U. S. SPECIALIST
INSPECTS BLIGHT
ON LETTUCE CROP
Dr, Ivan C. .Tagger, United States
department of agriculture plant di
sease specialist, has been spending
considerable time in Imperial Val
ley studying the various diseases
of lettuce, according to Farm Ad
visor E. L. Gnrthwuite who has been
cooperating with Dr. dagger. The
principal disease being studied by
Dr. dagger is the brown blight di
sease which annually takes a heavy
toll on the lettuce acreage in Imper
ial Valley.
Dr. .Bigger who has been working
on the brown blight of lettuce for
several years,’ discovered the cause
of the trouble. In order to demon
strate the proper control of the di
sease, several plots have been es
tablished on various ranches in dif
ferent parts of the valley. These
plots, according to Farm Advisor
Garthwaite show without doubt
that Dr. dagger has definitely es
tablished the cause of and remedy
for lettuce brown blight. Every
lettuce grower in Imperial Valley
is urged to inspect the plots.

LOWEST TERMS
V.
ffrfoST folks buy their cars on the in'
stailment plan. The General Motors Cor
poration, with assets of over a Half Billion
Dollars and One Hundred and Thirty ,
Million Dollars in cash on hand, with no loans from
banks or other outside sources, offers to the public
what we believe is the lowest charge possible to
obtain anywhere for a purchaser who desires to buy
on terms. All Chevrolet Dealers have the General
Motors Time Payment Plan available to their cus
tomers. If you buy on time (as most purchasers do),
you certainly should investigate and compare Gen
eral Motors charges for time financing as against
any other. In many instances your present car will
be of sufficient value to cover the down payment
toward a new Chevrolet.
