COUNTY LEADS
COUNTRY WITH
LETTUCE CROP

Again Imperial County leads the
United States in production, this
time in lettuce, according to a re-
port from the United States Bureau
of Census received at the El Cen
tro Chamber Of Commerce. With
reports already received from
Washington that Imperial Valley
leads the country III value Of cam
taloupes and total vegetable crops,
is fifth in value OF asparagus crops
and eleventh in agriculture and
livestock generally, the fact that
this county also leads in lettuce or
other individual crops becomes al
most a matter of acceptance rather
than news"
The acreage of lettuce, according
TO the reporC sent TO the chamber,
in Imperial County was 25,194, with
Monterey, Maricopa, Santa Bar
bara and Santa Cruz, all Califor-
MIA counties, except Maricopa, Ari"
zona, ranking next in order. The
first two had slightly over 10000
acres each. The value of Imperial
County's crop was S4376,2 ,228, Or 22.l
per cent OF the value Of lettuce pro-
duced in the entire United States,
and 36.9 per cent of tie value of
the lettuce crop of the State of
California, which produced SAL
per cent of the country's lettuce.
These figures are net surprising
TO the residents Of Imperial coun-
~" stated Hays today, "but they
will come as surprise to eastern
and mid-WeStern communities OF
the United States, judging from the
lack Of knowledge of this section
OF the country which was indicated
by the many newspaper clippings
received when the All-American
Canal was taken into the pubic
works program. There seemed 20
be a general impression N TIE east
that Imperial County was a strug-
Cling desert community growing
meagre crops irrigated by limited
supply of water and some Of the
clippings intimated that it hal dly
seemed worth while to bring more
water to a reclaimed desert area.
Very few eastern papers realized
that Imperial Valley crops are not
in competition with those of other
communities but that We grow crops
which cannot be raised in the
north and at a time when their
crops could not possibly be mar
eted. The chamber staff is trying
to publicize TIE true facts about
Imperial Valley in order that the
whole country ma know Of our
nealthful winter sunshine and un-
derstand why we are called the
Winter Garden Of America"

HORSE RACES NOW
LEGAL IN STATE
[COntinned from First Paael


cifically prohibits betting on races
and provides a fine of $1,000 and two
years Imprisonment for violation of
this clause.
The racing will be controlled and
regulated by commission of three
men to be named by the governor
and their expenses will be limited to
$4,000 a year. This commission will
have the right to adopt the rules of
the New York Jockey Club.
While betting is prohibited, the
Legislature mas passed an act to
amend the Constitution to legalize
betting at races through pari-mutuel
machines and totalizers. This act
will have to be passed by the next
Legislature also, before it can be-
come a law.
The purpose of the Van SAINT bill,
it is understood, is to have the sport
established by the time the next
General Assembly convenes, when 1t
is hoped to pass the amendment that
will make possible betting. 1t is un-
derstood followers of racing who
want to see it established in this
State are preparing to construct a
track near Claymont. The law spe-
cifies that all tracks would have to
be at least one mile.

"MARKET-T0-FARM" BY
TOWNSHIP ROADS

The ambition of the great State OF
Pennsylvania to be regarded a pro-
gressive in its social and industrial
life. regardless of opinions concern
ing its political position, has gained
substantial recognition In Wash
ingtOn among Government officials
and other friends of good roads,
who lifted their hats" to the mile
age transfer plan of the Keystone
State.
S. S. Lewis, Secretary of High
ways in Pennsylvania, has made a
vigorous statement in behalf of his
States venture in taking over for
improvement and maintenance some
10000 miles OF township roads The
Country Gentleman" published. in
Philadelphia, throws its powerful
support to the Pennsylvania plan,
which it wants to have extended to
the whole Nation.
IF present signs are at all indi-
cative, our 100000 miles of local
roads are going to receive consider
ably more attention and more
equitable share of the gasoline and
vehicle tax funds during these next
few years." says The Country Cen
tleman. This. manifestly is the next
logical step in Americas program
of highway development and tinan-
cing-a step which now, rather sud
denly, has been made inescapable by
the general breakdown of the prop
erty tax"
Mr.. Lewis points out that the
township roads are market-t0-farm
roads as wei ! as farm-tO-market
roads, their more familiar designa-
tion. He accepts as conclusive the
theory that these market-to-farm
roads (paved with low-cosr dustless.
mudless year around surfaces) af-
ford the business man. alert for new
business, just as many Opportuni-
ties to reach new customers as are
given the farmer to reach new mar
kets quickly-and to reach old mar
kets quicker than he can with mud
begged roads.
Pennsylvania is setting q good
example. During a period when it is
agreed that general economic inn
provement depends largely upon an
increased protection of agricultural
interests, the Keystone State is ex-
tending it's motor vehicle and gas
tax expenditures to the improve
ment and maintenance of rural
highways. Instead of being concen-
trated entirel yon main routes, the
State highway fund is thus taking
load from the backs of the land
owners

VALUELESS DOLLARS

1t probably never occurs to most
of us that there is such thing as
valueless money. And it isn't coun-
terfeit either. Millions of honest and
| legitimate good dollars in this coun-
try are now absolutely yalueless and
useless.
This is the money that drops out
of circulation. II is boarded money.
Its owners keep it in safe deposit
boxes or in teapots or buried in the
back yard.
Money has no intrinsic value-its
value is determined by what it can
do when it is working. When out
of work, it is as useless as would
be a number of similar sized pieces
of tin. II isn't paying taxes or meet
ing dividends or employing labor or
buying supplies. 1t isn't doing its
part i'm keeping the wheels of enter
prise turning.
There are two distinct ways of
putting money back into circulation.
One is depositing it in commercial
or savings accounts in banks, or
purchasing government or other
ONiiNi -
by buying needed articles or effect
ing necessary repairs. And this way
is the best of all. The money spent
serves double purpose. 1t pro-
vides employment and alleviates
distress-and it obtains for the
spender the supplies and repairs at
the lowest prices since pre-war days!
Put at least part of the dollar into
furnace renovation, into a new roof
or other house repairs or paint, into
some labor saving appliance, into
plumbing or yard work. You'll get
about twice the value you'd have
got three years agO-and you will
have helped the cause of recovery.
America needs more jobs, and
less charity. 1t needs more spend
ing-wise spending, that gets hon
est and permanent values in return.
Remember that right now invest
ment and employment are cheaper
than charity"
