Coal Operators Accused
of Violating MIRA Code

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Charges Of
violating the price schedule of the
NRA fair competition code for the
coal industry were filed in the Fed
eral Court here by w. L. Vandeven-
ter, United States District Attorney,
against j. S. Moore and his son, S.
Moore, mine operators of Putnam
County, Mo.
One count charged the Moores
with selling coal at a mine near I'm
~ionville at S1.87 a ton instead of $3.50
a ton, which is the price set for the
mine under the code.
Mr.. Vandeventer said the penalty
for violation of the code is a Jail SEN
tence of not to exceed six months OF
a fine not to exceed $1,000, Or both
of Lumber Manufacturers, has become
an administrative assistant to Gen
Johnson in NRA. The office of NRA
deputy administrator in charge Of the
lumber code has bounced from one
lumber baron's friend to another I'M
til it has reached the lap of Asst
Deputy E. A. Selfridge, former or
ganizer Of lumber associations anc
one of the industry's key men in the
department of commerce under Hoov-
er.
The craftiest brains of the lumber
trust have been sent to the timber
conservation conferences with repre-
~sentatives of the department of agri-
culture. They are "aiding" in prepar-
ing recommendations Of public meas
ures to provide for the conservation
and sustained production of forest re-
sources" required to be drafted under
article 10 of the lumber code.
Axel H.. 0xholm, chief of the lum-
Der industry-financed division of for
est products of the department OF
commerce under the old regime, in
stead of being furloughed, has beer
lent to the department of interior tc
place subsistence homesteaders on the
stump ranches of lumber companies
Lumber barons have been trying foi
decades to secure subsistence "stumT
ranchers" to man their seasonal jobs
The workers annual earnings were ST
low that it required the labor of &
wife and family among the cabbages
and stumps if such employees were t.
subsist. Oxholm is advancing a plar
for forestry work under private con.
troll and ownership which would make
the %jolliest sort of opportunity to pusi
in subsistence homesteaders.
Some companies, hard pushed, ar,
reported to be willing to unload theil
timber reserves on the government
at a price. That price would doubt
less be higher than the one suggested
by Marshall. In any event there u
going to be a fight over the people,
forests, and Marshall's book is tn,
handiest and most reliable source fol
the facts.

SUNDAY PICNIC
PLANNED FOR

Invitations have been issued and
arrangements completed by the

Commerce for huge all-day get
together and beach picnic to be
held next Sunday, June 8, at Sal

the Salton Sea, where enough time
will be taken from the days pleas

commended construction by the
state of the proposed cutoff high
way between INLAND and Blythe,
via Beale IS well, Chuckawalla Well1
and U. S. Highway go.
Widespread interest has been
aroused in the new road, which
would not only allow easy access
to Imperial Valley from highway
No. 60 but would also facilitate
and shorten travel from the valley
to Boulder dam over roads already
constructed and to be improved
Secretary Helen Kuns of the Cal

invitations to state highway de-

It is possible that the flax acre
age in Imperial Valley may be re-
duced next fall below our expecta-
tion, due to shortage of available
seed for planting purposes. With
the market advancing as it has for
the past three weeks many growers
will sell their good seed to crush
ers rather than hold it for seed to
be sold to prospective growers.
From our information We would
not advise growers not to take ad-
vantage of good market at this
time.
If the grower has to pay storage,
insurance, recleaning, interest on
his investment, and withstand the
clean-out he would make more
money by selling at the present
time to the crusherS, in case the
market should slump at planting
time From our records of many
years past the market does slump
during the months of September,
October and November, which is the
time that we plant here. Those
who do plan on putting in flax
next fall should make arrange
mentS for their seed very shortly.
Otherwise they may not be able to
secure good seed, and it would
again be necessary for them to i'm
port seed as they did last fall and
it would not be desirable.
If the price goes to 81 a bushel
fob. cars here, field run, I would
not advise anyone to hold any
longer because that is an excellent
market. Those who wish to secure
seed can get a list of those who
will have good seed by calling at
the farm advisor IS office. While
our threshing has not been as
good as we would like to see it,
very satisfactory yields are being
obtained We have not heard of
anyone who has lost money on the
crop this year so far, which is far
above expectations.
The majority of growers have
made more money per acre on
flax this year than they have on
any thing else for the past three
years. Recleaned seed for planting
purposes can be secured from a
number of growers for Sc cents a
bushel above the July quotation of
Minneapolis flax, as quoted in our
local papers.
Several samples of flax from I'M
perial Valley were analyZed by
Archer-Daniels Midland company.
and their report showed Imperial
Valley seed to rank on a par to
the Chinese seed which, in the
past, has been considered seed of
the highest oil content of any pro-

The plays have been written
with view to amateur production
