Assembly Names Twelve
County Farm Centers

The twelve farm centers each OF
Which will be a unit in the organiza-
ton of the County Farm Bureau were
fixed yesterday by the general COM
mittee of the Agricultural Assembly
at meeting in Ell Centric.
The Assembly committee met and
reviewed the work to date and de-
cided to carry on it's activities under
the plan recommended by the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the University of California for the
organization of the County Farm Bu-
reau.
The Farm Bureau will be managed
bv a board of directors chosen from
each of the IL farm centers. Walter
,E. Packard, director of program for
the late assembly, submitted a ten-
tative schedule of the meetings, which
was approved, and the farm centers
as districted were also approved. The
first meeting will be in the Verde
school house on Wednesday, February
2, beginning at o'clock The other
dates will be announced Monday.
At each meeting qualified speak
ers will discuss problems confronting
Imperial Valley press., 1916-01-29

the valley farmer, particularly the
dairyman and hog raiser. At the same
time director from the district will
<be chosen to represent it on the board
of directors for the Farm Bureau.
The Farm Bureau plan provides for
a farm center, meeting once each
month, which is attended by the coun-
ty farm adviser, and meeting of the
board of directors of the bureau once
month also, at which time matters
pertaining to the farm, the farmer
and farm life will be considered.
1t is expected that the Board of
Supervisors will provide office space
for the Farm Bureau. Members of
the board, four of whom were in at
tendance at the Assembly in Braw-
ley, have already shown a, spirit of
cooperation with the farm organiza-
ton. AT recent meeting they vot-
ed unanimously to appropriate the
money necessary for the expenses of
farm adviser, the salary of whom
is paid by the state and federal gov
ernment jointly. Supervisor Beal,
chairman of the board, acting on
suggestion contained in one of the
Assembly speeches, has started
movement to import some thorough
bred bulls which may become avail
able to thefarmers of the county up
on payment of small fee, the object
being to raise the standard of dairy
stock.
In naming the farm centers the aim
has been to select point most CEN
it, but if the meetings another point
is desired for the permanent center
the wishes of the district will be fol-
lowed. According to the committee,
the farmer may attend the meeting
easiest of access to him. The school
districts included in the centers are.
in general way, as follows:
Verde School House-Bonita, AL
amo.
East Side School House-H Holtville,
Central Highline, Sunset Springs.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Wilson, Bry-
an, Roosevelt and McCall-all candi-
dates for the presidency in the 1916
election. What would be the out
come?
At the last election there were
E, leading candidates. In the coming
election it is beginning to look as if
there might be four. That Bryan in
tends to put pacificism, prohibition
and the one-term plank squarely up
to the Democratic convention is grow
ing more evident every day. The feud
between Bryan and Wilson is increas-
ing in bitterness and the breach is
widening. In Congress Bryan has
already spoked the wheels of gthe
presidents preparedness program land
in the next convention his friendsI say
he can prove an equal obstructive Mi
nority. 1t requires two-thirds of the
delegates in Democratic convention
to name the candidate. If Bryan in
sists on his present court Democrats
are likely to see bolt similar to the
Progressive split A years ago. In that
case the Bryan following could name
him as the Prohibition party candi-
date.
On the Republican side the har-
mony movement is not at all certain
to succeed. After talking with Reed
Smoot, I am inclined to believe the
little group Of Standpart Republicans
who will control the convention are
unalterably opposed to Roosevelt. The
The Progressive party leaders, like
Perkins, on the other hand, are not
favorable toward any compromises.
They certainly would oppose any such
compromise as Burton, Weeks or Nc
Call. There is a growing movement
for Mccall in the ranks of the Regu-
| lar Republicans. Mccall is an fideal
reactionary. He was elected, however,
as governor of Massachusetts over
Walsh in the recent election because
he had the support of Bird, leading
the Progressives. 1t was the Progress
sive vote, plus the regular Standpat
Republican vote which enabled Nc
Call to win. The fact that the ISSUE
was local and religious one has been
CLOSED over and would not be en-
phasized for national purposes. For
presidential purposes Mccall is boost
ed as the man who can get both Reg
ular and Progressive support.
Roosevelts' followers will not ac-
cept Mccall. They will undoubtedly
go ahead at Chicago and nominate
Roosevelt and unless the Republicans
do the sam ethere will be a repetition
of the party division of four years
ago. Thus the prospect is presented
for a four-headed fight. In such a
race it is hard to predict the outcome.

The total vote cast four years ago
was 15,036,542. OF these approxi-
mately one million were socialist.
Wilson got 6,293,019; Roosevelt,
4,119,5O7; Taft, 3,4,4,956; Chafin,
Pronibitionist, 207,928. On regular
forln Bryan would subtract enough
votes from Wilson to defeat the lat

Roosevelt and Mccall. 1t is impos-
