THE LETTUCE DEAL

While Imperial Valleys lettuce crop is in a precar-
ious condition at this time it is hoped that the action
taken by the in curtalng shipments will have
the desired effect and that ultimately the season will
close with at least even break for the growers
The splendid cooperation shown by the lettuce men
in sticking by their agreement to suspend lettuce cut
ting over the recent Weekend is another instance OF
the fine spirit that pervades in this industry
For several years past the growers have assessed
themselves to provide funds for rigid inspection OF
lettuce the end that only the best quality may be
shipped from the valley This fact of assessing ones
self for inspection of produce handled for profit is
unique to say the least. The lettuce have cheer
fully borne the expense.
There plenty of food for thought in the suggestion
made in the resolution adopted by the board of super
visors that the lettuce acreage be reduced hereafter
to avoid over-production.
Until an orderly system of distribution is worked
out there bound to be considerable loss in handling
such gigantic crop in sue ha short space of time
The spirit shown by the lettuce in supplying
funds for inspection Of their product and the willing
to cooperate shown in the recent suspension of
lettuce cutting encourages the hope that ultimately
they will adopt cooperative form of marketing,
similar to those prevailing in the raisin, walnut and
orange industries thereby putting the lettuce deal
a money-making basis and eliminating much of the dis
satisfaction and loss that results from the present
methods of handling what should always be profit
able crop.

Much complaint is made of the

THE ARBOR DAY SEASON

Arbor Days are not observed quite all the way
around the calendar though states in the south
do have them in October, November December and
January For most of the states however, Arbor Day
is observed in the spring The season that is locally
right for tree planting is the that should hold
Arbor Day.
The growth of interest in this special day is interest
ing and important. The more trees are talked about
in schools and clubs the more trees are planted in
peoples yards and on public property the more grow
trees properly pruned and cared for the better
for the whole country.
Trees for shade for beauty for BIRDS for fruit for
timber and other uses cannot be had unless people
continue to take thought for them. If simply used
trees without caring for them or replacing then-as
our policy for long time-we would find oursel-
yes some time without trees.
So let the tree day recitations and paintings and
celebrations go on participated in by many children
as possible. Children interested in trees today will
probably retain that interest through life and will
greatly advance in future years intelligent national
policy in behalf of trees.

They are unhappy and they want
sympathy. They forget that every
body has about the same amount
of trouble during a lifetime. They
think they have it cornered.
There are ways Of getting away
from oneself when this depression
threatens. Laugh upon the slight
est pretext. Find something to
read that will make you smile.
Seek the company Of somebody
who is cheerful and good natured.
Put on your most becoming
clothes and 10 buy yourself some
thing that will please your van
ity. Even If the family has to
do without some little luxury. in
order for this bit of pampering,
they will rejoice in the exchange.
Assume some degree Of cheerful
ness at home, whether you feel
it or not. If YOU persist in ASSUME
ing It,. you will actually forget to-
be blue quite as often.
It Is a tragic thing for little
children to live in a house of
gioom. They need the sunshine
iof love and laughter and gladness
to make them grow right. And
as children think and feel, so will
they be. There is no getting
around that fact.
