Her breath caught. Last sum-
mer they had spent many hours in
the woods around Queensyille.
They had roasted wienies over an
open fire. baked potatoes. made

nitely promising. And Linda had
hung over every word.
You're wonderful. George" She
remembered her own voice saying
that. Some day you'll be one Of
the worlds most important scien-
lists"
He had told her how much 1t
meant to him to be able to talk
with her about his work. Your
interest is like a torch, beckon-
ing me on. Linda. Without you"
Last summer she had been sure
that without her, he would not be
capable of doing his work. This
summer, she knew better. George
needed no one. His work was
lonely and glorious, but it sprang
from an inner compulsion. 1t was
not to dazzle her or anyone else
that he persisted, endlessly, in the
face of almost unsurmountable
obstacles. It was because within
his own soul there was love for
perfection, an urgent need, a pas
sion beyond explanation. Microbes
fascinated him. He was one of
the lonely army who battled in
quiet laboratories and wrote
thoughtful papers on obscure and
involved phenomena.
No, he didn't need her.
And never once in all those
long -gone picnics had he stopped
his talk of germs to tell her she
was lovely, or to kiss her lips. She
hadn't noticed, then. Now she
knew that what she had felt for
him was admiration, not love.

Farm Market Conditions to
Show Improvement in 1899

The general outlook on farming
Imperial Valley would indicate that
marketing conditions in most agri-
cultural products will be consider
ably improved in 1889.
That decision was not made after
a perfunctory examination but fol-
lowed a thorough investigation by
the United States department OF
agriculture.
Present conditions, according to
the USDA, suggest that increasing
business activity and rising con-
sumner incomes will create a more
favorable domestic market for farm
products. 1t is expected that this
will offset a rather heavy loss in
foreign trade.
The cotton market situation is
dominated by an exceedingly large
carry-over supply. The total cot
ton supply in the world is expect
ed to be more than 81 100000 bales
in 1899.
Controlled marketing will aid IN
the maintenance of a maximum
price. however.
Wheat acreage in the nation and
in the valley will be considerably
lower than in 1888 due principally
to prevailing low prices and the
crop adjustment program.
Flax acreage in Imperial Valley
and in other sections of the United
States has been increased tremen-
dously in the past two years but
total production in the United
States will furnish only one-third
of that used annually in the nation.
Flax acreages have replaced some
wheat milo and alfalfa in the val
lev and there is every indication
that more will be planted in 1910.
All grapefruit and orange pro-
ducing areas except Imperial VAL
ley will increase production in 1889,
according to the USDA. Imperial
Valley will remain virtually the
same as in 1888 Increased produc-
ton elsewhere, however, may affect
price materially unless a strict pro
rate can be maintained.
The acreage of truck crops for
market has expanded considerably
during the past few years and price
drops were predicted for beets, cab
bage, and tomatoes.
sweet potato acreages will be
cut considerably.
The total supply of all foodstuffs
will again be large for the winter
and spring feeding seasons as a
result of a good growing season
and a large carry-over.
The probability is that the large
supply of feed will bring about an
expansion in livestock production.
The number of hogs especially is on
the increase while the tendency is
to hold back cows and heiters TO
build up breeding herds.
An expansion in the dairy in
dustry will be noted in 1899. A
further expansion is expected III
l940
Egg and poultry production Will
also be heavier. An increase OF ten
per cent is expected in the number
of laying hens.

BY FRED AMES

Those of you who have children
now grown to manhood or woman
hood, must remember the day
when you first looked at your child
and realized with something of a
shock, perhaps with a pang of re-
gret, that he was growing up. All
at once you saw that he was drop
ping his childish ways for the ways
and nlannerisms Of maturity. 7
wonder how many of you have
looked at your town lately and
noticed that it is growing up.
Towns. like children, have their
period of adolescence; a time when
they are suffering from growing
pains. 1t is the period of transi-
tion from the small town to the
city. The town may even have a
changing voice, like an adolescent
boy. You may hear it speak in
the firm, sure tones of maturity,
and suddenly be startled and
amused TO hear those tones break

State Conservation Agent, Making
Survey Of Valley Conditions,
Tells Advantages Of Farm Program

Did you know that each of you.
whether you be a banker or a
farmer, plays a vital part in the
federal governments agriculture
conservation program?
Probably not because the average
persons pays little heed to those
things with which he is not di-
rectly connected, but Robert Wilson,
state committeeman in the con-
servation administration, pointed
out Saturday that the burden OF
the program is carried by the tax
payer
Wilson, who is making a study
of valley conditions to determine
what changes should be made in
the administration of the program
to aid valley growers, reminded far
mers that conservation payment
moneys come from the general fund
of the treasury department.
Wilson, who tends to his lemon
groves in the San Fernando valley
when he is not occupied with as
signments from the state conserva-
ton office, predicted that the farm
conservation program would even
tually be accepted as an important
administration in the government.
The program started with a uni
form setup for the entire nation,
Wilson said, but as years have
passed notifications have been
made to suit conditions in differ
ent sections of the United States.
That is the reason for my visit to
Imperial Valley press., 1939-01-01

Imperial Valley, he added.
The valleys planting and harvest
ing dates in many products are far
different from those in any other
section of the country. Therefore,
certain phases of the program must
be changed to make setup adapt
able.
Wilson admitted that there had
been a great deal of opposition
from some sections but pointed out
that farmers kicked" because they
did not understand the full work.
ing of the program.
However, Wilson continued, as
the program continues to show re-
suits, farmers are gradually begin
ming to accept the plan as neces-
sary control of market.
Sterilization is the goal of the
conservation program. Production
of crops will be controlled to an
extent that all farmers will be as
sured of a profit, provided they full
fill all requisites for good farming.

all savings account at their an

clare an annual dividend of at
least four per cent.
Jones predicted that 1899 would
see an improvement in business op-

loaned to valley homebuilders in

Protest Bibb Graves As
Possible War Secretary

NEW YORK - Expressing con-
Germ over reports that President
Roosevelt might appoint Alaba-
mas former Governor Bib Graves
to a cabinet post, possibly as Sc
cretary of War, or Assistant Sc
cretary of Agriculture, the Nation
al Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People urged the
Chief Executive to abandon any
plan for the appointment of
Graves to any federal post.
In a letter to the President, dat
ed November %, the Association
gave three reasons for opposing
any consideration of Graves: his
attitude toward Negroes would be
calculated to increase discrimina-
ton against this group of citizens
in the country's armed forces and
in agriculture; his complete re-
pudiation of 'unequivocal promis-
es" to free the remaining Scots
boro Boys while he was Governor
of Alabama; and "the undenied
charge" that the former governor
was a member of the Ku Klu1z
Khan"
