EX-CHAMP LAUDS
COLLEGE PLAYER
Bruce Barnes Sees Him as
Davis Cup Star Within
Next Year or Two.
BY FRITZ HOWELL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

COLUMBUS. Ohio-Bruce Barnes,
former national doubles tennis
champ. is serving notice on the
Nations ranking stars to prepare TO
move over and make room near the
top for Don McNeill. Kenyon College
ace and present national senior king
Of the indoor courts.
Barnes makes this prediction de-
spite McNeill's upset defeat by Russell
Bobbitt Of Georgia Tech in the first
round of the national collegiate
tourney.
Given the time to devote to top
flight tournament play. there is moth
ing to stop Don in his climb to world
supremacy" Barnes says.
And to give McNeill that expert
ence, Barnes mapped an extensive
summer tournament campaign for his
protege. drive which he Is certain
will land the youngster nth in 1899
national rankings.
Not only should Don jump from
ninth to fifth in the ratings" Barnes
says. but if his net game continues
TO improve and soon equals his back
court ability. he will be fighting for
the No. l spot on the United States
Davis Cup team within a year or
two"
Smarter and Header.
McNelll grabbed the Ohio Con-
ference title for the second straight
year recently. Barnes says the youth
Is smarter and header player than
when he won his national indoor VIC
tory
Don is learning court strategy
and employing shrewd patience to
such an extent that his game has
improved Is per cent in the last few
months. One of his greatest assets
Is his nerveless, unrufiied manner.
which enables him to turn on the
heat when the going gets toughest. I
believe he really enjoys getting in
tough spots, for his many final-set
performances attest the great stretch
drive he possesses.
Program and Predictions.
Added to all that he has all the
shots. and quiet, undeniable de-
termination to reach the peak"
Here's how Barnes predicts McNeil

watermelon season officially
opened IN Imperial Valley Satur-
day when the first carload of mel
ons was shipped from CaleXicO to

The first carload was shipped
from the j. p. Carter shed in

Carter, who will handle more
than 1000 acres of Watermelons be
fore the season ends, predicted a
good season for Watermelons
growers.
The season will be in full swing
by Wednesday according to Cart
er, equaling last years heavy ship
ment period.
Cold winds have brought about
lighter settings of melons through
out the valley, according to Cart
er. but the cold weather tends to
make the WatermelOns larger and
also makes the quality better.
The market this season prmoises
to be slightly higher than last
year due to the fact the yield will
be slightly below normal.
Carter pointed out that water
melons were not affected by the

ments. He explained that water

For Wheat
To Be Made

The Imperial county agriculture
conservation office Is rushing
plans to make wheat allotments
for the 1898 crop year c. L. Me
Laughlin secretary of the group
announced Saturday.
The allotments will be used for
the 1888 crop harvest only for
technical purposes in computing
total allotments of soil depicting
crops permitted to qualify for bene-
fit payments.
Information developed from the
allCtments. however, will be used
for setting allotments for the 1899
crop to be planted next fall. Pay
mentS will be made under the con-
servation program. Overplanting
will be penalized.
In addition. should the wheat
growers Of the nation favor the
establishment of marketing
agreement in the July referendum
an excise tax of Is cents per
bushel will be deducted from price
of any wheat marketed in excess
of quota established.
Any grower in the county, who is
now operating land which produc-
ed wheat in 1885 1896, 1897 or
1898 should arrange Immediately
to contact the county office to file
supplementary listing sheet infor-
nation to reveal his production of
wheat in those years.

Imperial Valley press., 1938-05-29

Imperial county poultry men will
begin a concerted drive this year
to improve the poultry industry in
the valley. an industry that has
fallen to almost insigniiicance since
1884.
The first attempt to stimulate
the industry in the valley was
started by the farm advisors office
in 1923. BY 1925 a great deal of in
terest was noted in building up
the industry.
BY 1882 great progress had been
made. The valley contained more
poultrymen than ever before. The
industry apparently was on the
road to new heights.
Then the depression hit the val
ley between the eyes. Egg prices
fell to discouraging depths. Poul-
trymen became disguised. Many
moved out of the valley. Others
eliminated poultry from their farm
ing duties.
A few held on. Those few have
emerged from the depths of dis
couragement and are again operat-
ing a thriving industry. The eggs
market is good as is the table
poultry market. Only small por-
ton of eggs and table poultry
used in the valley is raised in the
valley.
A good example of the decline in
the industry is shown in the num-
Der of turkeys now raised in the
valley. In 1881 there were $4,000
birds. Today there are less than
half that number.

Eighteen Tons
Of Poison Bait
Distributed

Distribution of poison bait to
valley farmers to combat grass
hoppers in alfalfa fields slackened
during the past week according
to b. A. Harrigan, agricultural COM
missioner.
Eighteen tons Of poison bait
have been distributed this season,
according to figures released by
the commissioner office.
Reason for the light poison dis
tribution during the past week was
the invasion of the Southern Cali
fornia Fish Bait company.
The company is operating four
large graSshopper trap machines.
The hoppers are used for bait and
are also used occasionally in scenes

said today. Marketings of we'll

pected to increase Seasonally dur
ing the next 3 or months, and
by summer and fall these better
grades will be considerably more
plentiful than a year earlier,
Prices of finished cattle usually
advance during the early summer.
But such advance is not likely this
year. the bureau pointed out, partly
because of the current weakness in
consumer demand for meats. In the
late summer and fall, however,
some seasonal advance may occur
in prices of the better grades OF
slaughter cattle.
