Its dark corners were used for nests

Crippled Dog and
Cop Stage Race

"Timmy,'' small brown and
white dog owned by Ross T..
Hickox. has only three legs. If he
had four Officer !. w. Vivian would
probably be chasing him yet.
The reason Vivian felt called upon
to chase "Timmy' is that late yes
terday Hiekox called up the police
to report that Timmy had disap-
peared
''If you see him, YOU can catch
him easily said Hickox. He is
crippled. He has only three legs.
To which Vivian retorts today
Try and do it. -
Vivian saw the dog walking along
Fifth street near Brighton street
yesterday afternon. Spurred ON the
thoughts of the - reward HickcoX
had offered for return of Timmy,
Vivian leaped into action.
Timmv leaped with him. After a
chase Of four blocks and just as the
officer was gaining on the three
legged speedster, Timmy turned,
lodged between Vivian s legs and
tumbled the officer to the ground.
BY this time the neighborhood was
aroused and bets were being offered
with odds of two to one, and no tax
erS, that the fleeing animal would
escape.
The chase continued another block
and again Vivian caught up with
Tmmv. This time when Tmmy
turned Vivian fell ON him and the
chase was over. Timmy was not
injured Vivian returned him to
Hickox. He insists it was the hard
est - he ever earned.

Declare Cotton
Crop Production
Is Disappointing

Proof Of the value Of the advice
Of the extension service men here
is again given in the report made
yesterday n the farm advisor : of
flee ON the results of planting mon
grel cotton.
Inspector NcKeever. United Stat
IS department of agriculture man,
stationed at Indio, and Inspector
Beckett. in charge of the Bard ex-
pertinent station, were in FL Centre
yesterday while ON a tour of in
spection Of cotton here and in Low
er California.
Beckett reports that there are ap-
proXimately 5000 acres of Acala cot
ton in the Coachella Valley. which
will Weld an average of Il bale to
the acre. Imperial Valleys show
ing is disappointing by comparison,
some 24oQ- acres Of cotton being es-
timated ~ a yield of from a quarter
to a third Of abale to the acre.
For several years the extension
officials have urged the planting
of Acala cotton. The advice has
been diSrcgardcd with the result
that Imperial Valley was sown to
various AMI sundrv types Of cotton,
some suited to the valley in a de-
gree and others practically worth
less in this climate The result is
significant in the above report, the
farm advisors office states.
Sharply contrasted with this han
