The time has arrived when the YER

dict must be as noble, generous, memorable and
eternal as his deeds. Let America proclaim it
in unison, and let her acknowledge by all means
that the honor of the discovery belongs to Co

great exploits are due the many discoveries that
have been made by others to this day .
and in order that this acknowledgment may be
worthy of the New World. let us erect in the
most visible and notable place in America, in
a central point and where it may be visited by
travellers as they approach her shores, the statue
that his greatness and remembrance demand.
II designate as such a place, Cape Isabella,

VALLEY MIGHT
GROW PAPAYAS

For several weeks the secretary
of the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce has been corresponding with
q papaya grower in Texas who
hopes that farmers of Imperial
Valley may experiment with grow
ing papayas here. The fruit, he
states, is being sold at seven cents
pound and the buyer pays the
express. This brings the grower five
cents a pound, net, and he claims
that he produces 100 pounds OF
saleable fruit to the plant.
This writer states that the tenn
perature summary for 1881 sent him
by the local chamber indicates that
papayas could be grown successful
ly in Imperial Valley. He suggests
that a greenhouse with burlap side
walls and a top of cloth known as
tobacco shade would be satisfac-
tory during the colder part of the
year as a greenhouse if it were
found that the plants would not
thrive in the open.
The following is statement
made from the Texas papaya grow
er: II know that the papaya can
not be grown anywhere else in the
states, or outside and shipped into
California. California is, however,
the best existing market in the
United States for papaya as there
are more people in California who
know and will pay good prices for
the papaya than in any other part
of the United States Back in the
season of 1927, before California
quarantines were quite so strict, |
grew, sold and shipped some 1900
cases of papaya at Miami, Flori-
da. California took one thousand
cases and paid good prices and all
the rest of the United States took
but 600 cases.
If any Imperial Valley farmers
are interested in experimenting
with papaya plants the address of
this grower in Texas may be OBJ
tanned from the Ell Centro Cham
ber of Commerce. There is very lit
tie information available on the
subject of papaya growing in this
section and the chamber staff could
