PRODUCE FIRM
ADOPTS POLICY.
OF OWNING LAND

Sawdcy & Hunt, one OF the larg-
est produce firms in Imperial Val
Icy, purchased this week through
W. +. Hancock, local realtor, the
Vosburg ranch near Bonds Corners,
at a cash price Of $4,000.
The firm has been operating in
the valley for the past eight years
and in the past three years has pur,
chased approximately 1900 acres
through Hancock. Their lettuce
acreage, the majority Of which is
on leased land, runs from 2,OC0 to
1000 acres.
In addition to this huge lettuce
crop the firm also carries on an cX-
tansivc farming business, raising al
talfa, wheat, corn, carrots and other
vegetables.
Believing that ownership is prefer
able to leasing, the firm has grad
ually been acquiring acreage, with
the idea Of building up the soil to
the highest degree of fertility. EX-
tensivc experiments in this line by
the firm have shown alfalfa and
Wild hemp to be very desirable as
soil builders. Wild hemp can be
grown after lettuce crop has been
harvested and is plowed under be
fore preparing for lettuce in the
fall. The results have been highly
satisfactory.
With new conditions prevailing in
the valley from now on, Hancock
and Sawdcy & Hunt hold the opinion
that each year more of the larg.
produce firms will see the adNan
tage Of owning land rather thar
leasing it.

In City Park

LOS ANGELES, Oct. "a. U.p-
Discovery of the body of Carl Druhm
of San Francisco, in Echo park with
bullet through his right temple

walking through the park.

that they noticed blood streaming
down his face. A passport lying
next to him on the bench gave his

Webster Street, San Francisco.
Druhm had been dead about three
hours.
Although no gun could be found
near the body, Captain Ray Cato,

ARRESTS EXPOSE I.
PLOT TO CHEAT
STATE OF TAX

LOS A/dELES, Oct. q. U.P)-
An asserted conspiracy on the part
of customers of at least six major
oil companies, themselves nrocent,
to defraud the state OF California
of its three cent tax on gasoline,
was revealed late yesterday, when
investigators for the sheriff s Of
flee arrested three men on a charge
of conspiracy to commit grand theft.
According to the sheriff s office,
the investigation started when the
Mcmillan Oil Company reported the
loss of numerous car loads of gaso-
line by means of forged delivery or
ders. 1t was found that the stolen
gasoline was way billed to Arizona,
evading the state tax, but instead of
going to Arizona was put aboard
tankers, relanded under forged pap
erS and sold to independent dealers.
Alvin NJ. Byrne. William Patillo
and Clarence NJ. Hewlett are the ar
rested men.
Accordi>> to the investigators re-
ports, in one month moro than $780,
GOO worth of gasoline was stolen.
The loss. it was said, was covered
by charging the amount to cvapora.
tion and spillage.
Gyrne, Patillo and Hewlett are
scheduled to appear in superior court
in Long Beach on November II to
answer the charges.

.'There has been much contradic-

"There is no doubt that Eunice
