California 8 agricultural produc
lion for the year 1922, ON a ton
mage basis, was the largest on re
cord IN the State. According to the
report of +. r. Kaufman, Agricul.
turai Statisticissa, the l992 crop
exceeded by n few thousand tons
the production of l920-the hest
previous year from the standpoint
Of tonnage. The price of farm
crops as whole was slightly high
or than in 1921, and increased tho
total value more than fiftv-five
million dollars over the previous

as compared with $144,s63, 900 in
1921, 5,:153, 600 in 1920, and
1922, 10000 in 1919. This ealcu-
lation of field crops does not in
clude cantaloupes and vegetables.
The total production of all fruit
crops in 1922 was approximately
2,74,144 tons. valued to the grow
ers at $l94,sl0,00o. In 1921 the
production was 2,197,300 tons,
valued at $l79,964, 900 The value
in 1920 was $685., 2,557 900 and in
1919 s241, CPS, ,000
Both eantaloupe and vegetable
shipments exceeded those of pre-
vious years. The cantaloupe ship
ments in 1922 were approximately
1921 ears, as compared with
1917 cars in 1921, 1917 ears III
1920, and 1900 ears in 1910.
Shipments of vegetables sin 1922
totale9 27,73s cars, as compared
with 26,691 ears in 1921, 24,503 in
1920, and 20,071 ears in 1919. The
financial return to the growers Of
cantaloupes and vegetables in the
past year was slightly more than in
1921, but less than in 1919 and
1920. The value to the growers
last year was $19,288, ,000 In 1921

Additional Inspection
"In addition to requiring a san
itary inspection of all slaughter
houses and processing plants, pro-
visions are made in the law for CO.
operative state, county and munici-
pal inspection, and This has accom-
plishcd excellent results where it
has been placed in effect.
"'Co-operative, systematic in
spection is not extended to any
county or municipality except on
request of the supervisors or city
council, and when it is granted,
provisions must be made whereby
the owners of slaughterhouses must
provide Sufficient funds to main
tain the services of qualified in
spect0rS, who function under the
direction Of the state department of
agriculture in accordance with the
agreements of the local officials
with,that department.
81 Cooperate
'At present cooperative inspcc-
tion has been inaugurated in three
counties and % municipalities, and
other applications are en file with
the department. The farmer is per
mitted to slaughter the increase in
his herd ON the farm providing he
leaves the head, heart, lungs and
liver intact and takes the carcass
to a slaughterhouse which is oper;tt
ing under state inspection, whore an
inspection is made for nominal
sum and if the carcass is found
healthy and fit for human consump-
ton, it will be stamped and permit
ted to be shipped any place in the
state for sale, without further in
spection.
~ am pleased to say that Imper-
ial county has passed an ordinance
thus enabling the state department
of agriculture to cooperate and
protect the people of this county
against the consumption of diseased
meat ard permit beef from local
cattle to be shipped from here. This

MEAT CONSUMPTION
SETS NEW RECORD

Neutrality-suspicious. meat was con-
sumed in the United States last year
than in any previous year, the Depart
ment Of Agriculture announced here
recently. The total consumption was
estimated at 16,333, 100000 pounds.
which amounts to 1897 pounds per
person, applying the July 1, 1922, esi-
mate of population. The per capita
consumption showed an Increase Of Ex
pounds over 1921 and 8h pounds over
1920.
Coupled with the decrease in tho
exports and somewhat higher prices to
purchasers in 1922" the department
report said, '.these figures evidence
satisfactory state Of the home market
due doubtless to the prosperous condi-
ton and better purchasing power Of
the people generally"
The average meat bill per person
in 1922, according to the estimates,
was made up of 61.4 pounds of beef,
73 pounds of veal, 5 pounds of NUT
ton and lamb and 76 pounds Of pork.
All classes of meat except mutton and
lamb showed increased consumption.
The largest increase was in beef, 8.6
pounds per person, while the increased
consumption of pork was only slightly
less, 81 pounds per capita. Lamb and
mutton decreased IL pounds per cap
ita.
The conversion Of corn into lard by
means of the hog is one of the major
Industries Of the country, the product
Of which goes to all parts of the
world, the department announced. The
67,050,745 hogs slaughtered in 1922
yielded more than 5000, ,OOO, 600 pounds
of meat and 2,3S3, 100000 pounds Of
lard. This Is the highest production Of
lard on record, and as the exports, al
though considerable, were less than in
1921, 1t follows that the total consump-
ton also was highest. The per capita
consumption, however, was exceeded
In 1916.

SAYS SCHOOLS LIGHT
TRAINING IN SPEECH

Training for business should begin
in the first grade of the public school
in the opinion of Allan M. Cartier,
superintendent of training of the
New York Telephone Company. Mr.,
Cartier does not insist that courses
in accounting and business methods
be begun this early, but argues that
the age of five or six is not too soon
to begin teaching the correct pro-
nounciation of words and clear enun-
citation, which he declares are very
important part of the. child's training
for efficiency in business and for
success in life.
t"There seems to be lack of any
real effort on the part of our schools
to train children to pronounce their
words properly and to enunciate
clearly" the New York Globe quotes
him as declaring mot only is this
true, but experience with applicants
for positions with the telephone COM
panies is constantly proving that
young people cannot even read aloud
properly"
The remedy, in Mr. Carriers OPT
nion, lies in individual training, both
in the home and at school. Each
child should be studied to discover
his or her deficiencies or needs, and
should then be given such drills as
will be individually beneficial. Ex-
ercises for the proper control Of the
lips, tongue and teeth in speech
should be conducted regularly.
Training in reading aloud, now con-
fined to the first few grades, should,
he declares, be continued through a
childs school career.

The proposed drilling for oil in this
people to talking as it should, for it
means not only an improved city and
a large population and greater wealth
but it spell more substantial char
acter to our town as it gives us a

On top Of the good news about the
men, while prospecting for metals, in
the section north and west of Nee
dies, came on to an outcropping of a
black, stone-like substance which they
could not classify and brought sam
pies to the city where it was soon
shown to be a good quality of hard or
anthracite coal.
The exact location of this coal bed
or vein was not stated to the repre-
sentative of The Nugget, nor could it
be learned how extensive a deposit
the coal was, as the parties interested
in it had not perfected their location
notices for filing.
We hope to be in a position to make
known further details of this discov-
cry, which if it is extensive in its ma
ture means so much for the industrial
development of Needles, which is GER
tain to come, for four States have al
ready signified their intention of ac-

tive to the proposed water power and

BOYS TOO SLICK
FOR CITY DUDES

WinslOw High School Basket Ball
team went down to defeat before the
last years State Champions Friday
mite by a score of 32-11. Coach Nap
iers fast and clever team came thru
with the game in an orderly manner
showing it was as easy for them to
play basketball as to eat and from
their looks they do plenty of both.
Holbrook Junior High school failed
to show up for the opener on account
of disabled car so the local Wild
cats" were substituted against the
Junior High School but were igno-
miniously defeated
Janeway and Hitchcock played their
usual stellar game at forward and
guard but the inability of Holm and
Kimura to find the hoop caused Win
slow to drop behind in the race for
points.
The game was not of an exciting
variety and owing to the small crowd
present the players did not warm up
to any extent.
