REVIVES OLD
DAYS IN CITY

In the earlier days ot El Centre,
when "Steve's"' was the most popu-
lar eating place in the city, Russell
Sherwood was manager of the place
and was one of the factors in max
ing it a convivial resort for those
who liked good food and to enjoy
meeting with their friends.
This same spirit prevails in Sher-
woods Coffee Shop, which he now
conducts at Fifth and Main streets,
only a few doors from the old site
of "Steyes".
Sherwood has had years of ex-
perience in the cafe business and
has succeeded in building up
splendid trade through his own per-
sonality and desire to stress the
best in quality and service at min
imum prices.
The large and attractive cafe Of
fers a full line of food, well cooked
and pleasingly served, in an en-
vironment that emphasizes cleanli-
ness and courtesy.
Sherwood is an active member OF
the Ell Centro fire department and
has given full assistance to COM
munity activities whenever called
upon.
Another old timer" who is con-
nected with the cafe is Jack Patty,
remembered by older residents as
proprietor of the Broadway Chop
House, when that establishment ri
vailed "Steye's" in popularity. Jack
is head chef at SherWood's and
takes pleasure in preparing the
same appetizing steaks and chops
which made the Broadway famous
throughout the valley.

all points in Imperial Valley to
all points on the S. D. & A. in the
San Diego area.
These are the definite results of
our organization.
Mr.. HaygroWer, will you join us
in these benefits, and share the re-

Consult Farm Advisors
This method has given control
but in many cases has been accom-
panied by extensive damage. Use
Of zinc sprays also has given en-
couraging results, but some treat
mentS have caused severe burning of
foliage and fruit. Generally, spray
treatments are believed TO be more
satisfactory and show a greater
margin of safety than do soil treat
ments."
Spraying, he says, is the cheapest,
most effective and safest method
developed TO date for controlling
mottle leaf disease. Director Batch

wish TO experiment with zinc as a
control for Mottle Leaf should
communicate with their county
farm advisers, from whom they can
obtain detadoled mmcom- -Hnc

The Imperial Valley Hay Growers
association began its activities as a
hay marketing organization on Ap-
ril 1888. For a number of years
the hay growers of Imperial Valley
have been obliged to sell their hay
for less than the cost of produc-
ton. That siege Of adversely prOmp-
ted organization, and this aSSCcia-
ton is the result.
The hay growers have been slow
to join in this cooperative move
ment, in spite of the recognized
fact, that any movement to improve
the marketing of hay would inure
to the benefit of all hay growers
whether in the organization or not.
However, about forty members
signed up, and the organization
proceeded to function.
Out of 100000 tons of hay raised
in Imperial Valley, and sold in the
market in 1888, this association
handled only about 10000 tons; yet
this relatively small tonnage has
been the hay barometer for the
community throughout the season.
The association kept its ear to the
ground, figuratively speaking, and
all the hay industry profited there
by.
About April l, 1888, the Los An
geles hay buyers were offering a
top price of 81 a ton for U. S. No.
alfalfa hay. 1t had been their
practice TO make offers, and it has
been the practice of the hay grow
er to take the offer, on the assump-
ton that buyers knew the price of
hay. The association, however, as
Sumed the role of salesman, and
by careful observation and orderly
distribution, the price of hay was
steadily advanced from time to time
until now and for several weeks
past the market is S12 for U. S. No.
/. At no time did the association
accede TO the demands of dealers,
and our price has been improving.
Orderly Management Necessary
The point to the foregoing state
ment is that orderly management
in marketing can accomplish much
for any industry. Hay is no eXcep-
ton.
There is another point, however,
much more important at this time
the beginning Of new season.
The few growers who pioneered
this undertaking cannot afford to
and will not continue TO hold the
umbrella for the entire industry. If
the benefits of cooperative market
ing of hay are TO be maintained, all
hay growers must support the or
ganization.
Here are a few Of the advantages
to be obtained through membership
in this association. These are actual
accomplishments this year:
/. We have no bad checks and no
sold hay is unpaid for.
2. A low rate of fire insurance
with 100 per cent coyerage. Under
our plan if you have $1,000 worth
Of hay in stack, the cost of your
insurance will be $3.50 a month,
whereas under the usual rate the
cost would be $3.50 a month.
3. Baling ties may be had through
/ the association at wholesale price
4. A line of credit has been es-
! tablished with the intermediate
Credit Bank of Berkeley on hay in
storage. The present rate of inter
est is three per cent.
5. Plans are now under way for
loans on hay in the stack on the
ranch with the Bank for Coopera-
tives at Berkeley. This will not be

WARNS CITRUS
GROWERS UPON
USE OF ZINC

Use OF zinc as a control for mottle
leaf, a physiological disease affect
ing citrus trees, is still in the early
experimental stages, despite the
fact that investigation into its pos
sibilities has continued for several
years, according to a statement
made today by DR.. L. D. Bachelor,
director OF the University Of Cali
fornia's Citrus Experiment Station,
who cautions growers about using
it.
Soil treatments of zinc sulphate,
he said, have not given SatlSfac-
tory control of the disease, because
the results have been variable.
Light applications produce practic-
ally no results, he explains. Heavy
applications often result in severe
damage, and some trees are killed
outright, he adds.
we recommend that growers do
not try soil treatments except in a
limited way in cooperation with in
vestigators who are endeaYOring TO
determine the cause of the disease
and the reasons for the effective
ness Of the zine he says.
Disease Described
AS described by Director Batche-
lor. mottle leaf disease is character
lied by a yellowing of the leaves be-
tween the veins. As the disease in
creases in severity, the size Of the
leaves becomes progressively small
er. and the leaves become relatively
narrower. Small leaves may be al
most entirely a faded yellow except
for a small green portion along the
base Of the mid-rib.
apparently" explains DR.. Bat
chelor, all that appears necessary to
control the disease is to cause a
small amont OF zinc 10 penetrate
into the conducting vessels OF the
tree and reach the leaves. To test
this theory, zinc sulphate has been
injected into trees either in solu-

Printing Group Charges
Plant With Label Fraud
Union Tag BootIegging on
Candidate Cards Is
Alleged.

Bootlegging union labels on pri-
mary candidate cards is charged in
an injunction suit filed by the IN
ternational Allied Printing Trades
Association against George G.
Mercer, 2022 West Washington
street, in circuit court.
The suit, titled, Guy S. Mccoy,
attorney for John B. Hagerty,
president of the union organization,
against Mercer and his "Old Trails
News Print shop" alleged that in
his Old Trails News he carried an
advertisement on March 80 that
read as follows:
Candidate Cards Printed With
Union Label. Old Trails Print
Shop"
Herbert M. Spencer, Democratic
candidate for prosecutor and attor-
ney for the plaintiff, charged that
MERGERS shop was nonunion and
alleged in the injunction suit that
the union label was the sole prop
erty of the allied printing trades as
ISOLATION.
Damages of $4,000 and attorney
fees are requested in the suit.
Several candidates, according to
Mr.. Spencer, have passed out cards
carrying the alleged bootlegged
label.
No temporary restraining order
was requested.

Then some one in the assembly

And for over an hour by strange

It's a strong play full of dynamite

ORGANIZATION SLATE
SCORED BY DENNY
Voters Must Not Be BoSSed,
Says Candidate.

"Voters should not permit them
selves to be 'bossed' into playing the
game of wooden pistol politicians
in the primary campaign"
That was the plea made by
George L. Denny, candidate for the
Republican nomination for mayor
at a meeting of Republican voters
last night at 1912 North State ave-
nue.. The meeting was one of eight
which Mr.. Denny addressed in his
campaign against organization
politics"
Declaring that it is the business
of the regular Republican organiza-
ton to elect candidates and not to
select them at primary, Mr.. Denny
said:
THE organization slate is the
weapon of selfish and designing
politicians. If you want good gov
eminent you must pay the price of
thinking for yourself. 1t is bad
enough that you don't vote at all,
but it is worse to vote a slate that
you know nothing about, for in do
ing so you likely are to play the
game of the professional politician"

Observers See Coincidence
in Timing of Nippon's
New Policy.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Japan
is suspected today of synchronizing
major announcements of Chinese
policy with unusual naval develop
ments in Great Britain and the
United States.
Two striking condolences are
causing observers to ponder. They
are examining the oriental prob
lem to determine whether British
and American naval movements
were related to Japanese decisions
on:
/. Military invasion of Manchuria.
2. The new Oriental Monroe
Doctrine"
Japan's Manchurian invasion be-
gan Sept. 10, 1881. Twenty-four
hours earlier an embarrassed
British admiralty revealed mutiny
aboard the Atlantic battle fleet at
Invergordon, Scotland.
The Japanese announced they
were invading Manchuria to protect
their railroad and to disperse ban
dts. From that modest beginning
grew new state controlled by ia
pan and nominally ruled by Henry
Pu vi, recently crowned emperor of
Mancl1oukuo
Sailors and petty officers joined
at Invergordon in protest against
pay reductions. The incident oc-
CURED Sept. IS but did not become
known until two days later. The
fleet was about to start autumn ma
neuvers in the North sea.
Maneuvers were postponed. The
ships returned to their home ports
and Britons sustained a tremendous
shock to their pride and sense of
security. For the moment the fleet
seemed to be impotent.

ment is in effect that she wants a
veto over commercial and other re-
lationships between China and for
eign powers the announcement was
accompanied by no military gesture.
But it may prove of even greater
ultimate significance than the move
ment of armed japanese in Man
churia thirty-two months ago.
A question puzzling observers is
whether announcement of Japan's
new Chinese policy was timed to
coincide with departure of the
United States fleet from the Pacific
for temporary station in the Allan
tic. The fleet is due back in Pacific
waters next winter.

TUCWELL'S new
CABINET BERTH
IRKS ROBINSON
Worst Offender in Brain
Trust Lii Arthur
Raves in Senate.
BY DANIEL VI. KIDNEY
Times stan Writer.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Sen-
ator Arthur r. Robinson agrees with
DR.. William Writ and not President
Franklin D. Roosevelt regarding
Rexford Guy Tugweu Of the So
called brain trust"
When Senator Robinson heard
that Dr. Writ, in his latest anti
administration interview in Gary,
blamed Mr. TugWeu for what the
HoOsier school superintendent con-
tended is IAN assault against Amer
lean governmental institutions" the
senator agreed heartily.
Almost at that moment, the Presi-
dent notified the senate that Mr.
TugweL has been promoted to the
new position Of undersecretary Of
the department Of agriculture. He
has been the assistant secretary.
This caused Senator Robinson to
rave.
This action is designed to give
Mr. TugwelI full power over the
AAA," Senator Robinson declared.
If every member Of the senate ap-
proves Of that appointment but my
self, still shall oppose il.
Should Join Moley
The worst offenders among the
brain trusters in the anti-American
attitude cited by DR.. Writ were Mr.
TugWell and Raymond Moley.
Moley is gone and TugWell should
go also, if the present administra-
ton wants TO maintain the con-
fidenCe Of the American people.
Instead of that the President has
elevated him to supreme power in
the agriculture department by this
appointment. That this is what a
an Undersecretaryship means was
we'll demonstrated in the last ad-
ministration when ogden Mills was
under secretary of the treasury with
Andrew Mellon holding the secre-
tary title.
Tugwell Called Liability"
Coming directly in the wake of
the Writ charges, this elevation of
Mr. TugWell seems to me highly
significant. He is a liability and Will
serve only further to dampen con-
hdence in the Roosevelt administra-
ton.
The whole country is against
the brain trust and now the leader
Is to be made the undersecretary
for agriculture"
Senator Robinson refused to state
definitely that he really considers
Mr. TugwelI a menace.
I do not know whether he is a
menace or not" the senator con-
cluded. Il do know that his ap-
pointment to this new place is
highly inadvisable at this time"
