CHAMBER SEEKS
new OUTLET FOR
VALLEYS CROPS

The Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce has sent stories to all the
newspapers in California, Nevada,
Arizona and Utah, telling of the
abundance of green feed in Imper-
ial Valley, which has just one
quarter million acres in verdant al
falfa ready to feed the cattle and
live stock of other areas. The lack
of rain in many sections of the west
threatens to develop a drought sit
uation somewhat similar to that
which last year haraSsed the CEN
trail United States and, according to
the crop report issued by M. j.
Dowd, of the Imperial Irrigation
District, Imperial Valley has 240,-
900 acres in readiness to feed the
animals from regions which are
short of pasturage.
1.-The present season has been an
ideal one iri Imperial Valley" the
article states, I'VE have more alfal-
ia and better alfalfa pasturage
than ever before and we are pre-
pared to feed cattle. cows and sheep
from all over California and ad-
joining western states"
Those who know livestock mar
kets are certain that prices will
improve and assert that cattle
should not be satisfied until fully
fattened. Therefore the FL Centro
Chamber of Commerce is urging
that, when local pastures fail, feed
ers in the western states look toward
Imperial Valleys abundant green
fields as a means Of continuing
their feeding operations. This
move, in which the other valley
commercial organizations. the board
of trade and the Imperial county
farm bureaus are cooperating, 1t is
believed will bring great numbers
of feeder cattle to Imperial Valley,
thereby absorbing any surplus OF
green feed and doing away with a
possibility of excess hay during the
coming year. This would undoubt-
edly cause the baled hay to bring
a higher price and, in addition,
would bring revenue to the farmers
and react favorably on the COM
munity as a whole.
Together with the article on VAL
ley alfalfa the El Centro chamber
is sending the western newspapers
q story urging transient laborers
not to come to this community ex-
pecting to get work in the canta-
loupe harvest. j. G.. Rose, special
agent of the United States Employ
ment Service in El Centro. is quot
ed as saying, II would urge the
newspapers to broadcast the news
that no additional workers will be
needed in the cantaloupe fields of
Imperial Valley. We have enough
men on hand to take care of this
crop and / have contacted the ship
pers and found they already have
full crews sufficient for their pack
ing and picking. II men who are
looking for work. would write to the
United States Employment Service
at Los Angeles, they would be sent
to some other district where labor
is needed and thus save themselves
and the communities of California
much unnecessary expense. 1t is
! useless to move to new section
looking for work unless man
knows work exists there
1t is the hope OF the local cham
Der that this warning will keep the
large number Of transients coming
to Imperial Valley for the canta-
loupe seasons away for the next
few months. That organization,
with the cooperation of Rose and
the local shippers is attempting TO

Scamper.
"Oh, dear, if I could only get

II don't suppose you could climb

NO, I couldn't, I'm dizzy now"
was the answer. But what good
would it do me to climb higher?p
The high up branches are very
little" said the squirrel. They are
quite too small to hold that boy.
They would break. He wouldn't

of falling"

his pink nose was rather pale But
I suppose you can easily climb up

Yes, would" the squirrel chat

the rabbit. rs that boy still climb

He is still climbing" answered

"You wouldn't dare jump down,
would you?" asked the squirrel.
mo, It's too far! I dare not look,
but I know it is too far to the
ground" said Mr.. Longears.
And you can't climb down, as I
can, on the other side of the tree
where the boy is, I suppose?" asked
the squirrel.
NO, can neither climb down nor
climb up," answered Mr.. Longears.
'Oh, what shall do? Is that boy
still coming after me?"
He is still coming" sadly an
swered Mr.. Scamper.
"Oh, if 1 only had my airship

I could safely float down to earth
and hop away before that boy could
climb down and run after me. On.

bunny gentleman, not being in the
habit of sitting high in a tree, felt
rather dizzy and didn't want to look

"Yes, that boy is climbing up

"All the way up!' whispered Mr.

Chicago is not alone in this respect.
The one city that should be a model
for the rest to pattern after, is staging
an orgy of crime that will give Chicago
something to think about if it wishes to
retain its undesirable laurels.
Washington, the capital of the coun-
try, which is governed by Uncle Sam
himself, has had seven shootings in which
five men were killed in less than week.
Back of that is a group of mystery kill
ings which have never been solved.
Racketeering and gangsterism are not
confined to THE Loop. They appear to
be flourishing equally we'll on Pennsyl-
vania avenue and within the shadow of
the capitol dome.
To say that this condition is dis
grace, is to put it mildly. 1t is some
thing for which every American should
feel ashamed. Washington is where we
are more directly under the eyes of the
rest of the world than in any other spot
in the country.
One wonders how we can criticize
South American republics or even Russia
in view of what has been going on in
Washington.
No extra session, Mr.. Hoover says, and
apparently he means it. And in view of
Washington'S summer climate congress
will probably back him on it.
