e. CENTRIC, CALIFORNIA, THURS DAY EVENING,
WILL CELEBRATE OPENING
- Of EXPERIMENT FARM

1t looks as though the people of the
valley would join with interest in the
celebration of the opening of the state
experiment farm at Meloland Saturday
afternoon, when there will be present
number of good speakers, as previ-
ously announced, and for which special
transportation facilities have been
provided.
HOitOn Interurban cars will leave Ell
Centre at and p. m and leave MelO-
land for the return at $40, 4:1O and
$50. A special rate of SO cents for
the round trip has been put in effect
for the day.
The farm, while not yet under entire
cultivation, is well started on the
work which has been undertaken by
Manager Walter Packard, and there
are number of big local problems
to be solved.
One of the most important of these
problems is the solution Of the alfalfa
worm question, and it is thought this
will be Solved by governing the time
for cutting the alfalfa. Last year a
great fatality among the worms al
most wiped them out 1t is thought
that was due to a bacterial disease
among the worms, and it may yet be
found possible to cultivate the disease
This is but one of the big problems
which the scientists at the farm will
endeavor to solve, and it is believed
the farm will prove of immense value,
not simply to this valley, but to all the
southwest.

WISHES TO OPERATE
TRUCKS FROM SAN DIEGO

Whether it is yet possible to oper-
ate freight trucks over the mountains
between San Diego and Imperial val
ley is to be determined The building
of a good highway over the mountains
will undoubtedly in time at least make
it possible, and such a line may be
installed at once.
To thoroughly investigate the mat
ter, Mr.. Mack, who owns six
seven-ton trucks, will make the trip
from San Diego, leaving that city Mon
day, accompanied by quite party of
prominent people of the bay city.
One of the questions to be investi-
gated is whether the business men of
the valley will be disposed to transfer
portion of their business to San Di.

OF trucks being put into service at

FREE USE OF CANAL

WASHINGTON, May 23.-TheDOre-
mus bill, giving American ships en-
gagged in cOstwise trade free use of
the Panama canal, was incorporated
into the Panama canal bill by the
house today on a vote of lat to 1875.
AS the bill stands it is ready for final
passage. American coastal trade ships
will be exempt from tolls, which for
efgn vessels must pay.
The canal bill passed the house by
206 TO 63. 1t carries the provisions
prohibiting railroads from owning or
controlling. directly or indirectly,
steamships competing against their
land lines.
The bill fixes the minimum tolls for
vessels at $1.25 for each registered ton.
The prohibition against railroads own
ing steamships becomes effective July
1, 1914. The interstate commerce COM
mission is given jurisdiction to decide
whether railroads compete with the

great area in which this valley can
sell it's produce, at least on a footing
OF equality with other sections.
1t is expected to get the plant into
thorough working order in time for
the next season and meanwhile to
make arrangements for the growing
of produce to keep the cannery busy
throughout the year, and to this end
a skilled cannery operator has been
engaged to take full charge of the
work.
This project is especially timely,
for there are number of subdivision
projects now in hand, and with the
prospective purchasers able to en-
gage in gardening and have a ready
market for their produce, the estab-
lishment of the cannery will have a
most beneficial influence on the gen.

ACREAGE OF CORN IS
ESTIMATED BY AGENTS

1t has been believed that the farm
ers of the valley were getting far
more than the usual acreage of corn
this year, and the Press has been en-
deavoring to get an idea how much
of an increase there is. A number Of
real estate agents have been asked
this question. and the verdict is that
the acreage OF corn this year is about
three times as great as that of last
year. which looks as though consider
able hay could be shipped to the coast
without danger of a feed shortage In
the fall.
But as an offset to the large acreage
of corn there is the heavy importation
of livestock this season, which has
created local demand far ahead Of
any previous year, and thrifty farm
ers are watching the feed problem
carefully.
This corn crop was necessary to
round out the ten million dollars
worth of produce in the valley this
year. and it apparently will do fully
that.

fed in the hearing of the Porter con-
tempt charges that he saw group of
fifteen men surrounding Moore and
Robbins, Industrialist attorneys, near

says Porter, who is an alleged member

Porter called the msn vile names.

Moore attempted, by calling Presi-

system of intimidation. The court ad-
journed with Spalding testifying.
State Senator Wright, counsel for

toned Spalding regarding the alleged
system. Judge Lewis ruled that the
