APPRECIATION Doe OFFICIALS

Much credit is due the board of supervisors and
the district attorney for the prompt and effective
ner in which they have after the border menace
by the appointment of probation officer. For some
time there has been very evident need of official
whose special business it shall be interview and turn
back all minors seeking to the border at CaleXco
AS to the various heartbreakng episodes that have
made the necessity of this move evident is not
sary to discuss in detail at this particular time Suf
flee it to say that little group of earnest parents
who know of the insidous influence instaigated the
series of plays to be put by this group Of Eastsde
agitation that resulted in T. A. EgglestOn of CaeXco
assuming his new duties juvenile inspector at the
border last night
The supervisors and the district attorney by their
action have shown that they appreciate the import
of conserving young folks we'll
ocks and crops and have taken the proper steps to
insure the youth of the valley protection from the
demoralizing influence of Mexicali.
The position Mr.. Eggeston is fraught
with much Importance and he shall be called to eXer
else much diplomacy, sympathy and discretion in the
exercise of his duties He is entitled to the utmost
cooperation and assistance and should be regarded
by both the young folks and their parents as
structive force in the community, rather than
guard stationed to maintain the law The splendid
in which this matter has been handled shows
that it's to the citizens to decide definitely what sort
of legislation they want and then to their officials
and enlist their support Il the measure is worthy and
deserves consideration, will usually find earnest
body of conscientious men willing to give and
put into effect that for the welfare of the
entire community.

HOME SAFETY MANAGERS

When Boy Scouts and safety councils get to-
geher to lessen accident hazards in community good
results are likely to follow. In city this month,
Boy Scouts are delivering to every nome message
to the family" sent out by the safety council The
sage urges the appointment of family safety manager
whose duty it will be to discover and eliminate the
causes of accidents. Tine message says:
"Some in the family should have the duty of
safeguarding it from the little accidents that during
1922 killed than 10000 people within homes in
the United States.
"Cites and factories have had safety managers for
years resulting in thousands of lives being saved 1t
is equally important that each home should have
safety manager who will make accident prevention
in the home his job"
The Scouts have a pamphlet of instructions which
they will share with any one needing advice or sug
gestions Poison bottles, conbustibe rubbish, loose
boards in stairs, electric wires from which insulation
has been worm projecting nails where they should not
be- all contain infinite possibilities for njuring some
member of the family, from the creeping baby to its
parents.
Thoughtful parents are sef-appointed safety man
ayers but it might be excellent idea il family
to give the job occasionally to of the small
fry who are just beginning to grow up. That sort of
responsibility is very helpful in teaching the needed
lessons

When group of colored folks from the Eastside
plan and execute entire evenings high class
entertainment in Spanish it IS sufficient to make us
pause in surprise. A dramatic organization formed
entirely of residents of the Eastside for the purvey
of high class attractions, responsible for the
splendid presentation of "Castillos de Torresnobes"
recently at the Eastsde school. Our Eastside resi-
dents are to be congratulated and commended upon
so ambitious undertaking.
1t is understood that this is only the first of
series of plays to be put by thsgroup of Easside
folks all naritorous the first This speaks much
for the earnest efforts of Professor W. A. Payne and
his associates who aboring diligently to bring to
the pupils and homes of the Easside better standards
Of living and higher aspirations Education is the So
luton of the colored problem the country over and
when the Eastside successfully put such fea-
lures as this it certainly that the coored prob
lem here in Ell Centre is being solved in highly sat
isfactory manner.
There is much do community, to
sponsor and encourage those the Eastside who

Cropping Plan for a FOur-Mule
Farm Operated with Share Choppers

The forty acres in the wages crop
could not be handled by one man
and one mule, but since twenty
acres are in small grain and ten
acres are in grazing crops, the work
could be done by using all four
mules at times. This plan can be
adapted to larger farms, if the pro-
portion of one wage crop to every
three troopers is maintained.
The optional cash crops and the
hog grazing crops, which were dis
cussed in connection with the ''Two-
Mule Hog and Cotton Farm" can
be used on the cropper farm.
In this system the maintenance Of
the farm is provided for. The oper-
ator should have little cash outlay
for food and supplies. The choppers
will not have sufficient food sup
plies, but what products he lacks
the operator has grown for him and
can sell it to him as he needs it.
The operator will need some extra
labor in getting in fall grain and
grazing crops and harvesting. The
troopers will have some extra time
at these stages and can work out"
some Of their rations.
The reason for the operator grow
ing the small grain is that if most
troopers, negro troopers especially,
grew enough wheat to supply them.
they would sell it when they ran
short of money. and would not have
any when spring came. In which
case the operator would find that he
would have to supply his choppers
with flour. 1t is hard to keep the
negroes from selling, swapping or
otherwise disposing of their supplies.
If the operator can control this
weakness of his troopers, it is a
good plan to have each cropper grow
enough wheat to supply his needs.
But the oats and hog grazing crops
can be grown to better advantage
by the operator. This plan will per-
nit the choppers to devote most Of
their time to the production of cash
crops.
Systems similar to the one out,
lined have been very satisfactory
where they have been used. They
have made a profit for both the oper-
ator and the cropper, and this is the
real test Of any system. If the crop
per cannot come out a little ahead,
the better class Of them will move.
If the operator cannot make a
profit, then he must either improve
