Colorado River was diverted
over old, dried-up river beds
into the valley from a point
below Yuma, Arizona. Then
in 1910, completion of the

making it more prolific than

Today the Imperial Valley is
half-million acre outdoor
hothouse, producing in winter
time choicer vegetables and
fruits than most other farming
areas can grow in normal sea-
sons. Because this produce is
out-of-season, it commands
prices often double or triple
usual levels.
Take, for instance, canta-

CALIFORNIA VEGETABLES

year. Here in southern Cali
fornia's lush Imperial Valley,
farmers expect to reap bigger
returns from their crops than
the $87 million record-break-
ing harvest of 1916.
That is because yields have
been high this season; quality
has been good, and prices for
the fancy groceries grown
hereabouts have been at peak
levels.
Fifty years ago, the Imper-

Curb Steel Racket
BY The Assoeiotsd Press

Senate investigators called In the
Federal Bureau of Investigation to-
/ day to help run down million
dollar racket involving the use of
/ forged letters on stolen stationery
to mulct would-be buyers in the
tight steel market.
Raymond Dickey, chief counsel to
a Senate Small Business Subcom-
tmittee, told newsmen, I'VE are get
ting our ducks in a. row" for public
| hearings on the disclosures result
ling from a tipon by the Bethlehem
Steel Co.
The company told the committee
yesterday that it's Philadelphia sales
Office was robbed of stationery ap-
parently used by the ring to per-
suade potential steel buyers that
deliveries would be made.
| Mr.. Dickey said the ring, on the
basis of forged letters on Bethlehem
Iletterheads. has accepted orders for
approximately 1,0O0,o 900 tons of steel
and has collected deposits of at
least $4,000.
| hECtUCdUtC NUutTdctSs
/ He said the operators induce
would-be buyers to sign ''irrevocable
and uncancellable" contracts call
ing for delivery of steel at $110 a
ton, and some time later attempt
to collect deposit of 81 ton to
be forfeited if the steel is not &C.
cepted.
Mr.. Dickey said evidence the COM
mittee's investigators have uncov-
cred indicates that the ring intends
to offer to fulfill the contracts some
time In the future after the price
OF steel has fallen well below $40
a ton and to collect the forfeit then.
II the scheme were successful. he
said. the operators might collect as
much as 100000 on the orders
they have already accepted.
A Photographic copy of a pur-
ported letter from Bethlehem
promising delivery of steel sis shown
as the gimmick, the come-on" to
induce buyers to sign the rings con-
tracts, he said.
Businessmen Warned.
Mr.. Dickey urged any businessmen
approached on the basis of such
letters to check Immediately with
the company" otherwise they are
likely to be left holding the bag"
Meanwhile, the Small Business
Subcommittee continued its overall
inquiry into the difficulties small
manufacturers are having in obtain
ing steel.
Called as witnesses were T. A..
Duerr of the Troop Water Heater
Co., Pittsburgh. and Al Levinson of
the Steelcraft Engineering Co., Gin
cinnati.
Committee aides said Mr.. Duerr
was called to outline a written COM
plant that he has been unable to
purchase steel, although he has been
for years a customer of one of the
large steel producers.
Mr.. Levinson was summoned to
discuss previous testimony that the
Steelcraft company handled some
steel which later sold at prices far
above the $50 normal mill price.

II thew can win the Laurlnburg
game tomorrow. A. L. suddath,
state commissioner of Legion base
hill. decided to allow the contest
following a conference with other
Legion officials Sunday at Dunn.
The new decision handed down
by the Indianapolis office directed
Area 2 Southern league officials
and Suddath to disregard all
games which other league mem,
bers had protested with Red
Servings. The latter nine was &C
cused Of using Ineligible players
early in the season. Following two
games which Red Springs won
while repeatedly using the inellgl-
bic players, the losing teams,
Laurinburg and Wilmington de-
manded a forfeit. This was given
a favorable ruling at first, but tine
new ruling made by the same Of
flee revoked completely the first

Here is what happened chrome
logically:
Wilmington was nominauy the
title winner in the four-team lea
que including also Whitevllle,
Laurinburg. and Red Springs -
with a record of II wins and five
losses. Whiteville was second, with
II and six. But both teams had
been given an additional win at
the end of the season without play
ing the games because Red
Springs forfeited n contest to
each upon dropping out of the
league. But the early ruling by
Indianapolis took the wins away
from both teams. This made the
