Mentors from valley high schools
today gave their track and field
teams above average chances to

Coach Noval Walker of Holtville

distinct threats TO the hopes of El

but was not certain his team would
make first place in either class.
The Vikings will be tough this
year. however. as was evidenced
IN their showing against Yuma high

liz points behind the Criminals.
Coach Marvin Clark of Braw-

the SpartanS would trail the list

Supt. Experiment Station

How much will tnat crop pro-
ducc?" That is common question
among farmers. and one that is ask
ed me frequently regarding var
iuos crops on the experiment sta
ton. But the question came this
time Unexpectedly, and regarding
q crop that I had been forced to
view daily for many months. yet
had never attempted to appraisc.
The visitor who asked the ques-
ton How much will this crop pro-
duce?' was standing i'll front OF
the experiment station at Meloland
looking south across the right-of
ways of the railroad. telephone.
telegraph. and light and power
company lines. We could sec tn"
tops of the tall trucks as they pass
ed on the opposite side. We could
also see the telephone and electric
power wires and the upper portion
of the poles supporting them. But
there was no semb' ance OF a rail-
road or highway in sight, although
we knew both were only a short
! distance away
The reason Of this obStructed view
was the crop" I had been asked
to appraiSe-a crop of weeds of
long standing we'll mixed and we'll
established. My complete estimate
of this crop would not look good in
crint but my guest and 1 were thor
oughly agreed on the following
points regarding it:
That this crop is an eyeSore to
all who see it; that it creates an
unfaVorable and distasteful impress
sion in the minds of tourists, visi-
tors, and prospective settlers; that
the weed seed produced annually
on these rights s-of-way between Ell
Centro and Holtville are sufficient
to contaminate every acre of land
in the Imperial Valley, and that
many farms have been contaminat-
ed by them; that each square foot
covered by these weeds is capable
of producing 1000 hay fever sneez-
ss; that such unkept property breeds
contempt for the community in
which it exists: that such unsightly
-ondition is Incompatible with
tirst-rate agricultural community:
that the psychological effect is de-
pressing that such weed-screen
'ungles are, therefore. a detriment
o the community, and disgrace
70 the parties responsible for their
aXistance |-n..
The location and condition des-
cribed above does not stand out
lone. There are too many others
like 1t. But it does seem TO me that
the above true description of the
so-called Broadway of America"
calls for immediate corrective meas
ures. The present deplorabIe con.
dition is a pain in the neck TO
every progressive citizen in Imperial
Valley. Where there is no pride
there is no progress.
Consider for moment that thou
sands upon thousands of tourists
gain their first last and only i'm
preston of Imperial Valley by what
they see from the highways. You,

TREE-RIPENED
PEACHES NOW
NEAR MARKET

WASHINGTON NUP)-E. .. NAL
lison. fruit marketing specialist of
the Department of A-riculture,s
bureau of plant industry, has de-
veloped basket which he says
will bring tree-ripened fruit
step nearer big market centers.
"Tree-ripencd peaches - favored
by consumers because of superior
flavor-are step nearer the big
marketing centers because of mod
ifications in the shipping basket
which allows the fruit to be re-
frigerated more quickly" Mallison
said.
The basket Is Stated or spaced
for ventilation. The crown-shaped
lid, also Of open construction. al
lows air to pass through. Instead
of solid cushion between the lid
and the fruit, Madison devised a
ring type, ventilated pad with a
circular hold in the center. A SLOT
ted paper liner completes the ven-
tilated basket.
f0ohiooii onie d oclltS VI CeSCS he
conducted at Fort Valley, Ga.
showed that peaches packed in the
ventilated baskets with ring pads
cooled off three times faster than
those packed in the old style, un-
ventilated basket with standard
pad.
In the experiment a car of
peaches was loaded at an average
temperature of 83 degrees Fahren-
heit. Three different types of bas-
kets were used-tight, unventilated
with standard pad; ventilated with
standard pad. and ventilated with
the new ring pad.
Thermometers placed in fruit
near the center of baskets of each
type were checked Immediately af-
ter the car was cooled for two
hours and 10 minutes. Peaches in
the ti1ht, 't1ventiiated bejkats
cooled only to 72.4 degrees. In the
ventilated baskets with standard
pads the temperature dropped to
65.3 degrees and in the neW-type
ring pad baskets the temperature
dropped to 545 degrees.
Pre-cooling-now widely used in
the commercial peach orchards of
Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia
and Tennessee-is comparative
ly recent process by which fresh
fruits and vegetables are chilled
Immediately after loading into a
refrigerator car.
The new type basket favors more
rapid and better results from pre-
cooling, Madison said. Prior to
pre-cooling 1t was necessary to
harvest peaches while still hard.
so that they would remain firm in
transit. Some of the flavor was
sacrificed for appearance. Proper
packing, plus cooling, allows
peaches to be both attractive and
tasty, Madison said.

PARADE
BY Henry McLemore

NEW YORK, April 10. UP
Colonel Matt Winn, the man who
started with just another horse
race-the sixth at Churchill Downs
and engineered it into this coun-
try's foremost sporting classic
the Kentucky Derby-iS in our
town buying the boys and himself
a few Bourbons.
Along bout the fourth tall one
the talk always gets around to
the Derby and Colonel Matt who
hates to mix business with Bour-
bon, always manages to overcome
his reluctance to talk of the mat
ter and gives off a few ideas on
the 63rd running down Louisville
way on May 8.
The colonel says the 1887 renewal
will top them all, and he should
know because he's seen them all,
and that goes even for the in
augural in 1875 when the little red
hoSs, Aristides, came banging down
in front.
Colonel Matt believes than when
the field comes out on the track

low, the parade to the post will
be the largest in history. He visu-
alizes 25 starters, or three more

I think he's wrong there. My
guess is that there will be 26
horses on the track-Colonel Mats

Growers anticipated tn a t TN c

been excellent as a whole and the

TROJANS MAY
TRACK.
CHAMPIONSHIP

LOS ANGELES, April 10. Up)-
University OF Southern California's
track and field juggernaut, which
crushed Americas best last year,
may be toppled today by two
"cripples" and dozen steady but
hardly brilliant performers.
Riddled by drop-outs, graduation
and ineligibilitieS, the Trojans will
defend their Pacific Coast confer
ence championship against the
California Golden Bears. If Olym-
pic 400-meter champion Archie
Williams and the one-time SenSa-
tional sprinter, George Anderson,
are in form, the Bears may regis
ter their first track victory over
Troy in decade.
The stop watch boys laid down
their predictions with the guess
that the winning team would
not roll up more than five-point
margin. Dean Cromwell, dapper
little coach who seven times has
led U. S. c. to N. c. A. A. cham
pionshipS, picked California by a
69-62 count. The Trojan publicity
staff tabled it's own team, 66-65.
Compilation of estimates indicate
the dual meet reign of U. S. G. will
be ended, probably 67-64. Williams
and Anderson count heavily in this
tabulation.

BENEFITS OF
FERTILIZING
EXPOUNDED


TOO often alfalfa growers rent

the mistaken impression that they
will get none of the benefits of
that fertilization." said George l..

Proof of tho fallacy of their as
Sertion lies IN series of expert.
ments being conducted at the El-
mer Forester ranch where one
plot Of alfalfa was fertilized and
the other not.
On Dec. 20 the fertlliza ton took
place at the rate of t5 Spreader
loads of barnyard manure to the
Scre.
On March 81 cuttings were taken
and Oh the trial plot which had
been fertilized the yield was at
the rate of 1.68 tons per acre,
while on the unfertilized trial plot
the yield was only rs ton per acre,
the direct benefit being apparent
in three months time. In both
trial plots the alfalfa was three
years old.
Moreover, this type of fertilizer
has an additional advantage that
unlike commercial fertilizer the
benefits last over long period of
years, as much as 20 years.
Depending upon the cost of fer
tilizer, the cost of fertilizing would
be made up by the second or third
cuttings due to the great increase
in Weld.

lies in the fact that the mixture
