Valley Growers Holding g
For Better Returns as
Result of Fla. Cold

Imperial Valley grape
fruit growers marked time
Friday, according to B. A.
Harrigan. agricultural COM
missioner, to await more
complete reports of the extent of
damage to citrus in Florida and
Texas before selling.
Buyers In the valley offered be-
tween $40 and Sl2 per ton but re-
ceived few takers. Growers were
generally reluctant to sell, point
ing out they had held shipments
for three months and could cer-
tainly afford to hold 4 short while
longer.
Meanwhile agricultural leaders
throughout Florida sought to mo-
billie credit facilities and relief
funds on all fronts for citrus and
vegetable growers hard-hit by the
states severe cold wave
A drastic breathing SPELL, in
the nature of an embargo on fruit
shipments until next Thursday, was
in effect. State fruit inspectors
were scattered about the groves
attempting TO check the extent OF
the damage caused by the siege OF
freezing temperatures which III
some sections completely defoliaged
trees and froze fruit to the heart.

Fire Chief Needs
More Fireworks
To Brighten Birds

OKLAHOMA CITY. Feb. .. up
Fire chief G.. R. McAlpine said
today that al. he needs is more
and bigger candles to win his battle
against starlings.
He armed his firemen last night
with fireworks instead of fire hoses
and sent them out to scare away
thousands of birds that chose re
caves and ColniceS OF the city S
finest buiE1ings as a rooSting place.
The tlremeI won temporary
victory with their new tangled
weapons and sent the starlines
tWlttering away from their usual
hauntS. But the birds found other
accommodations in buildings that
McAlpinc had failed to man With
intl-bird batteries.
Our strategy was wrong Nc
Alpine said. Tonight, barring ram,
we'll scare the birds out OF a year S
growth and hope out of the coun
ty. Wen post men at strategic
points throughout the downtown
area. Every time the birds start
10 land, we'll blast away at them.
Well keep it up all night If neccS-
Sary.'
