MADE IN FISH
PLANTING O

On October % we told about a
distribution Of fish fry sent here
by the State Fish and Game De-
partment, and that ia cans had
been intended for lakes northeast
of Plentywood and the same
amount for Brush Lake planting
but that all of these cans were de-
livered at Reserve and taken by
Carl Hole and planted in Brush
Lake.
Game Warden Krost was absent at
the time and we did not get the par
ticulars correct. 1t appears that Park
lake for which part of this ~consign-
ment was primarily intended has
reached such a low level that there is
considerable danger that the fish in
that lake will die. Upon %ascertaining
these facts Deputy krost notified the
State Commission to deliver all OF
these fingerlings to be planted in
Brush Lake.
We are pleased to make this correc-
ton SO there will be no misunderstood.

Legion TO SPONSOR
A PLAY and Dance
Thanksgiving eve the American
Legion in Plentywood will stage
a home talent play and dance at
the Farmer-LabOr Temple.

a home talent play and dance at
the Farmer-LabOr Temple.
If you want to enjoy a good local
talent play be sure to be at the Far
mer-Labor Temple before 7:45 that
evening. "Your Uncle Dudley" is the
title Of the play and this is sufficient
introduction, knowing that American
Legion is staging it.
The price is going to be so small
that anyone can afford to attend.
Dance to Follow
Following the play, there will be a
dance, and the music is to be furnish
ed by the "Aces of Rhythm" This as
sures everyone the finest music
available in the state.
Although nothing has been said
about what is to be done with the pro-
ceeds from this play and dance, we
understand the American Legion will
use such funds to help the needy peo-
pie throughout this vicinity. The price
according to posters which are on the
streets is less than the ordinary ad-
mission to a dance.
This is going to be an evening of
fun and frolic for all who can possibly
attend either or both of these enter
tainments.

Fitzgerald, who showed up we'll in
the latter part of the season., has
moved to- another school. Several re-
serves on last years squad may de-
velop into material but with the heavy
end of the schedule appearing the
first few weeks of the a it looks
as though the Bluejays are in for
some rough handling.
Doe and Tooke, both forwards, and
Homme and Ordahl, guards form the
nucleus of the present squad. The
center berth will be hard to fill as no
experienced player is on hand to step
into the vacancy left by the gradua-
tion of Reed, last years captain. Sell

suffering from injuries and may not
be available for several weeks. Mel

fairly well. Other players expected to
make good showing are Prescott and

The cold weather of the last few

HEATERS USED
IN DEVELOPMENT
OF CANTAL0UPES

Cantaloupe growers of the val
ley are interested in the expert
ments in growing being conducted
this year by the S. A. Gerard Co.
of Brawley and which have result
ed in their shipping melons earlier
than at any other time in the his
tory Of the valley.
These experiments were conduct
ed with the cooperation of F.. A.
Baughman. government frost ex-
pert for the county, and were con-
cerned with forcing cantaloupes so
that they would be ready for mar
ket at an early date.
Not only were the vines brushed
and covered, but the heaters. SINH
lar in principle TO those used in
citrus orchards, we're installed and
used on nights when temperatures
reached the freezing point.
AS result, melons were shipped
out as early as April 7, and by next
week the company expects to ship
from 1880 crates daily.
The earliest car lot shipments of
melons on record in the agricul-
tural commissioners office took
place last year, when the first car
went out April 25. 1t looks now
as If that record is to be beaten
If the production on the Gerard
acreage keeps up. Previous to last
year. the earliest recorded date for
Car lot shipments was May 2.

STAGE
FLIGHT ACROSS
VALLEY TODAY

Pelicans, more than 200 of them,
winged their way out of the south
east this morning, passed in waver-
ing lines above El Centro, and con-
tinued their migratory flight into
the northwest, perhaps to settle for
a while on the waters of Sa1ton Sea.
Led by one group which looked
to contain more than 100 of the
queer billed fowls, the pclicans
came in three flapping regiments,
shifting and changing in their sky
formations until they looked like
wavering strings in the blue sky.
Now and then the birds would
gather in an altitude huddle, al
most clashing wings in their prox-
unity to one another, only to sail
again into wavering lines across
sky.
Flying low. the pelicans seemed
uncertain of their destination. A
zig-zag course across the valley
seemed to indicate they were look
ing for some land mark. Coming
up from the Gulf of California, per-
haps the birds plan summer stay
on Salton Sea, or they may be
seeking more northerly climes.

SKIM MILK To
Be DISCUSSED
AT MEETINGS

Meetings for the purpose of dis
cussing the use of skim milk as a
feed for poultry and pigs have been
arranged in accordance with the
program herewith submitted. by
George l.. Winwright, assistant farm
advisor.
Winwright points out the present
market for skim milk is very low
and yet as feed, six pounds of milk
are equal to one pound of grain,
which makes the value to the aver
age string of COWS run we'll above
$2 per day when used as feed In
addition to this there is a benefit
cial effect in feeding milk which
cannot be measured by chemical
analysis.
There Is considerable interest at
this time in diversifying SO the farm
income will be from several sources.
This is especially feasible on dairy
ranches where the skim milk can
be used for poultry, hogs and calves
and meetings will be held at various
points in the county as follows:
