NEW FACTORY
ON FLAX FIBRE
TO OPEN SOON

Production at CalitorniaS first
flax fibre mill will begin within
the next 60 days at the new plant
situated at Third and Euclid streets
in FL Centre.
The corrugated iron mill and
the modern, air cooled office are
situated on a 80 acre site con-
nected with the Southern Pacific
tracks by spur track.
Four months ago the whole site
was in wheat Stubble. Today the
building is complete and the ma
chinery ready for assemblage. The
mill is l54 feet long, 40 feet wide
and % feet from floor to the peak
of the roof. Great sliding doors
make it possible to thow the whole
place open for ventilation in the
summer. The floor is composed OF
six inch concrete blocks. The office
is % feet long and IA feet wide. 1t
is separated from the mill and
fronts Third street.
Construction of the building be-
gan during the first week OF July
and was completed on the last day
OF that month.
Baled flax is purchased from the
Southwest Flax Growers association
in Imperial Valley and the fibre
extracted at the mill, baled, and
sent to the Champagne Paper COM
pany in New York.
The fibre is used to make paper,
said w. G. Duflock. company office
manager, and is not used in textile
manufacture. 1t is used in the max
ing of fine papers, Bible paper, the
best grades of writing paper, cigar
cite paper, and the finest of type
writer paper. The fibre runs from
the two machines to the balerS and
from the balerS in 125 to $50 pound
bales. 1t then is loaded from the
plant to freight cars for the jour-
ney to paper mills in the east.
This is the first time such
plant has been established in the
west, Duflock said, and the compa-
ny is pioneering in the field. Es-
tablishment of the mill here gives
the Imperial Valley grower of seed
flax an outlet for the straw. Other
wise the straw is a waste after the
seed is extracted and sold for max
ing linSeed and other products.
Such fibre mills have been operated
in humid sections of the country
and the company is interested in
ascertaining the effect of the dry
climate in the valley.
A total of 1900 tons of baled
flax stand near the mill waiting
for the machinery to be assembled
and production to start. Seven pad
locked boxes containing a total of
LOO feet of fire hose are distributed
among the stacks Watchmen make
the rounds of the stacks every
hour throughout the day and night.

in charge of operations, Duflock is

Virtually the entire SO foot store
frontage on Main street opens di-
rect into the market center. The
first display is taken up with
fruits and behind it is the fresh
vegetable counter cooled by a COM
bination air and Sprinkling device.
Air is sucked by fans from under
meath after sprays send a light
mist over the periShable vegetables.
Behind the vegetable counter are
row after row OF displays, showing
thousands of dollars in foodstuffs.
The butcher shop, moved forward
several feet to allow more room
for attendants, is surrounded by
a glass and silver showwindow, all
new, that offers views of the wares,
Meat is kept nearby in a new 9 by
10 foot refrigerator box capable OF
holding ONE SOLID TON of meat.
It's a nice place to look over the
main course in the raw-and also
a nice place to get a chill.
New Air Cooling
Another refrigerator box, 80 by
8 feet, houses perishableS. It is capa-
BILE of holding a mere ten tons of
food. And even that probably isn't
capacity, Sam Cox pointed out.
Both refrigerator boxes are cool
ed by a new air system that re-
places the old style with icy pipes
along the walls. The temperature is
kept at so degrees or less.
Merchandise on display in the
market area is less than a third
of the total stock Cox Bros. keeps
on hand. A warehouse in the back
of the store, which figured in the
remodeling, houses an average OF
$4,000 in foodstuffS. And that is
enough to feed the average family
for we mean, if laid end to
end it would oh. never mind,
just make it ham and eggs

Extra Expense Justified in
Case of Plumbing Fixtures

While the cost of plumbing fix
lures should correspond to the gen.
eral cost range of the house, it is
one Of the places where extras are
justifiable if there are to be any at
all. A built-in tub is almost a
necessity in any house, no matter
how low the cost of the house. AS
matter of fact, although there is
a difference in price between the
built-in tub and the old-fashioned
type on legs, it is doubtful if the
actual cost installed is much, if
any, greater. With the built-in
type, the wall finish back of the
tub and the floor finish under it
Imperial Valley press., 1937-10-03

are both omitted, and their cost
may we'll equal or exceed the addi-
tional cost of the tub But even
if it costs more, the saving in care
and trouble that a built-in tub
gives its worth a much greater
difference than exists between the
costs of the two fixtures.
The toilet may be a wash-down
type. which is the least expensive,
or it may be a syphon-jet type,
which is the most expensive. The
difference is almost entirely mat
ter of uuietness of operation. II
this means much, the difference in
expense will be justified.

GAME OUTLOOK GOOD

The Board of Game and Fish
Commissioners has placed the larg-
est order for rabbits in its history.
Leonard K. Yerger, president of
the board, said last week the COM
missioners have authorized the
purchase of 1900 rabbits for ship
ment January /, 1888. The rabbits
will be secured from Missouri and
all are of the hardy cottontail va
riety. The board is now awaiting
delivery of 100 raccoons which will
be liberated within the next two
weeks. They will be distributed
throughout the state under direc-
ton of Clarence S. Foster, chief
game warden. Surveys Of shooting
areas made by wardens and game
officials during the past few weeks
disclosed more game throughout
the state this fall than during the
past 10 or IL years Mr.. Yerger
said. Successful open seasons are
expected. The wild fowl season
starts November ] and the season
for cock pheasants, quail and rab-
bits November Is. During the fall
1,700 quail and similar number of
pheasants were liberated under di-
rection of the board. These birds
are from IL to IA weeks old and
will be mature by the time the sea-
son opens. An order has been
placed for 1 900 additional quail for
delivery in the spring. Examina-
tion Of the refugees established by
the board in cooperation with
farmers and other land owners
throughout the state revealed the
food strips set out on the refugees
are growing well. During recent
liberations birds went directly to
the food strips and subsequent Wis
its show most of them have re-
mained in the vicinity. Four addi-
tional deputy wardens have been
employed by the board for enforce
ment of laws during the hunting
season, to aid in guarding the re-
fuge areas and to assist in liberia
tion of game birds and animals.
Plans are being made by the board
to purchase and net 10000 fresh
water fish These will include large
mouth bass of from one to four
pounds in size; chappie bass to
range from seven in ches in length
or more; pike, 20 inches or more.
Contracts have been made for this
many fish to be freed in lakes and
ponds if they can be secured.

A case that has agitated the cit

year was finally decided before
Esquire Brown in Dover, last week.
Richard Colt and Matthew Hazel
own adjoining farms near Downs
Chapel. About year ago one of
HazePs sons took a shovel from
Colts wagon, claiming it as his
fathers property. Colt sued Hazel
for larceny; the case was appealed
and last spring the grand jury ig-
nored the bill Colt then got out a
writ of replevin, but it was never
served. Then he sued Hazel for
the recovery Of 'the value Of one
shovel" This was the case that
Squire Brown decided last week,
and it resulted in verdict for Colt
of 25 cents and costs. The costs
in this case alone amount to $12,
SO that Mr.. Hazel possesses about
the costliest shovel in Kent County.
