TRADE SURV EY
OF ORIENT BY
PROF. CR0CHERON

It was announced today by V. W..
/ DeTar, farm advisor, that the Di-
rector Of Agricultural Extension, B.
Il. Crocheron, will investigate mar
ket opportunities for California
fruit crops in the Far East. DeTar
stated that Professor Crocheron
will go as a special trade commits
sioner of the United States Depart
ment OF Commerce, which is CO.
operating in the project.
While the opportunities FOR the
marketing of fresh fruits, shipped
under refrigeration, will not be
overlooked, Professor Crocheron S
principal study will be that Of the
market possibilities for canned and
dried products. which are less
perishable and which therefore
present larger opportunities. He
will spend at least seven months in
China, Japan, India, and other
countries Of the Far East. and may
extend his Investigations to 4 full
year.
Wesley O. Ash, district manager
Of the commerce department offices
in San Francisco, advises that thu
federal department, through its
farflung string of offices in the
Orient, win lend its facilities in
every possible way through the
arrangement Of meetings, confer
ences, etc. Fruit trade organizations
and farmers associations in Cali
fornia also are cooperating by.
furnishing samples of packed fruit
which win be used by Professor
Crocheron to determine the size
and kind Of pack demanded in the
territories visited.
Much Of the public discussion re-
garding Oriental trade for Califor-
MIA fruits has come since Professor
Crocheron disclosed the results of
his tour in that territory three
wears ago He has, however. steadily
advised that more detailed and
con prchensive studies should be
made before public or private or
ganizations invest any large sums in
trade promotion in that territory.
AS a result of Professor Crocheron )
previous trip, trade commissioners
OF the United states government
have been making studies in the
Orient, all of which will be gather
ed into trade report ly this IN
yestigation.

TWO VARIETIES
OF FISH PLANNED
FOR SALTON SEA

Sport fishing $50 feet below sea
level will be latest inducement of
fered by Imperial valley, land Of
the unusual when the present plans
of the state department of fish and
game are carried out. Not only will
there be fish planted in the Salton
Sea, according to Mvron D. Witter
who is in close touch with those
studying the project, but the fish
ing enthusiasts will have their choice
of fish.
In letter received by Robert
Hays, secretary of the FL Centro
Chamber of Commerce, Saturday,
Witter stated that experts are rath
er doubtful whether they could
make the change Of the fish Mt this
time, as the northern fish, now in
the possession of the fish and game
bureau, are from fresh water and
to make a success of the project
conditions should be identical. For
that reason they have decided to
wait until the fall months.
According to Witter, ". II.
Shelby,in charge of the bureau of
fish culture, favors the planting of
weakfish, in addition to the striped
bass which have already been ar
ranged for. The weakfish is an
eastern game fish which will take
4 spinner and Shelley states that
they are greatly favored for sport
fishing throughout sections wholc
they abound. 1t is believed now that
both varieties of fish will be plant
ed in the Salton Sea and the out
come of the experiment will be
awaited with great interest by those
who care for sport fishing as we'll
as the state officials who have TAX
en- an interest in the matter from
more scientific viewpoint.

COR0NER'S WORK
HOLDS MUCH OF
HUMAN INTEREST

The coroner s office-one of tht
most summed, and one of the least
Of interest 10 the general public-
is perhaps, one of the most efficient
nnd in several phases, one OF tbs
most interesting Of all departments
Of government.
Here the mysteries of life and
death are handled in a matter OF
fact manner. The rich and power
ful are equal to the poor and low.
R-in the eyes of the coroner and
his assistants. Certain things must
be done and they are-efficiently
and without ostentation.
Here are found the records of
those who have died violent,
self-inflicted or natural death. They
tell of what the possessor possibly
would not divulge in life
The trinkets, letters, pocket
pieces, lodge cards, pocket6ooks,
coins, sometimes deadly weapons
which are taken from the bodies of
those who have lived, loved and
passed on, tell stories vastly more
interesting than any fiction.
Here, in FL Centre, the coroner,
for the past six years, has handled
"cases' that for sheer thrills and
interesting data compare with the
most fascinating detective novel.
Here is an album, filled with
pictures of those who have met
with violent death. Here is another
Of suicides. Another of those who
have passed Oh from various causes
after fulfilling their destiny.
Here is a great cupboard in
which is package after package
each labeled and filed away. In
each package are personal effects
of those who have never been iden-
titled.
The coroner's office perhaps is
not delightful place for afternoon
tea but for interest it can not be
equalled.
And the queer part Of it all is
that no matter how long We shun
the place we all wind up there
sooner or later.
