Shipments Here


San Francisco's shipping strike is
crippling the grapefruit shipments
from Imperial and Yuma valleys
at the present time, said Glenn A.
Hipes, mana ger of the Desert Cit
rus exchange.
Many shipments either to be ex-
ported directly from the valley or
shipped to San Francisco to be ex-
ported from there can not be sent
due to the strike.
AS a result Imperial and Yuma
valleys are shipping through the
exchange only 1912 cars daily as
compared to $3.50 earlier in the
season. Fifteen per cent of the
crop to be handled by the exchange
is being shipped at the present
time.
Quality is excellent, said B. A.

er, the Arizona fruit also now being

BRINGING ALL
THE NEWS TO
IMPERIAL
VALLEY
THE HILLENIUM
LIS NOT YET HERE

1t seems strange even to consider the
Xtheory that FL Centro, and for that
matter, Imperial Valley, has stopped
growing To anyone who watches the
trend closely, there are so many proofs
of continued growth that to think that
standstill has been reached is prac-
tically impossible. Because of this, it is
strange to find someone who believes
that the peak of population has been
reached here-that Imperial Valley is
about as large-in figures of population
as it will ever be.
There always have been those who
could see no greater future here. In
1908. when the city of Ell Centre was
incorporated, there was large group
I Ialigned on the side of the belief that it
was nothing less than insanity to start
. CITY here. Imperial, they pointed out,
was too close 1t would kill the incipient
| CITY of Ell Centre before it was well
started. Only about 600 persons lived
here then.
By 1910. growth had been so phenom-
email that any further development-ac-
cording to some-was more than could
| be hoped. The population, and it was
about 1900, could not increase very
materially, they argued. But it did. 1t
was about $500 in 1915-and still you
hearQ tnat The peak Ol pOpuldllou ldu
been reached You still hear the same
thing.
The man to whom Imperial Valley
will be kindest in years to come is the
man who believes, now, in the inevitable.
| 1t is inevitable that the valley will con-
tinue to grow. 1t is hardly out of the
pioneering stage right now. Its natural
resources have just begun to be tapped
There is a total of many acres still un-
cultivated. There are industrial oppor-
tunities which have not been touched.
Growth? Imperial Valley cannot help
growing.
What of the time when the east mesa
and the west mesa are brought into cul-
tivation? What of the time when the
growing populations of Los Angeles and
San Diego turn to the valley for dairy
and farm products? What of the ulti-
mate development of smaller, more
thoroughly cultivated farms?
The future is before us. The unbe-
lever is the one who will suffer from
his own lack of foresight. To take ad-
vantage of development, it is necessary
to keep abreast of the times, or perhaps
a little ahead of them. That is what we,
in Imperial Valley, must do.

unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court although agricultural lead
ers were convinced it had done
much to achieve their program Of
economic equality with industry.
In 1886 the amendments to the
soil conservation act and the dom
estic allotment act of February 20
were passed.
Mclaughlin points oIt that it
was hurriedly drafted to tide over
the emergency but that it was the
farmers own program written by
them and that its goal is the same
as that of the AAA, economic par
ity, and to maintain and increase
the gains already made.
These ends could be attained, it
was believed by the farmers, by
diverting from production basic
crops which are the soil depicting
crop some Is per cent of the 375,-
600 900 acres constituting the aver
age paintings of the crops over
period of years during which the
depressing farm surpluses were pro-
duced.
Adjustment Made
Fifty million acres were to be
diverted from soil depicting to soil
conserving crops to so adjust sup
ply to demand. This figure of Is
per cent may be varied from year
to year to suit changing conditions,
the problem being to restore and
maintain farm incomes. this being
the heart of the program. Incen-
tives have been provided to con-
serve the soil fertility.
The act is "an unparalleled op-
portunity to join in a cooperative
effort to accomplish these objec-
tives. Different ways of reaching
our goal of profitable production
have been worked out for differ
ent commodities. We have a plan
for wheat, another for cotton, rice,
flax, sugar beets and under the
program every farmer can cooper
ate. To compensate the individual
for the inconvenience anu expenec
| he is put to, peneflJ Payments nave
been worked out in which all may
participate, but these payments con-
stitute the smallest part Of the
benefits to be expected.
"The opportunity to adjust supply
to demand and raise farm prices
to profitable levels all along the
line is out of all proportion to the
Immediately available cash bene-
| fits which may be expected.
Results Encouraging
ut is still too early to determine
to what extent the aim has been
accomplished but so far as Impe-
rial Valley is concerned the inter
est aroused and the results obtain
ed to date have been very encour-
aging A total of 1861 work sheets
have been filed by members of the
association through the 10 COM
! munity committees elected by them
last spring. and something like
two-thirds of the cultivated land of
the county has been brought under
the program.
"A check of performance is now
in progress by 18 supervisors named
for this purpose at the last meeting
Of the county executive board of

LET US FIND OUT
HOW THEY DO 1T

California might be able to learn
some sort of lesson from Connecticut.
Connecticut has no need to worry
about appropriations for the payment
of debt Officials of that state are not
worrying about debt-they are worry
ing about what to do with money left
in their sinking fund after the entire
bonded debt of the state was paid off
last July l.
Connecticut redeemed about 1000.
600 in bonds this year-and finds itself
with 81 1884, ,472 left in the sinking fund.
Now the state legislature must decide
what to do with it. 1t is decision the
necessity for which would bring JOY to
the legislatures of many states, lnclud-
ing California.
In fairness to our own state, however,
it must be admitted that Connecticut
had a head start 1t had been state
a long time before California consider
ed statehood and as such had made
MANY improvements III years past which
are comparatively recent to California.
Our own Indebtedness is newer-lf that
is any consolation.

VALLEY CROP
PRICE UNDER
LAST SEASON

With increased acreage and in
creased shipments this year over
last, Imperial Valleys fall pea crop
is selling for considerably less this
year, according to market reports.
Growers are receiving from 81
2.25 in New York Ner hamper
and peas from other regions
which are larger podded, bringing
Approximately so cents more per
hamper.
Last year at the same time the
local peas were bringing over SO
per hamper in New York.
The market has held fairly steady
this fall at the same pricee in
dicating that the supply is plenti-
full. Imperial Valley is shipping
about half the peas on the market
and considerably less than the
amount shipped at this time last
year.
Total acreage for spring and fall
peas for the 1936-37 season is 13,945
as compared to 1854 for the pre-
vious season.
