What Imperial Valley Needs
Imperial county needs an assemblyman who is and who has
been staunchly for the Boulder canyon dam and all-American
canal legislation, as well as for the Finney reservation, but who
reserves the right to do his own independent thinking and to
form his own conclusions.
Imperial county needs for its assemblyman a man who is
acquainted with the legislative leaders and who holds the con
fidence of the represntatives at Washington in charge of this
legislation.
Imperial county needs for assemblyman a man who is fami
liar with the problems of business and who, in addition, knows
from pocket book experience what it means when baled alfalfa
sells for SI2 a ton, lettuce for $5O an acre and cantaloupes in the
red, who knows how to figure freight rates on an acreage basis,
and w ho has a working knowledge of tax rates on both farm and'
business property, who is able to gauge the effect of measures
that may be introduced and who is not unsophisticated enough
fo believe that “All is gold that glitters.”
M vron I). \\ itter has been a resident of Imperial valley since
1 ‘>o4. all of that time in the newspaper business. In 1907. he filed
on a desert clai mof 100 acres in the Spruce district. This he de
veloped and still holds, and gives his personal supervision. These
various interests enable him to bring to farm legislation a sympa
thetic \ ■ wpoint and an appreciation of the problems of farmer
and business man, as well as those of tin* worker. ..

THE IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
LEMONS ASSERTS
HIS PROFESSION
HELP TO OFFICE
P. E. Lemons, candidate for coro
ner of Imperial county, has held
that office since October 1, 1923.
when he was appointed by the board
of supervisors, to fill a vneanev.
Since that time he has administ
ered the affirs of the office of cor
oner more efifeiently than they have
ever been before. This is made pos
sible through his profession of un
dertaker. equipment for his business
fitting in admirably for the conduct
of the office of coroner.
A coroner must be on duty 24
hours a day. without salary, the of
fice being on a mileage basis. Calls
come at all hours of the day and
night, from remote as well as from
near parts of the county. The cor
oner must have such equipment that
he can immediately accompany, or
it’ necessary precede the peace offi
cers when summoned out on an ac
cident fatality, which occurs fre
quentlv in this county.
That undertakers are the logical
men fur the office is borne out bv
the records which show that. 27 of
the 70 coroners in the state are un
dertakers. Only four are physicians.
The duties of the office are primar
ily in connection with dead persons.
The time for a physician's services
are past and an undertaker is ah
solidely essential.
Much of the coroner's work is
concerned with violent deaths, nee
cssitating complete cooperation with
the sheriff's office. In order to
avoid delays in such ejiscs. the cor
oner should he located in the county
seat, where he is easily accessible
to the sheriff’s office. Often tin
first news of a tragedy is received
liv the coroner, who communicates
the information to the sheriff’s of
fice.
With B. E. Lemons as coroner
there have been no delays in hand
ling such rases in Imperial county.
Frequently within five mniutes from
receipt of the first information, eor
] oner and sheriff are off on the ease,
1 thereby protecting the rights of tin
people and carrying out the laws of
the state.
Coroner Lemons has been efficient
,in it is work, he has conducted the
"i ffiec at a minimum of expense and
is thoroughly familiar with the work
; involved, including the conducting
'of iuqiiost«r in accordance with tin
daw. His eigiiipment and experience
make him the logical man for the of
fi. c and v.uir support for him at
■ tin A . -t primary is solicited on
; the«e gt iiids. —adv

AMERICAN PEOPLE
LEAD THE WORLD
AS APPLE EATERS
Hy I niteil I‘rcs* l.rnxrcl M ire
\\ As 111 N( IT< )\, A ug. 7. — \ lthnugh
eonsumption of apples in tlit* United
States is less than the proverbial
“apple a day,” averaging about,
three apples a week per capita, the
American people lead the world as
apple eaters, according to (he de
partment of agriculture, which has
been making a comprehensive stmlv
of the production and marketing of!
tipples sold in barrels.
Estimates for the British Isles
average about two apples a week,
and in most countries of continental
Europe the consumption of apples
is comparatively light.
Three states —New York, Michi
gan and Virginia—produce nearly
one half the average commercial
crop of the barrel region. Leading
commercial main crop varieties of
the barreled apple region are Bald
win and Rhode lisiand (ireening in
the north, York Imperial and Wine
! sap in the south, and the Ben Davis
and Jonathan in the west. Leading
tall kinds are Oldenburg, Wealthy
and Mclntosh.
fold storage, in most sections, has
largely superseded common storage
tor long keeping of market apples.
Bometimes over one fourth of the
commercial apple crop is reported in
cold storage at the height of the
reason. Barreled apples comprise
about half the average stock in
cold storage.
App’cs Rank First
The leading- markets for New York
state apples are Boston, Buffalo,
Cincinnati, Cleveland. Indianapolis,
Newark, New York, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, and Providence; Chi
cago and Detroit are ihe chief mar
kets for Michigan apples; Milwau
kee, New Orleans, St. Louis and St.
Paul for Illinois apples; Kansas
City, Memphis, Minneapolis and
Omaha for Missouri apples; and
Birmingham and Washington for
Virginia apples.
Of tin l fruits exported from tiie
Etiited States, apples rank first in
point of value, with total export*
as fresh iiiiir ror tile voar ending
June 80, 1924. of 2,0.12,000 barrels
'and 0,198.000 boxes, valued at over
$23,000,000. The United Kingdom
purchases about three fourths of
our surplus apples, while the larg
est percentage of dried apples goes
to the Netherlands, Germany and
Scandinavian countries.
The increasing proportion of high
grade fruit in the markets is driv
ing out tipples not well grown, well
sorted, and well packed. Only the
product of the well managed com
mercial orchards in sections, with
some advantages of climate, soil and
location seems to have much chance
to survive intense competition.
Complete details of the study have
been published in department bul
letin No. l-tlti-L), ‘‘Marketing Bar
reled Apples,” copies of which may
be obtained, as long as the supply
lasts, upon request to the depart
ment of agriculture, Washington, D.

It is probable that no musical
