BARBARA WORTH
HOTEL ASSET TO
ENTIRE VALLEY

Not only is the Barbara Worth
hotel a decided asset to Ell Centre
since it is a hotel which would be
a credit to a community far larger
and thus is a headquarters for the
tourist traffic, but through its
large pay roll and its purchases
made locally, it contributes much
to the financial development of
the community.
The hotels payroll runs to $4,000
monthly, all of which is spent in
Imperial Valley. In addition, the
hotel itself spends $4,000 monthly
in the city in purchasing supplies
and in utilities.
Recently the hotel has installed
the most modern of laundries, with
the very latest of equipment so
that all of its laundry work may
be done in the building itself. All
appliances are gas and have been
installed with the cooperation of
the Natural Gas Corporation of
California. This laundry means the
additional employment of 10 work.
ers, thus providing employment for
residents of the city and meaning
an extra sum on the payroll, which
in turn will benefit the merchants
of the city.
The laundry is not the only addi-
ton to the hotel, for plans are be-
ing completed for an entirely new
cooling system which will supply
refrigerated air to all the rooms in
the old building, making the hotel
a delightful oasis in the warm
weather of the summer months.
New Management
This fall the hotel changed hands
and the new management is striv-
ing in every way possible to en-
courage Ell Centrans to make the
hotel their headquarters for all
events. 1t has been taken over by
the Hilton hotels of Texas, and
Major w. r. Irwin, vice-president
of the Hilton hotels and president
of the Barbara Worth corporation,
is in active charge of the hotel,
making his home in the valley.

STANDARDIZATION
OF SEEDS BEING
GIVEN ATTENTION

A new development in the seeC
industry is the standardizing of veg.
etable varieties, recently begun by
the United States department Of
agriulture upon request of numer-
Gus seed concerns. This work is
under the direction of DR.. B. r
Boswell. Assisting the government
in this work are many experiment
station in various parts of the coun-
stations in various parts of the coun-
experiment station at Davis has
four men working on the project
under the direction of DR.. H. A.
Jones.
The need for some standard is
felt keenly by the person who pur-
chases a seed supply of a variety,
but finds that he has failed to get
a sufficient amount. He purchases
the remainder from another dealer
handling a different line, but the
same variety. The differences in
the two lots will be noted upon
maturity. One lot may possess a
broader leaf or root and perhaps a
different color, and may mature
early, while the other lot may have
opposite characteristics but still not
enough difference to make it an
other variety.
This is quite often the case, and
not infreouently it is a source of
misunderstanding between a seed
company and a customer. The pur-
pose of the whole project may be
stated in brief as the selecting of
true type for each variety of a
vegetable. Colored charts illustrat-
ing all-important data relative tolthe
different varities are sent to differ
ent stations. A sample of each vari-
ETY. was retained at the government
station at Arlington, which acts as
a check against the environmental
conditions Of the other stations.
At the present time the experiment.
stations working on the project are
those of California, Minnesota,
Iowa State College, Cornell Uni
versity. Texas State College. Louis
lana State College and Virginia
University.
AS yet only the more important
varieties of vegetables have been
worked on. At the present time
data are being secured at the Davis
station in California on carrots,
beets, onions, cabbage, tomatoes and
spinach. In collecting the data for
the Washington report the entire
plant is considered as to its height
spread, leaf habit, ETC.; the root is
considered as to weight, diameter.
shape and color below and above
the ground; the leaves, as to weight,
color, diameter, number, etc. The
flesh is considered mainly as to its
apparent structure, texture. fiber,
flavor and aroma. Photographs
are taken of the individual plants
and are also sent to Washington,
where the true type is selected by
a committee of seed representa-
tives, the photograph TIM being
made into a colored chart.
