CROPS BUSTED
BY AIRPLANES
IN VALLEY AREA

busting of peas. carrots and let
tuce by air, particularly in the
north end of the valley, is being
conducted by four busting com
panies, ana their progress in COM
pleting the work that will insure
better crops is unprecedented. ac-
cording to agriculture office Off
cials.
The busting. which is being done
by airplanes for the most part, Is
concentrated en- the pea crops in
the Calipatria area to stamp out
the semi-looper cutworm which
has cut down tns yield in the pea
crops in past years.
Lettuce and carrots come in for
their part of the busting but these
crops are not troubled with the
worm nearly so much as is the pea
crop.
Arsenic poisoning. which has been
used in past seasons, is being used
on only limited number of fields
as the agriculture department in
the valley has prohibited the use
of the arsenic poison spray from
planes where the poison might drift
to adjacent field in which cows
are pastured.
Many head. OF cattle and other
livestock have been killed by care
less use of arsenic poison, according
to Art Sinclair. statistician in the
county agricultural commissioners
office.
busting by plane has been re-
stricted to the early morning hours
and late evening as tests have re-
vealed that there is a minimum
velocity Of wind at these hours.

But no company will handle the
product in the east or in the mid
west because the demand could
not be satisfied.
The first step in the production
OF the fruit is begun in March when
the trees are pollinized. Harris pol
llnlzes all of his trees, twenty acres
OF them, by hand. He uses a long
bamboo stick and an atomizer to
blow the pollen onto the blossoms of
the female trees.
The trees began to bear fruit in
the latter part of August and con-
tlnue to bear until the latter part
OF October or early part of Novem-
Der.
Fumigated First
When the fruit is picked it is
first fumigated, then set in the
shade to dry out. When the fruit
has thoroughly dried it is cleaned
and graded and again set in trays
to dry.
When the fruit is again dry it is
put through a series of fumiga-
tions, another grading process and
then packed to sell.
By fumigating the fruit several
times and by careful cleaningx and
crying the dates will keep indefinite
ly without spelling or without be-
ing destroyed by insects.
The date palm will grow in any
mild climate, according to Harris,
but requires certain number of
heat units before it will bear fruit.
The date palm is the oldest known
farm product, dating back to hun
dreds of years before Christ.
The trees reach their prime after
eighty years but it is not known
how long they will produce, for any
date palm. that mas been taken
care of over a period of years has
never failed to produce. Some trees
In Persia are believed to be more
than thousand years old.

thetical India rope trick" which
has baffled the worlds best magi-
clans. today was produced" for
the first time in miniature in an
empty apple box, with dime

master mind" who spends his spare
time debunking other peoples
ghosts, offered the trick as a chal-
lenge to British scientists who have
offered to reproduce the Hindu trick
for $275. 900.
1T took me six months to figure
it out" Dunninger said "and I'll
admit it's a trick But it's an exact
duplicate Of the India rope trick
except that it's done indoors, with
a doll instead of a Hindu
with another forty bucks worth
of material e1d a live Hindu,

JAPAN WATCHES
 PATRIOTIC UNIT
New Political Party Or ganized By Col. Kin-
 gOro HashimOtO

Tokyo, (UP)-Eyes of politicians today are on Col. Kingoro Hashi- moto, retired, who has just formed a new political party of young men filled with patriotic ardor.
 Watch us," Hashimoto said in his first newspaper interview after the organization.
 Not only the politicians ut the public as well is needing the re- quest.
 Some havo characteriz ed Has, himoto as r -ical, others as fascist. Hashimoto declares he Is neither.
 frees Moral Side
 The rev political figure has been Japan's military atache in Turkey and the Soviet Union and has com- manded one of the empires crack heavy artillery units in Manchukuo.
 Now he has retured from the army and launched movement designed to disseminate the irn- perial achievement and to build a new moral atmosphere" according to those w:lo have studied his plans. Purposes Not Clear Tine public is not ct certain as to the political results that Has, himoto seeks. He is not opposed to parliamentary politics. He does not say whether his youthful party will seek seats in the diet at the next general election.
 His own statement as to party aims:
 T am no mere retired soldier. I am not going to do my work as an ex-soldier. I retired from the Ser- vice because I had work to do which required that I start afresh It would be a great mistake if my work is to be considered as 8 side- job of an army ex-serviceman. Look at the colors of the great Japan youth party' white sun on red back ground. This symbolizes blood-red patriotism under a white hot sun, unbounded loyalty to the emperor. Just watch us. TaShimoto is not one to sit still and just talk"
 Neither the names nor the num- ber of founding members have been announced to date.

Brain TwizzIers By Prot ]. D. Flint

Today we have an old legend about Archilles and the turtle. You may have heard it before but did you reason 1t out?
 Tho story deals with the classic race between fieet-footed Achilles, the world sprint champion of his time, and Drag, the sticky-footed turtle. A race was proposed to see how long 1t would take Achilles to pass the turtle if the turtle had 8 hundred yard head start. Achilles could travel ten times as fast as Drag 50 while Drag was travelling ten yards Achilles travelled one hundred yards. The next step follows that Achilles travelled one yard and Drag travelled one-tenth of a yard. still 8 little ahead of Achilles. Well. 1t looks like with those proceedings Achilles could never actually catch the turtle al- though the distance between them s.ould soon be don to a very fine point. Where is the mistake in the reasoning?
