LETTUCE WILL BE GROWN ON
BACA FLOAT NEAR NOGALES

One OF tQe mOSC Important
steps in the history of this coun
ty toward the development of
the territory adjoining Nogales
as q great agricultural district
was taken Wednesday when
wealthy Californians - expert
lettuce growers-signed a con
tract with Frank M. Daugherty
and T. T. Pendleton, owners of
the Baca Float, whereby they
leased fora period of three years
400 acres near Calabasas for the
growing of lettuce.
The land lies along the river
about 10 miles north of Nogales
and is located between Calaba
sas and the station of Silva,
which is situated on the old Har.
vey Walker ranch. 1t is to be
devoted entirely to the growing
of lettuce during the three year
period and if a successful crop
is obtained will undoubtedly
mean greatly increased acreage
each year.
Because of climatic conditions
here it is believed by the Califor
mans that they can market their
crop in November, during which
month lettuce is shipped from
no other district in the United
States.
Work is to start by next Tues
day clearing and leveling the
land and this work is to be kept
up day and night so that the
crop can be planted between the
first and fifteenth of August.
Pumps are to be installed, build
ings erected, and the acreage
otherwise placed in shape in an
up to date manner.
Four California families will
colonize the land Immediately
and other than those folks, local
labor will be employed. During
the thinning and packing season
employment will be given to be.
tween rs and 100 local people.
All the land leased is on the
east side of the Southern Pacific
railroad and there will be two
shipping points, Calabasas and
Silva. The new power line now
being built, connecting Tucson
and Nogales, will run through
the property and installation of
this power line, which will en-
able the leasors to pump Wate::
BY electricity, had much to do
toward the Californians deciding
to lease the property.
1t is figured that two crops q
year, maturing in April and No.
vember, will be possible and that
from the 400 acres there will be
400 carloads of lettuce each of
the two months. There is an
average of 800 crates of lettuce
to car. Figured at an average
of 81 q crate it means that twice
q year there will be shipped
from the 400 acres a crop worth
approximately $500,OOO.
Negotiations for the lease of
the land we're largely handled
by Captain Earl Patterson of
Phoenix who has been here the
past month. 1T is q step to
ward developing all these rich
little valleys in the Nogales dis
trict, on both sides of interna.
tional line." said Captain Patter.
son to a representative of the
Nogales International.
Captain Patterson is the man
who built the Sacaton and Flor
ence diversion dams for the Un
tied States government and be
was a consulting engineer on the
Coolidge Dam. He was also one
of the engineers on the Elephant
Butte Dam in New Mexico, and
has been in the government
service all his life.
A contract to clear the land
has been awarded to Mr.. Calde
we'll of Phoenix, who built the
S. P. railroad from Buckeye to
Wellton, known as the new S.
?. cut of. International.

MAKING CRIMINALS

Although practically every move he has made IT the past years towards the enforcement of prohibit tion has been lepudated and resented by the people ad finally turned down emphatcally the polls, Uncle Sam still persists in making criminals out of otherwise honest people Ever since the chaice passed at the Lords Supper, the cheerng melowing spirit of the vine has been mans privileges the soothing influence of wine has been mans surcease from the cares and tribuations of the world
 But no those hoier than thou fanatics would mould all in the fashion of their form and would deny inalienable freedom of thought and action. They would take the cup from us though it had been a of great comfort and cheer and free from harm They would throw into rotten jals polced by bribed officers In seeking conviction vile truths exposed of corruption reaching to highest most sacred ourts,-and all in the name of prohibition.
 In grand roundup during which government agents stool pigeons and undercover skunks worked like rats in teeming granary, they have just pinch ed' 73 victims of Uncle Sas snoopings and sneakngs at Gra'ys Harbor, down in Washington Looks like they afraid their powers will be stripped from them and they get in much of their dirty work ss possible before the big blowoff comes
 But the handwriting is on the wall It will not be long before America will have shaken off this mias mic threat of misguided nsanthropy and returned to conception of what liberty ready means

M Another 2-to-1 shot goes

and those who back their opinions
with cold cash are hoping that
Fldel La Barba has better luck

La Barba, the former world fyweight
champion, meets Bud Taylor, body

Haute, Ind. in the main go.
In recent weeks, Kid Chocolate. Al
Singer and Jimmy McLarnin, heavy

Garden. La Barba was the cause of
one Of these upSets, for he whipped
Chocolate when the Cuban Negro was
q 3-to-1 choice. Largely because of
his showing in that bout, La Barba
has been established q we'll defined
choice tonight against Taylor, but the
Middle WeSterner Is nobody's Set-up.
The winner has been promised q

~ ROBABLY no bowler ever looked
- forward to a match with keener
anticipation than young Eddie
Espey, who tomorrow night at
1880 o'clock will get his long hoped-for
chance to beat the even more youthful
Willis Sensenbach, 16-year-old junior
champion of North Carolina.
Eddie has more desire to beat SEN
senbach than of winning the title of
United States junior duckpin champion.
Yet Espey probably wouldn't recog-
nize Willis If they ran smack against
each other!
Perhaps the green-eyed monster may
have something to do with this feeling.
Anyway, Eddie, the Arcadia flash,
wants to beat Sensenbach for a reason
other than personal. According to Ed
die, the two new champions to be
crowned tomorrow night will be local
boy and q local junior. He wants even
a local rival to beat out Sensenbach If
he can't do 1t.
But he would much rather do it him
self.
VNASHINGTON'S youngsters, at that,
w have a good chance of bringing
home the bacon tomorrow at Sill
