tie feed upon Imperial Valley al
falfa hay which moved from a
somewhat diminished but still a
vast acreage. Difficulties in OBJ
tanning harvesting labor and ma
chinery are credited with the re-
duction of alfalfa paintings from
$4,000 acres in 1912 to about 95,-
coo at the present time. Diversion
of some cantaloupe land to alfalfa
in the current planting season has
increased the acreage this spring,
more than 5000 acres.
MUCH DAT HAY
Some 1900 acres of oat hay
which will be cut this spring Will
move on Army contracts, as Camp
Lockett is a large user of this type
of fodder for the cavalry horses
stabbed there.
The Army is a heavy purchaser
of rice, taking 80 per cent OF the
current crop of Imperial Valley,
which is now being harvested. Al
though the harvest is not quite
complete, it will run, according to
estimate, between $4,000 and l50,-
600 bags.
Rice is one of the newer crops
in Imperial Valley, and its de-
velopment has been phenomenal,
with war contracts boosting pros
pective acreage to $4,000 acres
from the present 1890 acres.
FURNISHES OIL
FlaxSeed grown in Imperial
county is furnishing oil for the
paint that covers the WarplaneS,
battleships, tanks and other armor-
ed equipment of the military and
naval services. Likewise, its straw
is ground into the pulp to make
the cigarettes that follow the boys
to every camp in the states and
overseas from Iceland to India. One
of the big ten of essential
crops. flax farmers have done their
utmost to produce up to the gov
ernments requirements, increasing
acreage from 10000 acres last sea-
son to the 100000 that will be har-
vested early this summer.
LinSeed oil is one of the import
ant lend-leaSe commodities Be
tween 10000 and 10000 tons were
shipped to Russia last year and a
shipment of some 1000 tons is eX-
pected shortly from this area.
Linseed meal, protein concen-
trate is a by-product of the flax
seed crushers, used for variety of
purposes besides paint; as a dryer
in printing ink and in the manu-
facture of linoleum. Both these
end products are indirectly of use
in advancing the war effort.
Imperial Valley flax yields $50
pounds of oil to the ton, and 10000
pounds of meal.

Or No
To ps?

Apart from wartime ViciSSitudes,
change has hit the carrot indus
try in a dramatic fashion this year
as growers begin to experiment
with shipping carrots to market
minus their handsome, feathery
green tops.
The bunch h-carrot industry, as
practiced heretofore in Imperial
county and other carrot growing
areas has cultivated the impress
sion among the housewives of the
nation that a carrot without leaves
is a poor and mean thing, fit for
neither man nor beast. Packers
have sent crates to market elab-
orately packed in paper-lined crates
and bedded in snoW-ice. One
Withered top among this tender
fern-like greenery will start mildeW
that races through a car if it Is
held up on siding on a warm
day and journeys toward it's east
coast destination.
NEED WORKERS
A quantity of fairly skilled field
labor is required to bunch and tie
the carrots with raffia or patent
ed wire "tWinStemS" before they
are trucked to the shipping sheds
where they are put through wash
ing machines to remove the adobe
mud from their glowing contours
and ready them for the tables OF
gourmets.
All these things, the field la
Dor of punching, the washing, the
icing, the delicate paper wrappings,
the quantities of ice, which must
be renewed at intervals as the car
rot cars roll eastward cost enough
money to the grower to make the
humble vegetable a luxury trade
commodity; wonder is that it con-
tinues as a staple along with beetS,
turnipS and cabbage on the grocers
stand.
NEW IDEA
But subtly, q new idea about
carrots has been at work among the
adventurous spirits of the vege-
table-groWing work. 1t was in l94l
that a few carrots began to be
seen, encased in celopnone bags
and shorn of their plumy tops.
They were greeted on the markets
with some indifference by house
wives, who had been educated by
the vegetable shippers themselves,
to look at the tops rather than
the nutritious roots to measure
their freshness.
Last year, some Arizona grow
erS experimental rather extensive
ly with topped carrots, in spite of
the market prejudice against them,
and were more successful than they
had expected The product began
to receive without comment, along
with the un-topped shipments. A
big chain store took all its car
cots topped and that meant a vol
ume distribution to buyers who
knew their carrots.
Nv. GROWERS, TOO
This season some Imperial VAL
ley growers are experimenting with
carrot topping and with consider
able success. The multiple stores
continue to take them that way and
the Army and Navy contractors buy
them topped. Several local firms,
including Matchless Produce Co,
Thor Packing Co, and Alex En-
gleman, have topped a large part of
their crop this year, eliminating

farmer by staging a truck and Ia
Dor shortage, the war stepped in
and brought about a shortage of
railroad cars. In the midst of the
lettuce season at the time when
the lettuce was in perfect condition
and the prices were most tempting,
there was an unprecedented short
age of railroad cars. Railway Of
ficials said there were enough cars
available to supply the demand, but
it was impossible to get them to
the valley. Troop trains have
priority, of course, and that put the
produce cars on sidings until the
| troop trains were out of the way.
USE MORE TRUCKS
That was met by using more
trucks to get the lettuce to mar
ket. That move created a short
age in trucks needed in shipments
of other products. The situation
soon was acute and lettuce spoiled
in the fields before the shortage
I
could be met.
Taking everything into consider
alton, however, the market prices
were good, war or no war. In crops
where the government has not es-
tablished ceiling prices away out of
| line with the cost of production,
farm experts agree. the wartime
markets are generally good.
SIGH AND SHAKE
In some instances. it is pointed
out with many a sigh and shake
of the head, the government set
ceiling prices that were below the
cost of production. That created
bottleneck, a shambles, stale
mate, or what have you. Just what
to do in such cases has not been
figured out at this writing. Most
of the farmers have been forced to
grin, but have been stubborn in
their refusal TO bear the situation
without prolonged hoWls of rage
aimed at anyone having the least
connection with a federal agency.
Congress, state officials, federal
bureaus, federal officials and every
one all up and down the line, have
been bOmbarded with kilograms,
telephone calls, and letters demand
ing that someone who knows how
be delegated to unscramble the
scrambled transportation systems
of the United States, and let the
farmers go back to their farming.
I'm farmer one farmer wall
ed, I'm not transportation ex-
pert. All I can do is grow food
Surely there is some man in the
United States smart enough to
Straighten out transportation"

Special Senate Body
To Study Juvenile
Delinquency Problems

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. - R -
A special Senate subcommittee on
wartime health and education will
attempt to establish the facts of
juvenile delinquency in relation to
The war effort and to recommend
remedies, in hearings this week.
Senator Pepper O-Fla), chair
man of the group, said that al
though the subject has become one
of grave national concern, there
seems to be no compilation of ac-
curate and complete information
on the causes, or result of delin-
cuency."
"Our preliminary study of the
question" he said, Indicates that
prevalent attitudes range from
inc hysteria of those who treat
the problem as one purely of police
discipline to those who would put
two lollipops in every hand"
Witness in the hearings Nov. 30
to Dec. will include jurists, social
workers, penologists, psychologists,
psychologists, and probation ex-
Uerts.

Among the citations which com

with a spear, and with a shield:
but I come to thee in the name of

Eddy: In Science, you can have
no power opposed to God, and the
physical senses must give up their
