KNOW YOUR
MARINES

Here are few facts that outlines
the most important activities of the
Marine Corps which was organized
in It's.
Marines are trained in all duties
of Soldier and many of the duties
of Sailor. They are what Kipling
called Soldier and Sailor" too, "Their
motto is "Semper Fidelis," or cal
ways Faithful" Their emblem is the
Globe, Eagle and Anchor, worn as a
distinguishing device on the cap or
collar or emblazened on the Stand
ards of the Corps.
The pay of a Marine is the same
as Soldier in any respective grade.
He is clothed in either blue, white,
forestry green or khaki uniform de-
pending on the duty he is required
to perform or the season of the year.
Marines ashore perform duties as
infantryman, artillerymen, machine
gunners, signalmen, motor transport
and, occasionally, as mounted infan-
try. They guard our Navy yards,
and mobilize quickly when called
upon for immediate service at sea
Or in the tropics.
In the Fleet they man the secon-
Diary batteries, or torpedo defense
guns, and the anti-aircraft guns,
perform guard duties, and w h n
landing parties are necessary, are
first ashore when trouble threatens.
Marines are aviators too, and
when assigned to this duty are
trained as airplane mechanics, motor
experts, pilots, observers, bombers,
Triggers, or signalmen, and maintain
their own flying fields.
Besides the numerous garrisons
on the seaboard of the United States,
Marines are stationed in the Philip
pines, Guam, the Hawaiian Islands,
and China, guarding American inter-
ests and cooperating with the Navy.
The Marine is uually detailed for
not more than two years at sea or
in foreign country, in order that his
enlistment will offer variety.
The Marine Corps Institute gives
instruction through the correspond
ence method. Every Marine, if he so
chooses, may learn some trade, art
or science. There is choice Of more
than fifty subjects.
Many of the officers of the Corps
have risen from the ranks. Pro-
motion depends almost entirely upon
the ability Of the Marine to meet the
requirements Of the rank to which he
aspires.

COLLEGES TEACH PRODUCER COOPERATION

Courses in cooperative production and marketing are
taught in 45 out of the 4S state agricultural colleges in
the United States, according to the Daymens League
News The number of students in these courses this year
greatly exceeds all previous enrolment
W. l. Myers, governor of the Farm Credit Admins
traon, has said that this is probably the intensive
organized effort behalf of agricultural cooperation ever
undertaken in this any other nation
The courses given in the colleges include proper
counting methods, the history Of cooperative marketing
the study of management problems etc. Furthermore

We have come again to the long
winter time when field work has let
up and there is leisure in the even

days, to study our farm business.
John and Abe decided today to plan

In the country, where many real
folks live, sparkling is additionally a
winter past-time. From the ancient
spelling schools down to the movies
the social opportunities increase in
frequency and virulence as the mean
daily temperature goes down.
To me, fall and winter brings some
leisure for visiting and pleasant
neighborhood gatherings. In our
southern states there are dances,
while 1 am told that protracted meet
ings are held during the winter in
some sections of the country. A GER
tain antagonism has been advertised
between these two forms of social
intercourse but from the high stand
point of sparkling, results seem to be
about equal.

water from tin dipper, and you
will probably see the family washing
going on in the kitchen. Two wooden
tubs and washboard supported by
two almost broken down, old kitchen
chairs are in evidence. A washboiler
may be steaming on a wood-range
while an old, oil lamp will no doubt
be glaring balefully from its bracket

That man has a wonderful barn.
We always go away with a heavy
heart. There isn't poorer farm in
/ this modern age. Of course, years
ago, or even when / was a boy, we
had no electricity, running water,
nor gas engines-at least, engines
had not become so common that the
average farmer could afford one
but know that our farm was a
richer one. Our barn was built of
logs and nondescript boards. Even
so, our home wasn't so much better.
There our hearts were lifted up in
thankfulness through all our hard
ships-if, indeed, you would consider
them as harships. We never thought
of them as such.
Symbol of Prosperity
at is not hard, when the barn is
full of hay, the SILO is packed with
feed, and reasonable amount of
grain in the bins and crib, to be
thankful for the blessings of the
year," wrote George Godfrey a few
evenings ago.
Godfrey must know that a silo is
worth more to any farm than a
empty politician. A silo for every
farmer would do more good to the
agricultural interests of the country
than if we had farmer in every
senator.
The silo under proper management
could help to lift the heaviest mort
gage. The feed from it will put meat
on bones and sickness in poor hides.
1t could save men from bankruptcy
and women from distress an d
poverty. It has sent promising youths
to college and built comfortable
homes for others.
It is considered one Of the newest
things in agriculture, yet the an
clients long before the birth Of Christ
preserved green feed in underground
pits in an effort to make summer
feed conditions in winter. These
early efforts at preserving green
feed, however, were only moderately
successful, because farmers in those
days knew nothing of bacteria and
how to control them.
When the sculptor of the future
shall hew from the enduring granite
Of the northwest a statue of the
liberator Of agriculture he will bring
forth colossal figure, clad in the
habiIiments of the soil tiller, bearing

other a dairy COW.

When the United States Supreme Court upheld the
right of the federal government to develop distribute
and sell hydroelectric power from Wilson Dam in the
Tennessee valley perhaps unconsciously it dealt
blow to obstructOnists who would impede power
development along the All American canal in Imperial
Valley. Just surely the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict had been party to the suit, it sweeping
victory in the supreme court action AS similar par
alle lines the contentious advanced by IVA oppo-
nents and the contentious voiced against power develop
ment on Imperial Valleys great canal
The supreme court decision left nothing to the
imagination. 1t with eight-to-one ma jOrity.
Even Justice Owen j. Roberts, antiNeW Deal leader
mentioned likely Republican candidate for presi-
dent, cOncurred There is only possible conclusion
No shadow of doubt can be cast the right
of the federal government to furnish funds for power
development. To Imperial Valley, the decision
that the All American canal will pay its own way; it
will not drain the pockcbooks of Imperial Valley tax
payers for forty years to come.
Not only does the supreme court decision uphold
the right of the government to produce power but also
to build transmission lines and to sell the power
If the has that right then certainly
it has the right to loan money to public agencies
ry through similar programs. In simple terms the
court decision means to Imperial Valley that
possible suit to prevent the federal government from
loaning money to the district for power development
has been decided before it filed, prepared
There is appeal from that decision.
Currently the highest tribunals judgment seems
to make futile gesture out of the suit pending in the
United States circuit court of appeals against the rrga
ton district True the in circuit deals with
the California state constitution, but otherwise the
points raised similar to those in the IVA litigation.
The circuit court questions the right of the district
to engage in the power business. The IVA queS
toned the right of the government to deal in power
There is little doubt that the supreme court decision
will have decided effect the circuit courts action
The IVA decision, though unwttingly did
much to give righofway to All American canal power
development.

Salt River Valley farmers
campaign to destroy a third
of their spring lettuce crop
to secure higher prices is
progressing but slowly, spokesman
admitted today.
They said all but one large SAT-
River Valley packing company had
agreed to the plan, which would
involve blowing under one-third
the crop, just before the harvest
begins, but that they had not yet
secured the cooperation OF Yuma
district growers and shippers.
Tentative proposals to Califor-
mia growers that they hold back
their heaviest shipments until af-
ter the Arizona crop has cleared
the market have met with COM
plete lack of enthusiasm, Salt RiV-
CT spokesman said.
The Arizona lettuce crop usually
goes to- market between that aris-
ed in the Imperial Valley of Cali
fornia and that produced in the
Salinas district.
A strict control program here,
it was explained, would reduce the
amount of lettuce available during
the Arizona season and raise
prices correSpondingly.
1t was indicated the Arizona
growers continue their efforts to
reduce their crop despite refusal
of California producers to agree.
The blowing under would begin
about March l. Peak of this states
harvest is around March Is.
