Style Bulletin

The yellow peril is with us
again this season. The peril to
be avoided is that of that hue
being worn by women of Sallow
complexion. A bright, healthy
looking girl should look her best
in a sports frock of yellow pique
with a satin sash in black and
yellow pique. With this dress
is worn a yellow turban and
shoes Of yellow linen.

INQUIRY SHOWS
VALLEYS CROPS
ARE WELL KNOWN

Although inquiries concerning
alfalfa, lettuce and cantaloupes,
Imperial Valleys major products,
are common at the Ell Centro
Chamber Of Commerce and even
grapefruit inquiries are received in
large numbers. an inquiry about
spinach such as was received at the
local chamber this week is quite un-
usual because Of the fact that the
request was for a carload OF dried
spinach.
The letter was written from the
offices of the Battle Greek Food
company of Battle Greek, Michigan
and stated that they had had
trouble in obtaining spinach which
was free from dirt but would be
interested in securing carload Of
dried spinach if they could be as
sured it would be free from sand
and dirt.
Robert Hays. manager Of the El
Centro chamber replied that many
hundreds of carloads Of spinach
will be shipped from this valley
during the present season and that
the amount required would be very
easily obtained Hays also deScrib-
ed the method Of shipping fresh
spinach, in refrigerator cars with
top icing, so that it reaches east
ern points in prime condition.
This inquiry is merely an exam
pie Of the nationwide publicity
which Imperial Valley products are
getting. While a few years ago this
community was known merely as
an irrigation project, today even
minor products have become well
known and green winter fields
which furnish fresh fruits and veg
etables for the nations Christmas
tables have gained Americas Win
ter Garden" much fame. The fact
that this section Of the state has
depicted satisfactory business con-
ditions for the past 20 months has
also made an impression on the
country as a whole and has done
perhaps as much as any other one
thing TO make the name Imperial
Valley" stand out at the present
time, according TO Hays, who states
that the chamber constantly re-
ceives letters referring TO the
white spot"
