What will it cost to grow these

Will there be any money to be
made in growing crop of onions

a few If the questions that con-
front the farmer of the county,
who is contemplating the planting
Of a crop of onions.
There is but little doubt that it
is possible to grow an onion in
Santa Cruz county that compares
favorably with the imported onion
in size. color, shape, flavor and
Eepihg qualities. A few acres Of
~sne Sweet Spanish onions were
grown in the county in 1924.
Several different varieties OF
strains were tried. The most sat

LOS ANGELES BUSINESS MEN TO

Several important deals are
pending and prospects look bright
er than they have in a good many
years in the Patagonia district, it
was stated yesterday by Ed Bob
linger, mining man, a visitor in the
city.
"The district is keepin up it's
regular shipments of two or 300
tons of ore a month";. and some
very big deals are pending, de-
clared Bohlinger.
The Big Jim people who recent
ly took over the Blue Nose (the

Onion Growing in Santa Cruz

about 10000 pounds to the acre.
1t is reported that in Cochise coun-
ty, in 1923 one fSrmer grew Co..
900 pounds of the Nalencias to the
acre. The yield in Santa Cruz
county last year was from $4,000
to $4,000 pounds to the acre.
A yield of $4,000 to 10000
pounds to the acre would net a
nice profit to the grower at the
prices paid for these onions the
lpast year. The local crop was
sold locally ss from four to six
cents a pound, averaging around
four cents. A crop Of $1,000
pounds to the acre would give .
gross return Of 100000 per acre
at four cents a pound.
The cost Of production will vary
according to conditions on the in
dividual farm. On the E. S.
Magruder farm at Amado, where
several acres were grown last
year, the cost of production was a
little under $4,000 an acre. On
the Victor Wager ranch, the coun-
ty agent kept an accurate record
on the cost of q single acre and the
cost for the acre was $174.27.
Howevr, if Il Is possible to grow
10000 pounds Of onions on an
acre and sell them for four cents
pound, even tho the cost is
100000 an acre the net profit il
also $4,000 an acre.
The question Of market for
the onions is one Of the first ques-
tions raised by the average farm
er, contemplating the growing of
crop of onions. If the onions
are properly graded and Grated,
there should be no trouble in sell
ing them. The United States i'm
ports approximately 100000
crates a year Of these particular
variety of onion each year. There
is duty Of one cent pound on
the imported onions, consequent
ty the local farmer should have no
trobule in competing with the i'm
ported onion.

Protection From Fire

Wood frame is infiammable. Hence
measures should be taken-not to pre-
vent its use-but SO to protect it that
the fire is resisted. There are impor-
tant points in every rsidence where
fires are likely to start, These, too,
should be made able to resist the
greedy tongues of flame. Unless a
home becomes safe in itself it becomes
a menace to all others around it. In
cities of any size the houses and
apartments are building closer to one
another Compactness and space con-
servation is the thing. But compact
ness increases risk and the public
must be made to realize the dangers.
Great con1agrations can show them
the way, but the losses are too appall-
ing for the example. Exposition of
facts is the real road to the mind Of
the great mass of citizens. Fire pre-
vention societies, therefore, can do no
greater service than to spread their
valuable propaganda to architects and
builders-the men who hold the leash
to the fire risks in buildings. These
men, with arguments given them by
specialists, will be only too glad to
make the houses they design and build
safe for home owner and community.

Economy Worth While

Saving for purpose is particularly
stimulating, and above all when the
saving is toward home. For years
we have been saying, save, save, save.
Such admonition has little effect unless
back of it there is a clearly defined
purpose. We do our best only when
we are saving for something definite.
The object must be something worth
while; it must have a strong appeal
and it must be something possible Of
attainment.
Owning a home has a tremendous
appeal to mosi men and women, it is
something most of them can attain,
and might be more stressed as the
end of saving by a greater number of
building and loan associations.-Ex-

Mistake to Postpone
Proper Use of Paint

Although paint improves appear
ances, and many people paint buildings
for that reason alone, the chief pur-
pose of painting should be to preserve
buildings, fences and implements from
the effects OF the weather. The cheap
est way to keep buildings in good con-
dition is to paint them at regular
periods. The farmer who does his
own painting has decided advantage
if he has a knowledge of the different
kinds of paints and their adaptability.
He knows how to mix paint, prepare
the surface to be painted, how to put
the paint on, and he knows the same
about whitewashing. Farmers nova
days do not put as much thought on
these things as they used to, especial
ly in some sections of the country.
Painting should not be put off too long,
because if the wood has begun to rot,
or the iron has begun to rust, the rot
ting and rusting will continue after
the paint is applied. Besides, the
longer painting is put off the harder
and more expensive it becomes.-Path-

Law, if Enforced, Would
Deport Many Now Estab-

Washington.-If the present immi-
grafton law should be enforced strict
ly 100000 people of foreign birth now
living in the United States would be
deported. This discovery is one of sew
eral startling things that have come to
the attention of Harry E. Hull, the
new commissioner general of immigra-
ton, since he took office on May 16.
Within a verv few weeks Commission
er Hull has found that the immigration
service of the United States has be-
fore it one of the hardest sets of prob
lens confronting any branch of the
federal government
Many of the 100000 aliens who are
here without legal right have taken
root in the economic life of the coun-
try and established themselves as use
full members of their communities.
Some of them have been in America
for twenty years or longer. The letter
of the law would send them away be-
cause they would be unable, if called
upon, to show satisfactory proof that
they entered the country in the man
ner specified by rule. Many of them
think that they did so enter, but the
immigration authorities run across
people every day who lack the proof,
and officialdom is required continually
to answer the battling question of what
to do with them.
No Right to Return.
Some of these questionable resi-
dents have risen to be important busi-

Food Combinations IL
Is Wisdom to AUoid

The recent death of Chin Hong, a
Chinese laundryman of Baltimore, aft
er a luncheon consisting of cherry pie
and milk, calls attention strongly to
the fact that certain food combinations
may be highly dangerous, though the
component parts are harmless enough
individually, Chin Hong's death is not
attributed to indigestion but to blood
letting practiced by Chinese doctors,
but his luncheon made him seriously
i'll.
Cherry pie and milk make combi-
nation dangerous to Americans as well
as Orientals, though a few persons are
able to assimilate them successfully.
A similarly dangerous dietary group
ing is that of bananas and alcoholic
liquors, especially if the bananas are
not fully ripe.
1t is best, in any event, to avoid
either of these food combinations at
any time Of the year.

This problem Of the 1000 900 finds

This problem of the 2,OO00 900 finds
its origin in past practices. The first
restriction law of 1921 reversed entire
Iy the cGuntry's open-door policy in
immigration Naturally this about face
created Il situation that could not be
foreseen. The problem involves more
people than any other now before the
immigration service, and around it
most of the other problems of the serv-
ice revolve in some way.
According to the 1920 census the
number of aliens in the United States
over twenty-one years of age then was
4,522, $50 The number of aliens under
twenty-one years of age was 1926.
The number of aliens over twenty-One

zens, and all told those who are still

may or may not have been declarants.
The estimate of 100000 unable to
prove their entry was made by officials
after examining the manner in which
records have been presented.
The practice of the immigration au-
thorities when an application to go
abroad is made is to ask that the ap-
piicant prove legal entry. When he is
unable to do so the officials are unable
10 certify thereto and to give him the
permit to re-enter. If he goes abroad
it is at the great risk of staying there.
The situation has been found to
work hardships one Of the worst be-
ing the separating of families. Some
men have gone abroad thinking the
necessary card would follow them.
Meanwhile the bureau has been un-
able, after searching the records, to
discover the proof and the card has

Every Citizen Owes

1t is a duty of great Importance for
every citizen of city or town to give
his unlimited aid in improving his COM

Grit.
A well-appearing city not only voices
the lives and characters of a mass, but
of separate individuals. Every citizen
should make it his duty to not only i'm
prove his own surroundings, but to i'm
prove those Of his neighbor by sugges-
tiOn and helpful aid.
By experience many people have
found that beauty and order draw out
the best in them and make them aspire
to do higher, more noble deeds. A
mean, narrow mind cannot long exist
in a location where beauty, order and
peace are a law and a religion. The
far-seeing, thinking parent should see
that the growing minds of the home,
from babyhood, receive the benefits
derived from order and cleanliness. If
all the parents of our country would

cleanliness and neatness before the

Talk of Blanket Relief.

If all Of the 100000 were desirable
as citizens it would be quite easy to
solve the problem, say, through an act
of congress admitting them into citi-
Zenship. Unless there is some admin
istrative remedy congress will have 20
prov. lie some sort of relief. Commits
si0ner Hull believes the Importance OF
the matter has been little understood
bv the public at large while congress
does not seem to have grasped it. rec
ords of debates showing little or no
attention paid TO it by the lawmakers
1t is pointed out that any blanket
law that congress might pass covering
the 100000 would admit many as
citizens who could not prove their
worthiness, physical, mental or moral.
to become Americans, and that the re-
strictive tests now imposed on appli-
cants coming to us under the quota
law would thus be nullitied to seri-
Gus extent.
The administrators of the law have
undertaken to treat the trouble with
the greatest liberality and with the
result that so far none of this class
has been deported pending formulation
of definite policy. Mr.. Hull intends.
as far as permissible, to take the hu-
name view and treat each case on its
merits.
