TAXES, WEEDS AND
FARM PROPERTY

The weed problem is one Of the great
est economic problems we have confront
ing us in this section today. and should
be recognized as such Considering the
reduction in crop yields and the added
cost of production caused by weeds the
annual loss to the valley in dollars and
cents would be a tremendous sum. Com
pared to it, our tax burden would fade
into insignificance.' .
The quotation is taken from the weekly
article written for this paper by l. q.
Goar, chief at the Imperial Valley EX-
perimental Station. His words deserve
more than passing notice.
Chambers of commerce and other civic
groups in the valley have gone on for
years, planting trees along the highways,
fighting for new roads and for improve
ment of old roads, enticing new settlers
to the valley, encouraging the invest
ment of capital here, stressing beautifi-
cation of residential areas Yet, through
it all, we have overlooked one thing
which is matter both of Identification
and profit. 1t remained for Mr.. Boar
to bring it to our attention.
Outside of whole construction of new
farm houses, perhaps there is no SIM
gle project which would serve as well To
beautify the rural sections of Imperial
Valley as eradication of weeds along the
highways and ditch banks. Where they
often grow far higher than a tall mans
head. But there is yet another reason
why the weeds should be done away with.
Their elimination would eliminate, al
so. a great financial burden on the farm
ers of Imperial Valley It would serve
to check spread of the weeds into the
agricultural fields. 1t would remove
burdensome expense of control. Its value
could be measured in profits to the farm
er-and so to everyone in Imperial Val
ley.
Continued neglect of the need for
elimination of Imperial Valleys long
lines of roadside and ditchbank weeds
will be a mistake the valley cannot af
ford to make The Imperial County
Farm Bureau, chambers of commerce
and other civic organizations should
take up the job of ridding the county Of
these nuisances.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-11

Just as if the future wasn't un-
certain and perplexing enough al
ready. Fortune magazine now comes
out with an article predicting the
return of the male beard.
A BARRIERS journal, says Fortune,
not only forsees such a return but
advocates it. More significantly
Columbia University's eminent fore
caster, Paul Nystrom, is quoted as
follows:
American men will blossom out
in clouds of boards in a decade or
two. Mems mass tastes changes
more slowly than WbmenS, but
they change, nevertheless. A new
bearded age is ON the way. Your
sons will be wearing heavy boards" "
In the face of such expert advice,
the average male can do nothing
but stroke his chin reflectively,
gaze on the doWny cheeks Of his
small son, and reflect that event.
ually those blooming cheeks will
be hidden behind a glossy tangle
of shrubbery in the style of a Civil
War general.
But when you stop and consider
the matter prayerfully, there seems
to be no good reason why renais-
sance of boards should not take
place. And if that in turn, leads
men to regain a little of their old
pride in personal adornment, we
are going to have a more colorful
and exciting world,
+ 4
There was a time when men were
every bit as persnickety about their
looks as women, II not more SO. An
EngliShman of EliZabeth'S day, for
instance, was as vain about having
his beard frizZed and perfumed,
and as careful about his great
starched ruff and the lace fringes
as great granddaughter is about her
to his sleeves, as his great-great-
new born permanent. With it all,
he was nobody's panSy, either; the
men who followed Drake around
the world, sought the northwest
passage with Frobisher, and won
the empire of India may have been
peacocks, but they had hair on
their chests.
But somehow, in this modern
world, all this has gone by the
boards. For several generations now
it has been mans lot to look as drab
and as uninspiring as the tailor
can make him. His garb is dull and
somber: his evening attire is posi-
lively funeral; and if he had briei

WATERMELON
ACREAGE IN
VALLEY RISES


California's watermelon acreage
is estimated at 1890, an increase
of l400, according to totals an
nounced by the Feieral-State crop
, reporting service.
Imperial Valleys acreage will be
slightly larger, said B. A. Harrigan,
agricultural commissioner, who es-
timated that shipments will start
early in June.
Imperial county is the first re-
gion in the state to ship and after
that Watermelons from Kern and
Tulare counties will go out, about
July |. Two weeks later melons
from San Joaquin, Merced and
Stanislaus are to be shipped, the
