CITRUS GROWERS
TO HEAR TALKS
ON INDUSTRY
Informed Men to Conduct
School Here This
Month

Although the citrus industry is
not one of any large acreage in I'M
perial Valley it is growing by leaps
and bounds, and for that reason the
Agricultural Extension Service will
'~turn considerable attention towards
it during the coming year. says Ray
mOnd Ellis, assistant farm advisor.
In order to avoid many mistakes
made in other districts, during the
pioneer days of the industry, a num-
Der of meetings and demonstrations
will be held from time to time, and
. number Of specialists will be
brought to the valley to impart in
formation to growers and prospec-
tive growers.

March 10 and 20 and for Brawley,
March 81 and 90. At each place,
the mornings will be taken up with
lectures, in FL Centre at the Wilson
school and at the Brawley high
school. The afternoon will be taken
up with field meetings and demon
STATIONS, places to be announced
later. Each demonstration will tie
in very closely with the morning
lectures and each days work will
follow the one of the previous day,
so that no grower can afford to miss
any part of the meetings.

FOR TIE
STATE OR A DISTRICT

Should we ever run for Office, the
thing that we are going to say now
will be enough to defeat US, but
that does not bother IS, so here
goes:
The best legislator is the man who
forgets. when he enters the legisla-
ture, the constituency that elected
him!
Is that strange Goctrine'
Well, at any rate, it is not popu-
lar one.
The people talk about the selfish
ness of large business interests.
Every organized body of men, every
organized division Of the state and
nation is selfish. Township, village,
city, county, state and nation-ir
every one Of these, selfshncss rules
and business is conducted according
to the rules of self shness. In some
places and some instances more pro-
nounced than in others-but selfish
tess everywhere present.
That is why we say that the best
legislator is the man and now the
woman, if you piease-who forgets,
as far as possible, that he was elect
ed by certain constituency.
Every man who is elected to the
legislature is IA servant of the whole
state and not the errand boy of a
single county or district.
The legislator is there to legislate
for the whole state.
The seats in the legislature are
parceled out among he people OF the
state, under the system of district
units, in order that from every
quarter of the state may come some
members, that the legislature, which
is to legislate for the whole people,
may be body that represents the
people as whole.
The trouble with our legislative
bodies is that the members from
each locality want to pull things
for their own localities and the
whole session often turns into a
fight between localities to see which
can grab the most from the state
in the line of money or concessions.
This is not the fault of the legis-
lators. At least they are probably
the least to blame.
They are listening to what the
folks back home are saying and as
rule those folks are clam oring for
something for their own loc>.ty.
The thing that makes it so hard
for the average legislator to be
what ne should be, representative
of the whole state, is that people
will not let him. There is seldom
legislator who is not saddled down
with some special bill from home
and every such special bill, ever
sucn local matter, is handicap that
makes it just that much harder for
that man to work.
Every man that has special, To-
cal interest to look after is mark
ed man" in legislative body. If he
is going to get his own little graft"
for the home folks over, he will have
to come across and vote for every
other little graft" that any other
legislator is trying to appease an
hungry constituency with.
The people never ask their repre-
sentative or their senator the aues-
ton: What did you do for the
state? But always they ask: What
did you do for US?
II the people want better repre-
sentatlves, they will have to furnish
better constituencies Minneso,.
