Tn realization of the seriousness
of the embargo now being put into
effect by eight western states
against all California fruits and
vegetables, and also of the ruinous
effect which such an embargo might
have on the cantaloupe shipments
from Imperial Valley, L. C. Lee,
Farm Bureau director and produce
man, today wired Congressman Phil
d. Swing relative to the matter.
To date Washington, Idaho, Ne
vada, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexi-
co, Montana and Oregon have advis-
ed the department of agriculture
that fruits and vegetables from Cal
ifornia will not be accepted. With
only four to six weeks time to elapse
between now and the beginning OF
the cantaloupe movement, the finan
cial loss facing this county if the
embargo is taken up by large nun
Der of other states can be estimated
only in millions of dollars, local bus.
mess men state.
Mr.. Lees idea, as Incorporated
in the telegram, points to the one
bright spot in the gloomy outlook.
If Imperial county manages to keep
its present freedom from the foot
and mouth disease, the fact that this
county is so isolated from other
parts of the state by desert and
mountains might enable shipments
to be made from here, even though
the remainder of the state is plac-
ed under a ban.
Telegram Follows
Lees telegram to Congressman
Swing, which was also addressed
jointly to j. s. Crutchfield, prcsi-
dent of the American Fruit Grow
ers, Inc, at the headquarters of this
firm in Pittsburgh, follows:
Believe you should be advised
of the seriousness of the foot and
mouth disease as a possible menace
to our cantaloupe industry. Some
states are already placing quarantine
against importation of California
fruits and vegetables. If Imperial
Valley should succeed in keeping
free from the epidemic, think we
should take steps to preclude pos
on our cantaloupe shipments.
''As you know Imperial Valley is
so situated that it is practically IS
olated from the rest of the state by
mountains and desert Eastern
shipments leaving Imperial Valley
pass directly into another state and
do not come in contact with infected
districts. In effect the shipments
would be the same as if originating
i'll state adjacent to California.
Believe government Officials under
whose jurisdiction this matter would
come should be apprised of this
fact. -
Supervisor w. II. Brooks, who is
heartily in favor of all possible
measures for protecting this coun-
ty from possible epidemic, express
ed himself today as approving highly
the telegram to Congressman Swing,
and stated that with the strong pub
lie sentiment which is forming on
the subject, the board of supervisors
would certainly do everything in
their power to keep out the foot
and mouth disease.
May Lift Quarantine
Quarantine restrictions now IN
force along the Arizona state boun-
dary will be lifted tomorrow, Com
missioner Harrigan believes. This
