Sugar Beet
Harvesting
Starts Mon.

Harvesting of sugar beetS in I'M
perial county will be started Mon
day on at least one dozen ranches,
according to sugar beetS growers
in the El Centro area.
The valleys crop this season will
total more than 5000 acres, the
majority of which is distributed
among IA large growers. There are
that many more growers who have
small plots.
The outlook for a money-making
crop this season is bright, despite
damage by worms on the early
part of the spring. growers said.
Worm damage, poor selection of
land and poor selection of seed,
will cut the tonnage in some plots
but other fields will show yields
of as high as 25 tons per acre.
The Holly Sugar company and
the Los Alamitos concern will buy
most of the sugar beets in the
valley and will send the crop to
their factories in Santa Ana. The
sugar content of valley beets tests
high and as a result a bright flu
ture was forecast Tor the industry
in the valley
More conservative growers, how
ever, referred to the previous fail
ure of sugar beets to grow in the
valley. Sugar beet company Off
cials pointed out that great strides
have been taken in development of
seed and in development of dis
ease-resistant varieties.

W.A.SCHENIMAN Alfalfa Hay

Movement Of hay by truck from

news service.
Six Thousand seven hundred sew
enty-five tons of hay were shipped
during the past week as compared
to 6400 tons the previous week, the
report revealed.
Quotations held largely unchang-
ed and a steady tone generally pre-
vailed at the principal alfalfa mar
kets during the week.
Light offerings of the better
grades Of alfalfa continued in fairly
good demand at about unchanged
quotations at the Los Angeles mar
kets, but increased receipts OF lower
classes and mixed grain hay ship

general situation. Market supplies
were limited almost entirely to No
? and lower grades from the first
cutting
Prices held unchanged at Kansas
City but trading was OF extremely
light volume. Alfalfa markets in
the northwest remained inactive
while prices showed little change.
Harvesting of the first cutting in the
Salt River Valley was indicated as
practically completed and the crop
mostly sold to local livestock feed
ing interests. Little tonnage was
taken from storage purposes.
A steady mdertone generally pre-
vailed at the Los Angeles alfalfa
markets. Moderately heavier re-
ceipts were absorbed fairly readily
at somewhat firmer prices during
midweek, but a slightly easier situ-
alton was developing as the period
closed. Dairymen for the most part
were reluctant to follow recent
moderate advances and purchase
extensive tonnages Of hay for later
seasonal needs.

farmers, have been summarized by
the University of California after
series of 80 economic conferences
with more than 1900 agricultural
leaders. The conferences covered
80 counties. in which 78 per cent of
the farms Of the state are located
The conferences concerned them
selves chiefly with the things that
IRE troubling the farmers and what
should be done about them. The
usual platitudes regarding the states
rosy future were lacking. no matter
how much they might have been
justified, the whole endeavor being
given over to pressing economic

IyD
The county All club has been
active for 20 years. 1t was first
established in 1918.
In a sense, the programs of the
All club has been satisfactory but
because the organization has lack
ed permanency and because the
club has had to be reorganized
each year, the program has not
been the outstanding success that
local leaders would like to promote.
AS a result, Lee Landerman,
county All director, has mapped
a 15-point goal that will be carried
out by the All club during the
next year
Landerman pointed out that the
tenure of membership in the All
has been alarmingly below the de-
sired average and below the aver
age set in many other sections of
the state and nation.
Continuity OF enrolment falls
off as club members enter high
school, usually after the members
have completed three or four prof
ect years with the club.
This situation. Landerman eX-
planned. deprives the club of its
best trained and experienced mem
bers, who find their way into more
appealing ard satisfying endeavors.
than the club work with which they
are already familiar.
The club has in the past, lost
members because the present pro-
gram falls short of their needs.
Until this year there has not been
sufficient active members to or
ganize a senior All club program.
In order to avert continuance of
the present problem, Landerman
hopes to put the following program
of Is points into action.
Cd Maintain so volunteer club
leaders in charge of the Is COM
munity clubs.
90 Secure at least 80 per cent
compilations of all projects begun.
go Secure 200 agricultural and
200 home demonstration projects
in county.

meetings.

ty fair.

ment at Davis.

ton conferences.

Significant in light of this at
tempt by the National Labor Rela-
tions Board to greatly extend its
powers is the fact that the Califor-
MIA State Federation of Labor has
recently lodged charges in Wash

flee of the NLRB has shown a dis
position to encourage communiStic
and radical leaders and has been
guilty of gross faVoritism in sup
porting the CIO in California.
California farmers have had
enough of outside interference in
their business: they have had to
cope with sufficient arrogance on
the part of poWerdrunk labor lead
erS, without giving those leaders a
government whip to enforce their
demands. And farmers who value
their right to operate their own

The door opened and Pierre came into the

look toward the couch. He threw bundle of
books upon his desk and muttered to himself
in a tired way: What rotten day. Then
he came to her and seated himself on the
couch beside her.
"Oh, my lovely one" he murmured as he
stroked her throat and she kissed the fingers
that caressed her. "You are so always beauti-

She had realized that the interview with
the General would be difficult, terribly diff
cult Even now tremor ran though her
body as she remembered those long minutes
while she and Pierre waited for the General
to come to the Hotel Metropole. In those
minutes she had made the decision which
completely changed the course of her life
She had sat and moved not muscle when
the General was announced into Perre's
rooms The General was very polite but
reserved, completely the master of himself
and the moment He and Pierre went into the
sitting room and talked for long time, in
low, modulated tones. At times Pierre's voice
seemed to be pleading, but the Generals was
firm and seemed to deny what Pierre was
asking Finally the General returned, bowed
curtly in his military fashion to Pierre, went
to the door, opened it and turned to the
Comtesse Freya. "Comtesse Freya," he said.
1t was an invitation, but the words were
spoken as a command. Freya even now
trembled at the memory of her abrupt in
dependence The General her guardian, had
dominated her from her earliest days, but not
even he could bring her to leave Pierre.
There had been words, stormy words, words
of outright command, but she had kept her
courage and her determination. No word of

which was brimming over with love.
She was sorry for him. She could see that
he was hurt and chagrined, that his pride
and his affection we're touched to the quick.

AMERICAN LEGION WEEK

Today, November 4 marks the opening of what this year has been designated American Legion Week concluding with the Armistice Day ceremonies November II. There two thoughts back of the weeks observance this year The occasion marks the twentieth anniversary of the Legion of the most potent peace-advocating organizations of all history and marks also the twentieth anniversary of peace for America since the world conflict
 In 11470 communities of the nation American Legion posts and their Auxiliary Units will be taking the lead in the universal observance They will be stressing the Legion's humanitarian program which through the years has become a rich contri- button toward the betterment of community state and nation They, and, it is hoped, all Americans will join in emphasizing enduring peace.
 Here in Juneau the local post has arranged for series of programs the air and in the schools speakers will stress to the rising Americans the fun damentas of democracy and aims toward con- tlnued peace.
 Not since the war has there been such an appro- priate occasion for celebrating peace and building flor it's continuance as this the twentieth anniver- sary. At least two now in progress, one in the Orient one in Spain. Europe has been flirting with open warfare for months and though the tension is now somewhat abated the danger is virtually as potent ever.
 In advocating and working for peace the Legion stands for adequate preparedness Its members know from experience that peace is elusive thing and can only be maintained by strength; national defense which will withstand any outside effort to disrupt peace and overthrow form of government. II is broad principle in which every true American should be able to heartily join only during this week but during every week of the year.
 passage from the proclamation of Gov. John w Troy setting aside the Legion week is timely:
 T trust that all the people will join with The American Legion in the observance of the twentieth anniversary of the Armstice in such other acti yities shall be carried out Through The Amercan Legion, Veterans of the World War where every they may be, have come to accept The American Legion as the finest peacetime expression of their hopes for the Nations continued greatness and they have ed their efforts to the principle of continued peace led by their complete cooperation in the twin celebra tion of the twentieth anniversary of the Armstice and beginning of twenty years of The American Legion history"
