Harvard and Pennsylvania
In for Shorp StruobIe


Harvard and Pennsylvania still
remain unwhipped, but one OF the
two must fall this Saturday.
This should be one of the best
games of the day. At any rate, we'll
know a lot more about the Crimson
after its afternoon with Red and
Blue. Dick Harlow apparently has
his battling attack working earlier
this season, and even good Penn
team will have a dizzy time stop
ping it.
If Harvard can beat Penn, Har-
ward might drive on the rest of the
way for one of her best years, where
Dartmouth, Army, Princeton ana
Yale remain on her menu.
I doubt that Pittsburgh can get
by both Fordham and Carnegie
Tech. The Ram is due for a for
ward surge and the Skibos are
among the best we have.
Elmer Layden's lineup at Notre
Dame has had more thrills so far
than any other.
A 3-to-O victory over Purdue
II to IA over Georgia Tech-20
to 10 above Southern Methodist.
Notre Dame has scored 40 points
against three rugged opponents, and
vet her winning margin is Z points
for all three victories-an average
set at 2 points for each start. Each
clash or crash has been a thriller
that might have gone either way,
but they all went in the general
direction of South Bend.
The hustling "Irish"-and Notre
Dame has a flock of them this
fall-could use a breather now, but
Notre Dame rarely knows what a
breather is.

facts that represent agricultural

Cotton, Payments
lobe Reduced

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10 (UP)-
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace disclosed today that cotton
export subsidy. payments will be
reduced from cent and half to
three quarters of cent per pound.
effective tomorrow.
The reduction, he said, will make
possible continuation of the export
program for a longer period with
available limited funds" Under
the cotton export program, 4,344, ,354
bales have been shipped to foreign
countries. The present subsidy rate
went into effect last July. 27.
Export sales during the last four
months, Wallace said, aggregated
982 900 bales larger than the ex-
port total for the previous full
year. Additionally, he added, ex-
porters have sold about 226,000 bales
in manufactured goods abroad.
The new rate will be flat three
quarters cent, per pound on lint
cotton and will vary from one-half
to 1.10a cents per pound on manu-
factured goods sold for export. The

BeyschIag Sums
Farm Outlook
Report of U. 5.

Reduction of indebtedness and
increases of capital savings through
improved farm income was urged
Saturday by Frank Beyschlag, I'M
perial County farm advisor, in his
annual summary of the 1910 farm
outlook report.
War influences, added to fairly
favorable domestic conditions, prob
ably will result in an increase in
domestic industrial activity and
consumer purchasing power in 1910.
Conditions, however. may vary con-
siderably during the coming year.
The resulting increase in domestic
demand is expected to be a more
important factor in the total de-
mand for farm products than in
creaSes in foreign demand due to
the war.
The combined effect is expected
to be better demand for farm prod
ucts in 1910 than in 1873 1t seems
too that prices of farm products
in relation to prices paid by farmers
will be higher in 1910 than in
either 1888 or 1885,. Farmers also
will probably put more farm prod
uctS on the market in 1910 than in
1899. However, the cash income
from the sale of products may not
be as large as in 1897.
The better demand will be. of
set somewhat by larger supplies of
several important products. Prices
of some products already have risen
in anticipation of the increased de-
mand. The improvement in farm
income in 1910 may be more pro-
nounced for meat animals, dairy
products, dairy products, poultry,
fruits and vegetables. than for cot
ton and wheat.
Imperial Valley press., 1939-12-10
Farm Outlook
Much improved

Agriculture is finishing the year
in better condition than it began,
according to summary conducted
by the Bureau of Agricultural Econ
omics. Prices of many farm pro-
ducts and total cash incomes are
higher than in 1898.
Prospects that domestic con-
sumer demand for farm products
in 1910 will be better than in 1899
but prospects for foreign demand
are uncertain because of the war
in Europe, the BAE report said.
Wheat prices are up because of
dry weather in the great plains,
boosted market conditions, in
crease in livestock enterprises has
aided the feed markets and prices
of dairy products have experienced
a rise. Other farm commodities re-
mained unchanged.

Valley Growers
Receive Improved
Price for Hay

A firm to somewhat stronger al
falfa marketing situation prevailed
in areas close to Los Angeles during
the past week. according to a sur
vey conducted by the Federal State
market news service.
In Imperial Valley No . leafy
alfalfa was difficult TO purchase al
less than sl2 to $3.50 per ton bal
ed at the ranch and for the most
part was being held at S13.
Light rain damaged hay was sell
ing late in the period mostly al
$500 to $3.50 although most ton
nages were held at $1,000 with some
sales reported at that level
In the lower San Joaquin Valley
No. 2 leafy alfalfa was difficult tc
purchase at less than $1,000 per tor
baled at the ranch. with inferior
classes at $500 to $1,000 per ton
Growers for the most part removed
a complete sixth cutting, some sever
crops and in few early fields were
reported as cutting eight crops dur
ing this season in the lower San
Joaquin Valley. Livestock feeding
interests were reported showing ac-
tive interest in hay in the Imperial
and lower San Joaquin Valleys due
to continued dry weather
Cattle shipments into Imperial
Valley during the past month or SC
have increased the total number
quite extensively. Trading was re-
ported only moderately active in the
Antelope Valley but growers con-
tinued to show a strong holding
tendency and were releasing sup
plies slowly at firm prices.
Growers showed practically no
interest in releasing No. I alfalfa
at less than S1a00 per ton baled
at the ranch and an occasional
small sale of No. extra leafy alfal-
ia for the retail trade was reported
at prices up to $1,000 per ton baled
at the ranch for later delivery.

try house is constructed to control
the temperature in any kind of
weather.
There are other advantages, too.
Sanitation control eliminates dis
ease to a large extent in the scien-
tific poultry house. The house is
built so that its furnishings" can
be altered to turn it into brooding,
growing or laying house.
Through these advantages the
poultryman can increase his farm
income by a substantial margin.
Cooling of hen houses in the sum-
mer will boost production during
the warm months. Sanitation will
decrease loss, due to disease. Move

Migrant Problem
Presented in
New Light

SACRAMENTO. Calf, Dec. s.
Exploding the popular belief that
Californias migrant agricultural
population is composed in the main
of itinerants from the dust boyl
states. Mexicans and other racial
groups. recent survey conducted
by the State Department of EN-
ployment, under the direction OF
Chairman j. L. Matthews, on the
composition of all migrants enter
ing the San Joaquin Valley from
the south during the recent har-
vest season presents an entirely
different picture.
Matthews indicated that of the
total number of migrants enter
ing the San joaquin Valley in
search of agricultural work since
June Is of the present year, 60.67
percent were residents of California
and but 1852 percent were from
the State of Oklahoma-9.15 per-
cent from Arizona, IA percent from
Texas and 2.69 percent from the
state of Arkansas. Thirty other
states each were the point of ORR
gin for less than one percent OF
the other workers.
Significant was the fact that 81
was white and but 90 percent were
percent of all agricultural labor
Mexican and 3.8 percent Negro.
This survey, which was the most
comprehensive, and the first of
its kind ever taken of agricultural
labor in California, was conducted
over a period of 10 weeks, July Is
to December 5, by the State Depart
ment of Employment at their road

Wheat Loans
Extended TO April

announced Saturday the extension
to April 80, 1910 of all loans secured

1899 wheat loan program all loans
secured by warehoused wheat ma
tured seven months from date, or
April 30, 1910, whichever is earlier.
The first loans will begin to ma
ture around February l. This ex-
