THERE IS STILL
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT

Imperial Valley is generally consider
ed one of the greatest agricultural areas
in the world In fact, the thought may
have become too firmly established in
Imperial Valley itself for the valleys
own good.
There are 1854 farm owners operating
in the valley at the present time. Many
of them conduct large-scale operations
that would astonish the farmers of an
other region There crops grow rapid
ly, and their profits are large-when
thoce are profits. When there are not,
the losses are correspondingly large.
Agriculture is still something of a gam
bic in the valley.
The point is this: Although only about
1854 farm owners are operating here at
the present time, we could have $4,000
forty-acre farms. There is land enough
for that many.
The desirability of 4O-acre farms, and
the profits to be derived from them,
has never been fully tried out in the val
ley. In isolated instances, small farms
have had success, and in others they
have failed. No one knows definitely
what the reasons were Perhaps it is
not economically sound to plan for
smaller units, more intensively culti-
waited, in the valley. Only by knowing
J0e 1dCJS VIII luc Ndllcy hIloN CiC ar
swer.
The Resettlement Administration,
through it's land utilization division, is
conducting a survey at the present time
which may throw light on the desirabili-
ty of small farms against large ones, by
uncovering facts of operation and ten
ancy, as we'll as land use Such survey
will be of immeasurable help.
Perhaps even more important, how
ever, is the matter of markets and COM
munication with markets. The valley has
thrived as a large-scale farming terri
tory because, for one thing, shipping
facilities have been geared to large-scale
production. Smaller farms, more in
tensively cultivated, would call for other
railroad facilities as we'll as other farm
ing methods.
Nothing, perhaps, would so help
small-farm experiment here as the estab-
lishment Of a main line railroad through
the valley, in the place of feeder line
operating on a schedule mapped out ac-
cording to large-scale agricultural pro-
duction.
What the trend will be remains TO be
seen. but it is certain that there is room
for improvement in the agricultural
set-up here.

THE COUNTRY, TOO,
NEEDS REAUTIFICATION

Much has been said, and quite little
has been done about improving the scenic
aspects of the cities and towns of lmpe-
rial Valley. Garden and flower shows,
Spring festivals, tree planting campaigns
all have helped to make city residents
conscious that beauty is necessary ad-
iunct of progress in the population CEN
ters. The rural areas have been too long
neglected.
l.. G. Goar of the Meloland Expert
ment Station recently sounded a COM
plant that might well be taken up by
the farm bureau and by every farmer in
the valley. His protest was directed par
ticularly against unsightly, thriving
rows of head-high weeds lining the hlgh-
way between FL Centro and Holtvllle,
obscuring the view of motorists ana ND
ing the farm-lands on the other side. he
might have carried it farther.

BRINGING
ALL THE NEWS
TO IMPERIAL
VALLEY
IF YOU WANT LIBERTY,
DEFEAT THIS RILL

When the farmer in Imperial Valley or
elsewhere, cannot refuse to hire this
man or that, regardless of his reason,
and when he cannot discharge an en-
ploye who is actively urging his other
employees to quit work, then the free
dom of the American farmer will be
nothing but a very dim memory.
If Assembly Bill 53S is passed by the
California legislature, as pressure groups
are urging, these things will be facts,
not threats.
The bill would make it penitentiary
offense for any farmer to:
Keep under surveillance, either direct
~ or indirectly, any of his employees.
Fire Communist or other radical
agitator who tries to induce his en-
ployes to strike.
Refuse to bargain collectively with
his employees.
Discharge or discriminate against any
emplOye because the employe tried to
send him to Jail, (even if the charges
brought by the employe were trumped
up and groundless.)
Imperial Valley can afford to be
alarmed at the danger contained in this
bill. Reliable information reports the
conveyance here in the immediate fu-
ture of labor organizers bent upon orga-
niZing a farm labor union. Past expert
ence teaches that this means but one
thing-a costly strike, armed violence
and great loss to the community. Pass
age of the bill by the legislature would
materially encourage the agitators.
Of all the bills before the legislature,
Assembly Bill 539 represents the most
radical swing to the left. 1t is by no
means in keeping even with the increas-
ing trend of national legislation to a
sane middle course. BY all means, it
should be defeated.

With the approaching construction Of Ken

NEW YORK, April 21-The No

the night clubs and cafes are be-
coming the most luxuriously out
fitted hooks in the nocturnal
spread. Proprietors have found that
ladies, who largely guide the even

the mirrors and lights are flatter-
ing.
So it is good business to lavish
the decorators art as bait. Much
of the success of mo. 81 is re-
putedly due to the splendor Of the
ladies' room. Other successful res
taurantS. such as The Colony, El
Morocco and Stork Club are SIM
ilarly appealing. to women.
The most desirable jobs for COL
ored maids in Harlem are as Pow

downtown oases. It gives them,
next to a place in the Cotton Club

of all, although the pay is COM
paratively small.
The receptionist in most instanc-
es receives a salary only of her tips,
and the fine-feathered femmes who
frequent the night clubs and cafes
are either stingy or careless about
tipping. The most lucrative Powder
Room post, indeed. is in the med
priced places.

There are faint indications too,
that the most gigantic of the sky
scraper .flops-the Empire State
building-may survive its failure
and fulfill the hopes of builders.
After all, Radio City turned the
trick. The Empire State not only
opened in the zero of a depression.
but at a time when the district in
which it was built underwent sud-
den change. Only the entrance fees
to the tower-Which have steadily
averaged 1000 a day-saved the
promoters from locking the doors
and throwing away the keys. Every
thing that could be done to get it
going was tried, but it remained
largely tenantless. In the past year,
however, there has been a gradual
diminishing of empty space, and if
the present pace continues optim-
lists hope to see it out of the red by
1945. Also Al Smith, his brown derby
and fat cigar in the lobby around
noon daily have had their part in
keeping the Empire State in the
spotlight
