Sports Program

SAN FRANCISCO, October p
A sports program rarely if ever
equalled in this country will be
offered 100000 delegates and guests

to November 9

According to communication
received from the Interstate Com
merce Commission headquarters at
Washington, ID. c., the date ten
tatlvely announced for the hear
ing to be held in Los Angeles on
the object Of top icing of cars
loaded with lettuce has been
changed and November is now of
ficially announced as the date.
{. c. Jenkins, manager of the
county Farm Bureau, today gave
out the foregoing announcement,
and stated that the hearing would
be held at 10 4. m. in the rooms of
the California Railroad commission,
Pacific Finance Building, before
Examiner Steer.
The immediae problem facing the
lettuce men of the valley in regard
to getting their organization in
shape for properly presenting their
case Is that of getting some local
men to attend I. conference to be
held in Los Angeles on Friday of
this week. At this time number
of Los Angeles commission men will
gather at the Produce Exchange
building, corner of Seventh and
Central streets, at 9 a. m. for the
purpose Of perfecting plans already
partially formulated.
l.. c. Lee, vice president of the
Farm Bureau, will be among the
representative from here, and any
BUSINESS men interested in the let
tuee industry as well as any local
growers or shippers who can make
the trip to Los Angeles for that
day are urged TO communicate with
him at once about transportation.

dom attacked by this insect.
Picking the grapefruit will com
menee about October 10 and the
yield is expected to be fully up
TO the mark of last year. The devel-
opmcnt of the grapefruit industry
is one that is very gratifying to
residents of the valley, according
to Harrigan. Each year sees more
land devoted to this branch of
horticulture and several new orch
ards have been planted within the
past year on the highway between
this city and Calexico. The fact
that the trees begin bearing a few
years after they are set out and
the fruit always finds ready sale
in the market makes it one of the
most attractive Investments in the
valley. Grapefruit land originally
purchased up to 5000 per acre, is
worth over 81 900 an acre after the
trees have been producing few
years.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Oc-
tober "a long drawn out court
fight was in prospect today testing
the legality of Tuesdays election
in Oklahoma at which an initiated
amendment to the constitution pro-
viding that the legislature might
convene itself without call from
the governor, was adopted over
whelmingly.
Governor j. c. Walton, who oppos-
ed the election with all the power
at his command, consulted with his
legal advisers today concerning the
court procedure. The fight will be
made by the governor on the ground
that the initiated measure was not
advertised at least five days before
the election as required by the
Oklahoma statutes.
Five other proposed constitutions
al amendments apparently were de-
feated. These provided for:
A soldiers bonus; including
death, as well as injuries, under
the workmen s compensation act
making the state liable for losses
by depositors in state banks which
failed; allowing q woman to be
governor and levying a tax for
Improvement in rural schools.
Says Klan Blamed
The governor claimed he had
gained great moral support for his
campaign against the Ku Klux Klan
as a result of the balloting. He
said the khan would be blamed by
the veterans for defeat of the
soldiers bonus; by workmen; by
depositors who have suffered losses
by women and by rural school
adherents for failure of their meas.

'The klan is to blame,' Walton
said.
The vote was \extremely light

the last general election.
The governor S supporters claim
ed many people remained away from
the polls because of Walton s op
position. Scattering polls through
out the state failed to open in
obedience to the governor s orders
while in two counties, Harper and
Cimarron, no votes were east, due
to failure of the polls to open.

of 2S37 in the state, tabulated at
an early hour today, showed the

When New England apple growers

their crop as the New England milk
producers are organized for selling
their milk, we shall not be spending
our nickels and dimes on Pacific

lists suffer from competition. from
poor grading and packing, and from
small marketing conditions.
There are times when the steps to
this goal seem slow and uncertain.
But the farm bureaus have laid a
solid foundation. Only time is need

not only in orcharding, which is most
important, but in other lines.
