Pasadena Star-News: The Colorado
river has done and is doing vast deal
of damage in the Palo Verde valley, III
the east end of Riverside county. Con
gress is being urged to give immediate
relief, and probably will do so. But
the relief that should be given to the
Palo Verde and Imperial valleys in Cali
fornia, and other valleys along the low
er course of the Colorado, should be per
manent relief.
Building of the projected Boulder dam
would remove this portentous menace OF
floods. There will be periodic destruc-
tive overfows until that great work Is
put through to consummation. 1t Will
require several years, it is true, to com
plete that work. But the anticipation
of it would enhearten ranchers in those
low valleys which are subject to occasl.
onal floodings. This prevention OF
floods is only one of the many great
benefits that would accrue from the
building of the proposed dam.

A AN0N.WILTING.. \ Y
TOMATO 'GROW||!f n!

Tn tbe course of work on the selec-
t;on of tomatoes that will resist the
wilt disease, which causes large an
nual loss in the tomato canning states,
the United States department Of agrl-
culture has developed a variety called
Norduke. similar to Stone, but highly
resistant to wilt. -Four othef VIII
resistant varieties have already been
produced, known as the Marvei, "h1ch
is q. medium early tomato selected from
Merveillc des Marches, bearing a heavy
crop of smooth red fruit; the Norton
selected from Stone, producing heavy
Weld of large, smooth, solid red fruit,
which ripens slowly, and therefore
ships well; and Columbia and airing
ton. medium late varieties, selected
from Greater Baltimore.
The Marvel is an excellent variety
for forcing, for medium early truck
ing, and for home gardening. Ihe
Columbia, like the Arlington, which
has been temporarily withdrawn for
nurification, because of mixtures found
in the seed in 1920, is better for can
ming than for table, because of lts
somewhat flat shape, which does mol
permit sicing as successfully as some
If the rounded tomatoes. The Norton
and the newer variety, the Norduke,
are late tomatoes, excellent for can
ming, for home gardening, and late
trucking. The Norduke shows the high
est resistance to wilt of any tomato,
and also some resistance to the lear
spot disease.
Wilt-resistant strains of tomatoes are
developed by selecting from Il variety
which possesses moderate resistance,
fruit which show individual higher re-
sistance. This resistance can be com
bincd with other desirable qualities II
other varieties by crossing. Seeds
from resistant strains have been dis
tributcd through state experiment sta
tions to Gamers and others for testing
and some of the varities are now being
carried in the catalogue lists OF SEED
houses. ..

SPECULATIVE DAIRYING ON THE ROCKS
RY O. c.. Horne

Vice President of Security Commercial Savings Bank
Speculative dairyng in the Imperial Valley is on the
rocks The "getrchquck" dairyman who planned to sell
his herd and profit and seek other pastures is out
of luck have reached the bottom price Feed is hard

given the dairy industry in certain sections OF the valley

All of which good for the dairy business and should
lend courage to the dairyman
The past year has opened our eyes to three facts:
/. That dairyng is business and not gamble.
That is profitable only to those who perma
nently and wisely That speculatpg in and leases is
a dangerous pasme. That profitable dairy be built
up only after years hard work and by the of good
ducing stock and modern methods.

element in the dairy business Some method must be work.

on a fair basis.
g. Hit and miss darying must go. The dairyman who
does not test his to determine if they the pay

THE RAZzING OF RUTH
New York Times.

For Mr.. George Herman Ruth's in
subordinate behavior in throwing dust
on the umpire who called him out there
is no extenuation. His invasion of the
grand stand in pursuit of man who
was saying things about and to him was
improper and deporable but there was
provocation. He has been back in the
eame less than a week, after long sus-
pension. Yet large part of the base
ball popuace expects him to produce a
home run every time he comes up; and
if he fails he gets, in the colloquial,
the raspberry The fact that he bat
ted his team into championship last
year is forgotten; it he hit % home
runs in 1921, that proves nothing to a
good many Polo Ground judges, except
that he ought to hit at least 90 this
season. If he doesn't, he will be lucky
to escape pop bottles, tossed by spec
tators who never took any exercise be-
yond lighting cigars.
Baseball is a noble game, but the
crowds that watch it average about as
low in sportmanship as any mass OF hui
man beings that can be found anywhere.
rmpires are safer than they used to be,
but the wrath once visited on them IS
now largely directed toward the home
team, if it happens to have an off day.
And the greater the hero, the more
prompt and vicious is the ieering when
he falls into the slump that even the
greatest heroes must have now and then.
A pitcher watering on the verge of
collapse but still able to pull himself
together il he can set his mind on it, is
apt to be pushed over the edge by pre-
mature demands Of ''Take him out! y
4 maueger who wins tho championship
in a hard fight after barely missing it
in two or three previous hard fights, is
the target of constant attacks from
critics who could hardly be more vicl'
Gus if the team had finished in the see
oud division.
One is inclined to- doubt if our ma
tional sport is baseball or even the
watching of baseball. About the only
form of exercise in which the average
citizen seems to take any real plcasura
is swinging the mctaphoric hammer

The nitrogen reserve Of the soil oc'
curs in the form of III soluble organic
matter derived from the plant resldues'
such as weeds, straw, manure, etc'
which may have been plowed under
This organic matter slowly eundergoes
decay and the nitrogen is converted
into nitrates, which are readily soluble
and if not used by growing crops are
are READILY lost from the soil III the
drainage water. The only way IL
which this loss may be prevented IS TX
have the soil occupied with growing
crop.
Since 1880 the drainage water has
been collected from u cultivated but un
cropped section of land ut the Rotham
sted experiment station, IN England
and carefully analyzed for nitrates. Ii
1880 there was $500 pounds Of nitrogen
in the soil, while in 1917 there was only
1876 pounds, loss of l,124 pounds o.
nitrogen. Their loss amounts to 8.
pounds of nitrogen per year, which II
equivalent to AN ordinary, application
of 200 pounds of sodium nitrate, cost
ing 1920 at present market prices o.
sodium nitrate in. California. This
loss may be prevented by keeping th'
soil covered with either catch or GOV
or crop.
