perial Valley growers through COM

Glen N. Davis of the University Of
California College of Agriculture.
A limited amount Of this seed
was planted in the valley during
the past season in order to test The
variety under field conditions. Ac-
cording to DR. Davis, the melons
brought premium prices on the
eastern market.

operatively by the College of Agri-
culture and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. It is a
high producer. is more mildew re-
siStant that Cantaloupe No. 3, and
is smaller than that widely grown
variety. This last characteristic,
says DR.. Davis, gives an advantage
in shipping and makes Honeyball
easier to sell.
The new variety was originally
selected from test plots hear Braw-
ley. 1t has thick, light pinkish flesh
and q small, dry seed cavity. The
outside of the Honeyball melon is
lighter yellow than the ordinary

Valley Cabbage
Escapes Disease

Parasitic plant diseases are not
at present causing any damage III
Imperial Valley cabbage fields. This
was the finding of DR.. Thomas t.
Middleton, plant pathologlst Oh
truck crops diseases of the UNI
versity of California. Middleton vis-
tied the valley last week at the
request of local growers made thru
the Imperial County Firm Advisors
office.
In company with Frank Beyschlas,
county farm advisor, four cabbage
fields were examined in the south
part of Imperial Valley Beyschlag
reports that in one field in which
the owner suspected the presence
of cabbage yellows, that the sickly
yellow dwarfing and whiting of the
entire plants, which characterize
this disease were not evident. There
was, however, some mechanlcal
bruising and consequent yelloWing
on some of the leaves from wind
injury and other causes. Incidently
Middleton stated that cabbage yell
lows has never been found in Cali
fornia.
In another cabbage field the own
Ell was fearful of downey mildeW
The yellow appearance on some of
the foliage here was also due to
bruising by the wind or other causes
Diligent search did, however, dis
close a few cabbage plants with
some small spots of doWney mil
dew This causes spots of somewhat
shrunken dead tissue which on the
upper side of the leaf is light tan
or ashen gray while on the lower
side the tissue is gray with a faint
tinge of purple, especially near the
margin of the spot.
Black sooty mold often invades
the dead tissue causing it to ap-
pear black. The farm advisor re-
ports that the university paholog-
ist Middleton and P. A. Miller found
downey mildew quite prevalent on
cabbage in Imperial Valley last,
February due to the relatively high
humidity of last seaSan. This year
it is as yet of no consequence. In
two other cabbage fields surveyed
last week no plan disease were
found.

French Warship
At Gibraltar, Say
Spanish Reports

MADRlD, NOV. Zo. tOt) A
French battleship of the Paris class
(22,190 tons) is anchored at the ar
senal pier at Gibraltar, the United
Press learned today from CORE
spondent in the vicinity.
The Spanish news agency, Men
cheta, said it had confirmed the
presence of a French battleship of
the Paris class at Gibraltar. In a
dispatch from La Linea, opposite
Gibraltar, it described the ship as
camouflaged with black and white
paint. The name was painted out
and the ship flew the British flag
and was manned by British sailors,
the news agency said. 1t mounted
four cannon on the stern, four on
the prov, and more cannon and
antiaircraft guns on both sides.
A British naval attacne here said
if the ship was of the Paris class
it could only be L'Ocean, since the
other two ships of the class, the
Coubert and Paris, already had
been incorporated into the British
navy.
OOcean. according to James
Fighting Ships, authoritative naval
handbook, is of 1911 vintage, was
formerly called the Jean Bart, and
was demilitarized and converted in
to training ship before the war;
Mencheta reports from La Linea
said there was unusual activity at
Gibraltar all day yesterday and that
last night, an aircraft carrier, two
battleships, three cruisers, four de-
stroyers. six torpedo boats, two sub
marines and two auxiliaries were
maneuvering near there. The Glib
raltar garrison was said TO have
been strengthened considerably in
recent days.

ing of problems common TO the

and capable of talking in the mill
tary terms understood by the Mar
shal of France.
In announcing his selection. Has

background in making his choice.
Everyone knows what the presi-
dent thinks of Admiral Leahy's abil-
ity as a navy man and as an official
of superb all-around ability" Has
sett said.
Since his retirement from active
naval service, Leahy has been serv-
ing as governor of Puerto Rico.
Temporary White House headQuar-
tiers did not indicate who would
succeed him in the Puerto Rico
governorship or when an announce
ment on this subject might be ex-
pected.
