brought the score up to to 3.
Both teams held until the seventh.
Some of the local players had been
prophesying what would be done III
Ghe lucky seventh;' and now they
maue their prophecies good. The
tide changed when Jones knocked
in Hurst and Maloney. Imperial
put in new pitcher, but with no
better results. Jacobs lammed out
Il two bagger; Jones, who was on
base, advanced to third. Beck was
responsible for another o-base hit
that brought in Jones and Jacobs.

PARTIAL LIST OF
TREES SUITABLE
TO |. Y. CLIMATE

For the benefit of Imperial Val
ley residents wishing to know just
what is best TO plant in this climate
in the way Of trees, the following
list compiled by Prof. Harry Shcp
herd of the state university, is pre-
sented by the community service
committee:
Acdcias--Many of the acacits will
thrive in the valley. One variety
particularly persists under not al.
together favorable condition. Black.
wood ACACIA. This tree is quick
growingsand somewhat shallow root
ed. 1t, therefore, needs protection
from strong prevailing winds.
Bcefwood,-The beefwood is q
tree which, from q distance, resem.
bles the pine. This tree is hardy
and alkili resistant. 1t has also an.
Other interest in that it is q possible
source of stock feed. There are
several beautiful specimens in
Brawlcy.
Carob.--The carob, also known as
st. johns Bread, is another at
.ractive slow-growing evergreen
tree. lit is q tree which is hardy in
the valley and adapted to home
ground planting
A Fast Grower
Arizona Cypress is one of the few
confers which is adapted to the
heat of the valley. This gray green
tree may be used as 4 lawn speci-
men or Il back ground for the home
Eucalypti-Of all the trees which
have made the valley attractive,
there are few which excel this re.
markable tree. For windbreak pur.
poses this tree reaches an effective
height in less time than any other
tree attaining an equal size. This
tree to luyuriant growth is heat and
alltaH tolerant. 1t is readily grown
from seed and has few competitors
for the farm windbreak in Califor.
mia.
Jerusalem Thorn is tree of at.
tractive and delicate foliage which
may be grown near the home. This
tree is used for street tree in Ca
leXico.
Pepper Tree is one of the most
graceful evergreen trees. Holtvillo
has several attractive avenue trees
of this variety. Another. variety
which is more upright and umbrella
like is the Brazilian Pepper.
