Imperial kdUey farmers met lOI
roundtable conference. They
needed, they said at the time, some
kind of organization of farmers.
They wanted an organization with
nothing to do but protect agrcul-
ture from the attacks of enemies
determined to take control and
make the California farmer pust
another feeder into the NAV of
great racket" This group decided
it was time for uthe farmers of the
state to organize to fight an or
ganized enemy.
At the annual convention of fruit
and vegetablegrowers that year,
1884, the basis of the association
was laid at the suggestion of I'm
perial Valley farmers. Their dream
cryStallized. 1t answered a need.
California. Washington, Oregon,
and Arizona today.
Objects, Purposes
Objects and purposes, proudly
carried on every bulletin issued
from headquarters, is blunt
statement of the intentions Of the
incorporated body:
ITO protect, preserve and
maintain the constitutional form
of government in both nation
and state; to promote and pro-
tect the economic and agricul-
turaI welfare of the citizens of
the United Safes, and particular
ly the citizens of California;; TO
oppose and combat any and all
doctrines and practices which
imperial the maintenance of
these constitutional liberties; TO
protect thR American schools
and constitutional priyiIe vs.
which the educational system of
America has brought to- all chill
dren; TO fight against the infiI-
tration of subversiye doctrines in
the educational system and intO
the government; ii combat the
dictatorship of individuals or
groups, and to promote the
prompt, orderly and efficient ad-
ministration of Justice"
After the Imperial group gave
their idea a good start, they left
organization of the first units TO
other sections of the state. They
made no move to perfect their own
unit until two years ago. Before
then the Associated Farmers OF
Imperial county had no office, no
officers and only a small, inactive
membership.
In 1886 the unit suddenly be-
came a froce in the county. Of
ficers were elected, the member
ship mounted, and an office was
opened in the county court house.
Today il is the most influential
unit on the Pacific coast and is
noted throughout the nation for
its fearless type Of leadership. It's
officers and members take the lead
in the four states. They are called
10 help start more and more units.
To assist in untangling difficulties
oceasioned by strikes and threats
against farmers and the farming
industry.
Prominent Leaders
The organization contains men
known far and wide as leaders.
Hugh T Osborne, chairman of the
count yboard of supervisors and
SECRETARY manager of the Impe-
rial county unit, is the outstanding
leader throughout the Pacific coast
area: Otto Bradshaw unit presi

on wire, under roof. There will be well equipped laboratory for conducting experiments approved by the Division of Experiment. Stations under the Agri- cultural Department.
 Feed for a greater fur producing industry is available in Alaska but until recently fur farmers not been prepared for storage of fish to carry them over the periods when fishing is difficult h. crest in storage plants in the past few has been very encouraging and those equipped will demon itrate the production of fur economically and become he foundation of an industry of value to the Ter ritory"
 That the experimental fur farm will be of mesti- nable value has been stressed before but c. D. Gar
 eld Editor of the Fur Journal in Seattle and former widely known Alaskan for many years connected with the Customs service, makes the further point when he says
 While greatest immediate benefit of the station will be to blue fox and mink growers of Southeast Alaska its work with these animals will be beneficial to all sections Silver fox ranchers in other parts will receive helpful information and the marten studies and observations of great interest to those who have been working with these beautiful fur bearers for years with inadequate results
 Now that thls service has been provided and will become effective the fur farmers of Alaska should form strong organization to support their industry, assist and encourage the work of the station and cooperate every possible way toward the up building of fur production natural of the country, one capable of expansion and can be made a source of prosperity to those engaged and wealth to the Territory

PROGRESS AT EXPERIMENTAL

 Dr. Jules B Loftus Territorial Veterinarian and member of the University of Alaska extension depart ment who was formerly stationed in Juneau, has general supervision of the farm and commenting recently on the undertaking said:
 The fur farming industry has been decidedly handicapped in its lack of experiment station Research in this field is receiving considerable support now in several states and feel certain the industry will benefit in proportion.
 Our work in Alaska will be based primarily on a fish ration The station will start this fall with two pairs of Alaskan silver fox 30 blue fox 40 mink and marten. Greater part of the animals will be kept

George Washingt0n-'DictatOr'
Philadelphia Record)

Washington Adams, Hamilton and Clinton were labeled traitors and dicta tors"
 The nation needs reminders like this one, in President Roosevelts great address for the 15Oth anniversary of New York States ratification of the Federal Constitution
 Our 1888 reactonaries make such public practice of crying dictator at President Roosevelt and hug gng the Constitution to their bosoms that it is well to remember that they do for the very reason the reaconaries of l50 years ago dictator at Washington they fought to prevent the Constitution from being adopted.
 That reason?
 The viewing with alarm of any effort to think and act in national terms instead of State and local terms"
 And as the President points out ''the viewers with alarm the patrons of ghosts and hobgobns in those days had little to learn from the professional fear mongers of 1938'
 It is amazing that otherwise intelligent men today should take the viewpoint that the ineffective our Federal Government, the better. Those men seem to account healthy that administrations elected by the people by devious devices be prevented from fulfilling their mandates.
 In the early days of the nation, perhaps, the fear of a Federal Government understandable But in the wake of a depression which emphasized that we either work together starve separately the campaign to undermine public confidence in the Federal Government takes the aspects of economic mania,
 But the President says. we always have had 1HoSe people Wlth us Ana that may be Tor the best In the light of their intellectual antiquity the progress of our country stands out the brighter
 The Constitution was written instrument of progress
 stituton remains an instrument of progress.
 Today, despite it's professional adulators the Con-
 We are glad the President took this occasion to refresh public memory upon the dire pers which that Constitution was to bring to the country Gin the opinion of the fear-mongers of 150 years ago. It makes us feel that the perils predicted today are after all nothing compared with the perls that never showed up

A COMMON SENSE APPLICATION
 OF EDUCATION

Reviving a laudable practice which was in effect two years the Juneau schools Monday morning will start supplying milk twice day to all children whose parents wish them have it. Major idea of the plan is to provide heath-gving milk to under-nourished youngsters But it is not confined to that thought alone. The service is broadened out it should be to include every pupil in the Juneau schools.
 The milk will be distributed by the school nurse twice day mid-morning and md-afternoon. To under -nourshed children it will be provided free charge if the parents are willing they may pay for it as they choose And it will also be available to all other children at small cost to the parents The school authorities report that they have received requests from parents of both under -nourished and well-nourished children for the service.
 In announcing the assumption of the milk service, the school authorities make the point that the tra- ditlonal three "Rs can be better taught to healthy strong child than to one who is under -nourished
 Certainly, it is sound point And it can be carried further. Strong healthy children the development of a vrile race of men and women. It is the best check possible against the inroads of disease. Healthy body with resultant clear mind is the best guarantee of sound moral character
 In past years the matter of health was not as- broadened the need for health education has become universally recognized The fundamental fact of the statement If you have health you have everything" has to be accepted part of code better living. It is sound code and one which has proven that it pays big dividends
 The School Board is to be congratulated on re- sumiag the milk service in our schools It is inter- preting the term education in @ practical, common sense way. Its action should meet with the whole hearted support and cooperation of the parents of this community.
