The most significant fact about
the county agricultural adjustment
administration offices is that they
are administered by elected COM
mittees of farmers. This tends to
decentralize the responsibilities and
authority of the state and national
organizations, as well as the county
organization. From community
elections come the committeeman
who serve on the county committee.
In carrying out the activities as
signed to the counties, various SUBJ
committees have been set up to
handle the individual problems.
These committees in Imperial coun-
ty are the farm transportation COM
mittee, the farm rationing commit
tee, the county feed committee. the
fertilizer committee, the livestock
and meat committee, recent Spe-
cial gas ALLEGATION committee and
the new wage stabiljzation commit
tee

For the present, Miller said, and
for at least some months in the
future, the d,sieS and reSponsibili-
ties, which change rapidly under
determinations from congress and
the wars progress, will remain fair
ly static, and will include:
Meeting of the production goals
set up for the nation and states
for important crops and livestock
products. These goals are estab-
lished to indicate The adjustments
and levels Of production needed
for the war effort 1t is the respon-
Sibility of the county committees
IN their areas to encourage farm
ers to attain these goals. This re-
Sponsibility is shared by the agri-
cultural extension service which
has been assigned responsibility by
the war food administration for the
general educational activities of the
department. OF agriculture.
Steel and metals fight wars and
the needs CT the military forces
have nCceSSitatcd smaller produc-

Even ii it had been possible to
maintain prcWar manufacture of
farm machinery, the supply would
have fallen short of the demand,
Mr.. Miller said.
SEVERAL REASONS
This Is due to several reasons,
principal among which are: % The

navy of tires the size used on farm
equipment but for safety reasons
arc no longer usable by the navy.
The same efforts will be made with
the army.
A shipment of wax paper for
lettuce and vegetable crate Innings
was the successful result of a meet
ing staged by the county office be-
tween paper manufacturers, the
WPB office fild local distributors.

range in the past few months in
Clude: Priority assistance to all
kinds Of civilian users from OBJ
tanning carbon tetrachloride for dry
cleaners to films for the immigra-
tion service. From machinery for
the high school shops to police ra-
die sending and receiving equip
ment
And some effort is spent in as
sisting long range farmers from the
valley. We even take care of in
quiries from as far away as Walla

to protect it's freshness and quality on
its long trek across the nation (and,
by the way, IMPERIAL ICE has not
been rationed as yet, nor has any
shortage been experienced by its GUS
tomers).
Refrigerator cars must be secured
to carry the lettuce to consuming mar
kets With the enormous load the rail
roads have had to assume and handle,
difficulties have often arisen because
a car shortage exists.
Before cars are loaded, shipper
must have Government inspection to
assure standard pack, in proper sized
containers end OF graded quality, if it
is to bring top market price.
In the face of steadily rising labor
costs to contend with, a ceiling price
must be strictly observed.
After the aforementioned items
are met with, the humble head of let
tuce is on its way to assist in feeding
our vast armed forces and civilian con-
SlmerS.
The world calls the men operating
the vegetable industry, growers and
shippers. We would say they are
MIRACLE MEN.
Operating as they do, under unbe-
lievable restrictions, delay and conges-
ton created by war conditions, and
contending with almost insurmount-
able difficulties, THEY ARE STILL
CARRYING ON. They are doing this
very essential job as their part in help
ing to win the war
ALL HAIL to these unsung heroes,
who represent the vegetable industry
of the U. S. A. in the Imperial Valley.
GENTLEMEN, WE SALUTE
YOU!

Marketing Vegetables
Through Difficulties
A Tribute to Valley Growers,
Packers and Shippers

We Of Imperial Ice wish to pay
tribute to the vegetable industry for
the magnificent job it is doing during
these critical days.
The growers and shippers have as
sumed the colossal responsibility of
furnishing a world at war with slfffi-
cient perishable food to supply our
Armed Forces, our Allies and our civil
ian population at time when growing,
processing, shipping, distributing and
marketing have been restricted to such
an extent by regulation that the re-
sponsibility has increased a hundred
fold.
Let US briefly analyze the job of
growing and delivering to the con-
sufner a head of Narden-fresh, crisp,
healthful, vitanlin-packed lettuce
Land must be located and fer
tllizcr obtained. Here the red tape of
regulation starts to unroll, as priority
must be secured and allotment made
before it can be delivered. After the
ground IS planted, shed repairs and
improvements must be made in prepa-
ration for handling the crop. Priorities
for material, machinery, etc, must be
had before the repairs can be made.
When thinning season comes, the
problem of obtaining field labor arises
and it must be requested through one
of the various labor-handling bureaus
Harvest season presents the same
problem, for it is dependent on field
labor for cutting and loading in the
fields.
When lettuce arrives, shook must
be obtained by priority and allotment.
1t then must be made into crates and
these packed by skilled labor, which is
most difficult to obtain.
The packed crate is then ICED,
