RICE HARVEST
FILMS TAKEN
FOR MOVIES

Rice fields at Imperial, part of
the alkali reclamation project of
DR.. H. T. Cory, and the famous
Mudlark harvesting machine With
it's stripper mounted on it, may
soon appear in the movies.
Yesterday three Hearst newsreel
representatives Bert Layman, cam
eraman, Don Bell, and Eddie Col
Inns, the latter of Brawley, took
about 5000 feet OF film and a num-
ber of still pictures of the rice
harvesting outfit.
Several new strippers are to be
built and will be attached to or
dinary farm tractors to be used
in the harvesting of the flax crop
and contracts for harvesting flax
are now being taken.
Difficulty in harvesting flax has
been experienced, and many believe
that this method will be the an
swer to the problem of collecting
a large percentage of the seed, this
system having proven successful in
the rice harvesting.
At the rice fields in Imperial,
soil samples will be taken as soon
as the ground dries out, at the
same points at which they were
taken by University of California
experts prior to the experiment
In this way the percentage of salt
eliminated by the rice crop will be
learned.
The ground was leveled and ele-
vations taken every 100 square feet
This also will be repeated when
the land dries out and the per-
centage of silt deposit through ir-
rigation will be determined. At
present it is believed to be about
per cent.
H. F. Blaney of the irrigation in
yestigation bureau of Los Angeles
visited the experiment yesterday
and took pictures OF the project.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Eddie
Savoy, the suave old Negro who
acted as unofficial diplomat states
man and major domo of the state
department for a generation, pre-
sents here his famous egg-nog re-
cipe.
Of you make il now, says Eddie,
and put on ice. 1t will be exactly
right, come Christmas day..
The recipe, as Eddie told it at
his home. where he has been writ
ing book since his retirement
from the state department several
months ago. follows:
With one quart Of liquor use from
one to two dozen eggs, half a gall
Ion of milk. powdered sugar, and
nutmeg.
"T'he liquor should be good bran
dy. If this is not possible, use good
whisky and little Jamaica rum
The eggs should be of the highest
grade and the milk, half milk and
half cream.
Most of the liquor should be
placed in the bowl first. Then after

bird with a plump, broad breast;
with thighs, back and all bones
covered with a thick layer of flesh;
preferably with streaks of fat down
the back, over the hops and
along the sides of the breast.
Finally, and in case anybody is
interested in using whisky as the
principal ingredient of Eddie Sa-
yoy'S egg-nog. comes the informa-
tion from official sources that an
enterprising distiller has applied for
a copyright on the phrase Min
nesota-l3'' with which to label his
goods.
Minnesota a-13' originally was
the name of a super-fine grade OF
corn grown in Minnesota. During
the prohibition decade, Minnesota
moonshiners used this corn in the
brewing of a superlatively good
bootleg whisky. They called this
liquor HMinnesota-13'
Such a reputation did 'Minne-
sota-13" attain that it was con-
stunned all the way from Chicago to
Portland, Ore. Many of its de-
Votees claimed that its aroma and
its taste we're finer than that OF
the most expensive Of bonded liq-
uors.
The copyright seeker hopes to
cash in on this reputation.

REFORM BADLY NEEDED,

Speeding up California justice, which
is to be undertaken through statewide
committee to be named by the governor,
Tor the purpose of presenting workable
program of court reform to the next ses-
sion of the Legislature, will meet with
general approval.
There is no doubt that there is great
room for improvement in our courts, the
ordinary routine of arraignment, pre-
liminary hearing and trial requiring a
period of several months in many cases.
Added to these are the frequently used
right of motion for new trial, appeal and
numerous other delays which arise be-
tween the execution of crime and the
imposition of judgment.
Revolt at this outrageous manner of
conducting criminal cases, which has un-
dermined the effectiveness of the state
courts, was responsible more than any
other factor for the recent lynchings at
San Jose, and need for speedier justice
was the prime reason for the lynchings
finding general favor among otherwise
good citizens
Hand in hand with any movement to
speed up justice there should be a de-
termined effort to correct abuses now
committed by the state board of parole.
Ills DOuy has frequently ana UOluly
turned wanton criminals out of the peni-
tentiaries to resume their criminal ca
reerS.
The corrective work will be only half
done If the parole board is ignored in any
reform that is undertaken.
The committee might also, with consid-
cradle benefit, extend its Investigations
and recommendations to the bail bond
business and, through the bar association,
to attorneys who delay justice by tech
nicalities and to judges who permit at
torneys to run wild" in their courts.
Finally, though in the main the press
of the state is conservative on crime news,
the publishers association might cooper
ate with the good work by taking steps
to have metropolitan papers tone down
their reports of criminal cases which are
now "ballyhooed" as circus might be
instead of being treated with the digni-
ty due to a court of justice.
There is big job of ,.housecleaning7
to be done and all hands should get busy
on it.

KNOW YOUR STATE

A "Know Your California" program
Is to be undertaken by the State Cham
Der of Commerce, with the idea, as the
title implies, of giving Californans
better understanding of the state in
which they live
The idea is worthy of commendation
and will merit the support of all civil and
educational agencies.
The majority of Californians are gross
ly ignorant of their state. This is due,
in great measure, to the fact that most
of us have come here from other states
after our schooling has been completed
and we make little, if any effort, to know
anything regarding California except in
the immediate vicinity of our residence.
1t quite often happens that some do
not know much about the territory i'm
mediately adjacent to their place of res
idence
Imperial Valley has been long aware of
the ignorance that exists concerning it on
the part of residents in other sections of
California. Residents on the coast, for
instance, have the most outlandish ideas
regarding Imperial Valley, its topo-
graphy, climate, industries, etc. Weird
stories are frequently heard regarding
our summer climate, for example, and
while in many cases these may be traced
to tall yarns told by residents here,
in many others they are the result of
complete misunderstanding of the val
ley.
On the other hand, many who have re-
sided in Imperial Valley for years know
little or nothing about the northern por-
tion of the state Del Norte county is
as much a puzzle to them as the interior
of Timbuctoo.
The State Chamber of Commerce hopes
to remove much of this ignorance
through a campaign extending over II
months and using numerous agencies for
the enlightenment of the states residents.
1t is something in which every Califor-
nian should be interested and to which
all who are asked to do SO should lend
their support.

STATE EMPLOYEES
SALES TAX

Raleigh-Even state employees
in Raleigh, who derive at least their
proportional part in salary from
the operation of the admittedly un-
desirable sales tax, sometimes go tc
other states to purchase their re-
quirements, rather than pay the
sales tax, according to some Raj
eigh merchants.
One woman, relative of an i'm
portant state official drawing "a
fair salary, is quoted by a merch-
ant as having remarked in his store
recently: 81 wish l had bought
my coat in South Carolina, where
l wouldn't have had to pay that
d-sales tax" He also reported
that two women employees of the
state to his knowledge, had bought
their coats in Washington to avoid
the lax.
The point is made that if the
state employees whose income,
even if small, comes in part from
the sales tax, go to other states to
make their purchases, why should
not any resident do likewise.

Bank Loans
Ready For Farmers

Bank of Columbia acting for itself
or as agent of the Land Bank Com
missioner has closed 3425 loans to-
falling s6,375,OS2.50. These loans
when made by the Land Bank are
on first mortgages, while the Land
Bank Commissioners loans are Sc
cured by either first or second
mortgages.
en- many instances" said Presi-
dent Daniel of the Land Bank, "a
first mortgage loan by the bank is
supplemented with a second mort
gage loan by the Land Bank Com
missioner. This is done to give
farmers applying for loans the
maximum of Is per cent of the
appraised value of their farms
which we can loan under the Farm
Mortgage Act of 1872
In addition to the 1925 loans
which the bank has closed, over
$4,000 loans have been approved
for closing totalling over $780,
900. Approved loans are ready
for closing as soon as the abstract
is brought up to date but many
farmers are holding up their loans
because of failure to send in their
abstracts. The bank is closing
loans rapidly, but it is unable to
overcome delays over which it has
no control.

and will be granted Immediately.
With the consent of the Produc-
ton CORPORATION of the district, 10
or more farmers are eligible to bor=

his loan. The funds derived by
the association from the purchase of
his stock by the corporation must
