is the ambition of Stoyan
Christowe, Balkar-born American
writer who has locked himself up In
the Library of Congress gathering ma

With his latest book, Heroes and
AssaSsins," hitting into the best-seller
list, Christowe deserted New York in
search Of So rare books, only two of
which could be found in the me-
tropolis. They were all here in the

H. Payne, Federal communications
commissioner, warned yesterday
against permitting the broadcasting
business to become political power"

+. Addressing the American Association
{ of Agricultural College Editors at
Cornell University. Payne said "the

entirely in the hands of those inter-
ested solely in its commercial aspects" !"
The newspaper, too, he said, as the
Fourth estate" has its commercial
I aspects, but since the first paper was
printed on this continent in 1880,
newspapers have fought for human
rights, against political corruption and
for liberty. THE RADIO" he said. bat
ties for no rights"
mo matter how honest may have
been the original thought there is
fundamental danger in the idea more
or less casually advanced that the
broadcasting business constitutes

REGULATION OF CROP DUSTING BY
AIRPLANES NEEDED TOGUARD BEES

over neighboring fields. Airplane
application of arsenicals in the I'M
perial Valley has in the past caused
losses among livestock in near by
fields SO that We feel certain that
hosts of bees have been los where
this dust cloud has drifted over
blooming fields of alfalfa.
They suggest further than any
application of arsenic dust at a
season when the vines are in bloom
and attracting bees should be
made at night or before the flowers
open in the morning. We feel that
method is the best agricultural
practice as it gives better dis
tribution and that the higher hui
midity at night gives better adj
heSion.
In some melon regions. cucumber
beetles are kept off cantaloupe vines
by planting trap crops of related
plants that are far more attract
i've to the beetles than is the COM
mon commercial cantaloupe. These
young plants are then heavily treat
ed with control applications and
the near by blooming vines of cam
taloupeS protected without being
busted at all. If this trap crop
method were used through the val
ley during our whole melon season,
it would be Of great advantage to
all growers.
Careless Farmer Costly
One of the great drawbacks to
successful truck farming here as
elsewhere is the presence of a large
number of growers who never do
any control work until it is too late.
This careless farmer makes the
fight of the good farmer against
insect pests like aphis and cucum-
Der beetles almost hopeless. If we
could force a general fight against
the first pests to appear we would
not need the later costly cam
paigns that the bee keepers are
worrying about.
If we have legislation regulating
the application of poisons, we feel
that it might be advisable to give
the controlling authorities addition
al power to force the treatment of
infestations that are liable to be-
come menaces to neighboring fields,
at time when treatment would
prevent danger to surrounding
fields.
An examination of existing regu-
lations now In active force in the
state and county leads us to the
conclusion that there is ample au-
thority at present to control most
of the complaints liable to arise
if public opinion will support en-
forcement efforts. If additional
legislation is to be put through we
feel that the growers should take
an active interest through a repre-
sentative committee working in
conjunction with the authorities TO
present their viewpoint and work
out a plan for the mutual good of
all concerned.

Within the next few months pro-

on the market millions of dollars
worth of crops.
The division of market enforce
ment is charged with the enforce
ment of the produce dealers act.
AT the present time the division is
conducting an extensive campaign
to bring under license every dealer,
and to weed out the unscrupulous
operator During the course of our
Investigation, it has been brought to
the attention of the division that a
great many sWindles have been
worked on the growers of this state,
in which they have parted with the
control of their crops and have not
received payment.
The produce dealers act gives the
same protection to the producers of
all farm products. However, there
are a few simple rules which must

er the maximum protection which
the Legislature intended when it en-
acted this statute.

Is truly remarkable record.
There were many who believed,
last fall, as the time for planting
approached, that there would be no
lettuce crop this year. Their pessi-
miStic views have been hurled into
the discard by the facts.

Imperial Valley lettuce is shipped
