PAGE SIX HANFORD DAILY SENTINEL -HANFORD, CALIFORNIA SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1928 (From the Corcoran Journal.) Twenty harvesters are now cutting grain on fourteen ranches in the lake area, according to A. H. Fowler of Cutter Bros. Most of the grain ready for Harvest is barley, yet wheat is now being cut on three or four ranches Within a fortnight, says Mr. Fowler.

fifty harvesters will be in operation in the district. Approximately 85.000 acres of grain will be cut here this season, 20,000 of barley and 65,000 acres of wheat. Mr. Fowler states that a conservative estimate of yield is as follows: Barley. 400.000 sacks, ($700.000 at current prices); wheat, 850,000 sacks, 000 at current prices) Of the wheat, 40,000 acres are in Baart, 20,000 acres in Sonora, with scattered fields of Federation, Bunyip and other varieties.

barley, interest centers on the Atlas variety. especially on the field, now being cut by Roy May of the Progressive Development Company This field is yielding around thirty sacks to the acre, a complete report of which is promised for next week's paper. Cantaloupes Fine The 500 acres of cantaloupes being grown by E. J. Harp and C.

E. Beckett are coming along fine, very fine in fact. The vines are well set with melons, some of them being as large as a goose egg already. The 400 acres of Early Corcoran Hales are expected to fill in the gap between the Imperial Valley and the Turlock crops. Harvesting Will be under way Within a month of five weeks.

The 100 acres of Honey Balls will come on a few weeks later. L. A. Hansen's 120 acres of Klondike watermelons present an almost solid mass of green to the passerby. The 15,000 acres of cotton responded well to the warm weather last week and, in spite of aggravating winds that have been blowing, the prospects are good for a record yield.

Statisticians can readily figure $1,500,000 gross from this acreage at present prices. Last, but extremely important to the agricultural interests of the community, comes the 3,000 acres of alfalfa. The Post-Card. El Rico and other ranches report their second cutting. This alfalfa, with livestock and dairying, means 'the year-round income well as keeping up the fertility of the soil.

CRAFTSMEN ASK AID FOR PROJECT While the tradesmen of the city are a little disappointed in not receiving early replies to their invitations to various service and fraternal tions who were asked to participate in the proposed celebration here Labor Day, President Fred Bennett stated this morning that he believes cooperation will be forthcoming.

Perhaps, Bennett suggested, the organizations solicited do not realize that the committees must be named and the groundwork laid quite early for a state-wide celebration such as that proposed for Hanford. At their meeting last night the tradesmen passed the folowing resolution. which is self-explanatory: Resolution Whereas, in response to our invitations to Lodges, Civic Bodies and others to co-operate with us in holding a Labor Day celebration in Hanford, we have received the names of the appointees of the Board of Trade, Hanford Post No. 3 of the American Legion, Independent Order of Oddfellows and Fraternal Order of Eagles, to whom we are very grateful--four out of forty invitations, hardly enough to fill the offices and committees required; and, Whereas, our affiliated locals are willing to do their utmost, but realize that a spontaneous effort of the whole community is necessary to stage a successful celebration that will be a credit to Hanford, and, Whereas, with this object in view we have asked and received much publicity from out of town journals and many side labor organizations, whom we are acceptances of our invitations from unwilling to disappoint: Now, Therefore, Be it Resolved and it is hereby resolved, that unless the aid of organizations, who do not fear a little work, is forthcoming we shall be forced to abandon our plans and regretfully announce to our brother craftsmen that "Hanford don't know how." (Signed) FRED G. BENNETT, President.
