LINDY REPEATS

Colonel Lindbergh has again shown
he is far from becoming back number
in aviation, and that he still is to be
reckoned as the No. flyer.
His remarkable trip across the contin-
ent yesterday makes one wonder just
where our mania for speed is going to
end. Less than Is hours after leaving
the Pacific coast, he was climbing out of
his plane on Roosevelt field, scene of de-
parture for his historic trip to France.
His actual flying time was IA hours,
Is minutes and 20 seconds, and the trip
included one stop at Wichita. Travelling
at tremendous speed and a height bet
ter than 10000 feet, he wasted no time on
the way.
The trip was made without incident
and with the same completeness and pre-
paration that have characterized all Of
the colonefs spectacular air achieve
ments.
1t is different from many of his former
accomplishments in that he did not travel
alone this time, having Mrs. Lindbergh
along as co-pilot and navigator. She
kept the charts used to guide them on
their way and according to the colonel,
was of considerable assistance in making
the trip success.
While the trip proved that Mrs. Lind
bergh is not figurehead aviator, it also
proved that she never will be the flyer
that her husband is Lindy's control of
his emotions is as we'll known as his shock
of touseled blond hair. Mrs. Lindbergh
on the other hand, gave way to perfect
ly fine womanly trait when the excite
ment was all over and the plane was safe
in its hangar She had good cry.
Lindbergh's achievement is a fitting
answer to his critics, including us, who
claimed that he should not risk his neck
in any more flights. 1t is proof that we
don't know anything about it, and as far
as we are concerned he can go ahead, fly
ing high, wide and handsome and set
ting up new marks for other flyers to
shoot at.

many times. under-sells our Califor-
MIA butter with this cheaper and
poorer grade of butter.
/ am glad to say that during the
past few years, great deal of this
butter has come under the control
/ OF one of the large organized CO.
! operative marketing organizations
of our state with necessary supervis-
+ ion in the manufacturing, through
their production manager in improV-
/ ing the quality and also distributing
/ tins butter ON the market as needed
or diverting it east, if justified.
The work Of the California Dairy
Council in their educational cam.
/ paign throughout the state for the
past 10 years has positively not been
responsible in any way for an over
production, but has increased the
consumption of all dairy products,
which has helped to avoid still
greater oVerproduction.
Mr.. Horne's advice to valley dai-
rymcn to raise more live stock and
keep only their best producers, is
good. for we believe that many
valley dairvmen in the past have
overlooked part Of their profits by
hot properly culling their dairy
COWS, and by selling their heifer
calves. We have very attractive
market in Los Angeles for any sur
plus Of good dairy cows we might
have. as there was approximately
21,G00 head shipped in to that coun-
~ for tie year 1929, and less than
5000 were purchased within the
state Of California.
The dairy business in Imperial
valley has always been considered
the sureSt business for valley farm
ers TO follow. Valley banks have
always considered dairy loans best
loans to be had in our county. Only
recently. | WAS told bv one of valley
bankers that his bank had not had
bad dairy loan IN u years.
We are sorry to say that The
dairy business has not been increas-
ing for the past few years which We
believe is due to large extent to
the competition with the vegetable
growers. making il necessary for
the dairyman to move from one
place TO another every two or three
years, and we doubt if the business
will increase a great deal. or We
will have the permanent dairymen
desired until more of them can be
persuaded te buy the land and
make permanent homes in our great
alley. A great deal of money has
been spent by the county board of
trade, chambers OF commerce, and
many other organizations FOR many
years nast, in trying to boost and
increase the dairy industry of In
perial county as it is generally real
lied that there are not many places.
if any, in the United States where
feed for the dairy cows can be pro
duced as economically, and the mar
ket is as coed as Imperial Valley

the benefit of the circulation of ap-
proximately $4,000 per day paid

Irrigation Heads
To Hold Meeting

The Irrigation Districts assoeia-
tiCn of California will hold con
vcntion at the L. S. Grant hotel,
in San Diego, on April Il, is, and
10
The association is composed of all
The irrigation districts in the state
having a total area of about 4,00o,-
900 acres. 1t is expected that more
than 200 directors ana OFFICERS OF
irrigation districts, together wit h
many state Officers, will be present.
Among the many subjects that
will be discussed at the meeting
will be those of Federal aid to ir-
rigation districts; the conflict of
lien between county and municipal
tayes and irrigation district assess
ments; collection of irrigation dis
tlict assessments on operative rail-
lad property; the control of nox-
iCus weeds and RODENTS. Another
subject of importance which will
probably come under discussion is
the high cost of electric power used
BY irrigation districts, the districts
OF the state now paying to the
?ower companies more than $l,00O,-
500 per year for electric power. An
ether question that will probably
come under fire is that of the pro
posal to tax publicly owned public
abilities.

MANAGER OF MILK PRODUCERS
COMMENTS ON DAIRY INDUSTRY

The Press has received the follow
ing letter from +. w. Lott. manager
of the Imperial Valley Milk Produc-
ers' Association, relative TO dairy
conditions in the valley. Lofts let
ter was prompted by an address Civ
en- before the chamber of commerce
last week, by O. G. Horne, vice
president of the Security Ma
tional Bank, in which he asserted
that dairying here is in an unhealth-
full condition.
Editor of Imperial Valley Press,
FL Centre, Calf,
Dear Sir:
Since reading in your paper OF
April II, the address of Mr.. O. G.
Horne to the El Centre Chamber of
Commerce at their luncheon on
Monday of this week, I feel some
what obligated, due to my interest
in the welfare of the dairy indus
try in the state of California. and
rs president Of the California Dairs
Council, to give cur valley readers
of your paper my views along the
lines mentioned by Mr.. Horne.
Mr. Horne mentioned that the
dairy business as whole. is in an
unhealthy condition. because OF ov-
reproduction, and advised Imperial
Valley farmers to give more atten-
ton to the raising Of live stock to
sell, than to dairy products. He also
stated the Dairy Council has been
working on over-production which
has resulted in part, from the pub
lieity on the importance TO the in
dividual of dairy products which
has caused more farmers to 90 into
dairying until the supply exceeds the
demand. 1t is indeed very true that
for the year of 1929 there was an
production OF dairy products
in the United States; at the same
time LET US rememb ber that the state
of California consumed 3l,00o,000
pounds more butter than was man
ufactnred in the state In fact. the
entire ] western states consumed
more butter than they manufactur-
ed, so the surplus in the West, and
particularly California was due en-
tirely TO two reasons. namely: an
over-prduction in the East due most
ly to the tremendous decrease in
consumption, which was due to
weaker buying power: the other
reason is the tremendous increase
all over the United States in the
consumption of substitutes.
Frankly, l do not believe there
is any reason why any county III
the state of California that can pro
duce more dairy products at 4 profit
to the producer, should hesitate in
doing so, as there is no reason why
California producers should let up
in their production to make more
room for more butter 10 be produc-
ed in other states a..d sold in our
state, taking approximately s. cents
of the consumers dollar out Of the
state. We must also bear in mind
that California has always been. and
probably always viii he the market
for the surplus Of all states west
of the Rock Mountains, and natural
ly the less butter manufactured in
our state, the more win be shipped
in from the other states, and il is
usually poorer grade of butter.
One thing very necessar,- in con
trolling the effects Of tie butter
from the other states ou our Cali
fornia market, would be to eli1i-
nate as much as possibl. the ioL
Der or broker who buys this out
of-the-state butter and in turn.
