buyers who have been offering $40
with no one selling.
A New Mexico catleman who has
! been feeding thousands of head in
Imperial Valley since last fall. re-
turned from Los Angeles Monday
and stated he had canvassed the
j feed situation on the coast and was
told by several cattlemen that thou
sands of cattle would be shipped in
here for summer pasturing. He re-
ported a burned up condition on all
ranges and feed scarce. Supervisor
L. H. Aul of San Diego county re-
ported wednesday there was no
feed left in San Diego county. Ad-
vices from Modesto and Turlock re-
ported a water shortage is looked
for and feed will be scarce.
A coast cattleman stated Imperial
valley would reap a harvest from
her alfalfa this year if the growers
wouldn't throw their hay on the
market at a give away price.
No attempt is being made 10 ad-
wise the farmers to hold their hay
for a high price. Advice to hold for
S12 to S14 is not being given, but
true condition of actual conditions
IS being reported and every man
must decide for himself what is best
% do The market may go to SIS
cr SO or it may slide back to S8
ar 81. Last year it was thought
SIS a ton would be the right price
to hold for and several have their
hay yet.
Another thing should be consid-
cred. Our own snow pack is defi-
cient this year, and il is possible
that we may be pro-rating water in
late August and September if the
usual arizona rains 90 not put in
heir appearance. All these things
should be considered.
But from the standpoint of the
man who is trying TO learn what the
prospects are for better prices for
our hay it looks like Sl2 to Sl4 will
be the going price within the next
10 days. A man can't be put in jail
fer asking that and he has the pri-
vilege OF coming down at any time.
But if SO is all that Is asked, that
is about half a dollar more than
will be finally offered.
It looks like a good time to put
on a poker face and say, Il want
SD for my hay" instead Of saying,
What will you give me?"

BANDITS DECIDE
FORMER SHERIFF
BIT TOO ROUGH

Imperial Valleys enterpris n 6
young holdup men made terrible
mistake last night, but speedy
automobile got. them out of the
jam with nothing but a set of knees
that would probably play tango If
equipped with castanets.
In short, the two youths tried to
hold up c. L. Gillett, former sher-
iff.
Holding up a former sheriff, un-
der some circumstances, might be
possible. But those who know are
emphatic in statements that hold
ing up Charley Gillett. under any
circumstances, is practically impos-
sible.
The two youths, driving a road
ster, overhauled Gillett near Holt
Vile. They passed him, cut in in an
effort to force him off the highway,
and while one held flashlight on
him the other demanded that the
former sheriff stick 'em up"
Instead Gillett poked his revolver
out of the car in the general di-
rection of the youths, waved 1t in
the air, and grinned TO see the
would be robbers shift into high in
a sudden burst of speed.
A report on file in the sheriff's
office today said they decided not
to hold him up and drove on so
fast that he could not catch them. "

Experiment On
Lettuce Seed

Interesting experiments in the
production Of blight and mildew re-
sistant lettuce seed have been con-
duced this year on 25 acres near
Brawley by the iller-Cummings
company in conjunction with DR..
Ivan Jaeger Of Chula Vista and In
perial Valley.
Some of the seed harvested has
been found to be resistant to both
blight and mildeW, and B. A. Bar-
rlgan, agricultural commissioner,
estimates that in about two years,
Imperial Valley will be able to pro-
duce seed resistant to these diseases.
Selection is an important factor
in the production of seed for COM
mercial purposes and must be prac-
tised by those going into the busi-
ness. A number of local firms, as
Miller Cummings, S. A. Gerard,
American Fruit Growers, Inc, and
Sears Bros. already grow their own
lettuce seed.

SAYS FARMERS
WELL INFORMED
ABOUT MARKETS

Farmers now are better informed
on probable price trends than are
businessmen; they are enabled to
plant with assurance of the proba-
BILE outcome. This is a result, says
Prof. B. H. Crocheron, director Of
agricultural extension in the UniVer-
sity Of California, of the work OF
the colleges OF agriculture and the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
The forecasts Of price trends are
more accurately made for farm
crops than for any other commodi-
ties" says Professor Crocheron.
These forecasts are more widely
disseminated among the people to
be benefited than are any other
forecasts.
ut is regrettable that, just as this
work reaches its full stride, the
ice-trends are more Encouraging
than at any other time in recent
years. It would be much pleasanter
if the forecasts indicated an upward
trend of prices. But, that's not tne
fault of the system. The forecast
ers do not make the facts; they only
collate and analyze them. In fu-
ture years this business Of agricul-
tural forecastiug will become even
more important than it IS at pres
ent. Farmers will come 10 place
more dependence upon this outlook. "
Many Meetings Held
This year, after the outlook was
published, farm advisors explained
it to farmers at ATT meetings held
in the state, attended by 26,i16 per-
sons. These farm advisors tell Of
some of the reactions on the part
of the farmers to the outlook. There
meeting "felt that the university
were brick5ats and bouquets. One
was in league with others to keep
prices down''-though why anyone
should want prices TO stay down is
not explained. Another farm advi-
sor found interest very weak" but
philosophically remarks, Il suppose,
/ however, it is Just a question of con-
/ tinually drumming away at 1t. All
educational work seems TO be very
slow. particularly among adults" +"
| Another man said one center meet
ing criticized him for resenting the
material because nothing could be
done about the situation, SO why
mention it,"

furnished by the press of Imperial

The tables playing the hand at no trump North and South made game. Top score went to the players who found the squeeze. MoRTH S-5.2

 "The chief of the village asked the serpent why the village was being destroyed. The snake told him it was because there was a bad man in the village. and added. I will save you if you sacrifice your son to me-

 The serpents are make-beiieve. but they seem alive. Their heads rise to the ceiling. and their bodies sway back and forth. Sometimes their heads move in n manner which suggests that they are trying to bite each other,
 Toward tue end Of the act. the sefpents lower their heads so that they hover over tiny field of corn. Then they sink back into the jars.
 You may wonder how all this Is done, It is. of course. trick. Each serpent has cord fastened to his head, and this cord passes to beam near the ceiling, around the beam and back to the hand of one of the masked men.
