DR.. Hazeldine is Inventor
DR.. Hazeldine, who has been stu
dying solar-vitalizing for the past
eight years, is the inventor of this
patented process, and is an expert
on the conservation of food stuffs.
i. In addition to processing fruits,
successful work has been done with
vegetables, meats, fish, eggs, milk
fruit juices which ferment quickly,
and vegetable oils. No chemicals,
preservatives, or sugar are added, so
the products are chemically pure,
and are true in color, odor and
taste.
Interesting experiments have been
conducted with seeds such as corn
and wheat, and it has been found
that the yield of such seed has been
materially larger, than is the ease
with untreated seed, and the growth
period shortened, the principle of
this being that the seed is brought
to more complete state of matur-
ity by. exposure to the concentrated
sunlight, and consequently is furth-
er advanced when placed in the
ground that is naturally ripened
seed.

Arriving here from Los Angeles
yesterday with the intention of
spending about ten days in the I'm
perial valley DR.. n. +. w. Hazeldine
president and acting technical en-
gineer and chemist of the Solar
Vitalizing. Company, today told the
Press reporter something about, the
work he is carrying on in the val-
lev in connection with the date
industry. 3@
Last year DR.. Hazeldine was in
the valley and installed Il solar
vitalizing plant at the Timken ranch
three miles west on the highway,
where dates were treated by this
process. This season G. o. Bulls,
manager of the Timken Ranches. is
having hundreds of pounds handled
by this method.
Solar-vitalizing, which is & term
new to many people, is the name
applied to the process of preserv-
ing all kinds of food products by
the application of light, heat, and
draft through specially construct
ed glass device. This concentration
of the sun rays is what produces
seemingly miraculous effects.
Four days treatment by this
process is sufficient to prepare
dates for packing, all gassing,
sterilizing, dehydrating or other

Have Cooperation
of Everyone

C. C. Jenkins, secretary
of the Imperial County Farm Bu-
reau, stated today he most cordial
ly invites all business men of the
city and valley to attend the meet
ing of the lettuce growers and ship
pers to be held at the Farm Bureau
headquarters, 645 Main street, to-
morrow at l p. m.
While this meeting, according to
Mr.. Jenkins, is of special interest
and Importance to those directly
connected with the lettuce industry,
vet all progressive business men of
the valley are aware that the pros
perity of the community as a whole
is largely dependent on the success
full disposal of local commodities,
such rs lettuce.
At tomorrow meeting problems
which will be of interest to every
live citizen who has the best inter
ests of the community as a whole
will come up for attention, and mer-
chants who find it to their ad-
vantage to be closely in touch with
local crop conditions, will undoubt-
edly attend.
Strong for Farm Bureau
That the business men of FL Cen
tro are going to make strong eff
fort to unite with the Farm Bureau
and the ranchers in their endeavor
to create real spirit of harmony
and cooperation between the com
mercial andNgricultural elements of
the valley is evidenced in the fol-
lowing letter received by the I'M
perial Valley Press this morning,
and signed by V. r. Francis, we'll
known merchant of this city.
"An article appeared in your
paper published September 10 under
the heading Farm Bureau in Ex-
tensive Plans for Fall Work. In
that article the Imperial County
Farm Buyreas suggested co-opera-
tion of all business men of the val
ley. 1 am for it. Never again can
a business man of Imperial Valley
say, and say it truthfully, that he
is unable to get cooperation from
the ranchers. / feel that this is
one of the most vital steps taken
by any organization in the valley.
81 believe that there are no prob
lens too difficult to be solved by
the united efforts of the business
men and the ranchers of the valley
Let's give the Farm Bureau every
encouragement possible. -
