but when it crossed into Texas and
found our vast cotton fields, full OF
squares and bolls to puncture, the wee
vii began to rub its eyes and wonder
ed if it was not too good to be true,
and how long could it last. That ques-
ton of how long will we continue to
feed weevils depends entirely on us.
We can restore the balance IN ma
ture, at least partially, by doing away
with large acreages. Small acreages
mean more time left to fight the in
sects. 1t costs as much to poison cot
ton land that will make bale to the
acre as it does to treat land capable
of making only fourth Of bale. 1t
is easy to destroy the weevil on i've
acres of cotton. The same amount OF
poison and effort spread over 70 acres
will have no effect on the weevil. -.
What holds true of the boil Weevil
holds true of the insects, such as the
strawberry crown borer, Mexican bean
beetle and a host OF others.

is not the entomologist who has Great
ed our vast insect problem, but our
methods OF farming under large acre
ages which is exactly the conditions
favorable to rapid insect multiplied

rapid multiplication Of the insects has
created the entomoligst, and II we
continue with more acres than we can
take care of or poison | see good times
ahead for the entomologist.

FROG WAS FIRST VOCALIST
TO THUS PROCLAIM LOVE
Love Making Among Animals and In
sects as Varied as by Humans.

Methods of 1ove-making are just as
varied among animals, birds and in
sects as the methods used by human
beings. According to a well-known
scientist the male spider, diminutive
creature compared with the female,
attracts the attention of his mate by
vibrating one of the fibers Of her web,
thus transmitting message of love
along the wires"
The chirp Of the cricket, caused by
the male rubbing leg and wing togeth-
er, appeals to his mates sense of hear
ing, and was the first known example
OF instrumental music being applied to
courtship. The frog also exploits the
sense of hearing, the male emitting
that very resonant sound so often apt
to interfere with ones sleep. The
croak of the frog was the first known
instance of vocal music being applied
to courtship.

THINK COMPOSITE
Plan MAY SOLVE
COAL MINE STRIKE

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-A CON-
posite plan for settlement Of the
anthracite coal strike, embodying
the most satisfactory features of the
90 different plans which have been
submitted to the miners and mine
owners, was looked upon today as
the chief hope for ending the coal
strike which has kept mines idle
since September /.
1t was learned by the United
Press from source which is in close
touch with the progress of negotia-
tions that the negotiators have in
mind such settlement. 1t was pre-
dicted, however, that only long dis
cussion could evolve such plan.
1t was described as the process of
making "crazy quilt taking
from all sources the most satisfac-
tory features until the complete
fabric is obtained.
While neither the miners nor the
mine operators would make any
statement, it was considered certain
the plan submitted yesterday by
Alvan Markle of Hazelton, Pa,
would not be accepted in it's en-
tirety, if at all. The plan, however,
was regarded as valuable stimu-
lus to discussion.

leaders here are anXiouslv watching
the effect the half billion dollar
consolidation of the Standard Oil of
California and the Pacific Oil com
pany will have on the industry rs
whole.
Already reports are being circu-
lated in the street that consolida-

Petroleum company, which distrib-
utes gasoline and other oil products
on the Pacific coast and which has
extensive interests i'm Texas, Wyom-

One of the most discussed rumors
is the prospective acquisition of
the Associated Oil by the Texas
company. The Standard Oil-Pa-
cific combine will force distribu-
tion of the associated stock soon
which is certain to bring about n
shift of those in control, it was
said.

KANSAS FARMERS
VIEW VALLEY AS
PROMISED LAND
Many Willing to Settle
Here If Land Can Be
Bought on Easy Terms

Many farmers in Kansas and 9TH
er sections of the middle west are
desirous Of settling in Imperial Val
ley. and there will be quite an in
flux if the right sort Of terms can
be obtained, according to a letter
received by the Press from P. M.
Jewell of Olatha, Kansas.
Jewell's letter. which suggests
that Imperial Valley land owners
sell parts of their large ranches on
the crop payment plan, was referred
to the board of directors of the
farm bureau by Secretary jenkins,
to whom the Press referred the let
ter. However, rs a matter of pol
lev, the directors could not endorse
the letter officially though many
expressed themselves individually
as favoring some plan of this sort.
''You have the soil, climate, trans
portation, water and organizations
Of growers" the letter states, "and
what YOU need is real settlers who
will build homes on every 40 acres
and improve it with fine orchards
and dairies. This can be accom-
plished by land owners cutting off
a part of their ranches and selling
to real settlers on the crop payment
plan extending over number of
years.
Government reports show that
there are over $4,000 farms vacated
in the United States at present be-
cause the land is worn out and the
farmers cannot make n living off
the soil. Thousands of good farm
ers would be in Imperial Valley in
a short time were it not for the fact
that land owners require too much
payment down. The farmers have not
got "A sufficient amount of cash but
they have enough TO build them
selves a small home and put in their
crops
Jewell has been in Imperial Val
ley several times, he states and is
enthusiastic about the possibilities
of this community and the mutual
benefits to be derived for farmers
and the valley, if sufficient num-
Der of the former can be obtained
for settlement here.

LETTUCE SEASON
OFFICIALLY ON

1873 Cars Are Ordered for
Today's Loading, Over
100 Buyers in Valley.

With ears ordered for today 8

nearly 100 produce men were buy

Eastern Markets Good
Fours and fives, the packs prin.

Lettuce has been little. damaged

absence of hot sun following the
rain has practically averted the
danger of bursted heads among the
mature stock. Should cool weather
follow, the quality will be excellent.
Schultz Expected Soon
One of the signs that the season
IS getting well under way is the
fact that c. f. Schultz is expected
the first of the week Schultz has
been in chareg of the market news
service of the Bureau of Agricultur-
al Economics during the past several
Imperial Valley lettuce seasons, and
produce shippers will be glad to
know that he has been again assign

Daily reports will be distributed
from the old location of the bureau
in the Hotel Barbara Worth.
In view of the fact that over
$4,000 acres of lettuce is planted in
the valley, and to date no disasters
such as insect pests or frost have
developed to cut the yield, large
movement for the season is predict

Many Americans who have been
planning to see the New Year
dawn at Mcxicali. are doomed to
isappontment, following receipt
of an order from Washington today

the new year in to the accompani-
metn of beverages stronger than
those allowed by Uncle Sam.
Extensive preparations had been
made in Mexicali for the celebra-

will doubtless 20 across the line,
remaining there until nearly mid
night. it is not anticipated that
there will be the usual crowd in
lev Of the new order.
Identification cards are still ne
ccssarv before residents of lmpcr-
ial Valley can cross to Mexicali,
though the demand for the cards
was lifted during the Christmas sea
son.
Arcadio Patraca, in charge of the
Mexican immigration officers, has
instructed inspectors at the line
to demand passports or identifica-

BANDITS KlDNAP
TWO COPS, ELUDE
POLICE DRACNET
by United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, Dee. 3O.-The
entire San Francisco police force
today was ON the lookout for two
youthful bandits who last night not
only kidnapped two police officers
but defied the entire police aggrega-
tion, headed by Chief O'Brien, in
the search that followed.
The two men who had just robbed
the James A. Dunno grocery on
Clement street and were fleeing from
the scene in an automobile when
they violated traffic regulation
at 18th and Geary streets.
Officers Elwood Cordray and
Jacob Dahl attemptd to take charge
of the car when suddenly, at the
points of guns, they were forced
inside the machine. Then followed
a wild ride through the Richmond
district which was ended by the
policemen leaping from the machine.
A gun battle followed in which the
bandits escaped.
Three young men were arrested
during the forenoon as suspects in
the case and were being held for
questioning and possible Identified
tion.
At the same time chief O'Brien
ordered a quizzing of the two kid
mapped Officers, demanding an ex-
planation as to why they did not
try to arrest the bandits instead of
leapihg from the machine.
