ABOUT HIRsUTE TAPESTRIES

America needs more whiskers, says
a New York pastor, declaring boards
once were symbols of righteousness
and success: In those days, whenever
a man misplaced his razor for a
couple of days he would be elected
an elder in the church. During
the Civil war whiskers went to such
lengths that a man with smooth
face would be rejected for military
service. Cigarets and the
rising costs of fire insurance did
much to bob the vogue of facial
tapestries. 1t used to be
fun to watch a man with heavy
chin foliage try to acquire the con-
tents of beaker of beer. Now he
hasn't either the beer or the whskers
to waste it on. This whisker
propaganda looks suspiciously like
some "Sell More Soup" advertising.
Men who used to buy soup for their
whskers now buy it only for their
vests.

Rice Meetings
Are Announced

The best time and method of
draining rice fields, harvesting, and
threshing Of rice will be discussed
at two meetings next week. These
are being arranged by the agricultur-
al extension service and the agrl-
cultural experiment station. One
meeting will be held at John McCart-
ncy's one mile north of Brawley on
the Power Line Road at 9:30 a. H..
Thursday, October 18th. The other
will be held at the University of
California Experiment Station sew
en- miles east of FL Centre at Melo-
land at 3 p. III. Thursday, October
18th. Prof. w. w. Mackie of the
University of California will be down
from Berkeley for these meetings.
1t is particularly urged that all
who can attend the experiment stat.
ion meeting. Rice growers will be Ia
tcrested in the results shown by a
series of plots embracing three vari
cites, each planted three weeks apart
from May lst to July oath. Other
plots show contrast between rice
that was brought up by continuous
irrigation and that which received
alternate irrigations. Still another
experiment shows the effect of hav-
ing the water shut off for three
weeks during August This was con-
Quoted to learn the effect of a wat
or shortage at this season upon the
development of the rice crop.

Taking a new lease on life follow
ing the announcement that an indoor

places him. Frank will catch. His
brother Earl will also be a slave.
Frank s son Kay will be slave num-

abuse in sight. Fred Gianola wants
to play in the outfield so he can

Burt Lemons has been signed up,
his application being one of the first
received. Burt has an eye to bust
ness, figuring that the hasbeens
will probably be run to death chas-
ing flies and he will profit thereby.

of the poor house, another outfielder,
will take care of them.

indoor team, the captain is looking
for two more rockies and has appli-
cations from Sam Danenberg, Bill

eight interesting grapefruit growers

Frank Beyschlag.
l. That the fertility in young
orchard up to the time it is six or
seven years old can probably be
most economically built up and
maintained by the use of both sum-
mer and winter leguminous cover
crops.
2. With young bearing trees from
six to IL years of age that the
summer cover crop be discontinued
since it appears to usually depress
yields Of fruit. The use of the win
ter cover crop should be continued
and enough bulky organic fertilizer
should be added each fall to supply
a total of two pounds of actual nitro
gen per tree. Ordinary barnyard
manure has an average nitrogen con
tent of 1-2 percent. Damaged alfalfa
hay averages two percent nitrogen.
ii is estimated that good cover
crop has replacement value of
three to five tons of barnyard man
ure. 1t is essential that the cover
crop be plowed under early in Jan
Gary so as not to compete with the
trees in the spring.
3. Mature trees IL years old and
older should receive two to three
pounds of actual nitrogen per tree.
Sixty percent of this nitrogen should
be obtained from fall applications of
bulky organic fertilizers. The re-
naming 40 percent of nitrogen
should preferably be applied in con
