Ten Crops Show
Steady 0utgo;
Markets Firmer

A total OF IL crops rolled from
Imperial Valley to markets through
out the nation in April as farmers
continued their efforts to produce
food and fiber for the war-effort.
In his monthly report to the I'M
perial county board of supervisors
County Agricultural Commissioner
B. A. Harrigan said that the bar
ley harvest is under way and pros
poets are for good yields.
During April 1,849 carloads of
carrots went to fresh markets in
addition to 1900 tons shipped to
dehydration plants Markets were
unsteaCy and some Of the remain
ing acreage is being diverted to
dairy and feed yards in the Los
Angeles area.
The cabbage season closed in
April with II carloads moving to
fresh markets. Heavy tonnage was
shipped to cehydration plants dur
ing the season. Twenty-three car
loads of mixed vegetables were
shipped by rail to steady markets
Steady markets were maintained
throughout the month for tomatoes
and squash. Loadings from the
Holtyille-El Centro areas will in
crease curing May. To date most
shipments have moved from the Nj
land, Calipatria. and Brawley areas.
Light shipments of dry onions
moved to local and coast markets.
Heavier shipments are expected in
May
Grapefruit shipments continued
with A carloads moving by rail
curing the month. Prices were
steady and are at approximate
ceiling levels.
Early paintings of cantaloupeS
were held back by wind and cool
weather.
The alfalfa movement has been
steady to good markets at ceiling
prices for graded hay. The quality
is generally superior to early cut
tings.

PRIVILEGE MUCH ABUSED
(San Diego Union)

(San Diego UnlOn)
While Europeans long have cherished
the belief that the king can do no wrong,
there is no such assumption in democ-
racy, and the matter we'll might be
brought impressively to the attention of
all concerned.
In actual practice we are inclined to
he tolerant with those in high places in
government Sometimes it is necessary
to concede that the duties of the indivld-
ual make special privilege necessary.
But the public expects such individuals
to respect these privileges. Abuses tend
TO break down the structure of democra-
cy.
Generally speaking, the public has re-
vised its travel habits to conform with
the gasoline rationing program. People
were told that the fuel saved and the
rubber conserved will assist in winning
the war and they believed it. Then Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt toured the south Pacl-
fic in a agovernment-Operated plane. When
John @. Motorist began figuring the
amount of gasoline that trip took and
how far it would have driven his jalopy
his patriotism took a dizzy tailspin.
Hardly had this little matter been
quieted when Mrs. Roosevelt boarded
plane and headed for the Caribbean de-
tense area. she has explained since Indt
this was not chartered plane, and that
it was going her way Therefore, she con-
tended, there was no waste of gasoline.
Latest sting to public rationing morale
has been dealt by Mrs. James Roosevelt,
daugbter-in-law of peripatetic Mrs. Flea
nor Roosevelt. Mrs. James Roosevelt was
arrested in Laguna Beach for driving
80 miles an hour in 25-mile zone. The
fine, levied by Police Judge c. c. Crav-
ath, was SO, or Just enough to make the
incident official.
Despite the fact that James Roosevelt,
the husband. gallantly took the blame for
the speeding, the incident weighs heavily
upon the public mind. Why. says the
motorist, should get along on two gal
Ions of gasoline week and drive my
car no more than 35 miles an hour when
members Of the Roosevelt family treat
their privilege SO flippantly?
