RULES ISSUED
UNDER CITRUS
MARKET CODE

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27. UP)-
Initial regulations governing all
shippers of oranges and grapefruit
grown in California and Arizona
were issued today by the growers
advisory committee, acting under
authority conferred upon it by the
nationtl citrus marketing agree
ment.
w. c. Frackelton, managing op-
erations of the committee, called
upon all shippers and growers to
file estimates covering oranges and
grapefruit controlled by each ship
per as of January l, 1894.
A preliminary assessment Of 25
cents per standard carload of 462
boxes was levied by the committee,
and must accompany estimates.
Forms on which official estimates
can be made may be obtained from
the growers advisory committee, at
514 East 9Th street, Los Angeles.
1t is essential that estimates be
filed without delay, the committee
announced, because no shipper can
receive an allotment or ship eth
er oranges or grapefruit after pro-
ration goes into effect unless the
shipper has submitted his estimate
and had a prorate basis set. Ship
ping fruit without complying with
the federal license subjects the vio-
lator to penalties of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act, it was point
ed out.
Fruit controlled by each shipper
is only that fruit which the
shipper by legal contract or written
agreement has authority to ship
or to which the shipper has lega,
title, or for which the shipper hao
paid 20 per cent of the purchase
price. Individual growers who act
as their own shippers must file cror
estimates.

and income, companies will be re-
quired to submit gross and net in
veStments in lease holdings and
equipment. They must also cite

CWA AIDS BUSINESS

There can be no doubt that the business
squirt which Imperial Valley experienced
prior to Christmas can be traced in great
measure to the CWA.
Reports show that S26, ,49S.40 in CWA
checks was distributed on Saturday, just
in time to let several hundred persons
get in on the tail-end of Christmas shop
ping. Since December l, total of
100000 has been disbursed in the coun-
ty by the CWA.
1t is rightly assumed that the big ma
jority of those employed by the CWA are
honest persons, who have accumulated
debts through no fault of their own.
Much of the 100000 they received has
been applied to old and current debts.
Reports of businessmen who cashed their
checks prove this.
The 100000 has gone right back into
circulation and it is safe to assume that
much more of this money to be paid out
in the next few months will also be put
into circulation right here in the valley.
Although only six weeks old, the CWA
has more than made good. Elsewhere in
this issue readers will learn that the
CWA is costing the government approx
imately S50,000,000 a week. To all of us
that is an immense sum, but in compar-
ison with government expenditures, it
is not such large amount.
1t is doubtful if any other S50,000,000
has ever done so much good to those
who need it most-the honest persons
who have been unable to obtain work
during the past three years.
In extending the limit of the CWA pro-
gram beyond the original deadline of
February Is, the government has taken
proval of all.

fact it is quite often looked upon with
suspicion.
The Press is happy to extend congrat-
ulatiOns and commendation, which it be-
lieveS will meet with the favor of the en-
tire community, to Odel Farmer of this
city, who risked his life Sunday night to
save three men from drowning in an ir-
rigation ditch.
All reports of the affair in which
Farmer was the central figure, credit
him with a courage, daring and determin-
alton worthy of those to whom medals
are awarded.
Without any incentive other than know
ing human beings were in distress, he
plunged into cold and treacherous water
without a moments hesitation, and
pulled out three men. That one of them
died later, does not detract from Par
mer's deed.
A youth of 10, this was the second time
he risked his life for another. AS boy
of he saved companion from drown
ing.
This community should be proud of
Farmer and his heroism, which is no less
striking or deserving of praise than those
which are accorded national publicity.
