groes. Mexicans. Fflipinos all are
used in the beet fields.
In 194l and 1912 the sugar beet
crop was listed as one of the million
dollar crops of the valley. At that
time it ran well over a million dol
lars.
WAR INFLUENCE
The war. Of course, slowed down
the development of the sugar beet
industry. Plans were made and land
was purchased for a large sugar
refinery between FL Centre and
Holtville. This construction had to
be called off because of the war
creating shortages in labor and
construction materials. 1t is expect
ed. however, that this refinery will
be built as soon as it Is feasible
after the war;
Sugar beet production received
some impetus when sugar supplies
ran low but increasing sugar i'm
ports or a better method of diStribu
ton made the actual shortage a
thing of the past. Sugar beet pro-
duction then went back to normal
and leyeled off with producers ap-

year ago was 1891. This crop
was harvested and marketed be-
tween March and June. Last fall
2.A65 acres were planted in the val
ley, the district crop report showed.
DROP IN ACREAGE
Several reasons were given for
the tremendous drop in the sugar
beet acreage this year. The land
in several instances was put back
into alfalfa production so the soil
might be improved and brought UP
to the necessary fertility for the
production of sugar beets and 9TH
er crops which deplete the soil.
Then there was the shortage OF la
Dor that caused beet growers so
much worry and anxiety. They were
not able to harvest the crop when
it was ready and therefore suf-
fered a loss because OF shrinkage
which reduced the sugar content.

Since sugar from Imperial Valley
beet fields started appearing on the
dinner tables of the nation in 1888,
the beet crop has been one of major
Importance in valley agriculture.
Experiments with the growing of
teets In the valley began TO inter-
est farmers prior to 1888, but that
was the first year that the crop
became of commercial Importance.

1912 was TO 4.297 carloads last year
the shipments totaled 1898 car

war conditions will be and what
they may expect in the world OF

Meanwhile sugar beets still are
being grown in the valley and still
are being taken to refineries on the
coast. The sugar content of the val
ley beets still is high test and well
worth the while of the farmer.

u. s. War Board
Cooperates
In Crop Output

The work and responsibilities OF
the United States War Board, an
administrative group under the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment administra-
ton, is so closely correlated with
the AAA it is only in the boards
membership that one finds why
this board is one of the important
ones in the county.
With L. C. Hawk, AAA committee
chairman, as head, the following
men make up the ms mbership:
william Fox, NJ. L. McDougall, P.
E. Hixson, Rudolph Miller, Frank
Beyschlag, r. D. Hoy, 3. A. Har-
rigan, J. L. Dubois, Sam E. Robin
son, Dan Scott, Thomas Finney, all
of FL Centre; Baxter Loveland,
BraWley; E. r. Carr, Calipatria;
James Simmons, BraWley; Harold
B. Brown, Bard, and Nelson Cor
rcll, Calipatria. Charles Small is
secretary of the board.
SET-UP OUTLINED
Most of the Agricultural Adjust
ment committees subcommittee
itself has various delegated duties
in connection with agricultural
problems. During the past year there
was no change in the war board OF
its activities but it was designated
as an agency of the AAA, which
now certifies the committee men,
bers, and its budget is now part OF
the AAA administration.
In particular, one important ad-
ministrativc activity is carried out
by the county war boards. This is
in the field of draft dcfermcntS of
essential agricultural workers. AL
though the final authority regard
ing such deferment rests with the
draft boards, in a great majority
of the cases involving farm opera
tors or agricultural labor, those
boards have relied upon the recon-
mendations made by the county
USDA war board.
HOW PLAN WORKS
The procedure finds the draft
board referring cases to the war
board for consideration. An investi-
CATION is made by the farm labor
office under the direction of George
GarrigueS of the state agricultural
extension service. The result Of this
investigation is reported to the
board, which makes the decision as
to whether or not the individual is
essential to continued agricultural
production. The county AAA COM
mittee provides the clerical assist
ance in this activity.
The draft deferment activity has
increasing Importance as each man
taken now represents a definite loss
to crop production. At a recent
meeting of the Ell Centre draft
board and the war board the groups
issued statement that "the bottom
Of the manpower barrel for the
draft is being scraped" and it was
the intention that only those men
who could be spared would be
called, but that every case and es-
pecialiy those of the young men
between 10 and 25 would get serious
scrutiny at regular intervals.
FULL PROCEDURE
1t is to Charles Small that all
cases of priority assistance are orig
inally referred and later taken up
with the various committees. Small
has given priority assistance to
busines inen, manufacturers. ship
pers, farmers and city citizens and
this activity occupies the most of
his office time. He maintains a
strict vigilance over the new WPB
orders and studies their effect on
agriculture, and in many cases an
ticipates difficulties that may arise
from those orders and strives 10 get
