Washington-The movement fol-

across 81 states, was shown by an
official tabufation to have piled up
a total popular t of nearly 3 to

With New Mexico and Idaho

Eighteenth Amendment. Not a
single state having as yet voted for
the retention.
This placed the repeal forces in

An official cf one of the coun-

In addition there probably would
be available a quantity of freshly

CROP PRODUCTION LOANS MAY
BE DIFFICULT FOR WHEAT MEN

Wheat growers in Imperial Valley
may have difficulty in obtaining
crop productions loans due to a
new ruling, and this difficulty may
apply to other crops, according to
Frank Beyschlag, farm advisor,
who just received the information.
The federal government, Beysch-
Lag states, has been criticized be-
cause on one hand, under the Agri-
cultural Adjustment act, it is urg-
ing a reduction in crops while the
farm credit organization is making
loans to produce more crops. In
an attempt to reconcile these incon-
sistencies, new ruling has been
made that credit will not be grant,
ed to wheat growers unless the ac-
reage is reduced.
Beyschlag states that this is a
logical process but it is unfortunate
that the provisions of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act do not fit
the system of wheat growing in the
valley. To begin with, the provis-
ions are based on the average pro-
duction of wheat on the individual
farm on a basic period from 1928
to 1882
Due to the system of crop rota-
ton practiced in the valley these
figures are not available here, and
there is not single grower in the
valley able to sign up under the
provisions of the act. Beyschlag
states that growers hope to be able
to obtain a modification of the rul-
Imperial Valley press., 1933-11-28

ing so that it will fit local condi-
tions as otherwise they will be un-
able to obtain crop production
loans.
Must Cut Acreage
In a letter sent out today by
Beyschlag to the wheat growers he
points out that the county is now
grouped with Riverside, San Ber-
nardino and San Diego in a dis
trict wheat production control as
sociation, with N l.. McFarlane, as
sistant farm advisor from River
side, in charge.
Farmers seeking farm credit ad-
ministration loans to finance wheat
production must agree to seed nc
more than IS per cent Of their av-
erage annual acreage for the base
period mentioned above. This ap-
plies to loans from the Los An
geles branch of the Regional Agri-
cultural Credit corporation, the El
Centro Production Credit corpora
ton which is being set up and to
loans from any other institution
borrowing from the Federal Inter-
mediate Credit bank.
Those with an average annual
acreage of 95 or more acres are ef-
fected by the requirement, and those
with 30 acres or less are not.
Information for figuring the base
period if it is less than the five
years is given in the letter with
reference to requirements relative
to the associate cooperators.

FANNIE WARD
HAS NOTHING
ON OLD HORSE

That the old adage, appearances
are often deceiving, still holds
good, was discovered yesterday by
w. V. Truitt, county humane Off
GER, who in company with other
good judges of horses, found he had
made mistake.
Recently Truitt advertised a
horse for sale, the animal being a
stray that he had found, and in his
advertisement. stated that the an
imal was 10-12 years old.
Mrs. Jessie l.. Dutton answered
the advertisement and to Truitt s
chagrin, recognized the horse as
one she had owned in 1907, the an
imal then being of working age.
and being now at least 30 years
old.
In spite of his advanced age, the
horse is youthful not only in ap-
pearance, but in spirits for only
this morning he was in such q
mettlesome mood that he jumped a
barbed wire fence several feet high.
Other self-styled judges of horses
also agreed with Truitt S estimate
that the animal was only II years
old, which somewhat comforted the
humane officer.
Mrs. Dutton was delighted to
find her horse again and is going
to pension him for the remainder
Of his life.

U SISTER MARYS
J J, e KITCHEN
BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service stan Writer


IT'S difficult to understand just
why the menu for the Thanks
giving dinner should puzzle any
one of us. Our honored ancestors
in the days of the Pilgrim fathers
and mothers established a menu
that has remained fixed and un-
changeable through the years, yet
each year in countless homes. No
vember brings the important ques-
tion # "What shall we have for
our Thanksgiving dinner?'
Usually the answer is Turkey,
by all means" However, the very
small family may prefer a good
sized chicken stuffed and roasted
exactly like the turkey, or a say
ory duck with sage and onion
stuffing. Guinea hen and any va
riety of game may take their
places as the piece de resistance
for the Thanksgiving dinner with
excellent effect.
But turkey alone can't make a
Thanksgiving dinner. The "tiXin's'
are as important as King Turk. In
some parts of old New England
chicken pie ran a close second to
turkey. Both were often served
at the same dinner. According to
our modern way of thinking and
eating, either one or the other, but
not both, should be served.
Tcn-Pound Bird for Eight
\ ten-pound turkey is ideal for
group of six or eight. If the
family is to include ten or more
be needed. TWO ten-pound turk
eys will be found more satisfactory
than one eighteen or twenty
FOUNDER. The meat on the small
bird is apt to be much more tender
and sweet than on the larger ones.
Don't forget to have the turkey
delivered to you drawn and clean
ed.
Have the turkey delivered early
in the morning of the day before
Thanksgiving. This gives time to
wash and thoroughly drain the
bird before stufiing late in the al
ternoon. If the turkey must be
washed and stuffed on Thanksgiv-
ing morning, confusion is likely to
reign in the kitchen.
The following menu is a typical
"old time" dinner. While simple
It is interesting enough to give
the cook ample opportunity to dis
play her skill. If it does not meet
your immediate needs it may sug-
