his place in line beneath the notice

There were several other likely can

- The girl friend has very
definite future in golf, but it's
as an exhibition player and the
marvel Of gaping feminine galleries
and not as a tournament golfer in
competition among men. Mildred
Babe Didrikson is the longest
feminine hitter of golf ball the
world ever has seen and probably Will
see. but she should either stay out of
major golf tournaments or work on
her game and get it in a groove where
she can stay up there with the top
notcherS Of the scoring game.
The Babe is a marvel as a golfer
and a fine girl" says Tommy Armour,
the Scot from Chicago who had the
Babe under his teaching wing for a
month or so last summer But it
doesn't help her in her present stage
of development to play in tourna-
ments. She will be better. She is
keen for the game and she has all
the power anybody needs. She had
everything any golfer needed a month
ago but she doesn't quite have it now.

her and get her Strengthened out.
When she left Chicago she could play

A Race with Death

WASHINGTON-The dramatic story OF the

blamed for the death of at least rs persons IN
September and October is buried in Secretary
Wallace'S report to Con gress which recommends
legislation to make drug manufactures respoh-

lips as Food and Drug Administration agents.

or more states into which hundreaS OF snip

The first tip. was received here Oct IA. in

a New York drug concern. He had heard oil
deaths from some Sufanlamide preparation IN

A Food and Drug agent sent from Kansas

occurred in the Oklahoma city after the victims
had taken a product labeled Elixir Sulfanila

Inspectors went hopping to the manufac-
turer's home plant and TO the companys branches
at Kansas City, New York and San Francisco.
The commercial shipments, of from pint
TO gallon totaled 6S3. and there were 484 l.
ounce physicians samples and 1877 2-ounce sales
mems samples at large.
The company said :. had sent about 100 tele-
grams to statesmen customers druggists and doc
tors. asking dscontinuance of sale of the prepar-
alton and prompt returns.
Food and Drug inspectors demanded new
kilograms be sent using the word imperative

Large quantities began to come back to the

Records of everyone concerned were check

ined in four distributing houses and wholesale

in one establishment alone.
Although most physicians and druggists
operated in full, one South Carolina doctor in
sisted that although he had dispensed about
quart of the liquid to five patients none had
died.
An inspector found there were seven such

When Farmers Have
To Guard Their Crops

Imperial county is lucky that the new
trend in agricultural labor relations has
been nothing but an abortive wish in the
minds of radical organizers who have
expended fleeting efforts here at times
1t became actuality in the Santa Maria
and Oso Flaco valleys, and farmers there
are now employing armed guards to
stand by while the routine of farming
is carried on. Without these guards, the
farmers could not irrigate their crops,
spray their trees and fields, or do what
plowing is necessary for future plant
ing.
Striking Fruit and Vegetable Workers
Union and Filipino and Mexican Labor
ers Union members have attempted to
halt not only harvesting in these valleys
but every other manner of farming ac-
tivity Doubtless they would if they be-
lieved they could accomplish it, order
the farmers off their farms until union
demands have been met.
Perhaps there is some way by which
agricultural field workers could be
unionzed without harm to themselves
or to agriculture, but the way has not yet
been demonstrated in this part of the
country. 1t certainly has not been found
in the Santa Maria and Oso Flaco val
leys. The result there is a crippling
of agriculture, which naturally reduces
returns to the farmers and, just as nat
urally, lessons the amount of employ
ment he can offer and the wage he can
pay.
The perishable crops of agriculture,
as their name denotes, cannot be held
on the field, in the sheds or in the cars
diate their differences. If the perish
able crops are not moved, they are ruin
ed. So are the farmers and the laborers.
Agriculture will never be unionized
until the radical influence is removed,
and the representatives of the laborers
can sit down with the employees to work
out some just, equitable program with
out recourse to strikes and Violence
which, in the end, hurt both sides.

Farming, the Nation S
Biuuest Business

Farming has become a business, said
Alec Johnson, secretary of the Califor-
MIA Farm Bureau Federation, at the
annual meeting of the Imperial County
Farm Bureau in Brawley the other
highland a glance at the membership
of this county's farm bureau will bear
out his statement. Imperial county's
farmers are among its outstanding bus
mess men.
Farming, on the basis of federal CEN
sus figures. is the biggest business in
the United States There is more money
invested in farming than in all the cOun-
try's railroads, or its automobile indus
try. or its steel industry Yet the per
capita return to farm families is less
than $500 a year Luckily this national
average does not hold good in Imperial
county, but it demonstrates that the
rest of the nation might very well fol-
low the example set by our farmers in
putting agriculture on business basis.
A farmer must know more than how
to plant and grow crops if he is to be
successful. He must know market. con-
ditions all over the world. He should
know all political developments which
will be reflected in agriculture. He must
know the demand and regulate the sup
ply.
The farmer, of all people, must keep
abreast of the times if he is to make a
success of the business he is in. The
farm bureau is the best vehicle yet pro-
vided the farmer for keeping up with
the world.

If you sit back and look at the
autumn of 1897 through half-clos-
ed eyes. you are apt to get the
haunting and melancholy impress
sion that you have seen the whole
show before.
There was a busy summer, with
bumper crops and plenty of jobs;
there was a stock-market smash
up, with soothsayers OF high and
low degree fastening to announce
that falling security prices didn't
really mean anything; then came
a sharp business recession, layoffs
in the factories. demands for farm
relief at Washington, and solemn
promises from the government that
the decline would not be permitted
to become serious. F.. surely, you
saw all of that before, somewhere?
To be sure: in 1929. How 1t all
comes back to one! How familiar
1t all is--and how ominous the
parallel begins to look. when one
remembers what 1929 led up to.
So the country approaches the
end of the year IN a state OF anx-
ious expectancy, wondering wheth-
er the old business cycle is going
to have its way under new deal
as under old. Are we, after all,
helpless? Is there nothing we can
do but take 1t, decade after dec
ade?
AS of today there doesn't seem
to be much reason for optimism

little comforting to notice a quo
