Ex-Governor Trying for
Comeback Against
Two Opponents
BY MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press Staff Correspondent

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. q. (UP)
Eugene Talmadge, the wild man
from Sugar Greek, may not win
the current race for the U. S.
senate in Georgia, but he is draw
ing the best stump crowds of any
of the four candidates.
Gene, always a colorful cam
paigner, is running for the senate
against incumbent Senator Wal
ter F. George, Lawrence S. Camp
and William G. McRae.
Although much interest has
been turned on the fight between
George and the pro-New Deal
Camp since President Roosevelt
endorsed Camp at GAINESVILLE,
Ca, Talmadge has been stumping
before large crowds in the Geor-
gia rural sections which control
any state election under the coun-
ty unit system of primary cleo
tions.
Talmadge ran for the senate
two years ago against Senator
Richard B. Russell, Jr., but car
ried only 16 of 159 counties. In
the two years that followed, Tai
madge has been building up an
other senatorial campaign.
For two years, Talmadge has
been crying out against the New
Deal in his weekly political pa
per, The Statesman. When circu-
lation of the Statesman dropped
after the 1886 election, Talmadge
boosted it again by giving away
pocket knives to every new SUBJ

scriber. He also made speeches at
every opportunity. From Gravel
Springs to Sawdust, Ga, Tai
madge preached the doctrines that
kept him in public offices as gov
ernor and state agriculture COM
missioner before his defeat at the
hands of Russell.
Now, Gene is in the woods
again, telling the "wool hat boys"
how he'll take federal relief bill
lions and buy new land for i'm
poverished farmers and increase
the scope of the Civilian Conser-
walton corps if they'll send him to
the senate.
The Talmadge technique is the
same as it was two years ago. He
snaps his red suspenders and
bowls against the high costs of
government. Campaigning with
him this time is his young son,
Herman. Herman is carbon copy
Of his father, even to the lock of
long black hair swishing in his
face.
Talmadge has made great sport
of the presidents speech at Bar
nesville in which the chief execu-
tive recommended the defeat of
George and the election Of Camp.
Most any afternoon now, Gene
will yell at campaign crowd:
"Lemme tell va about Walter
George"
The crowd will whoop "Tell US
about it, Gene"
And then Gene will answer:
"You know why George is so
mad at the presidential tell you
why-he asked the president not
come to Georgia and discuss his
record-and the president came
here and told 'em about Walter
George"
Talmadge will whip off his red

Dates Destined
For Deuciopnent

Wat2rnIl ale reliable crop
all usually bring a good price be-
cause it is possible TO produce the
melons early.
Fruit and nut crops which can
be grown here are: almonds. dates
figs. grapefruit, grapes, lemons,
oranges. pears, pecans, pomegran-
ates, Strawberries, tangerines.
Dates are ideally adapted to I'M
perial valley weather, and soil.
Potentially the valley is the great
est date producing area in the
United States and the industry will
develop as soon as additional plant
ings are made available.
Grapefruit is the most important
fruit crop grown III the valley. 1t
produces abuniantly and produces
coed quality fruit.
Inc future Of Imperial Valley in
agriculture is unlimited Adequate
water supply, insured by Boulder
dam and the All American canal,
has given it the stability needed to
attract more residents.

grown for the first time in 1917,
has become an increasingly i'm
portant crop in the valley. Market
ing problems in both cantaloupeS
and lettuce have been ironed out
in the past few years.
Orchards of grapefruit, the only
tree crop of Importance in the
valley, occupies nearly 5000 acres.
Mere than tw0-thirds of the acre
age is in bearing trees.
Table grapes have been grown in
Imperial Valley for several years
but the acreage is not great.
No other crop in the valley has
experienced more ups and downs
than cotton. Cotton was grown in
the county for the first time in
1913, ami large yields on Wcll-suited
sells, with profitable prices, caused
a rapid expansion in acreage
But in 1920, when a great number
of farmers planted more than 100,-
coo acres, the returns fell far below
the cost of production. Since that
disastrous season, i'll which many
valley farmers were ruined, the
acreage in cotton has fluctuated a
great deal from year to year.
Nearly 1000 acres were planted
Imperial Valley press., 1938-03-03

lettuce, melons. mustard, okra,
parsley, parsnipS, peas. peppers,
pumpkins, radishes. spinach, sweet
potatoes. tomatoes. turnips, water
melons.
Asparagus IN tho valley has prov
ed one of the most dependable of
truck crops. There have been
few crop failures but almost cvcyy
one can be traced TO the improper
selection of soil.
Cabbage and carrots have devel-
oped into dependable crops in re-
cent years and promise to be grown
mere in the next few seasons.
Lettuce, of course, is one of the
major crops of the valley. 1t will
grow on a variety OF soils 1t takes
more care in planting than some
crops but yields are high and prices
are usually good.
CantalCupe is the major melon
cr3p in the valley and sometimes,
with honeydews, utilizes as much
as 10000 acres.

Flax Brings In
Dollars To Nv.

Flax. which along with sugar
heetS has developed into an i'm
portant crop in more recent years,
is destined to become ono of the
leading money-making crops in the
valley.
Flax can be grown on variety
of soils and several varieties can
be grown in the valley.
Yields have been unusually high,
in most cases higher than anywhere
else in the world There is always
a ready market for the crop because
tremendous per cent Of the flax
used in the United States is i'm
ported.
Because there is a tariff on the
crop the price is consistently high
and as a result flax growers, with
good management. can net sub
stantial profit each season.
Purple vctch has only recently
been recognized as a possible i'm
portant crop III Imperial Valley
Many experiments have been car
ried out and this year many grow
ers planted the vetch to use as
forage crop.
Wheat, which has been grown
continuously in the valley for many
years is rated as one of the most
dependable crops.
Truck crops which can be grown
in the valley are: artichokes, as
raragus, beets, cabbage, carrots
chard, chicory, cucumbers, eggplant,

Alfalfa acreage in the valley is
the largest Of any similar section
in the United States. Alfalfa will
crow on wtie range of soil types
and is comparatively easy to plant
and to harvest
Barley is the most important
cereal crop in the valley. Its uses
are diversified, both for a hay crop
and for grain.
Sugar beets, which arc fast be-
corning one Of the valleys more
important crops, were grown to a
limited extent during The early his
tory of the valley. The crop was
discontinuei because no factory was
near at hand.
The increased demand for sugar

mentS at the Meloland experiment
station which have revealed that
many varieties can be grown here
which will be resistant to disease,

vantages which quickly attracted
settlers from all over the United
States
Many types of crops were intro
duced with varying degrees of sue
cess. New farming practices were
developed but as occurs in most
pioneer communities, the suitability
of soils for crops plante.i received
little attention. Until only recently
the farmers continued to plant crops
with no regard for the type Of soil

many problems which early settlers
overlooked. For that reason many
Of them would take the best from

That practice is not necessary,
however, for there is no other sec
ton of country where such a great
number Of desirable crops can be
grown for soil improvement.

Farmers Come To
PtouU And Stay

The agricultural industry IN the
valley, after nearly 30 years OF
pioneering, is now entering a period
Of stablization.
When farmers first came into
Imperial valley they came with the
idea of developing farm land for
only a few years, harvesting rich
returns and then moving away.
In recent years, however, the at
titude of the farmer has changed.
He has worked out his plans on
long term programs and has be-
gun to take advantage Of crop
rotation.
Field crops which are grown in
Imperial Valley are; alfalfa, barley

More land will be made available
in future years and the complete
success Of experiments showing
which crops can be grown success
fully in the valley will eliminate
any guess work on the part of the
farmer.
Farming has become business in
the valley in recent years and an
nual programs are being followed
by the more successful farmers.

At the present time, with the
pioneer period of development draw

the valley entering a period in which
better developed plans are put into
practice, great strides of progress
are anticipated in the next few
years.
The climate of Imperial Valley
is advantageous, in that there is

any crop is in danger Of frost. That
gives 300 days for growth without

For a Flakier Crust.-One-half

the water when making pie crust,
will assure a flakier crust.
Improving Fudge.-If you will
add, a small spoonful of cornstarch
to the next batch of fudge you
make, you will be amazed at the
improvement in flavor.
Stuffed Eggs.-To stuff eggs, put
them into cold water as soon as
taken from the stove. This will
keep the whites in better condi-
ton.
Cooking Dried Fruit.-Soak and
cook slices of lemon with dried
apricots, prunes or peaches. One
thin slice of lemon will be enough
for each two cups of dried fruit.
Varnish Straw Articles.-All ar
ticles made of straw, such as bas-
kets suitcases, mating, will last
longer if given an occasional coat
of white varnish..
Butter Marshmallow Fork
When toasting marshmallows to
prevent them from sticking to
stick or fork when toasted, have
handy cube of butter so the

Electric motors on modern wash
