Report of Valley
Crops Indicates
Wide Div er sity

"Fcw persons realize" says
Robert Hays, secretary Of the cham
Der of commerce, "the great variety
of garden crops which are today
grown commercially in Imperial
Valley. I have before me the crop
report, dated October |, of Chief
Engineer nowd, of the Imperial Ir-
rigation District. One cannot but be
impressed with the great diversity
of our vegetable crops, which are
produced in commercial quantities. -
The report to which Hays alludes
gives the acreage of the following
crops: Lettuce, cantaloupes, honey
dews, honeyballs, Persians, casabas,
cucumbers, beans, peas, onions,
tomatoes, spinach, carrots, Sweet
Anis, peanuts, endive, cauliflower,
turnips, cabbage, egg plant, peppers,
chicory, squash, sweet potatoes,
bects, potatoes.
Paintings of spring cantaloupes,
now being made, will exceed the
acreage of all other crops of this
kind. 1t is estimated that such
planting will exceed this year s 80,
600 acres. Nearly a 1000 acres of
fall cantaloupes and melons are in
cludcd in Dowd s report. Lettuce
with 26,36l acres, is the second
vegetable crop in Importance. Peas

fourth on the list, being credited
with 676 acres. Three hundred acres
are devoted to the culture of

in cucumbcrs. Cabbage and squash
run about even, with something
like $50 acres devoted to each crop
Other vegetables follow with small
er acrcagcs, the smallest being egg
plant, Of which the District report
one single acre grown.
Not In Season Elsewhere
The list is an imposing one and
shows what Imperial Valley is capa
Bile of doing. 1t should be noted
that nearly all these vegetables are
unreasonable, or unreasonable in
other regions; that is, they are now
being grown in Imperial Valley dur.

Astrologers read tomorrow as a
threatening day in which MANY nalehc
aspects are operating.
It is a rule under which to avoid
politics and legal matters. for there
is a menacing sign governing what
ever requires logic or real diplomacy.
For those who seek employment
there is a faint hope Of success, but
they should be careful not to accept
small wages. astrologers declare.
Business matters may be easily dis
turbed under this direction Of the stars.
and it is we'll TO postpone all new
ventures.
Uranus is in an aspect that bodies
I'll for well-balanced decisions. and 1t
is wise to defer definite moves in i'm
portant matters.
Tomorrow is read as an unlucky day
for aviation, not only for those who
sail the skies, but for proper develop
ment in new enterprises.
There may be a contentious spirit
manifested In business. as we'll as do
mestic relations. and for this reason
important discussions should be post
poned.
Much talk Of war will be evident in
the public prints as the year advances,
and the military forces will command
attention in the United States.
One sign of a return OF interest in
the Army and Navy will be public

GERS who have served with distinction
In the Spring. the United States will

character will meet with success.
Persons whose birth date 1t is have

Jumper the Hare is perfectly aware
that he is somewhat slow of wit. He
knows full we'll that he is not as smart
in some ways as some of his ne!ghbors.
1t Is seldom that he can save himself by
his wit. He saves himself usually by
his long heels. But he has some wit,
as most folk do. and he tries to make
the most OF 1t.
When Jumper first started TO run
from Shadow the Weasel and Billy
Mink he simply headed straight into
the Green Forest. with no real plan.
He just meant to keep on running as
long as he could. He felt that II he
ran long enough and far enough his
enemies would become tired of follow

Deer and Mrs. Lightfoot and the two

You didn't know that Lightfoot lives
In a yard? Well. he does. That Is the
