HECKE PLEASED
WITH SEEDS ON

G. IL. IIcckc, director of the State
. Department of Agriculture, during
his visit to Imperial Valley last
week, expressed Il deep Interest in
.hr quality Of seeds that are being
Offered for sale to the farmers !;
/ especially was he interested in the
alfalfa seed that is on the market
at the present time. He stressed the
fact that the best seed that the
market offered was in the long run
more economical. This thought was
brought out by the report that there
is at the present time hoing offer
cd for sale an inferior blend Of al
f.lfa seed which consists of an uu-
certain amount of good seed mixed
with low grade scorchcd and heat
ed seed salvaged from warehouse
that WAS recently burned.
This being true. the real value of
such n blend would depend upon the
percent of seed of known value
used. The scorched and heated seed
used might be Of such low germina-
/ iion that they would amount to lit
! tie if any value on account of the
small per cent that would germnatc
and develop into plants of weak re-
s;Stanrc to the elements that enter
into tics growing of successful
! crop.
Heekc stated that reports Of the
! "bove nature were very limited in
/ California as whole. and in I'm.
prrial Valley especially. The quality
of alfalfa seed grown in the south
west was never better than it !,

men enough, send for your command
er-in-chief and | will come and help
you second time"
This corporal was thunder struck.
1t was Washington!
A French doctor once taunted Flech-
er Bishop of Nisimes, who had been
la tallow chandler in his youth, with
the manners of his origin, to which he
replied, "If you had been born in the
same condition that | was, you would
still have been but a maker of cam
dies"
There is no shame in honest labor,
however humble it may be. Wise in
deed are the parents who thus teach
their children. Beecher in speaking of
men who were ashamed of labor, says,
After they have built up a business
and amassed fortune, they say to
their sons: you shall lead a different
life; you shall never do as | have done;
you shall be spared all this. Oh rich
mems sons, they aim to lead a life of
emascolated idleness and laziness, like
the poylp that floats useless and nasty
upon the sea, all jelly and fabby, no
muscle, no bone, it shuts and opens
and opens and shuts; it sucks and
squirts out again. Of no earthly ac-
count, influence or use-such are the
poor fools.
Their parents toiled and grew strong
built up their forms of iron and bone,
but denying all this to their sons they
then turn them upon the world bone
less, muscleless, simply gristle, and
soft at that.
An Italian proverb says: "They that
labor are tempted by one devil; he
that is idle by thousand"
Honest labor is abundantly fruitful
in blessings for the wealthy, and
would be for the poor if it was not
for the greedy rich. When skilled la
bar realizes his Importance in thhe
world assets he will have little trouble
to receive his remuneration if he acts
on business principals, and stands for
truth and justice.

LIES TEETER TOTTER

Picture as THESE lines you read,
The old-time teeter board
Which filled the boys with prankish
glee
That dainty girls abhorred.
You will remember too, no doubt,
How two young scamps would ride
That creaking, friendly teeter board,
To soar up high they tried.
Up and down the old board went;
The up ride was great fun,
They'd shift their weight to make it
go,
Until the ride was done.
And life is like that teeter board,
With all those same old thrills;
With piercing shouts and merriment!
And all the tricky spills.

way. This may be a week longer.
Opponents of the bill succeeded in their fillibus-
ter during the first four days Of the week and quit the
fight strong enough to resume it vigorously when the
bill is brought up again The outlook is not encour-
