FARM TIPS
BY l.. G. GOAR

evening this week. Getting no re-
sponse to the door bell, and hear
ing voices in the back, I walked
down the drive to the back yard.
did more than that in those few
steps. I walked out of the desert
with its discomforts of heat and
insects into a tropical fairy-land
In that back yard, which is really
a botanical garden of considerable
merit l saw the uneXpected-to
many the notwithstanding out
in all its glory AS l emerged from
under the dense grape arbor heav-
lily laden with fruit, I found my
self in the tropics proper. Water
was spraying through the leaves
of numerous plants growing in that
marvellous rock garden, and I could
hear the patter, patter, of the ar
tificial rain as it fell on the broad
leaves of he banana plants. The
light was that of a tropical sun
set that studded every leaf with
rose-tinted silver Below were min
iature lakes bridged by trail that
led through the jungle to summer
sleeping quarters in the back
ground. The lighting effect on the
shrubs and trees was marvellous.
The effect through eye and ear be-
spoke rest to the body and peace
to the mind.
I was, of course, interested in the
number ana names OF the many
plants that went to make up. this
beautiful garden. There were too
many to be identified in a single
evening. However, japanese weep
ing tea-tree was the center OF at
traction. Bananas, and even such
common pants as the grape and
plum were in evidence. Umbrella
grass, ferns, and numerous shrubs
were in the scheme OF things.
Rocks, plants, water and lights
plus careful planning, and a desire
10 create things of beauty have
enabled this man Jack Archias to
accomplish thing which he and his
neighbors and his town and his
county can be justly proud.
The cost of this cool, reStful gar
den, has been very reasonable. and
it has been built during spare
time as a hobby. To be its de-
signer, builder, and owner must be,
indeed, gratifying.
Impossible? Hard work? EXpen-
sive? None of that" chuckled Mr..
Archias. ut has been a lot of fun,
and I enjoy it SO much | live right

How about your back yard? Is it
a thing of beauty, and a place where
you delight to invite your friends?
1t could be, if you are so inclined.
1t is up to you-just you.

Cant Shipments
Near 4O-Car Mark

Cantaloupe shipments were ex-
pected this weekend to near the
400 car mark and despite the heavy
shipments the market showed signs
of strengthening.
Cars shipped to eastern markets
are being sold readily and that IN
itself is an encouraging sign, said
growers.
The largest number of cars ship
ped on any one day was on June u
in 1922 when CAT cars went out
The next day GIT cars were shipped
In recent years the high ship
ment is $50 cars on June 20, 1881,
the highest point since 1924 when
the peak for that season was also
500 cars.

with regard to the future, those in
charge believing this type of farm
ing the most desirable. If it is
carried on a farmer is more apt
to live on his own land and the
evils of tenant farming do not re-
suit. Where the farm is put in one
crop tenant farmers with constant
change in operations result and
where this type of farming occurs,
when the whole farm is diverted
from soil conserving crops, the
ranch earns a full payment the
first year of diversion, but from
then on diversion payments will
be dropped. On the other type of
farm the payments may be had
year after year. and it is believed
that balanced farming will be en-
couraged by this means.
Where the division into soil de-
pleting and soil conserving crops is
not on a $3.50 basis, a similar in
crease, in proportion, can be made
in the soil depicting base.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-06-20

as that in 1886: the crops harvested
on each farm in 1896 will largely
determine the base. For example,
If ranch had 100 net acres all in
truck crops or grain in 1896, the
base for that farm would be estab-
liShed on these 100 acres. If in 1897
The 100 acres are diverted into soil
deserving crops, the entire 100
DcreS would form the base and
payments would be made on IS per
cent of this base acreage.
One modification remains, one
which follows the lines recon-
mended by the county association
for determining the bases in 1888.
If farm has SO acres in alfalfa
and so in soil depicting crops. it
will be permissible, if the local
committee sees fit, to give such a
farm 60 acre soil depicting base
and a 40 acre soil conserving base,
and to enable the farm to get pay
ment year after year as long as u
balanced program of farming is
continued.
This practice has been adopted

DRAMA OF HOSPITAL
REVIVED AT LITTLE
Jean Hersholt, Clark Gable and
Myrna 10y in Cast of
"Men in White"

PACK in the Spring Of 1884 the
Metro Goldwyn Mayer people
brought out a hospital picture which
put the rest Of the then current series
Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS cine
dramas considerably in the shade. The
film was titled Men in White" and If
you missed it a couple of years ago
when it tarried on F street for two
or three weeks you missed skillfully
fabricated and entertaining screen
drama. It's being revived this week
at the Little.
Men in White" the motion picture
version Of Sidney Kingsley's success
full Broadway play, differs, Of course,
from the ordinary photoplay with q
hospital background. 1t intelligently
steers clear Of anything which smacks
Of the overtheatric and its drama is
the drama Of something approaching
closely to real life as it flows through
hospital. Men in White" has an
authentic flavor. too, and it treats the
medical profession with integrity. In
the end the central character of the
piece does not marry the girl. but in
stead goes of to Vienna to study and
prepare for the chance to work with o
famed surgeon.
This realistic story, interviewer
with its humor, its drama and its
romance, has been performed by q
cast Of graceful and competent hlm
players. There's Jean Hersholt, for
instance, who practically filches all
the acting honors with his perform
ance As the famous surgeon who knew
the call OF medicine was greater than
any other call. There's Clark Gable,
too, who was started on to meatier
roles along about this time after prov
ing he could act in films like "Men in
White" There are others, too-Myrna
10y, Elizabeth Allan, Henry B. Wal
thall, Russell Hardie and more-whose
contributions are all to the good.

1t is a road company which plays
Dead End" but no one need bother
his little head about that. 1t would
be criminal to say that the thing is
aclor-proof, but it would be only
justice to say that the children and
adults who interpreted it last night
made it look that fiattering to the
playwright. 1t is difficult to conceive
that the New York company. its
juveniles especially, could possibly be
better.
ONE does not see many better per-
formances than that Of Donald
Sharpe as Tommy. Nature endowed
Tommy with most of the more decent
instincts, but they are horribly wasted
in that slum. A sense Of fair play,
a lively curiosity and a keen intelli-
gence are a few of the things that
life seeks to destroy in the boy played
by young Sharpe. He turns the con-
dict into a performance that many
far more experienced actor could
envy.
Then, for downright depravity just
before it bursts into full bloom, the
play gives you Edward Furman as

nails, "Spit" is vivid charac-
terization.

TINE joint recital which had been
announced as being given by
Jose Echaniz, Cuban pianist,
= and Emma Otero, soprano,
turned out to be full-length piano
recital by Mr.. Echaniz alone. The
concert took place in the large ball
room Of the Willard Hotel last eve
ming before good sized audience.
Miss Otero was prevented from COM
ing at the last moment, but Mr..
Echaniz's program amply filled the
usual concert period and the public
listened to it with evident relish. This
was Mr. Echaniz's second appearance

The young pianist has two out
standing characteristics in his play
ing. He has a brilliant and exceed
ingly facile technique and great tenn
permanent. The combination is bound
to carry his audiences away particu-
larly in numbers suitable to the dis
play of these qualities 1t is refresh
ing to feel the surge of inner fire and
the inexhaustible vitality notifying
every phrase. To this he adds a IA
cilty of both hands, the left un-
usually strong and plant, Of dazzling
resplendence which has conquered
every pianistic exigency. He has
power and delcacy equally at COM
mand, enhanced by solid musician
ship.
AS superlative as are these two out
standing elements Of his playing they
nonetheless limit him as to the effec-
tiveness of his Interpretation. He is
not a classic player for he has not
the requisite nuance nor the feel for
the careful delineation of line. While
technically proficient in every respect,
the suavity of Bach, Beethoven and
Haydn escapes him and his treat
ment of their compositions is too
strong and too glittering.
But in some of the more brilliant
Chopin or Liszt works, he is mastery
and electrifying. Here the extraor-
dinary lucidity of his passages work
comes to the fore and his driving
energy is given free play. Debussy's
"Clair de lune," De Falla's "Cubana"
and Albeniz's "Triana" were naturally
sympathetic to him and in them he
stressed the native color. A novelty
on the program was Prokofie1's S
"Toccata, op. II" composition Of
power if not great beauty, making
gigantic demands in the way OF We
locity and strength.
The artist was cordially received
and heartily encored during the pro-
gram and afterward.

II was erased, indeed, in the ap-
plause which greeted the revelation Of
the set upon which Dead End" Is
played: Norman Bel Geddes has
pinioned the full power of Kingsley's
writing in scene which rears a
ghastly slum ON the banks of a sewer.
But he has not stopped there for, by
the simple trick of implying archi-
tectural beauty just around the
corner, he sets the imagination to
work upon a contrast which makes
the visible ugliness uglier There is a
fascination about it that is rarely
achieved. even by Bel Geddes.
Life is a cruel thing as Kingsley
paints it in this dead end" located
in the back yard of opulence and
beauty. Literally it dunks children in
the contiguous sewer from which they
climb to hold their fights, learn to
steal blashpheme lie, cheat and take
