ESTABLISHMENT OF GRAPEFRUIT
CANNERY DISCUSSED AT LUNCH

Experiments in regard to a pro-
ject for canning Imperial Valley
grapefruit were described yesterday
at the Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce luncheon by DR.. E. o. Til
burne, who has been interested in
this matter for some time and has
h d considerable correspondence
with the FL Centre chamber and
Norman Lombard, manager of the
Desert Citrus Exchange. DR.. Til
burne stated that there is no grape
fruit cannery in California although
Florida's output has jumped from
100000 cases of number two cans
of grapefruit last year to a total of
100000 which will be produced
during the present year. The speak
er stated that, because of the grape
fruit acreage in Imperial Valley, he
believes this is the logical place
for grapefruit cannery.
DR.. Tilburne pointed out that
grapefruit culls, if put on the mar
ket would lower the price for bet
ter grade fruit but that, with a can
merry, culls could be converted into
grapefruit juice, marmelade, canned
whole fruit. juice specially pre-
pared for hospital use, specialized
tonic for certain diseases and a de-
licious confection made of the peel
ing. 1t is believed that there will
be a ready market for all these
Imperial Valley press., 1931-05-28

products and according to statis-
tics gathered, converting grapefruit
culls into canned products should
bring enough profit to pay the
growers rs cents to one dollar per
box, according to the speaker
Experiments are being made with
Imperial Valley grapefruit by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture in Los Angeles and DR.. Til
burne states that DR.. Chase, of
that department informs him that
Imperial Valley grapefruit may
be canned fully as well, if not bet
ter, than that of other sections"
According to the speaker they will
continue experimenting until they
are sure of methods and markets,
at which time further plans will be
presented to the grapefruit grow
ers of Imperial Valley. A number
of grapefruit growers and directors
of the Grapefruit Growers associa-
tion were present at todays lunch
con.
Loren Howe, secretary of the
Hawthorne Chamber of Commerce,
told of plans to make the Imperial
Highway the shortest, most direct
and least graded road from the
coast to Imperial Valley, referring
to the proposed highway as "the
most important road to be built in
Southern California" Howe was

CIRCULAR ON
CUCUMBERS is
NOW AVAILABLE

A mimeographed circular on the
production of cucumbers in south
ern California was recently pre-
pared and is now available from
the Imperial county farm advisor S
office, court house, Ell Centre. This
circular, which discusses the pro-
duction Of cucumbers principally as
a crop for use by the pickle man.
ufacturer, represents the best in
formation available from successful
cucumber growers as compiled by
Assistant Farm Advisor f. H. Ernst
of Los Angeles county, during the
past seven years. Field methods
which are discussed are applicable
to the production of an out of sea-
son crop as well. The cucumber is
a fairly important vegetable crop
and is Of interest since it is a short
season cash crop from which grow
ers may expect reasonably good re-
turns provided conditions are suit
able. Perhaps the soil is one of the
most important factors which de-
termine the final returns from the
cucumber. The soil must be fertile
and of loan type if yields of
eight to IL tons per acre are to be
expected. Sandy soil should be
avoided The application of fertil-
izers, particularly nitrogenous fer
tilizers, has given excellent returns.
Cucumbers are planted early in
May Pest control becomes import
from thn bno;,N,Nt,Nn,
irrigation water likewise has to be
applied frequently. Cultivati o n
thinning, and the training of the
vines are other items discussed
The harvesting of the cucumber
crop begins early in July. Picking
is one of the important operations
and must be frequent to obtain
maximum production from tn
vines. The picked cucumbers are
placed in sacks and hauled from
the field to the sailing station where
they are graded, weighed, and then
made into pickles. OF the plant
diseases which sometimes are seri-
Gus, the most important are the
mildew, mosaic, and the bacterial
wilt. OF the insect pests. the Gu
cumber beetle is the most import
ant. Thrips, aphids. and nematode
also cause some damage. The pro-
duction of this crop for the pickle
manufacturers or for the market
necessitates good farming practice
Proper soil selection and careful
pest and disease control are neces-

The use of more fertilizers is rec
commended for this crop. Crops of

followed by Leroy Aul, supervisor
from San Diego county, who stated
that he believed the communities
in San Diego and Imperial counties
had become closer during the past
two years than ever before and
pledged his assistance at all times
in matters which would promote
the growth of Imperial county. Aul
stated, however. that the San Diego
supervisors desire to keep taxes as
low as possible in that county and
that, with the Kane Springs-Juli
road being built, money might not
be available for some time for ad-
ditional highways.
Immediately after the luncheon
Aul, Howe, John r. Rice, city coun-
Gilman from FL Centro, H. L. Bush
and Robert Hays departed to make
q survey Of the proposed route of
the Imperial Highway.

Seeks Insurance
On Burned CrOp

Reverberations of another supe-
rior court trial, for alleged arson,
reached into the county clerks of
flee yesterday afternoon when j. w.
Corn filed civil suit against the
Mercantile Insurance company of
America.
Corn asked judgment for $e98.95
he declared is due him from insur-
ance on a 240-acre field of barley
north of Calipatria, which burned
last year. Corn filed suit as as
signee of George H. Gullett, to
whom the insurance policy was
made out.
R. M. Chapman, agent for the
company, is named as co-defendant.
The suit charges that after the for
mer trial in superior court, Chap
man had the insurance policy re-
leased to him, and refused to turn
it over to Corn.
The arson trial several months
ago resulted from efforts of the
insurance company to prove that
the barley had been fired by its
owner so that he might collect in
surance. He was found not guilty.

10 to IL tons and even more have
been secured, but it usually takes
a good farmer to do this. However,
under the proper conditions the re-
turns from this crop will equal
those of most other vegetable crops.
Since this crop is grown under con-

reasonably sure to get his money,

CENTER MODEL
IS DUE TODAY

A $4,000 cardboard model of
the Municipal Center is sched-
uled to arrive at the office of
Municipal Architect A. L. Harris
today from New York City.
The model was promised on
two previous occasions-Decem.
ber Is and January but failed
to arrive. The model was ordered
to be taken before the Congress
Committee as a means of convin-
cling conferees that the District
should have substantial increases
in appropriations.
The District, by the long de.
lay, is enabled to obtain the
model at reduction of $25 per
day from the date promised. So
today the model has been re-
duced by non-delivery from Janu-
ary to the price Of $5,375.
