Valley shippers are generally agreed that X the

tanned.
ut no tim. In recent years has the outlook for q
strong cabbage market been better. Stored stocks
have been used, accumulated stocks are depleted, and
several Of the competing sections sustained severe
crop damage from the recent freeze. Shipprs who are
in close contact with the markets state that every con-
dition indicates a steady demand and profitable price.
The Valley growers need the profits OF $50 cabbage,
but Il Il obvious they will not attain them unless they
cooperate in orderly marketing Of the crop. There
should be perfect coordination Of interests between
the grower and shipper. The leading shippers have
announced their readiness 20 cooperate, and II now Is
up TO the growers to do their part. IL they are going
to insist upon the shippers handling all cabbage with
out regard TO the effect on the markets, the shippers
will be forced to do It.
The cold wave, which reduced cutting from fOI cars
Friday TO 81 cars Monday. has done much to stabilize
the market for the cabbage growers. Nature has aided
them: they should now endeavor to aid themselves By
placing the remainder OF The crop on the markets in
accord With the demand and TO refuse 70 ship until
they are assured at least $50 per ton.
There will be no ~hesitsney on the part OF the deal
srs in market centers to pay that price II they have
the assurance the growers are not going to dump their
crop on The markets.

A GROUND JOB FOR LINDBERGH
(BeaumOnt Enterprise).

Now that Colonel Lindbergh's engagement 70 a
daughter Of Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow has been
announced. the colonels friends may demand that some
work be found for him to do that will keep him on
the ground. Colonel ~Lindbcrgh IS a marvellous flier,
but according to the law Of averages, he cannot con-
tinue TO fly. often making hazardous trips, without
having an accident.
Every time the colonel flies over inaccessible jun
giles and mountain peaks where il would be impossible
for him to make a forced landing safely, in the event
that something went wrong with his airplane, he risks
his life. It is coming to be though that much OF the
risk Is unnecessary. Public anxiety has been felt Tor
the coIonels safety on several occasions, the latest
when he became overdue at Havana.
The colonel always manages to turn up safe and
sound, but this cannot 20 on forever. Luck plus his
uncanny flying skill has not prevented accidents. He
made four parachute jumps to save his life, before he
became famous.
Lindberyh may laugh At the suggestion that he
should remain on the ground and give up flying. 1t
might be a great sacrifice TO abandon what Is for him
both a pastine and a profession. And YET he has
done all he can accomplish for aviation as a flier. il
he Is to serve aviation in the future, II must be IN
otherways, by putting his extensive knowledge nc the
command Of the government or private agencies en-
gagged in aviation development.
A fatal accident TO Lindbergh would be deplored
because OF his great popularity. the esteem and affee-
ton that he has won by his heroism, ability as an av-
iator and modesty, but it would be regretted also Pc
cause the nation would lose a young man who still can
do n great deal 70 advance aviation, rs a member OF the
presidents cabinet or in some other capacity where
his knowledge and experience will be more usefui tnan

An Exploded Theory

Tn an editorial on the tariff, the Alma. Michigan.
Journal says: "To the dairy farmers, as tariff bens-
ficiaries, can be added the sugar beet growers Of the
west, and those who produce sheep and beef cattle.
Then we must not forget the citrus grower OF the
south, and his southern neighbor who raises fancy
garden truck for the northern market. Neither Of
these could live without tariff protection. The old
cry that the tariff does not help the farmer has been
exploded.

JESSE JONES IN NEW YORK CITY
fisherman Democracy.

uCLhAo
New York City, accustomed to big operations, now
finds something interesting in the greatest builder Of
the southwest, since he was called TO their attention
when Houston secured the national democratic con-
vcntion. When Jesse II. Jones of Houston goes TO the
nations metropolis, he is not only listened to but Is
sought out by reporters OF the daily press for inter-
views.
Il is interesting to note that the New York Times
omstimes called the greatest newspaper in this coun-
try. carried an interview in a Sunday issue recently,
quoting Mr.. Jones at length on real estate and real
estate values. It is singular that New York, the city OF
the greatest real estate development in the world,
should listen 70 this man from a newly developed sec
ton on matters which no doubt many New Workers
feel they only are situated to know.
"ReaI estate is a thoroughly sound and simple bust
ness" Mr.. Jones Is quoted as saying. "Yet bankers,
for the most part, have not understood 1t as well rs
they might. The more conservative bankers have not
regarded real estate investments as sufficiently liquid,
although good real estate securities will command
money when many other kinds &c begging. The rea-
son is that the investor can see his security, and IN
no event can there be very much ~shrinkage in his in
come or principal"
Speaking Of labor, Mr.. Jones is quoted as saying
that probably % per cent Of the cost Of a building Is
for labor in the final analysis, "when the cost OF every
m~aterial-that or mining. milling. producing, trans
porting, manufacturing, distributing and the final in
staling-is taken into account. necessarily tncn, TX
building operations fall off labor becomes idle and
business conditions grow unfavorable. at Is for this
reason that sound real estate financing should be IA
vorcd by bankers and investors" he concluded.
Mr.. Jones is now completing = tower building IN
New York City, one which will be among the tallest
in the city. His realty holdings in New York and
