senate, turned sc Tuesday, firm in
the belief that in 1914 he will
again see peace-"after complete

be we'll enough to take his seat in
the senate chamber.
The Lyncnpurgn, Va, whom
President Roosevelt dubbed the
only reconstructed REBEL planned

with only a few of his cronieS
dropping in his hotel suite to pay
their respects and share birthday
cake.

critical illness, and his wife said
physicians had ordered quiet day
to help him fight slight cold. His
illness prevented him from taking
his place president pro tempore OF
the senate during all of 1943.

have victory in 1914 is because

ership of President Roosevelt
Churchill, Stain, Chang Kai-SheR

serving in the armed forces" Glass

this crop is feached in lay and
June. Acreage, district figures show
ed, was 1911.
Winter peas still are leaving the
valley. The acreage this year. 1878,
is considered light.
GRAPEFRUIT MOVES
Grapefruit continued to move
steadily this week Oranges also
were moving out some but there are
800 acres Of Valencias which will
not be picked until spring. Grape
fruit acreage was 3,4ll.
The summer squash acreage was
l.25l and shipments still are going
out. Some eggplant is being shipped
out of the INLAND district, via trucks.
Rice, stepchild of industry these
days, still is being damaged by
ducks and the rains delayed the
harvest long beyond its usual time.
The harvest is not expected TO be
finished until the close Of February.
The continuance of duck hunting
season until March 10 helped IN
controlling that menace. But the
ducks are still a great menace 10

from ducks was said to be in the

RICE AND CEILINGS
Rice growers are not satisfied
with the ceiling price put on the
Blue Rose variety grown in Impe-
rial Valley. This price is $3.50 per
100 pounds of No. milled. This
is the same as the ceiling on Pearl
variety grown in northern Califor-
MIA which Imperial Valley growers
consider inferior to the Blue Rose
variety. Pressure is being brought
to bear to get the ceiling lifted in
the valley to bring it in line with
the ceilings set on other farm
products. The valley acreage was
7,701 this year.
Practically all the alfalfa hay in
the valley has been harvested and
the next cutting will not be made
until early spring. There is practi-
cally no hay in storage now, Harri-
gan said. The acreage was l00,26l.
Barley is another important crop
which will be harvested in tbs
spring. April and May are consider
