Farm Organization Fight Against
Subversiye Elements Vindicated
In New Fifth Column Scare

tiles in California. after the re-
port was rendered, tho legislature
appropriated $500 to permit the
Yorty committee to make a further
investigation)
Enact laws, both Federal and
state, to force leftwing propagan-
dists and undercover party operators
into the open. This column recently
recommended tn at Communists,
voting the Communist ticket but
hiding their registration, be driven
into the open by requirement
that any political party must have
a registration equallink 3 per cent
of the vote at the preceding general
clection).
Set up legal machinery to
strengthen defense against actual
physical sabotage by subversive ele-
mcntS. Farmers, who have been more
subject to acts of sabotage than any
other group, have demanded pro-
lection of this type for years on
endD
Analyzc our educational system to

citation of American democracy.
And strengthen the laws to elm
mate politics and radical domina-

major farm organizations have long
advocated)
Made War
1t is unfortunate, perhaps, that
it took the threat of War-and the
tragic object lesson overseaS-to
bring California to realization Of
radical infiltration and all that
il portends. But is is fortunate,
indeed. that the state is finally
aroused land is prepared to deal
with the situation.
The fifth column" has made war
on California agriculture for many
years past 1t has made war in
the cities, too, through radical labor
czars, who tied up business and
industry-but farmers were the first
to fight back and call a spade a
spade in doing so. If California is
finally awake, however, the days of
the fifth column" arc numbered!

Canada Looms as
Outlet for Pork

A new market for fresh pork has
been developing in Canada in the
months since war started in Eu-
rope. Under British food plans Can
ada is obligated to ship to the
United Kingdom from 23O to 200
million pounds year of bacon and
ham. With curing plants taking so
great part of Canadian produc-
ton, Canada drew on supplies in
the United States. Canada-which
took 100000 pounds of fresh and
frozen pork from the United States
in 1935-took 81 .066. 900 pounds last
year, according to the Office of For
elgn Agricultural Relations, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The demand will continue, it is ex-
pected as long as the United King
dom continues to call for deliveries
of Canadian cured pork.

Loans Improve
Barley Market

Improved barley market Condi-
tlons in 1940 was predicted Tues
day as details of a federal loan pro-
gram were announced by Rudolph
Miller, county conservation secre-
tary.
Faced with an estimated 1910 sup
ply for the state about l6 percent
greater than was produced in 1899,
low market prices 15 percent OF
parity last April l5) and curtaileo
export outlets which have been in
tensified by the recent European
outbreak, growers will now be able
with the loan program to finance
storage of part of their 1910 crop
in order to market it in a more
orderly manner during the entire
marketing year, Imperial county
AAA officials pointed out.
Loans will be made by the Com
modify Credit corporation in all
barley producing areas of the ma
ton. to any producer whose 1910
total acreage of Soil-depletng crops
does not exceed the total soil-de-
pleting allotment or permitted acre
age established for the farm under
the 1910 Agricultural Conservation
Program
Rates to local producers on the
basis of farm storage arc 35C per
bushcl for No. l grade; 34c for No.
2: 32c for No. 3; 29c for No. 4;
25c for No. 5. A discount of &c per
bushel will be made for mixed bar
ley. Tough, stained, blighted, smut
ty, garlicky, weevily ergoty OF
bleached barley will not be eligible
for loans. No storage allowance will
be made for farm-stored barley.
Warehouse loan rates are 7c per
buShel less than if the barley is
farm stored, with storage of collat-
eral in approved warehouses only
This deduction represent the esti-
mated average storage charges
which would be paid by the Com
modify Credit corporation if barley
were delivered to the Corporation
in satisfaction of the loan at ma
turlty.
1910 barley loans will be avail
able until next December 81.
In view of unsettled world con-
dtlons, all future Commodity Cred
1t corporation loans will be on a
demand basis.

Durinq Week

Imperial Valley hay shipments
during the past week totaled 1920
tons as compared to 1870 tons the
previous week, according to Sat
urday's report of the Federal State
malhet news service.
A somewhat stronger tone was
generally indicated in the lower
San Joaquin Valley toward the
close of the period as a result of
an active demand for the moder-
ately heavy offerings. AS the period
ended No. 2 Lcafy or better grades
of hay were reported difficult to
secure in that area at less than
$3.50 per ton baled at the ranch
and some sales were indicated at
50 with light, scattered sales of
best quality hay netting producers
$40 per ton.
In the Imperial Valley prices of
No. 2 Lcafy or better alfalfa were
generally reported unchanged at
$40 to $1l per ton baled at the
ranch while demand continued ac-
tive. A good interest was reported

Better quality hay from tho first
crop in the Antelope valley was re-

Details Can Often
Ruin A Picture

The tall blonde in the smooth
fitting black coat looked like q
story-book heroine until she stood
I'D 10 leave the restaurant. Then,
however. she broke the spell.
There were black marks on the
ankles of her stockings, and the
lifts on her heels were crooked
She moved on down to the desk
to pay her check and got in line
behind a smartly-groomed, good
looking little brunette in a navy
silk suit with a frosty white
blouse. Even the tall blonde was
impressed. She studied the bru-
nette from the tips of her polish
ed navy blue shoes to the top OF
her obviously recently-brushed,
perfectly-tilted green hat.
But she wasn't impressed for
long. And neither were the cash.
Ter or others in the line.
Because suddenly the little
dark-haired girl opened her bag,
which had been resting on the
desk. From then on, attention TO-
cused on the bag instead of on its
owner. Stuffed until it was abso-
lutely shapeless. bits of cleansing
tissue and odds and ends of this
and that fell out as the brunette
fished around for money.
$3.50 GROOMING Is
LIKE NONE AT ALL
Again, an otherwise perfect pic
ture was ruined by a mere detail.
And it happens all too often.
There are no two ways about
it, even the incest, most perfectly
pressed costume loses much of its
charm If the accessories worn
with 1t aren't in fine order. A
smashingly dramatic hat doesn't
make up for soiled gloves or a
dingy scarf. A good dress means
nothing if a slip shows below the
hemline of it.
In other words, $3.50 grooming
Is not so very much better than
bad grooming. If she is going to
bother with her appearance at all,
the smart woman goes the whole
way. She sets and keeps every
detail in order. And keeps it in
order all day, every day.

Good Taste Today

we may count on having Mary
with US?
Answer: If Mary were very
young, you would naturally write
or at least telephone her mother
and ask her approval of your
plans. But I have an idea that
she is beyond the age when her
mothers permission need be writ
ten for. In your case, you should
of course second your sons invita-
ton to l.ary. Either ask her
when you see her, or telephone
her or write to her. Tell her that
you as well as he are hoping that
she can go on the trip with you,
etc. AS to expense, all general
ones are your obligation. She
should of course pay for her own
small personal ones, such as her
laundry and telephone calls and
kilograms, and anything she buys.
