County Ne chanica al
Development Told

Imperial county, long the leader
in mechanical farming develop
ment, gained another step in its
advance to leadership during the
past year, Hal f. Higgins, writer
for the Magazine of the Pacific
reported in a September article af-
ter he had made a survey of valley
farming, according to Robert Hays,
chamber secretary.
Improvements in machinery to
plant and harvest flax, alfalfa and
many other crops were noted by
Higgins. Among The improvements
listed were:
Heavier wheels on mowers for
high speed cutting of hay; a COM
bination pickup chopper baler
high wheeled pickup that straddles
bales of hay, tosses them to con-
veyor which in turn carries the hay
to where men with tongs can han
die it.

Newspapers, showing no conf

on the possibility of surprise Ger

They ruled out the likelihood OF
an attack through Switzerland be-
cause the Swiss had what was
practically a continuation of the
Maginot line. Belgium. too, they
said, could stop the Nazis on the
River Meuse. But, it was said, by
skirting the Meuse the Germans
might attempt to enter the Neither
lands and then drive on to the
plains of Flanders.
Holland and Belgium have begun
experimental preliminary flooding
of their frontier lands as notice
to warning powers that they are
determined to defend their invio-
liability at any cost.
In both cases, it was indicated,
the floodings were minor. They
were a test of the defenses tech

minder that both kingdoms intend

Map Program to
Better Year Record

Hoping to match the successes
of the 1933-39 Future Farmer or
ganization at Ell Centro high, Carl
Vogt, president, called the first
meeting of the FFA this week.
A program of activities was out
lined. a new candy stand crew
was selected and officers were in
structed TO appoint committees to
manage a grain project.
The candy stand crew appointed
was composed of Bob Kelleher,
Dick Ingle and Clyde Blunt.
Last years FFA program was
crowded with successes. Yoshio
Tsjimoto was awarded an honor
airy state farmers degree. Henry
House and Bob ProcSal were elect
ed president and secretary of the
regional FFA, and House was later
chosen state president.
At the county fair the FLA sold
"a beef animals, swine and sheep
at a profit of $2862 and collected
premiums totaling nearly $500.
The Judging teams, livestock,
dairy and poultry, carried off top
honors at the county fair and at
other agricultural shows in other
parts of the state.

Sullivan, who is gathering statis-
tics for a fifth annual county flax
cost record report, pointed out that
the valley has increased its flax
acreage from nothing in 1888 TO
$4,000 acres in 1888.
At the same time. Sullivan said.
the state acreage has been boosted
from II 1000 acres to 10000 acres.
Sullivan doubted whether the
trade agreement with Argentina,
now being considered in Washing
ton, would affect the tariff on flax.
If the tariff should be removed.
however. decreased prices TO grow
ers would seriously reduce the acre
age in the county and in the state.
Argentina is the largest produc-
ing flax country in the world, Sui
Ivan said, and removal of the tar
iff would bring virtual avalanche
of flax to flood our markets and
correspondingly low prices.
Continued enforcement OF the
tariff, however, will result In in
creased acreages in Imperial coun-
ty. Valley growers receive as high
as 80 bushels TO the acre and an
average return of 20 bushels as
compared to the national average
of 7 or 8 tons.
Improved farming conditions in
the county will bring yield in
crease in future years despite the
fact more and more poorer land
will be used for flax, Sullivan con-
cluded

.in furious TO the ndllOn > ldiiucio'
Foulds, who Friday announced
that the National Farm Bureau
federation had appointed a repre-
sentative to protect farmer inter-
ests at the hearing in Washington
on Oct. is, said a brief to oppose
any tariff reductions Oh farm
products would be filed by the
national representative.
The proposed treaty allows for
possible concessions on the follow
ing articles:
Animal y-products. hides. skins,
coarser woods, corn and flaxseed.
Imperial Valley is particularly
opposed to any concessions OH flax
Foulds said. despite the fact Off
cials in Washington have promised
conservation payments TO make up
for losses due to tariff cuts.
Foulds. however, indicated that
valley farmers opposed the conser-
vation payments plan because that
program would eventually lead to
an enforced acreage cut.
For the past several years, Foulds
pointed out, the United States has
exported manufactured goods to
Argentina and imported agricul-
tural products.
While treaty would aid manu-
facturers it would only add an
other hardship on farmers.

Imperial County All club dele
gates to the State All club con-
vention held at the College of Agri-
culture. Davis, Sept. 5, 6, 7, and 8
were rewarded with many new asd
novel experiences, according to nu-
merous delegates interviewed on
their return.
Twenty-four club delegates in
cluding 4 adult leaders and 20 All
club members represented Imperial
county club work. Experiences of
the trip furnished much inspira-
ton as well as practical subject
matter, definite practices, and DEM
enstration materials which are cer-
tain to enhance the County All
club program for the coming year,
directly by those who attended and
indirectly by those at home who
shall be affected thereby.
Demonstrations were much bet
ter than usual, according to dele
gates who have attended other
years. These included: l. Compar-
ative selection demonstrations in
baby beef production where excel
lent specimens and talks were pre-
sented to the delegates. 2. Swine
selection demonstration with point
ers and reasons illustrated; B..
Sheep breeds demonstration and
discussion of sheep keeping on the
farm, 4. Horse breeds demonstra-
ton; 5. Dairy cattle selection, COM
paratlve demonstration. s. Poultry
selection and disease and pest con-
troll demonstration: 7. Demonstra-
ton of recent scientific develop
ments in agricultural machinery
and rural engineering including the
explosion process of shelling wal
nuts 8. Illustrated demonstrations
on irrigation methods. soil moisture
penetration, etc. 9. Home economics
demonstrations; ta) outdoor meals,

| friend suggested that talk of q
/ third term for Roosevelt should not
be factor during congressional
debate of the presidents proposal
for repeal of the embargo cutting
off shipments of arms and i'm
plemen;s of war to Europe.
In an interview with William
Philip Simms carried in the Scripps-
Howard newspapers, Landon was
quoted as saying:
In normal times it is altogether
natural. politically speaking. that
president nearing the end of his
term should hesitate to throw away
one of his trump cords and remove
himself from the political picture
sso long in advance of the convent
ions.
But these are not normal times
Something far more important
than mere party considerations are
at stake. The president himself
recognizes this when he asks the
congress to adjourn partisan poll
tics when it comes to consider
what our attitude is to be in the
face of the European war.
Furthermore, 7 heartily agree
with the president that this should
be done. But I submit that he
himself should make the first
move in that direction by removing
the biggest stumbling block of all
in the path of non-partisan dis
cussion, namely the third term
issue.
The country and the world are
facing one of the greatest crises
in history. Whether We like it or
not. the interests of every American
are involved. Thus. when congress
comes 10 deal with the vital prob
lens which the president has placed
before it. it should do SO with an
eye single to what Is best now and
in the long run for the American
people.
Accordingly. all the underbrush
should be cleared away. Everything
that could possibly obscure or dis
tort the vision should be removed.
Dispassionate reasoning is difficult
at best in times like these, hence
the president should facilitate the
task of congress by taking the step
suggested. He owes it to himself.

This is hand No. 16 of the 1889 World Bridge Olympic con- test conducted by the American Contract Bridge League. Each hand involves 8 definite principle in bidding or play.
 1. What should the final contract on this hand be?
 2. If West were declarer at a spade contract, should North open @ trump?
 3. Is there any problem on Vests part in making four spades?
 {. West has 150 honors. Would he count these in rubber bridge and in duplicate bridge?
 Solution to Bridge Quiz
 1. West should be the declarer ct c four spade contract.
 2. When holding five. or even four of the opponents trumps, 1t generally pays to open your long suit, hoping to ruff the declarer down, to give you command of the trump situation. Therefore, Norths best opening is the diamond queen.
 8. Indeed West has Q problem. While 1t looks as if he has to lose only two hearts and Q club, that is only part of the problem. Re- member that he Is forced to trump the first diamond. Now all of his trunaps are needed to draw North's
