those who have planted athel trees
or eucalyptus in the parkings in
front of their homes, are now seek
ing to have them removed. Be-
cause of their extensive root sys-
TENS they are not only a menace
to sidewalks and curbingS, but they
will rob your lawns and flower beds
of moisture and nourishment. Do
not plant trees in the street park
ings which you will want to have
removed in few years. That does
MT get us anyplace.
If the street trees on your street
or in your block are preponderant-
ly of one variety, then I would
suggest that it would be an act of
courtesy to your neighbors and
TO the general public to conform
to the already established planting
scheme. Originality in home plant
ings is fine, but not in street plant
ings. A street lined on either side
for its full length with fine trees,
all of one variety, is something to
be remembered. A street with a
different variety of tree in front
of every fifty foot lot is also some
thing TO be remembered-With hor-
ror.
In a future article I will try to
outline a few of the advantages and
disadvantages OF various types of
trees suitable for street planting in
this locality.
Imperial Valley press., 1939-02-05
- By FRED AMES -

Quite frequently the superinten-
dent of parks is asked to suggest
varieties Of trees for planting in
street parkings. Occasionally some
one wishes to know what kind of
trees the city desires TO have plant
ed in the parkings. In larger cities
there is usually a park commission
composed Of qualified citizens ap-
pointed by the mayor. Among other
duties the park commissioner has
authority to designate what vari-
eties of trees may be planted upon
various streets of the city.
1t is possible that we may have
a park commission in El Centre in
time. Meanwhile, the city seems TO
have no settled policy as TO what
varieties of trees may be planted
in the parkings, and do not feel
like arbitrarily assuming the au-
thority TO define such policy my
self. However, am glad TO offer
suggestions.
In the first place 1 would earn
estly advise that no more eucalyp-
tus or athel trees should be planted
in the street parkings. Those var
ietieS Of trees have their place in
the valley. A great many more
OF them should be planted along
our highways and around our ranch
homes, but not in our street park
ings. With very few exceptions

cantaloupes and other So-called
gamble" crops. in future years.
AT the present time there is at
least $4,000 acres of flax in the
valley and there is every reason
to believe that acreage will be dou-
bled IN 1870
"BeetS will also replace some
acreage Of lettuce and cantaloupes
in future years the fair board
president declared.
The valley is steadily moving
toward a more stable agricultural
setup." Hulse explained. Under
ordinary conditions valley farmers
can net $40 per acre on flax. some
can make more At the present time
the United States produces only
one-fifth of the flaXseed consumed
in the nation. so flax is a COM
paratively safe crop.
Livestock industry is also ready
to hit the uphill trail" Hulse said.

plowed into the ground, shippers OF
the two areas Saturday resumed
shipments to an improved market
which brought as high as $3.50 per
crate according to B. A. Harrigan,

Before growers and shippers
agreed to disc under one-third of

prospect for improvement in market

Under the agreement, signed by
