Statistics Tell
Progress of I. V.
Agriculture
From a desk cluttered with papers, letters, memorandum pads and index cards, Robert Hays, secretary of the El Centro Chamber of Commerce, dragged a paper which told facts that represent agricultural progress in the Imperial Valley.
It revealed, for instance, that the valley leads all of southern California in the shipment of certain kinds of melons and vegetables, that in 1938 the valley shipped three-fourths of all the asparagus, beans, cabbage, cantaloupes, carrots, casabas, greens, honeyball melons, mixed vegetables, peas, spinach, honeydews, lettuce, romaine, and watermelons in the southern California area.
California and particularly southern California is famed as the greatest shipper of perishable produce in the United States and the compilation offered by Hays shows the important part Imperial county plays in supplying eastern markets.
In 1930 Imperial county ranked 11th in the United States in the value of its agricultural products.
Progress as demonstrated in Hays' reports indicated that Imperial Valley has advanced closer to the top among the leading areas of America.
