Editorial Correspondence
Brawley, Cel., March 4: One thinks of the Imperial Valley
as a part of the California desert that has thanks to the All
American Canal been made to blossom as the rose. That Is
true. Vet If there are any roses here we haven't run into them,
tho there are plenty of. other flowers largely those one finds
in Mexico.
One also thinks of the Imperial Valley as a huge outdoor
hothouse, where lettuce matures in January, watermelons in
April and May, and cantaloupes somewhere in between.
Correct again.
But it is far more than that. In fact while we don't care to
blow the local Chamber of Commerce horn, we have decided
after spending nearly a week here, that this valley is probably
one of the richest and most productive sections on the earth's
surface, equal perhaps to If not surpassing the ancient valley
of the Nile. Almost every soil-crop one can think of is produced
here, except the three things that are produced so remarkably in
the Rogue River Valley, pears, applesand tifskeys. Oh yes, and
green corn. (The latter deficiency being another reason we would
not care to be a PERMANENT guest at the Planters Hotel.)
It surely Is a land of milk and honey.
Considerably over a million gallons of milk are marketed
here annually; and over a million pounds of honey; while some
20,000 colonies of bees are proverbially busy hereabouts.
But the most surprising at
duction. This place reminds us of Pendleton or the John Day coun
try, by the number of Stetson hats and light tan gabardine out
fits one sees and the fine tanned, strong, weather-beaten faces
and broad shoulders one sees beneath them.
Here are the figures for 1943
be larger 81,620 sheep, 39,000 hogs, 75,260 cattle, 13,000 dairy
cows, 2,000 horses these are the MARKET figures the totals
sold In the year. Some crop!
But frankly, it Is no Dlace to

But being unarmed and somewhat exhausted hv th rm.

sour and fermented breath, by turning our back and then push
ing him toward his own seat with an elbow-jab now and then
which fortunately he yielded to and did not resent. Otherwise he

(Well it seemed like the start of the trip wa trust B. B., and
M. L. will please note!)
Let us conclude with a drastic condensation of some of our
convivial neighbor's remarks, to-wit:
"You know POP, ' I ain't been wirth a By-God since I left
Tex-iss! Not a By-God! No good at all! And what happened to me
here in El Central? I went to thet bamboo hut and what dye think
they done they stole my watch. Yes sir, stole it! Ain't that in
credible, or is it? (Believe it or not "incredible" WAS the word.)
But you know I hope the man who stole thet watch will make
a million dollars for I tell you Pop he'll need it. Yes he will. I
spent 817.50 for thet watch but it never would keep time. One
mornln' I got so mad I jest thro'd my shirt on the floor and there
was a big crash. It was the watch. I forgot to take her out. They
charged me 86.79 to fix it. Then the handle come off back there
in Waco. Thet cost me $2.50. I am what ye might call a wood
rat; I work in the woods, here, yon and everywhere. But there's
a bit of a pack rat too in me. I like to gather things together and
cherish 'em. But thet watch I am glad to get rid of it anyway.
It never did keep time and it kept me broke. I hope whoever
stole it, maybe one of the gals did, but I think it was one of them
waiters I hope he makes a million dollars, he'll need it!"
