''Manhandled" to
Show Two Days

"Manhandled," widely heralded
as Gloria Swanson greatest pic
ture, and now finishing up its fifth
week at Grammar $ Million Dollar
Theater in Los Angeles, will be the
attraction at the Palace Airdome
tomorrow and Friday nights. An
Allan Dwan production, it is said
to excel in thrilling scenes, adapted
from the Saturday Evening Post
story by Arthur Stringer. The plot
concerns the experience Of shop
girl who climbs the social ladder to
position, getting silks, furs and
jewels en- route, only to find in the
end that honest love is the one
thing that s worth while. TO get
real atmosphere for the part, Miss
Swanson clerked for a whole day in
a department store, lived in a cheap
Bronx boarding house, picked the
rush hour for her first subway ride
in New York and did other thrilling
stunts. Tom Moore, Frank Morgan,
Lilyan Tashman, former Follies
beauty, Paul McAhister, Tan
Keith and others form a strong sup
porting cast.

During theapast year q number Of
Imperial Valley farmers have be-
come Interested iii new forage

and the Univerity Of Califognia and
WAS distributed to farmers Of the
valley through the agricultural exr
tension service. 1T III callsd Ber-
seem, or Egyptian clover Dnring
the past winter seven farmers in
this valley have grown Rerseen and

Use as winter. forage and cover
crop.
The results obtained bv those who
have grown Berseem in Imperial Val
Icy show that during the cool win
ter months this plant will grow CON
siderably faster than alfalfa 'or
sour clover; that all kinds Of live
stocE eat it readily; that even when
cut and fed green or when pastured
it practically never bloats dairy
cattle; and that it fixes nitrogen in
the soil, as shown by the many
nodules found on its roots.
This Berseem is an annual clover,
which is grown extensively in
Egypt as forage crop, and in that
country it has practically replaced
alfalfa. 1t has now been grown
successfully for five years at the
q. S. experiment station at Bard,
California, and for four years at the
University of California experiment
citation at Meloland
In October, 1929, Berseem seed
was furnished to three trainers in
this valley Two of these farmers
failed to plant this seed at the prop
er time and did not secure satisfac-
tory results. The third planted as
directed and secured a very salts.
factory crop. This successful PROV.
er was Fl. H. Hoppin who lives 212
miles south of Ell Centre. He plant
ed his Berseem ON October II,
1922, and made his first cutting on
January 25, 1923. Thereafter at 80
i day intervals, he secured three more
cuttings and a seed crop.

tings was 2318 tons per acre of green
Berseem. He used this feed green,
as a dairy feed and found it to be
excellent for this purpose. Mr.. Hop
pin also secured yield of 792
pounds of seed per acre, besides his
feed.
In September 1923, seven Imperial
Valley farmers purchased seed from
Mr.. Hoppin. These farmers planted
this seed at various times ranging
from September 26 to February.
Each seems to think highly of Ber
seem and plans to plant it again.
The most successful grower of
Berseem during this last season was
j. M. Grafton, who lives 31a miles
south of Ell Centre. He planted
three acres on October 20, 1923, and
secured an excellent stand. His
field is quite free from weds @and
has been pastured once and cut
twice. Mr.. Grafton tried making

Demonstration of
Much Interest to
Grapefruit M e n

The meeting of grapefruit grow
ers held Tuesday morning at the
ranch of o. L. James was extreme
ly gratifying to w. r. Schoonover,
citriculture specialist from the
state university and Ray Ellis, as
slstant farm advisor of Imperial
County. A group of 80 persons were
present to hear Mr.. Schoonover
speak on the proper irrigation and
cultivation or young grapefruit
trees. Pruning was the subject of
discussion.
In view of the fact that approx
imately 1900 acres of new trees
had been Sc. up during the past
winter, many of the men at the
meeting were new citrus growers
and were intensely interested in
hearing about the care of the young
trees. The afternoon meeting was
held at the Fred Spoer ranch near
Brawley.
The total grapefruit acreage in
Imperial Valley now amounts to
pproximately $500 acres, of which
only 400 acres are in full bearing.
The fruit of four year old tree is
the first that is of marketable
vallie:~~ Some trees in the valley
bear fruit in the second and third
years, but it is not as rule fiji
for shipping to outside markets.
Grapefruit orchards are proving
popular in the valley with the type
of rancher that can look ahead a
few years for profit that is sure
instead of trying his luck on mon
ster melon or lettuce crop that may
be a financial success or may be &
failure due to over production, poor
markets. The planter of grapefruit
who must wait four years at least
to realize on his investment can
not be the get et-rich-quick type OF
fly-by night grower, according tc
Farm Bureau officials.
