once heard a customer say
| rather contemptously to q nur-
seryman, AT Los Angeles prices
there is a million dollars worth OF
shrubbery growing wild on every
square mile of Northern Calf"
And I heard another man, a for
mer citizen of the state of Arkan-
sas say Fifty cents a piece for
them little bushes" Why, I used
to grub out better lookin' brush
than them and pile it up and burn
1t back in Arkansas.
Following the same line of rea-
soning they might AS well have
said: There is a million tons of
ice around the North Pole to be
had for the taking, so why should
have to pay fifty cents a hundred
for it in Los Angeles" The point is
that there is no demand for ice,
nor expense involved in its pro-
duction, at the North Pole. And
the same may be said Of shubbery
growing wild in Northern Califor-
MIA and Arkansas. When you go to
bury nursery stock, remember that
demand and cost OF production are
factors in the nursery business the
same as in any other. Your nur-
seryman is not getting rich. In
fact, there are few businesses
which have suffered higher NOR
tality rate during the years of the
depression than the nursery bus
mess. When you buy nursery stock
you have a right to demand good
clean healthy stock, and you should
be willing TO pay a reasonable price
for it.
Now is the time to fertilize your
trees and shrubbery. The growing
season is just beginning and the
plants which are fed now are the
ones which will have the rich, dark
green, luxuriant' foliage later on
FloWering trees and shrubs will also
show the effect of feeding in larger
blossoms and brighter colors.
For correcting specific cases oi
soil deficiency it is advisable to use
commercial fertilizers which may
be obtained from any seed house
Use according to directions. But
for a general long range program
of fertilization there is nothing
better than the regular application
of barnyard manure. I know that
this advise will not be pleasing to
some. What they desire is to be
given some magic formulae, not
available to their neighbors, and
which will produce instantaneous
and astonishing results. But such a
program always leads to eventual
disappointment. Some nurserymen
use a great deal of blood meal, bone
meal and fish meal for feeding
plants. These highly concentrated
fertilizers are somewhat like a "shot
in the arm. They produce results
very quickly but the effect is not
lasting. A quick growth of soft lush
foliage is not desirable in home
gardening. Plants which are fed
with highly concentrated fertilizers
in the spring will not stand the hot

.I.V. Shed Workers
Approve Wage Pact
For Coming Season

BRAWLEY, March ia crowd
OF shed workers at an open meet
ing here Friday night voiced ap-
proval of a wage agreement between
Imperial Valley shippers and the
Fruit and Vegetable Packers asso-
citation.
Officials of the association ex-
planned the details of the agree
ment which calls for Workmen to
receive the same wages in the 1899
cantaloupe deal as they did in the
1888 season. In the 1939-40 lettuce
season the wage scale is to equal
the established scale in other major
lettuce deals in California and Ari-
zona, the officials said.
No action was taken on the agree
ment as the meeting was open to
the public and was not a regular
association session. The meeting
was called merely to acquaint the
workers with the plan, Arthur Tur-
ner, association president, said.

County Escapes
State Office PURGE

A purge of 500 employees from
the California Motor Vehicle De-
partment had no effect upon I'M
perial county because there is no
regular staff from that department
established in the county, Captain
Frank OSwalt said Saturday.
Temporary clerks employed to
help handle the work during the
annual automobile license renewal
period in Ell Centro, he said, were
automatically discharged the week
of Feb. 4. The highway patrol
and the registration department are
different branches of the Motor We
hicle Department.
Budget clerks in Sacramento de-
clared the dismissals were routine

after the issuance of new license

LOS ANGELES, March 19.-Resi-
Dental construction in the United
States has begun 1889 with an ex-
ceptionally heavy increase over the
early weeks of 1888, statisticians of
the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board said today in a report re-
ceived by officials of the 18th Dis
trict Federal Home Loan Bank.
Their figures showed that the
building index of 500 for January
was 1873 per cent above the 24.4 in
dex of January a year ago. January
was also 31.7 per cent better than
December, 1888, when the index was
1872. The year 1926 is taken as
the normal for basis of compari-
son.
Throwing further light on this
picture, the Boards statistical ad-
yisors said that building material
prices remained almost stationary
between December and January and
showed 2.5 per cent decline be-
tween January this year and Janu-
ary, 1888. The building material
index was 895 in January and 89.4
in December, but it was 9l.8 year
ago.

the refunding program" he said,
save $8,000,O00, get money for
draining the land, prevent possibi-
lity of tax levy which the tax
payers cannot pay, and give this
valley chance to pay off its obi
cations.
This program will permit the
district taMbayers to cancel $8000,-
600 of their debt to the bondholders.
The bondholders bought our bonds
and we used the money to build
canals and carry on other develop
ment. 1t is right that we pay them
as much as We can. Just because
we cannot get more from the
bondholders is no reason 20 refuse
what they do have to offer"
Hewes declared that every resi-
dent of the district has an invest
ment in it and the refunding pro-
vides an opportunity to protect
that investment.
