San DIEGO CLAIM
BRANDED FALSE
BY SUPERVISORS
Charge That l. V. 1ndig-
ents Are Charges
There Is Denied

At the recent meeting of the
board of supervisors of Imperial
County attention was called to an
article appearing in san Diego
paper which alleged that This coun-
ty maintained children S home III
San Diego also cares for some of 1t
aged indigents at this home, and
that many of them sent to San Di-
ego later became charges on that
county. The local board branded
the report as false in every partic-
ular, and as the Welfare Commits
sion of San Diego had written the
State Board of Correction and
Charities regarding it, County
Clerk Cal Mousseau was requested
to write the state board and send q
copy of the letter to Governor
Friend Richardson.
"'It is all tissue of falsehood, -
said Probation Officer A. w. Swan
son this morning when asked about
the matter. "Thcy claim that the
juvenile and elder indigents are
kept together but they were ~ miles
apart formerly and now are at
least thirty blocks away from each
other in the coast city.
AT the present time there are
none of Imperial County's indi-
gents in San Diego county. We
formerly kept some old folks there,
and there was only one there when
this article was written and | was
arranging to bring her here. Meth.
err are the children huddled togeth-
er, for at that time there was only
a dozen children there altogether
and Mrs. j. NJ. Ray, who is the sup
crintendent. looks after the children
very well indeed. -
Plan New Quarters
Mr.. Swanson dealt with the form.
er condemnation of the building il
which the children are housed, anG
said that several alterations had
been made to the building rendering
it safe in case of fire, but it will
be abandoned altogether when the
new quarters are finished

WATER SHORTAGE WILL RESULT IN
FEWER CARLOADS OF LETTUCE
GOING OUT DURING DECEMBER

Arizona is considered to include all
lettuce for shipment prior to about
the middle of March.
Market Conditions Good
Market conditions at the present
time are quite favorable to the
growers and indications point to
Il continuation of good prices fer
some time to come. However, the
shipments of lettuce are in no way
regulated through an association
and frequently the market is over
supplied, according to the bank S
report.
The lettuce industry has develop
ed rapidly in the Pacific Southwest
territory during the past four years.
The crop of California last year had
a value to the growers of $7,s96,00O
and that of Arizona $5Sl 900. Cali
fornia produced 5,4S3 crates of let
tuce last season as compared with
1920 crates for the entire United
States, which had value of Sl7,-
j0600G The California crop in
1920 had value of $4,475,0 900. ~
About 30 per cent of California s
lettuce acreage has been in the I'M
perial Valley during the past sew
eral years. New districts are in
creasing their acreage considerably,
particularly the San Luis Obispo
district. Oxnard and San Fernan-
do Valley have also increased plant
ings. The district adjacent to Los
Angeles are gradually diminishing
their production because the land
has been taken and continues 20 be
taken for urban purposes.

Judge Makes an
Important Ruling
In Solon's Case
BY United Press Leased Wire

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. IL
Judge Morris A. Soper, in the trial
of Congressman John Philip Hill in
the L. S. Court, on charges of man
ufaeture and possession of cider,
ruled today that evidence might be
presented to show that Congress
man Hill s wine and cider were not
Intoxicating in fact.
Judge Soper ruled that it was the
intent of section 90 Of the Volstead
act TO exclude home made fruit
iuices and cider, made for use in the
, home exclusively, from the one hall
of one percent provision elsewher
/ IN the act.
The court said that the point wa
not absolutely free from doubt bu
that it would admit evidence bear
ing on whether the cider and frui
| iuices were intoxicating in fact.

Prospects for the early lettuce
crop. based upon the acreage devot.
ed to this crop, have changed ma
terially during the past month"; ae-
cording to Il report of the research
department of the First National
Bank of Los Angeles and the Paei-
fii Southwest Trust and Savings
Bank. Early lettuce is being ship
ped now from Ventura County and
Northern California but the heavy
shipments begin during November
and last into February. 1t was con-
mon belief during the fore part of
September that the early lettuce
crop during the months of NoVem
Der and December would be quite
short owing to the lack of irrigatins
water in the Imperial Valley caus,
ing lighter paintings than last year
and postponing paintings 50 that
shipments were expected to be light
until the early part of January. IL
now appears, however, that early
lettuce shipments of the Pacific
Southwest during November and
December may equal the large ship,
ments made last year during those
months. 1t should be understood
that the growing of lettuce IS irita
hazardous and it is quite possible
for the crop to be reduced by fros.s,
pests or unfavorable weather.
Water Shortage Responsible
The reversal in the outlook for
this crop has resulted from level-
opments of the past month. Wafer
conditions in the Imperial Valley
became practically normal with the
result that paintings were greatly
increased, which, together with the
ideal growing weather of the past
month, would seem to assure a good
crop for shipment during December.
The total lettuce acreage, both ear
" and late, will probably exceed
$1,000 acres as compared with %
597 acres last year. The valley
shipments during December are not
expected, however, to equal the
5599 carload shipments of last year.
This difference is very likely to be
made up by the newer producing
districts which have greatly increas-
ed acreage this year, principally
because it was anticipated that I'm
perial Valley shipments would be
considerably under those Of last
year.
According to Commissioners p. A.
lettuce shipments should
begin this year about December 20,
whereas active shipping began last
wear on December 10. However,
this wear will not see the volume
of lettuce rolling out during De.
cember that 1928 witnessed and
Iiarrigan estimates that no more
than 200 TO $50 ears will roll next
month. as against 800 ears shipped
during the same month last year.
The San Luis Obispo district, in
eluding Guadalupe and neighboring
communities, has increased planting
about 133 per cent and will prob
ably ship approximately 250 ears in
November, as compared with 10
ears last November, and 120 ears
in December as compared with %
ears for that month last year.
The state of Arizona has increas-
ed paintings of early lettuce more
than so per cent over last year and
efforts are being made to get the
crop Onto the market earlier than
usual. Last year the first ship
ments occurred during the last week
in November. Arizona may increase
her December shipments about one
third over last year or may ship $50
ears as compared with 2S3 last De-
cember. About 1000 acres are
planted to early lettuce, which IN
