landing fields.
Consider the situation in New York.
An airplane can bring a passenger
from Washington to the landing field
in Garden City, Long Island, in twoI
hours. But it takes another hour to'
convey the passenger By motor to Wall
Street.
1t should be practical to roof over
Grand Central Terminal or other
railroad yards with steel girders and
glass, thus providing aircraft landing
facilities in the heart of the city. I
predict it is only q matter OF short
time until such spaces are provided in
every large city.
Flying Cost Coming Down -.
Flying costs are bound to come down
as the public learns it has nothing to
fear in using properly operated air
ways Quantity consumption of air.
plane tickets will eventually bring
rates for high speed air travel within
a reasonable distance of the rates for
slowef rail travel.

however, that the immediate develop

TELLS FARMER WAY
RID TO GRAPEFRUIT
OF FIRE ANT PEST
Farm Advisor Tells Ant
Formula and How To
Apply To Tree

Recently there has come to the at
tention of grapefruit growers in the
valley q small red ant which apparent
" is doing considerable damage to the
young trees, which were, set out last
spring. These ants have been identi-
fled rs the fire ant and can be con
trolled by n poison which is commonly
used for the native ants of the state.
The formula used is:
White arsenic ounces
Caustic da..............-...........2 ounces
Sugar ......................-....- pound
Water ............................. pint
After this poison is made it should
be placed in small cans to prevent
evaporation with only Il small nail hole
poked in the top to allow the ants to
get in. Excelsior or cotton waste should
be put in the cans for the ants to run
around on and the poison should be
about ian inch deep in the cans.
A repcllant which is often used for
ants is sodium fluoride. Only about a
rtcaspoonful per tree is used and this
is scattered in Il small circle around
the trunk Another more or less salts
factory repellant is to dip bruder twine
lin saturated solution of mercuric
chloride, dry the twine and then tie
it around the trunk of the tree Such
"a strong solution of mcrcuric chloride
might injure the tree if the twine is
tied in contact, with the bark, so it
might be well to put n protecting layer
of cotton underneath the twine.
Z These last two recommendations are
not in the form of poisons but simply
to keep the ants from crawling up the
tree trunks. It is not known how effec
tive they will be in this case, but they
have proven very satisfactory when
used in other districts and with other
species Of ants.
