west Southern California has organ
lied branch of the National Irrigation
Association, and is recruiting members
rapidly, mostly from business houses.
Members pledge themselves to- not only
support. the movement, but agreo to urge
their eastern business correspondents to
join the association ar lend it their sup
port. A favorte method of securing the
attention of the eastern business man is
for the western merchant, whenever he
sends a check east ip payment Of a bill
of goods, to write personal letter call
ing attention to western development,
and to the great increase of business
which would follow the adoption of a

The work is being pushed by the Ma
