Four French newspapers cover

Cerdan died in an airplane crash

On q Durk Night. Must a
Pedestrion Be Constantly
On the Lookout

A girl was walking home one
evening, on an unlighted side street.
The night was dark, and she failed
to notice a shallow, unguarded pit
jutting part way into the sidewalk.
She stumbled into the pit--and suf-
fered painful injury Later the
girl filed damage action against
the county. since the pit had been
left there by county construction
crew. At the trial, county attorneys
insisted that the victim herself was
equally to blame because she
hadn't kept constant lookout as to
where she was walking. But the
court allowed the girls claim. The
judge said that, even on dark
night, pedestrian may take it for
granted that the county is doing it's
duty-keeping the side walks safe
for walking.

der. However, it was absolutely
impossible to tell which gun had
inflicted the wound. Not knowing
which cousin to sue, the man final
ly filed damage actions against
both of them. They protested that
it wasn't fair to punish the inno-
cent along with the guilty" but
the court decided to hold them both
liable for the mishap. The judge
said that, since they shouldn't have
been shooting over public road in
the first place. both must share
responsibility for what happened.

1--WE have had a lot of expert
ence with the cotton loan. During
the past Is years or more, prices
have been supported by cotton
loan participation to the benefit
OF the cotton grower. In 1913,
when over one-third of the crop
was put under loan. farmers re-
paid the loans on % bales out of
every 100 placed in the loan.
That cotton was sold on the mar
ket by the growers a price
higher than the loan value. About
$3.50 bale was distributed back
to growers by the Commodity
Credit Corporation on cotton
which remained under loan from
the 1913 crop.
Complete details on the 1851
loan program may be obtained
from the county PIMA office or
from any county or community
committeeman.

keting the crop over a longer
period will prevent flooding the
market at time when orderly
marketing would pay off in a
stronger market. Each farmer
must make his own decision, but
The should consider loan advant'
ages carefully"
The chairman explained that
mills and exporters cannot use
the whole years needs for cotton
during the short period when the
bulk OF the crop is harvested. He
said cotton farmers know that
marketings must be financed,
stored and merchandized later.
If a lot of cotton is placed in
the lain the market would be
strengthened by feeding cotton
into the market as it is needed,
while at the same time cash
through the loan program is pro-
vided for the payment of current
obligations.

Garden Time
BY ROBERT SCHMIDT

Community, county, and State
Fairs will soon attract our at
tention. Many gardeners will en-
ter exhibits of fruits, vegetables
and flowers-others will not 60 to
the trouble, but will stand around
the exhibits and say have
better turnips, potatoes or cab
bage than those, at home"
Haven't you heard them? Every.
one should be public spirited and
place his best products on ex,
hibit at the near-by-fair. Here
are a few suggestions that may
be helpful in preparing your ex.
habits. Read the fair catalogue
over carefully and especially the
information about the classes in
which you are making entries.
If the class calls for five tona-
toes, a peck of potatoes, a pound
of pecans, then be sure that you
enter that many-no more or no
less. Unless the class calls for the
largest specimens, do not exhibit
over sized fruits or vegetables
exhibit the best market size. In
any exhibit the fruits and vege.
tables should be uniform in size
and shape and color, free from
all insect damage and disease,
free from bad bruises, and true
to type. In an apple exhibit the
stems must be on each apple.
Unless they are muddy or dirty,
1t is not necessary to wash Irish
and sweet potatoes-in fact some
times washing shows up the de-
tects more. 1t is usually necess.
airy to know what variety of fruit
or vegetable you are exhibiting.
l have seen many entries disqual-
flied because they were not of
the proper variety. For a few
vegetables, certain conditions are
called for, tomatoes should be
ripe, bell peppers green, pimien.
TO peppers red, hot peppers red
or yellow according to variety.
Root crops such as turnips should
nave tops removed because the
leaves will wilt badly before the
first day is over. Of great i'm.
portance is the care in packing
fruits and vegetables for trans,
portation to the fair. Each speci.
men should be wrapped separate.
~ IN paper. Many a good exhibit
IS ruined before it gets to the
fair. ZIG

gestlons for preparing flowers
