ON ORGANIZED CRIME

WIDELY different statements from
" those in position to know regarding
crime activities in Southern California,
leave the average citizen somewhat per-
picked as to which he is to accept as the
truth.
District Attorney Fits of Los Angeles
Is quoted this week as saying there is no
such thing as organized crime in South
erS California, and it is assumed he
means no criminal syndicates such as
have flourished openly in Chicago and
other cities.
The Los Angeles police chief, pro-
testing a suggestion of one of his city's
councilmen that the state senate investi-
gate crime conditions there, denies there
is any collusion between police and GRIM
inals and declares there is no necessity
for such investigation.
Almost in the same breath the feder-
al authorities state there are 700 alien
criminals in Southern California, against
whom they plan an active warfare. The
federal figures have not been disputed
by the state and county authorities
1t is inconceivable to assume that Mr..
Fits and the chief of police believe there
is no Organization" among these GRIM
inals They certainly cannot believe that
each of the 700 operates Independently.
There is too much evidence to indicate
that the contrary is true
While wordy wars are being conduct
ed through newspapers by the various
officials, seeking to prove that crime is
at minimum in Los Angeles and vicin-
ity, the same papers are daily carrying
stories of murders, hold-ups, vice activ-
tiles, robberies, and long category of
crimes indicating the criminal element
must be more serious than the district
attorney and the chief of police are will
ing to admit.
The operations Of the criminals are
not confined by any means to Los An
geles, but the metropolitan area, being
more densely populated than adjacent
areas is the center for crime activities
which extend all through the southern
part of the state.
Within the last few months there have
been at least three police officers killed
in the metropolitan area, which should
be convincing argument to those in au-
thority that crime is operating on a big
scale and can only be overcome by stern
measures.
The sooner all officials become con-
vinced that Southern California Grim
inals are we'll organized and are not cp-
Grating on kindergarten basis, the bet
ter chance they will have of fighting sue
cessfully against them.

Uncle WIGGILY AND THE
VOLTS TAIL

Uncle Wiggily was helping Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy by using her
vacuum sweeper on the parlor rug
in the hollow stump bungalow one
day when something very funny
happened. I'm going to tell you all
about it.
In the beginning the Woozie
Wolf had told the Bob Cat about
a plan to catch Uncle Wiggily.
The Wolf said he would go to the
bungalow, wait until Nurse Jane
and Mrs. Longears had gone out
and the Bad Chap would knock
at the door.
Uncle Wiggily will think it is
a delivery from the store, he'll
open the door and I'll get him!'
the Wolf had said.
Now it had nearly all come true.
Mrs. Longears had gone to the S
and 6 cents store to buy a new
automobile. Uncle Wiggily told
Nurse Jane she might go shopping.
for he would finish the vacuum
sweeping for her. And now the
rabbit gentleman was pushing the
whizzing, humming sweeper over
the rug. to and fro. whistling a
merry tune and twinkling his pink
nose.
"Ah! This time I'll get him!'
snickered the Wolf as he went
Imperial Valley press., 1933-01-27

softly toward the bungalow and
knocked at the door.
"Ha, I hear a knocking" said
Uncle Wiggily as he shut off the
electricity from the vacuum sweep
er, for it made such humming
sound that he couldn't hear very
much while it was going. Il guess
this must be delivery from one
of the stores" thought the rabbit.
Nurse Jane, before she went out,
had told the rabbit gentleman that
She expected some deliveries and,
of course, naturally, Mr.. Longears
thought that's what this was.
But it wasn't. 1t was the Wolf
who had knocked and the Bad
Chap was smart enough to guess
that Uncle Wiggily might be ex-
pecting a delivery from the store
so he would open the door. The
reason the Wolf knocked instead
of ringing the bell was that the
bell was broken.
We'll I'll take this delivery in
and then I'll finish vacuum sweep
/ ing for Nurse Jane" said Uncle
Wiggily, humming little song al
he hoped to the door.
You can imagine how surprised
the rabbit gentleman was when hi
/ opened the door and instead oi
seeing the delivery cat from the
store he say the Woozie VOL

himself in and stood in the middle
of the room looking at the rabbi
and at the vacuum sweeper.

DOUBLE CAUSE
ASSIGNED FOR
DROP IN EGGS

Reasons for the sudden price de-
cline in eggs which has just taken
place are given by II. Lee Lander
man, assistant farm advisor and
poultry expert, who states that
there are two major causes for the
sudden downward trend.
First, the price went so high
with extras retailing at 40 cents
per dozen in the local markets that
the demand was cut down, pur-
chasing power being limited.
Second, a great many of the
summer matched birds were just
coming into production and egg
production is approaching the peak
which usually is reached about the
middle of March.
Landerman states that in spite
of the fact that the fall hatchery
demand has diverted quite per-
centage of the better grades of
eggs, and also that in spite of the
fact that the cold storage demand
is good, these two factors, the in
crease in price and the increase
III ICCGlpIS OIl lliC IlldihCb 1luNS
been responsible for the drop.
In analyzing the reason for de-
creased demand, Landerman points
out that lower prices in pork and
mutton products and in other pro-
tein foods make them potential
competitors of eggs. While eggs
were at the top price, these other
products were coming down and
the trade switched to the cheaper
produce in view of the lowered pur-
chasing power of the public.
Hatcheries Suffering
Hatcheries also are suffering un-
der limited buying power and as a
result tremendous increase in
poultry production is not antici-
pated for the future, since the
owners have not money enough to
buy new chicks. Landerman says
that the majority of the bookings
for new birds are coming from the
i people already in the poultry bus
mess who are forced to put in re-
| placements because they have not
done SO for two or three years.
Cold storage holdings of eggs arc
far below what they were year
ago at this time and also far be-
low the five year average. In this
connection also receipts at the
| principal egg markets of the Pa
cific coast are running practically
80 per cent under the figure for
last year at this time.
In conclusion, Landerman points
out, with these facts in mind, it
Is probable that the low egg price
will not continue. Buying power
! of the egg producers being limited
it is probable that there will be
no great increase in production as
! occurred in 1890.

PLENTY OF TROUBLE

JOB AND his boilS didn't have a great
y deal on the present governor of the
State of California, insofar as troubles
are concerned
With senate committee Investigating
his administration, the Legislature turn
ing down his program for balancing the
budget, the Grange threatening a recall
and the officials of the hospital where
he is an influenza victim Withholding his
pants Chats what he calls them) from
him, the governor is in a bad way
To certain extent the governor has
our sympathy He really is sick and it
is no fun having additional troubles
when one is in bad health. He is, by ma
ture cheerful person and we'll entitled
to be known as Sunny jim. As far as
his personal troubles go we sympathize
with him.
But we do believe that as governor of
the state and insofar as state troubles
are concerned, he is but reaping the har-
vest of the whirlwind sown during the
first two years of his term.
The present financial muddle in which
the state faces a heavy deficit, cannot
be fairly charged to the governor, in the
face of existing economic conditions.
However, a strong stand in favor of re-
llcDC1lliiSUI anu SCOUOIIlgs ldhS1
Inauguration, and vigorously prosecuted
in the past two years, might have done
much to prevent the present mess.
Instead the governor deemed it more
desirable to fit hither and yon spending
his time on affairs that can hardly be
considered as essential to the welfare of
the state They might be viewed as be-
ing all right when everything is going
smoothly but under the existing circum-
stances they were entirely out of line.
Even if the various Investigations and
charges against the governor fall flat,
the mere fact that opportunity was given
for making them has been detrimental
to the welfare of the state. The ma
chinery is not functioning as it should,
with the result that squabbling and bick-
ering among state officials keep things
in an uproar. At time when harmony
is vitallv essential we have turmoil.
Perhaps time for reflection afforded
by confinement to a hospital bed will
prove beneficial to the governor in more
ways than one.
The Roosevelt cabinet is to have Glass
in it. And that is appropriate in more
ways than one.
The legislature ought to adopt Ford
Chatters' school economy proposal. A
newspaperman can't be wrong.

EXPERT TALKS
ON IMPORTANCE
OF MELON CROP

Covering $4,000 acres, represent
ing 10 per cent of the western vege-
table industry, second in value only
to the lettuce crop of California,
and exceeded in acreage only by
lettuce and asparagus, Imperial
/ Valleys cantaloupe crop is now $40,
900, 5000 annually.
| This statement was made by G.
/ w. Scott, assistant in truck crops,
branch of the college Of agricul-
! ture. University of California, in a
| recent radio talk during the univer-
sity's period in the Western Farm
! and Home hour. Expansion Of the
Imperial Valley cantaloupe indus
try, Scott said, from 297 cars in
, 1905 to $4,000 cars in 1882, has been
aided by development of varieties
that ripen early, have high eating
quality, and withstand shipment to
eastern markets.
"One variety has superseded an
other as rapidly as new melon
has been shown to meet these re-
quirements better" said Scott. "At
present. Hale's Best is the most i'm
portant variety, representing the
main crop shipping cantaloupe OF
Imperial Valley"
Many Varieties Tried
In 1925. according to the speaker
poWdery mildew, fungus diseases
suddenly appeared, causing, during
the severe miidew years of 1926 and
1890, reduction in yields as high as
!. 30 per cent. To combat This fun
gus. the University of California CO.
operating with the United States
department of agriculture began II
1926 to develop variety that would
resist the mildew and still meet re-
quirements for shipping melon
Varieties were imported from al
parts of the world and tested.
i Out of the various breeding trials
strain know as Mildew Resistan'
Cantaloupe No. so has been devel'
oped, reports Scott, which appear
to have the desirable qualities OF
shipping melon, besides POSSESSING
the resistance factor. This strair
has now been distributed to seeds
men and growers for 1888 planting
for trial.
THE development of mildew re-
sistant cantaloupe to meet the needs
of the vegetable industry" declare'
Scott, "is another example of th'
benefits derived from the aprlica
ton of scientific breeding principles
by the plant breeder. In this work
valuable cooperation has been re-
ceived from various Imperial Valle!
interests, including growers, count!
