Nearly Enough Orders for
Tomatoes Now In to Handle
Operations in 1885; Start
on Spinach Soon

The end of the tomato season at
the cannery is in sight, probably
within the next few days, on ac-
count of frost. The season has been
SO favorable, however, according
to Manager Race, that there is
only another thousand or two cases

ders. Even with another frost
within the next day or two, he
thinks the tomatoes will still be
available to clean up the booked
orders.
Next week the cannery will
start putting up spinach. Between
five and ten thousand cases will be
canned, Mr.. Race says. This crop
will stand more or less frost and at
least a full weeks work will be
provided in filling the orders.
Another SAP. order for ten
thousand cases of tomatoes was
received by the cannery this morn
ing, fer next year. Better than
sixty thousand cases of tomatoes
have already been booked for next
years run, Mr.. Race says, in ad-
dition to several other orders Cor
asparagus and beans. Three diff
ferent outfits have agreed to
handle the entire output of all pro-

These birds are new in this Sec

than the Chinese pheasant, a n d
slightly smaller. Both the male
and female have vivid color green
about their necks. They fly very
straight and fast, getting up from
cover about the way huns do, Mr..

EDITORIAL PACE
FEATURES
COUNTY RECORDER ENDORSED

For the office of county recorder The
Press endorses the incumbent, Mrs. Eva
lyn Boman Nesterfield. who, in the four
years she has served the county in this
capacity. has established record for its
efficient and economical conduct, plus
courtesy to those with whom it does bus
mess.
The Press supported Mrs. Westerfield
four years ago, when she was elected at
the primary over two other candidates,
and is frank TO state that its faith at
that time in her ability as a public Off
cial has been fully justified.
Mrs. Westerfield is a pioneer resident
of Imperial Valley having come here as
a small girl with her family in 1906.
Her father, the late Paul Boman, was
the first treasurer of Imperial county
after it was separated from San Diego In
1907.
For a period of five years prior to her
election as recorder Mrs. Westertleld
served as county librarian, her success
in this position being one of the factors
which swept her into her present office
four years ago She had previously
served four years as assistant librarian.
In endorsing Mrs. Westerfield again
The Press does so in the belief that she
will continue, if reelected, to give the
same fine service in the future to the
people of Imperial county, that she has
in the past.
