CROPS BRING GOOD TIMES.

Crop prospects better in Imperial Valley than they this year. and there is to expect an early return good for the farmer and revival of general bus mess activity.
 Cabbage have received of better than $40 for their product and the yield has been from six to eight Onions being shipped and bringing net returns $50 with indications of rise in the price
 Imperial Valley produces better onions than does other re- gon the crop should bring special prices when the quality becomes known to the market

WHY LAND WAS WITHDRAW WN.

Reasons for withdrawal from entry virtually all reclaimed of Imperial Valley under the provisions of the Reclamation Act given by persons having knowledge of all the facts and that the not nimca to the ies the irrigation and not to be regarded check company engineered the Reclamation Service
 The fact that the withdrawn included land already der the Number Five main and of its aeras seemed to indicate that the Reclamation Service invading the D. Co.'S system and inviting contest but appears that the townships and sections withdrawn described according to the old when the tract outlined and the shifting of lines mile and to the west overlooked The withdrawal does not affect acquired rights of settlers and where appears do the order modified amended protect the equities of bona fde settlers.
 By withdrawing entry land north of the third stand ard parallel and outside the irrigated of aton Sea that below the 150oot contour ne the Government the wildcat location schemes of reckless or ignorant land agents and protects the public from grafter and spectators
 Land agents have taken advantage of the fact that Reca nation Service engineers making surveys and have tised that hgne canal about be built through the and northern parts of the valley thereby inducing many seek locations those regions Believing will be available of land persuaded readily agents for locating them but they cannot make homes in the desert without water and there is possibility of getting water to those lands for The Reclamation only gathering data the feasibility hghne from Laguna Dam It has money with which carry such project and be before Congress provides the funds The Co., lacks stopped definitely all extension work on it's canal system.
 There will be hghline canal either side of valley for long time come settlers who make locations outside of the present irrigated area expectation of being claim the land and make farms disappointment The money they pay land agents showing them choce claims" is than thrown away
 Obviously the simple and effective to stop this bogus location business to withdraw from entry all ceptbe of early reclamation and that followed
 Mr. Hartman to think that the Reclamation Service is hostile to his interests in the valley and trying interfere with tcm but he may be mistaken Eventually irrigation sys- tems of the entire Colorado river region will have zed and readusted to the plans of the Reclamation Service and Imperial Valley will have to be supplied from Laga Dam and the conservation works above that form of the Colorado River project The the Reclamation Service the ran interests to terms and consolidation under the of the government the better for Imperial Val ley and the certain the completion of reclamation all this region.
