PAYMENTS on Time

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20.-A net
gain in membership of $500 acres
during the year ended May 81 was
reported to the board of directors
of the California Fruit Growers
Exchange today by F. F.. Heyden-
feldt, manager of the growers SER
vice department.
Gains included two associations
and many Individual growers pre-
viously marketing outside the ex-
change, as well as young acreage.
During periods of low prices, when
a few cents per box is big factor,
growers become more conscious of
the better total net returns the
exchange is able to make" Hey
denfeldt said.
Although actual percentages of
shipments of each variety market
ed through the exchange are not
known until the end of the fiscal
year, October 81, percentages to
date are well in line with last

FORECAST SHORT
INACTIVE SEASON

Home construction, which con.
tinued at an unprecedented pace
through the summer, hit an ex-
pected slump during the past week
building supply house and contrac-
tors reported Saturday.
An increase in the sale of repair
material and paint was noted how
ever, indicating that the summer
is nearly over.
The Builders Supply, busiest ma
terial supply house in the city,
reported progress on four jobs and
Gavin Lumber company reported
advance on its two constructions
Both predicted several new jobs
within the next two weeks.
Aubrey A. Moody, builder, also
reported progress on construction of
three jobs. He expected to start
two new homes within the next two
or three weeks.
The expected August slump will
be the shortest slack season in the
history of building in Imperial VAL
ley most materialmen predicted,
and the fall months will witness
the building of a record number of
new homes if the interest continues
to hold sway.

SOME FARMERS CURSE BERMUDA
But san III Grass That Grows No Good
AND OTHERS REAP THE PROFITS

Most farmers curse the luck
when their alfalfa fields turn to
bermuda grass after a few years
of cultivation, but not Leo Tur-
ner.
In fact, Turner is looking for
more fields in the valley that have
turned to bermuda grass. He al
ready has TOO acres of the grass
and is making comfortable prof
it harvesting the grass.
Seed from the bermuda grass is
shipped to all parts of the world,
according to Turner, and the stalks
are ground up and sold for feed.
Most of the feed, Turner said, is
sold in Mexico.
More than 10000 pounds of seed
was shipped to Kansas last year
and orders have been received
from several states in the United
from Buenos Aires, Budapest and
Australia.
Turner estimated tnat he s.hip-
ped between Is and 25 cars of seed
each year. He shipped more than
250,000 pounds last year, year
which yielded a slightly smaller
| crop than usual.
Turner explained that Bermuda
grass has proved to be a valuable
crop in Imperial Valley. 1t utilizes
land that is not good for anything
else and it is listed as a soil MAIN
tanning crop by the national agri-
culture department.
Turner averages two cuttings
each season on his TOO acres. Cut
ting starts in May and lasts until
February.
The land is used for pasture in
all but one month during the time
the crop is not being harvested
Turner said.
AS a result land in Bermuda
grass nets an income throughout
the entire year.
1t must be good crop for Tur-
ner is searching the valley from

California
Leads in
Farm Labor

California, more than any other
Ate, has pioneered the develop
ment and use of farm machinery.
1t has the most highly mechan-
ized farming system In the world.
Yet California agriculture en-
ploys more hand labor-and pays
much greater share of its total
income for labor-than any other
state in the nation.
That seeming paradox-explain-
ed, in part, by large-scale produc-
ton of fruits and vegetables-was
spotlighted recently at the annual
national conference of the Ameri-
can Society of Agricultural Engin-
eers, held at Asilomar.
And out of the discussion came
challenging array of data which
should be studied and analyzed by
some OF the urban gentlemen who
sit in city office sand write impas-
stoned articles on what Corpora
ton farming" has done to farm
labor.

IRRIGATED AREAS
PnESENT COMPLEX
ALKALI PROBLEM

What to do about "alkali" has
been the greatest puzzle for farm
ers in many western irrigated areas.
History record only two large areas
which have been under irrigation
a long time and are still flouriShing
the Nile and the Yangtze basins.
And here a periodic overflow adds
new soil to the area.
What happens is fairly clear.
When salty Water-even a very
dilute solution-soaks into the soil
in irrigation it carries some salt
with it. When the water evapor-
ates or is absorbed by crops it
leaves the salt in the soil. In this
way fields-like the Great Salt
Lake-groW saltier year by year.
The new United States depart
ment of agriculture regional salin-
ity laboratory at Riverside, Calf,
will investigate this and related
questions. Experiment stations of
II western states and Hawaii, to-
gether with two bureaus of the de-
partment of agriculture, are CO.
operating in the research and in
planning the program.
Parts of the puzzle still obscure
are: The effect of salts on plant
growth, the injurious effect of diff
ferent salt constituents, the effect
of drainage water on lands farther
down the valley, and which crops
will be hurt least by alkali.
The progress of salt accumula-
ton is often slow. Changes from
season to season may not be OBJ
served by farmers until productive
ty has been seriously impaired, be-
cause the evident effects of salt
injury may be much the same as
the effects of adverse climate, wa
ter shortage, declining fertility, or
inferior seed.

Agencies Seek Aid
For Sugar Beet Industry
ASK CHANGES IN
RULINGS FOR
APPLIANCE HERE

Imperial Valley agencies, includ-
ing the Ell Centro chamber of COM
merce, this week brought to the
attention of the California Conser-
vation committee that certain phas-
es of the national sugar act do
not apply to conditions in the
county.
The move, started to effect
changes in the rulings, sought to
secure credit allowance for fer
tilizer applied at the time of plant
ing sugar beets in the fall, even
though the beets may not be har-
vested until spring.
Existing rulings of the depart
ment provide that credit be given
for fertilizer applied to sugar beets
during the calendar year. This me-
thod of credit works to perfection
in other parts of the country where
sugar beets are planted in the
spring and harvested in the fall
all in one calendar year. But due
to the peculiar climatic conditions
existing in Imperial Valley, sugar
beetS are proven to do best when
planted in the early fall and har-
vested in April or May. The fertil-
izer for sugar beet growing is ap-
piled at the time of planting to give
the young beet plants a start OF
kick off,, it was stated at cham
ber of commerce headquarters.
Unless provision can be made for
credit for fertilizer applied in the
fall, thus straddling two calendar
years, Imperial Valley sugar beet
growers will be deprived of the
benefits intended for them under
the sugar act.
The Imperial Valley sugar beet
growers association, organized last
week gave heed to this matter and
in support of their contention that
credit should be given for fertilizer
applied to any beet crop, irreSpec-
tive of the month of planting or
harvest, the chamber of commerce
directors, through President An
derson, have urged that a change
be made in the secretary's interpre-
tation of the law and that Imperial
Valley sugar beet growers do re-
ceive the credit for application of
fertilizer accorded other sugar beet
growers in other planting areas
of the country.

War Wased
Against Hoppers

Alfalfa farmers, the state de-

Imperial county agriculture COM
missioner, B. A. Harrigan, contin-
ued their war against grasshoppers
during the month of August.
-Four and one half tons of poison
was distributed during the first
three weeks of August raising the
total distributed to nearly AZ tons.
The grasshopper infestation
would have proved costly to farm
ers without the poison bait, ac-
