End Shipments
OF Fruit Soon

Shipment Of grapefruit by mem
bers Of the Desert Citrus exchange
is expected to be completed by June
l, according to Bruce Moore, eX-
change manager.
Since the season opened in Oc-
tober, exchange members shipped
425 carloads of the fruit and Moore
advanced the opinion that later
shipments will bring satisfactory
returns.
It is estimated that wind during
the last two weeks caused a loss
of 10000 boxes of grapefruit.
During the last month approXi-
mately six carloads OF Imperial
Valley Valencia oranges were ship
ped through the Desert Citrus eX-
change. Most of the fruit went to
eastern markets but considerable
quantity was sold to exporters for
destinations in the orient. Prices,
said Moore, have been satisfactory
and comments from purchasers in
dicate a good reception Of the VAL

BRAWLEY COURT
EXCEEDED POWER

Charging that the Brawley JUS
tice court has exercised and is eX-
ercising judicial functions in excess
of its jurisdiction. R Samaha today
filed a petition for a writ Of review
by the superior court of a recent
action in the north end township
court.
The case Of which a review is
asked involves a suit brought by
Lee Bard against 2. Koboshigawa
and K. KohatSu, and in which two
automobiles were sold To satisfy a
juoment obtained by Bard Sam
aha claimed ownership Of the auto
mobiles.
Before their sale a hearing was
held in the Brawley court to de-
termine The ownership of the cars.
in spite Of an objection by Samaha
that determination of this oueS-
ton was outside the jurisdiction OF
the court It was determined that
the automobiles were the property
of the defendants. and they were
sold.
It is on this contention that the
justice court was without juisdlc- f.

automobiles that Samaha asks .

ROTARY SPEAKER
URGES HELP FOR
DAIRY CAMPAIGN

Need for using up the surplus
of dairy products was explained
to members of the Ell Centre Ro-
tary club at yesterdays meeting
by George L. Winwright. assistant
farm advisor.
Quoting statistics provided by
the California dairy council and
other authorities, Winwrigh h :
asserted that if every person would
increase the use of milk only an
ounce a day, it would take up the
surplus which now exists and
which threatens to demoralize the
dairyman.
He outlined the possibilities for
aiding this campaign here in In
perial Valley and urged a greater
use of milk, cream and butter by
all valley residents as being the
best method of assisting in taking
up the surplus.
Use Of skinned milk as hog feed
was advocated by the speaker who
presented figures to show the heavy
demand for hogs in the Los Ange-
les market, and the almost insig-
nificant number of hogs raised in
this state. Imperial Valleys prox-
unity to Los Angeles was stressed
as a decided factor in this COM
munityS favor.
He cautioned that there is no
big money in hog raising Just a.
this time, but those who are feed
ing by-products to hogs are at least
paying expenses and it is conf
IDENTITY believed that the future
holds out a promise of betterment
The speakers remarks were en-
dorsed by several members of the
club who pointed out methods by
which Imperial Valley may in
crease the use of dairy products
and encourage the rancher to raise
hogs.
Announcement was made of an
meeting with the Holt
vile club which will be held at the
Barbara Worth Country club next
Friday, for Rotarians and their
wives.
Earl Vencil acted as chairman
Of the day with President Ray
Edgar presiding.

performance on the upside for
nearly three months, scared l to S

Later in the day, the United
States Steel corporation announced
a second reduction in salaries and
wages of its workers, this one Is
per cent, to be effective or May 16.
A reduction of 10 per cent was

Gains throughout the list were
retained in the majority although

true condition.
Loses Memory
When Doumer recovered con-
sciousness temporarily after the
shooting he had lost memory of
what happened. He was told he
had been hurt in an automobile ac-
cident.
A book found in the asSaSSin's
pocket was inscribed This book be-
longs to the president of the Rus
sian Fascists, assassin of the pres
ident of the republic" Police, how
ever. believed it was the deed of
an insane man rather than po-
litical act.
Madame Doumer reached the hos
pital late this afternoon.
The only previous assassination
of French president was that OF
Sadi Carnot in June, 1894.
If Doumer dies, it will be neces-
sary as soon as possible to call a
national assembly at Versailles,
composed of the chamber and SEN
ate, to elect a new president, since
France has no president. The
most likely candidates are Theodore
Steeg. favorite of the left cartels;
Albert LeBrun, president of the
senate, and Fernand BuiSSon, preSl-
dent of the chamber, Socialist.
DR.. Paul, one of the attending
physicians, told the United Press:
with reservations, I predict
President Doumer will live. His
condition is not hopeless"
The ministry of the interior, IN
communique at $40 p. m, re-
ported his condition good. The
ministry blamed the attempt on
"a Russian anarchist"
The papal nuncio visited the hos
pital for hail an hour.
The shooting caused a tremen-
dous sensation in Paris. The GUS
J tomary rumors of the president
death were spread, but were quick
/ ~ refuted at the hospital.
The TRANSMISSION gave the patient
enough strength so doctors coulc
remove one of the bullets and probe
for one in the chest. They we're un,
able, however, to touch the wounc
behind the ear, which was consid
cred the worst.
Doumer had lost a great guam
tity of blood before the trans
fusion.
The crowd outside the Elysee pal
ace was silent, but a bowling thront
gathered outside the nearby police
station where the assassin wa
chained behind bars.
At $50 p. m. Professor Cause
said
The ball in the head did no
touch the brain, therefore I refus
to say the president is lost"
The blood used in the transfu
sion was donated by a young French
inferno at the hospital.

ambassador, hurried to the Elyse'

Damage by Migratory
Birds Overestimated

Damage to winter grain by migratory
wild fowl is often not so serious as
supposed, says w. L. McAtee, of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Each year in the early spring
the Bureau of Biological Survey re-
ceives many reports telling of damage
to grain fields by birds, chiefly ducks
and geese.
When the soil is moderately firm,
Mr. McAtee explains, wild fowl in most
cases merely nip the grain plants and
leave the roots in place-a process we'll
known to result in stooling and the
production of larger number of stalks
The crop, therefore, is likely to be i'm
proved rather than injured In many
localities Biological Survey representa-
tives found that the actual production
of fields fed over by wild fowl had
not been reduced
In some places where complaints of
damage by wild fowl had been made,
investigators found cattle or sheep
grazing in the fields. If feeding in
winter grain fields by these animals

The Modern School
SPELLING FOR WRITING

"Kids sure do get off easy in school

mo wonder he gets 100. In the eighth
grade and spelling such simple words
as believe, separate, their, too. Why,
when I was in the eighth grade we
spelled real hard words. I remember
one time I spelled down the whole
class, but I had to spell eclaircisse-
ment to do it. I'll never forget that
word e-c-l-a-i-r-c-i-s-s-e
"Whew! What's that word mean
Dad?" This from Junior
The question was conveniently ig-
nored. Mr.. Jones continued Don't
you have harder words than this even
when you have a spelldown?"
We've only had one spelldown this
year. 1t was fun too, but we usually

are hard words, Dad They're the SPELL

OF Interest To Farmers
BY County Agent E. c. Durdle

Evergreen. Evergreen is a pythrerium
compound which is not only an intern
al but a contact poison for all insects
1t is not at all poisonous to warm
blooded animals and hence is not at
all dangerous to use on the growing
shoots where arsenate of lead should
never be used.
While Evergreen may seem expensive
WIN one comes to purchase it, yet the
great dilution of the material makes
it not expensive considering that one
can go right ahead and cut from the
patch after it has been sprayed If
arsenate of lead was used then the en-
tire cutting would have to be discard
ed. There are probably other pythrer-
ium compounds but this is the only
one that we know of at the present
time.

can be tolerated, says Mr.. McAtee, it
would seem that farmers should not
protest against the less destructive Wilo
fowl
When the soil is very soft, however
as it is when thawing, the birds some
times do considerable damage by pull
ing out some of the grain and spelling
more by trampling. Under these con-
ditions, says Mr.. McAtee, farmers often
patrol their fields
Where birds visit the fields at night
farmers have resorted to many I'M
usual methods to drive them away
Field workers of the Biological Survey
report that some farmers have gone
so far as to use fireworks to scare
them away. A farmer in Arkansas i'm
provised a revolving searchlight which
he mounted on platform in the cen
ter Of his grain field. This method gave
satisfactory results.

Proved Formula for
CutWorm Control

The following formula is the one
which has been recommended to as
paragus growers in the past and it has
been found to be very effective in
cutworm control:
Twenty-Five pounds coarse wheat
bran; one-half pound salt; pound
white arsenic or Paris green; pint
sirup or brown sugar or molasses; wa
ter to make crumbly mash
The dry ingredients are first thor
oughly mixed and the water and sirup
added. II too much water is used the
mash will be sloppy and hard to scat
ter. The material should be just wet
enough so that 1t will fall apart read
lily after being pressed together in the
hands. A half barrel, large tub, or
a water tight box makes good recep-
tacle in which to mix a small guam
tity of bait.
The above formula will make enough
bait to cover approximately one acre.
In order to get good results the bait
should be spread as late as possible in
the evening right along the rows. If
one batting does not clean up the situ-
alton follow with successive treatments
until cut worms have been cleaned up
Be sure, however, that damage is be-
ing caused by cutworms rather than
asparagus beetle larvae before apply
ing too much of the bait.
Asparagus beetles in the adult and
grub stage may be found feeding upon
the tops of the asparagus. The insect
lays eggs upon the young shoots of
asparagus. These then hatch out into
the larvae which Immediately attack
the growing shoots.
Control for the asparagus beetle will
be either the allowing of an occasional
plant to grow to maturity and keeping
it well sprayed with arsenate of lead
or the spraying of the entire field, if
the infestation warrants this, with

these one hundred words are the ones
they misspelled the most. We've been
having few of them in our spelling
lesson each week for long time, and
today Miss Warner gave us test on
the whole list"
"a spelling lesson each week,-don't
you have ten new words every day."
mo, you see it's like this. There are
about twenty-five or thirty words in
each lesson in our spelling book. Some
of them are words we've had before,
but Miss Warner says that we have to
review them so that we get to know
them SO well that we can write them
without thinking, just like we do our
names. Every Monday we have test
on new list Of words we haven't
studied before. On Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday each one studies the
words that he missed. Last Monday /
got 100 so I got to work on my geo.
graphy products map during the spell
Ing period for three days. But on Fri
day everybody takes the test again
and that's the mark that counts. Some
times Miss Warner puts the words in
sentences and we have to write whole
paragraphs instead of just list of
Words
well, that sounds fine, but at that
rate I don't see how they ever expect
to get many words taught. There are
over 100000 words in the dictionary
and even at the rate of ten new words
a day there are thousands you don't
get"
But Dad, we don't need to know
how to spell so many words. It's more
important that we know how to spell
ordinary words we'll. That's what it says
in the front of our spelling book This
man that I told you picked out the
demons made list of all the words
he found in the papers he examined
Other men have done the same thing
land now they've made list of the
words that are used most and put them
into our spellers.'
Maybe our children are getting
better spelling instruction after ALL"
suggested Mrs. Jones, who had been
an interested listener 'I don't believe
you've had occasion to write that word
reimbursement once in thirty years
since you learned to spell it,"

When the $685. power company check arrives

it will mark epoch in the history of this valley.
It will be the first time that any part Of the ir-

it. And it is just the beginning of an income that
should increase month by month and year by year
