Thin Figures
Aid to Valley

American feminlnity's desire to
eat and grow thin has proved big
boon to Imperial Valley lettuce
growers,' V. F. Frizzcll, district
Southern Pacific agent, said this
morning. "And it does not adhere
entirely to the lettuce growers bat
tile fruit shippers as well.
cit is recognized as fact that per-
sons wishing to reduce or guard a
gtinst plumpness can eat green veg
etables and fruits without fear of
adding weight. This has proved "a
material advantage here due to the
fact that Imperial Valley supplies
these products to the East at times
in the year when they are not OBJ
t:.inablc in the colder periods eX-
Fcricnccd there.
"The growth Of the lettuce indus
try has been marked by these facts.
Since 1920, shipments over this road
Lave grown from g. ears to 12,787
