SELF INTEREST
DEMANDS SWING
Y BE REFLECTED
So Says Ross Hammond
In Letter Read at
Banquet

Following in part is the letter
written by Ross l.. Hammond, of
Riverside, one of the owners Of the
Imperial Valley Press, which was
read at the Swing banquet Wednes-
day when Mr.. Hammond found he
WAS unable 20 attend in person.
Mr.. Swing has been a good rep
resentative in congress. 1t is doubt
ful il any district among them all
in the United States has had a
more diligent and devoted member.
He has been alert and on guard
every moment. His home people in
lmperial county may well have
pride in the contribution thev have
made through him to the public
service.
"As Mr. Swing has fought a
good fight and kept the faith he
is obviously entitled to unqualified
approval. This not only for his
own sake but in sheer selfishness
on the part of his home folks.
The One Best Fitted
/" For disregarding all other
compelling considerations, il Is plain
that no man IN all the eleventh dis
trict is in position TO so capably
serve the people of the district as
is Phil Swing. His name has be
ceme synonymous for the one para
mount interest of the district and
the entire southwest, namely, con
troll and development of the Colo
rado Rive.
Beginning with this dav and
continuing until after the primarie-
and then on to the election, every
person sensing the magnitude of
this great project should omit no
thing that will contribute to his
nomination and election. Our self
interests demand it. Failure 20 re-
turn him to congress will be to-

One wonders. sometimes. just which
direction farmers in general are head
ed.
Cooperative marketing has been
held forward as the one possibility for
rec,ifying the sales problems for farm
ers, OF cutting out much OF the con-
sumner altogether too much The Am
erioan Farm Bureau federation took
the matter up as portion of its pro-
gram.
Canyon county. too. took leading
part in the new method OF selling farm
products. Here the egg association
was organized. Today it is function
ing in the face OF obstacles and a type
OF competition that IS. to put it mild
ly OF Gu, throat nature. Many farm
products were sold by similar pro-
cesses. And it certainly is too early
TO say that results obtained. particu-
larly under conditions exisant the
past few seasons. have been sufficient
ly disappointing to brand the method
failure
This years farmers are slipping
back. They maintain an organization
but propose to sell locally to cash
buyers. Lack OF confidence. failure to
realize that the only hope is loyalty

ing something new experimenting.

night and evading the years OF pcrsis-
tant effort to make any movement

are today indicate return to the old
