LONG BEACH MAN
CALLS ATTENTION
TO DATE PALMS

El Centre and Imperial Valley
may have new industry, one which
may grow to important proportions
Herbert Lyons, of Long Beach, has
been in correspondence with the f.
Centre Chamber of Commerce, rela
tive to establishing a nursery foi
the propagation of date palms fol
ornamental paintings. 1t is well
settled fact that. the reclaimed and
irrigated desert areas are ideal TO,
date growing, but interest here has
principally been centered in the
production of dates, with view to
commercial utilization Of the fruit
and the growing here of date palms
to be sold as ornamentals is Il
phase which has probably not been
considered before.
Lyons is most enthusiastic over
the opportunities which the project
offers. In a late communication tC
the chamber of commerce he states:
'El Centro's location is ideal
from the point of receiving the seeds
or setting out the offshoots and fol
distribution. The trees would 90 t.
many parts of the United States
The demand for date palms as or
namentals will be greater than the
supply for many years. The nursery
would require from 80 acres up
wards. \ market is already develop
ed, and waiting.'
II is pynerted that LYONS will
come to FL Centre in the near future
to investigate further the desira
bility of establishing "A palm nur'
sery in this vicinity He spent sew
eral days in FL Centre in July, and
stated he was convinced of the
feasibility of the project.
The first of the year there were
loo acres of land set to dates III
Imperial Valley, and this acreage
was increased somewhat by spring
paintings. Only offshoots were Sc;
out, however, as the growers were
interested principally in production
of fruit. Both here and in Coachella
Valley date growing has become an
important and increasing industry
The handling and marketing of tn,
product has been splendidly and
efficiently done, with necessary at
tention given to the quality of the
fruit. and the result has been al
already stabilized and well cstab
lished industry, with a constantly
widening market.

The harsher it's measures to that end, the more damaging is the effect on the liberties of minorities.

Rev. Father COyle, of St. Mary's Cathedral at Kingston, is quoted as saying:
 Tt is appalling the extent to which drinking is indulged in by young men, even boys of teen age. The drinking habit has reached an unbelievable stage"
 There is no end to the story. They are having the same fight under government control that we are having under prohibition, and that is, to restrain those who never propose to be re- strained by any law"

President, I live in a State which was bone dry according to law before the eighteenth a III endn2 Il t was adopted, but there was no way by which the people of Idaho could protect themselves from those States which were not dry. The people who are now urging | h cir belief in State rights-I am not speaking now Of individuals, but of liquor in- terests-in no sense respected the right of Idaho to be dry. They shipped their wet goods into the State over the border, established their saloons with in five feet of the border, and supplied the State in a way that the State was poWerless to prevent.

 Hon. H. H. Stevens, a public official, said:
 'Never in the history of this country was bootlegging com parable in magnitude and mur- derous results to what it is to- day."
 Now, MT. President, let us take description of the liquor depot in Canada.
 The Montreal warehouse of the Quebec Liquor Commission contains nine acres of floor space and is full of vats, tunS, and hogsheads of alcoholic drinks from it's topmost floor to the cold basement under ground where wines are kept Two large rooms of this building are used for storing the seized wet goods and stills that are con- stantly being taken from Mon treal bootleggers, smugglers, and proprietOrs of blind pigs.

 Let me quote from another source. Tn the Montreal Star I find the following headlines:
 Innocent girls lured into dens."
 And again:
 "Dens of iniquity f1ourishing here must go."
 These are the places, so the report shows, where liquor is sold either legally or illegally.
 Attorney General Craig re- gently said:
 Seventy five per cent of the troubles of law enforcement are now due to the illicit sale of beer and most of that is due to the brewers that furnish the supplies and abuse the priVi- leges granted to them under the government liquor control act"
