Professor Wickson declared that the
Imperial valley offered exceptional op-
portunities for study on account OF
the arid condition of the land and its
quick response TO irrigation.
He said that the conditions of the
land were made more unique on account
of the presence of the SaIton sea, and
that the problem OF drying up this vast
inland area was a great one These
and other matters would be fully in

For the next year the university de-
partment of agriculture viii have an
