Ray Edgar of Edgar Brothers
Realty company gave very cncour-
aging interview on Imperial Valley
conditions yesterday, speaking as
follows: During the years 1920
to 1923, other cities in agricultural
centers over the United States were
showing great activities while FL
Centro was practicaIiy normal.
Within the last three years FL Cen
tro has been making wonderful
growth to make up for the period
of normally
"Morc than 200 residences have
been built within the past Is months
ut an average cost of $500. New
business blocks have been built. COW
cring several thousand square feet
of city property, score Of new in
dustries have been opened up in the
city of FL Centre and the population
mas increased moro than 5000.
This being exclusively an agri-
cultural section, 1eads us to believe
that where the slowing up of build
ing in sections of the United
States has taken place people are
moving with the trend toward the
coast and we are getting good
portion of the new population. Our

it would be safe in saving, there

Although the farmers have met
with some marketing discourage.
mcnt in the past year, farms have
been producing wonderful crops and
indications are that the more scicn-
tific methods now are uscd are GO

now cultivated is producing moro
than the large acreage of former
years thus making it possible for
the cities to keep on expanding even
with less actual acreage under cul-
tivation throughout the valley.
My prohesy is that with the
passing of the Swing-Johnson bill
or some protective measure remov-
ing from the minds of the larg,
financial agencies the fact that We
are about to be washed off the
map, we are going to enjoy one of
the greatest agricultural booms that
any section of the United States
has enjoyed for many, many years.
In comparison to the other agricul-
tural sections we are in n very
healthy condition and my advice to
everyone is to hold on to their real

are on the verge of a real, big come

Eastside Section Develops
Excellent Community Spirit

Community spirit that is unrival
ed in FL Centre, is displayed by this
city's Fastside, composed chiefly OF
colorcd and Mexican citizens, nc
cording to local authorities. This
section of the city has been among
the foremost IN all civic movements
and the residents have done their
utmost to advance every worthy
cause.
The community life of the East
side is largely built around the
school and churches, as is the case
Of most vicinities. The Eastsidc
school is located on the main high
way at the eastern edge of FL Cen
trc, and has an ideal location from
the standpoint Of freedom from CON
sestion of traffic and the rural as
poet it presents. W. A. Pavne, is
the principal of this institution
which comprises junior college,
high and grammar school courses.
and is active in all com.
nunitv affairs. Both the grammar
and high school grades are housed
in the same building, though there
is persistent rumor from reliable
sources that new high school build. !
ing will be forthcoming soon. The
faculty of the school is composed of I
six class room teachers. two voca- !
tional teachers, a musical supervisor !
who visits the school once \ week, !
and the school nurse who is in daily !
attendance. for the grammar school. I
The high school boasts five teachers
besides Principal Payne, who is ac-
tive executive Of the grammar
grades and teaches several high
school subjects. The vocational
teachers, who teach domestic science
and manual training are active both
in tn. high school and grammar
grades.
The courses offered by this
school arc the usual type, embracing
commercial subjects. domestic
science, manual training and the
extensive study Of English as well
as the usual high school curriculum.
The school is branch of the Cen
trail Union high, and is under the
same jurisdiction. with !. I. House
as the nominal principal. The
grammar school has an enrolment of
approximately 300. with an average
daily attendance of go students.
The high school and junior college
attendance totals 40. with 10 stu
dents in the Junior college and so
in the high school.
One of the most beneficial depart
ments of the school is the branch
Of the city library which allows ru-
pills to draw good books under the
same plan on which the city library
is operated. Athletic activities of
the school are numerous. including
basket bali, tennis and volley ball
for both boys and girls. baseball

the organization has developed, the
need and Importance of the moro ac
tive participation of women as wei
as men in every phase of Farm Bur
eau work has grown.
The Farm Bureau is for the pur
pose Of bringing to the entire rura
population, in the freest possible
manner, all of the latest information
from public sources. as well as af
tordlng an organized channel
through which the farmers may at
tempt other service projects of thei.
own.
+ Strong Organization
In structure the Farm Bureau j.
built upon a federation of local
Farm Centers, County Farm Bur
eaus, State Federations, all combin
ed under the American Farm Bur
eau Federation. It serves agrieul
tural primarily and has its roots in
the farming communities.
There are five outstanding things
that the farmer wants and which
the Farm Bureau is endeavoring to
secure for them.
First, efficient production; the
farmer may not be interested in
dumb piling up of agricu ltural
crops regardless Of price. but he
does want to produce cheaply and
efficiently. Since every farmer is
IA manufacturer of agricultural pro
duets from the raw elements of ma
ture, he must avoid wasteful. blind
or brainless production. Second
better merchandising methods; mer.
chandising Of the farmer s products,
involving the steps 10 be taken by
the farmer from the time of har-
vest to the transporting of the crop
to market and placing it before the
consumer. is one of the high spots
in the give things we want" It
is during these processes that or
ganization becomes Indispensable.
Third, higher living standards; the
ultimate aim of organization
through the Farm Bureau is a high
or living standard for farm people.
Greater farm returns through orga-
nization must be coupled with high
err living standards according TO the
plan of the Farm Bureau. Fourth, 4
we'll rounded community. a well
rounded community is an organized
community, n community in which
there are churches, good schools, an
active community Farm Bureau,
boys and girls clubs, rural tele-
phones, community hall, community
spirit, and farmers willing to give
time and money for their own or
ganization. Fifth. an equal oppor-
tunity; agricultural representation
in government, legislation affecting
agriculture, farmer minded mem
bers on public boards and commits
sions and agricultural consideration
in the tariff.
The Imperial County Farm Bur
eau hopes with the proper finan-
eial and moral support of its mem
bers in 1927 to continue working
along these lines and taking up
other matters Of interest for the
benefit of its members and coun-

RESERVES LACKING
IN G. U. GRID SQUAD

WILDWOOD, n. j.. September g.
Work of the first-stringers of the

satisfactory to the coaches, but the ex-
hibition by the reserves was decidedly
ragged In spots. making it plain that

point where they will be able to step
into the breach effectively.
Fine defensive play Of Weldon Mon
son, 1926 reserve, who is strong can
didate for an end position, and James
Mooney and David Muir, other line
aspirants, were features.
John .Tpmaini, an end, and Bob Gehr-
niger, q back, are somewhat under the
weather. Tomaini has a stiff neck
and shoulder and Gehringer twisted
his knee in scrimmage yesterday. Both
are expected to get in the regular
practices, however.
Two former Georgetown grid stars
visited camp yesterday. One was
Jack Haggerty, who last played with
the Blue and Gray in 1925, and who
is with the New York Giants in the
National Pro League. The other was
Eddie Brooks.

men especially who should be very

money to build a field house, an ath
