IMPERIAL AND COACHELLA
LAND TITLES UPHELD

Los Angeles, Feb. 10.-Defnlteiy
establishing the soundness of the IL
ties to lands in the Imperial and Goa
cbella valleys. which are now or were
formerly held under grants by the
Southern Pacific Company, the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals yes
terday rendered an opinion in which
the recent findings of Judge b. r.
BIedsoe in the test case brought by
George Eullinwider were upheld.
The decision is of the utmost import
ance as the action brought by Fullin-
wider was a direct attack upon the
validity of title to many thousands of
acres south of Tehachapi. The direct
result of the courts ruling will be to
particularly stimulate development
work in the Imperial Valley and to
give assurance to many land owners
there that no legal attack upon the
land titles can be successfully made.
The litigation was commenced al
most two years ago through the eff
forts of Attorney Edmund Burke. He
took the position that the land grants
to the Southern Pacific carried with
them provision that the acreage, If
resold. must be sold at price CT
$3.50 per acre, holding that grant
lands resold at higher figure were
defective in title. Several hundred
men were interested by the attorney
and a large sum of money was raised
to test the issue in court. The South
ern Pacific Company and other cor
porations held that the original grants
of 1866 did not carry $3.50 per acre
selling price provision.
Upon this point the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals held with
the attorneys representing the South
ern Pacific and against the theory
presented by Attorney Burke. When
the arguments were made in the ties.

ABOUT MIND PUBLICITY

case Burke claimed that the Texas
Pacific grant of 1871 applied here,
but the court held against his conten-
ton.
The suit was first heard in the fed
eral court here before Judge Bledsoe.
At that time Attorney Luther G,
Brown was retained by large num-
Der of interested landowners. The
contestants were represented by At
torneys Burke and j. Mac Love. On
account of the Importance of the is
sue involved the litigation attracted
wide attention generally and was fol-
lowed particularly by residents of the
Imperial and Coachella valleys.
Although both Attorneys Levers
and Brown were confident from the
first that there was no legal merit
in the contentious brought up by the
complainant, George Fullinwider, pro-
gress was hindered in many sections.
Some of the farmers were reluctant
to make improvements because of the
suits and important development
work was delayed by the psychology
cal effect of the contest.
When Jsdge Bledsoe rendered his
decision against the contestants it
was appealed to higher court for
final settlement. The opinion of the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals yesterday was the outcome of
this action. Attorney Brown said last
night:
This decision is of the greatest i'm
portance, as it thoroughly settles the
issues brought up by Attorney Burke.
All those who have purchased lands
which were formerly held by the
Southern Pacific can rest assured that
there is no flaw in the titles and that
the law does not and did not require
that the re-selling price be $3.50 pei
acre"

AT the time the egg Is laid the de.

soon as the temperature drops down
below 20 degrees F. this growth stops
and the embryo goes into resting

the blastoderm, rests on the upper sur.

Immediately surrounding the yolk
extending out at opposite sides toward
the large and small ends OF the egg
Is dense Opaque layer OF albumin

the chalaza as an axis to keep the
blastoderm at the top. The rest OF
the white is more watery and more
transparent and is surrounded by two
rather tough membranes and the shell.
These two membranes separate at the
large end of the egg and form the air
cell which in fresh egg is about the

due to evaporation Of moisture. The
shell being porous permits the passage

Peanuts For Oil
And For Swine
John r. Faln, Professor OF Asronomy,
Georgia State College OF Agriculture.


That there Is now at least limited
opportunity In the production of pea
nuts for oil for those who are not in
a position, to Craze the peanuts Off
with hogs, Is unquestioned. This Will
certain last as long as present mar
ket conditions in oil prevail
If the producer of peanuts can con.
tract ahead for rs cents per bushel o.,
above, he can figure a profit Of some
thing like Is cents per bushel based
On 40 bushels per acre at average
cost Of production. If contracts can
not ReHiade ahead fora definite price,
Wherever, possible, the farmer should
be In a position, to. Craze the nuts off
with hogs, in case the price ofinuts
at harvest time, does not make it,prof-
table to put them on the market.
Estimates for the profitable 'produc,
tion Of pork can be based on 200
pounds Of pork per acre. There. are. u
good many reports Of as much as L.
GEO pounds of pork per- acre on pea
nuts, but 200 pounds can safely be
taken as the minimum II 600 to 800
pounds of pork can be obtained it will
give a larger profit than peanuts at
rs cents sold to, the oil mill.
One OF the main differences between
grazing hogs and selling nuts to the
mill Is the maintenance OF the fert.l-
ity OF the land. This is a most i'm
portant factor and5it should be clear
ly kept in mind that where hay and
nuts are all removed the land will de-
preciate in crop-producing power.
Where the hogs Craze the peanuts the
land should increase in crop-producing
power. - 4 y

AUDITORS REPORT FOR 1915IS READY Alabama Deficit $1, 100000 Greater in 1915 Than
 in 1914

Montgomery, March 17.-(SpeciaL) State Auditor M. c. Allgood late this afternoon received from the printer copies of the 1915 report of the audi tors office. The report shows that Ala bama's deficit at the end of the past fiscal year was approximately s1,1o0,- 900 greater than at the end of the pre- ceding fiscal year.
 The deficit on October 1. 1914, was about SS00,000, whereas on October l., 1915, the deficit was approximately $1,900,000. This large increase over the preceding year was due to the release of a large number of contingent ap- propriations by Governor ONeal Just before he retired from office.
 The report of the auditor is voluminous document, containing sev- eral hundred pages. More space might be given to the figures in the report relating to the states financial conoi- ton were it not for the fact later re- ports on the condition of the treasury have been published from time to time.
