Summers S Harvest

ITS Final Phase
Harrigan Says Flax,
Other Crops Nearing
Close Next Month

Summer harvest season in
Imperial Valley Saturday
headed toward the final
weeks before its close early
next month.
Shipments of hay, flax, beets, and
melons continued this month with
grape shipments going forward sat
isfactorily.
In his June report to the county

pected to be completed in July with
yields from latter paintings good,
Prices steadily increased, inSuring
growers of a profitable deal.
Sugar beet loadings for the month
of June totaled 1,088 cars. Yields
were generally good with the sugar
content high. Harvest will continue
until late July. The tomato shipping
season practically ended with light
shipments late IN June. The tomato
deal as a whole was good with
growers receiving good prices. Yields
were satisfactory and markets
steady.
During the month of June total
of 22,861 tons of hay passed through

Red army.
| The extent of advance was un-
specified but the official German
news agency indicated it had thrust
through the Ostrov sector in the
northeast to the main Russian de-
fense line and had reached Vitebsk,
only 80 miles from the rail center of
Smolensk, on the road to Moscow.
Both Moscow and Berlin made
only general and uninformative re-
ports.
Elsewhere on the war fronts, the
Royal air force carried on the 32nd
day of sustained day and night
bombardment of German and
French coast targets.
The communiques of both sides
described the Russian front as:
Northeast or Baltic SectOr-Ger-
man infantry penetrated sWampy
wet zone after inflicting heavy loss
es on the Russians and picked Nazi
troops Saturday assaulted the main
Russian lines, the official news
agency said. The Russians had ad-
mitted hard fighting in this sector
against numerically superior enemy
troops but Saturday told only of
isolated battles in which the Ger
mans suffered loss of large numbers
of guns, tanks armored vehicles and
prisoners in attempting to cross
rivers. A German claim that their
forces had advanced 335 miles from
the German frontier indicated that
the fighting might be past Ostrov
and within about 1875 miles of Len
ingrad.
Central or Moscow Sector-Ger-
man forces stood off Russian tank
LED counter attack near Vitebsk,
on the Dvina river, and then broke
up the enemy forces with hard
blows that destroyed 101 tanks, the
news agency reported This would
indicate a NaZi advance from the
Polotsk region to within 80 miles
of the important and heavily
bombed railroad center of Smolensk,
on the Moscow road. The Russians
did not report specifically on this

Lear's order for the 15-mile hike

criticism from Kilday and other
congressman. The war department
has asked for a full factual report

THE NEW TAX BILL

The new tax bill, which was
passed by the House and is now in
the Senate, has many merits. But
it likewise has defects which should
be remedied before final enact
ment.
The House is to be compliment
g don removing the clause which
would have forced husband and
wives with separate incomes to
lump their earnings in a single re-
turn, and so pay a far higher to-
tai tax then would otherwise have
been levied. This provision was
rhanifestly unjust and, in effect,
amounted to placing definite eco
nomic penalty upon the institution
of marriage.
Prime weakness of the House
Bill, in the view of most economists,
lies in the failure to place an equit-
able tax upon those in the lower
income brackets who will receive
the bulk of the wages resulting
