delphia National Guardsmen re-
turned from make-believe war in
Upper New York State today to a
real fight outside their armory with
five men suspected of plotting rob-
berry of the regimental pay roll.
The fight started when the men
refused to move an automobile
blocking the armory entrance. A
major of the 111th Infantry ex-
pressed belief the men intended to
seize a $4,000 pay roll.
All of the men were armed. the
major asserted. One of them
punched 1t. Robert Atkinson and
hit him on the head with a pistol
butt. That started a melee of fly
ing fists.
Just as field hardened detail of
Guardsmen was mastering the sit
uation, along came cavalry reserves
in the form of IA mounted police
men. The fight was soon over and
the attackers locked in Jail for in
vestigation.

BUILDING f FARM SECTION
Benefits Of Farm Bureau Ca|approved
SeedProgram Outlined byL. {. Hawk,
Committee Chairman in Valley

arily amount to millions of dollars
annually"
The Calapproved plan was Start
ed in 1925 by Farm Bureau men,
bers of California who secured the
assistance of the faculty of the Col
lege of Agriculture, University of
California, on plan to halt the
deterioration of the quality of seed
grains and to prevent the adultera-
ton of pure and improved varie-
ties. The California Approved Seed
Committee was formed by this
group to work with experts in both
the College of Agriculture and the
State Department of Agriculture to
dispense pure seed to farmers and
to see that this seed was grown
under proper conditions to keep it
a pure strain. All seed certified by
the committee is selected and sold
under the Farm Bureaus copy
righted label "Calapproved," which
assures the buyer that the seed is
of the highest quality.
This is a year when the whole
state of California can appreciate
the value of such plan. Califor-
mia has just witnessed one of her
most severe epidemics of stem rust
and smut. However, the wheat rust
and smut blitzkrieg will soon lose
its effect when the Calapproved
seed program for rust resistant
varieties gets in full swing. Two re-
sistant varieties were released last
fall, Baart 38 and White Federation
38. Only enough seed to plant six
hundred acres of Baart 38 and
twenty-five hundred acres Of White
Federation 38 was released but
these acreages came through the
smut and rust blitzkrieg with prac-
tically no loss. Ample amounts of
the seed from these two varieties
will be available to the farmers of
California in the fall of 1941.
The Agricultural Extension Ser
vice assists the Farm Bureau in
carrying on Calapproved seed work
in Imperial and other agricultural
counties of California.

Trend Toward More Low-Cost Homes
Continues, FILA Officials Report

These mortgages, furthermore,
have represented a higher propor-
ton of valuation in the last two
years than previously, making the
down trend of cost even more mark
ed. In addition, some 10000 new
small homes were constructed both
this year and last with loans of not
more than $25OO insured under Title
I.
"The unprecedented reduction in
monthly costs of home ownership
made possible by the long-term low
-interest-rate FHA-insured mort
gage has encouraged the building
industry to produce sound homes in

fore considered a profitable market
for new construction, officials de-
clared. "As a result, the benefits
of new home ownership have been
steadily extended to even broader

Wars Effect on
Crop Outlook
Told in Report

If the European war continues
and the national defense program
proceeds as planned, domestic con-
sumer demand for farm products
will be considerably improved dur
ing 1941. but loss of European mar
kets will probably reduce further
the total demand for cotton, wheat,
tobacco and most Pacific Coast
fruits.
This summary of expected 194l
domestic and export demand for
farm products was received today
BY Frank Beyschlag, Imperial Coun-
ty Farm Advisor from DR.. S. W..
Shear of the Giannini Foundation
of Agricultural Economics at the
University of California.
So long as the war continues, says
DR.. Shear, exports of California,
fresh. dried, and canned fruits are
likely to remain at low level. The
resulting pressure from large ex-
portable surpluses, he believes. will
force prices of many fruits to low
levels unless they are supported by
government loans and subsidy pro-
grams.
Marked improvement in domestic
consumers demand is expected dur
ing 1941, points out DR.. Shear, be-
cause of greatly increased indus
trial employment under the influ-
ence of the enlarged defense pro-
gram and heavy industrial exports,
chiefly to the United Kingdom.
This, concludes DR.. Shear, will
help those farm products sold al
most entirely in the domestic mar
ket These include dairy and poul-
try products, vegetables, and few
fruits such as fresh peaches, plums,
and cherries. Hope is also seen for
improvement in prices of California
figs, dates, almonds, picked olives,
and olive oil, if the war cuts off the
usual large imports from the Medit-
erranean and Near East countries

Raj Shoots Down
French Official

VICHY, France, Nov. 80 up
A French plane carrying Jean
Chiappe. y-appointed high
commissioner to Syria, and three
other men, was shot down in
flames in the Mediterranean by a
British plane between Marseille

was announced today in an official
communique.
The communique said the plane,
which sank, was shot down during
a British-Italian naval battle, when
it ran into a melee of planes from
two aircraft carriers fighting aloft.

police, had been sent TO Syria to
succeed Gabriel Puaux as ranking
official in that French mandate,
one of the strategic regions of the
Near East. He was a follower of
