E. 5. ROAD WORK POST.
 PONED ACCT. OF WAR

Albuquerque, N. M. May 1O: District Forester Redington has decided to postpone for brief time the road construction work planned on the Salt Riv- CT Pleasant Valley Road on the Tonto National Forest and on the Winslow-Long Valley Road on the Coconino National For est in Arizona. The Board of Supervisors of Gila County are agreeable to the post-ponement of the first project.
 The action of the District Forester is based on the belief, obtained thru reliable sources of information, that a large supply of labor above the nor nal will be needed in planting and harvesting of agricultural crops and therefore the post ponement of road work on pro- jects that do not as yet consti- ute important links in the road transportation system of Ari- zona and are not of military value, will free about 200 men for agricultural work; also many of the men employed would probably be subject to war service under the selective draft system.
 The District Forester desires it to be made clear that the postponement of road work is temporary and just as soon as the labor situation has clarified the work on the projects will be actively taken up.

Meat Injurious
to the Kidneys
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts il
Back Hurts or Bladder
BOtherS

We are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood and poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy and full of sediment, or the
bladder is irritable, obliging you to
seek relief during the night; when you
have severe headaches, nervous and
dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stom-
ach or rheumatism in bad weather, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take tablespoon
full in a glass of water before break
fast each morning and in a few days
your kidneys will act fine. This IA
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys, to neutralize the acids in
urine so it is no longer source of
irritation, thus ending urinary and
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink and nobody can
make mistake by taking little oc-
easionally to keep the kidneys clean
md active.

In January, in order to enable the
farmer to more easily obtain finan-
cial aid, five farm loan associations
were formed in five different sections
of the Valley, namely: Holtville, Mes
quite Lake, Seeley, Westmoreland and
Calipatria, and some $180,000 has
been loaned to the farmers in this
manner.
On February 10 the annual assem-
bly, was held with an attendance of
more than 600 people. An interesting
program covering most important ag-
ricultural problems was given, and
several prominent speakers were
listened to with interest, including DIR.
Elwood Mead, Professor Walter E..
Packard, Professor r. H. Forbes of
the University Of Arizona and c. E.
Anderson.
During March the Imperial Valley
Pig Clubs contest was brought to a
successful termination. The exhibi-
ton was given at Brawley Forty
five boys were in the contest, each
showing two pigs fed through los
days. Professor True judged the hogs
for their type. The show closed with
an auction, where prices ranged from
II cents for the feeder kind to 15R
cents for the best finished hogs. Three
pens sold at still higher price for
breeding purposes. There was an es-
timated attendance of 900 people. Out
of fifty contestants starting the con-
test, as finished, hauling their pigs
an average distance of 20 miles to the
show. The first prize in all the clubs
was trip to Davis. All contestants
showed a profit.
Much time was spent trying to ar
range a satisfactory solution of labor
needs in the Valley. A conference of

growers should give 80 cents per bale
Of cotton and 10 cents per ton of corn,
to be used in bringing in labor; fur
thermore, that an effort be made to
have the six agencies handling these
crops assess this out of each bale of
cotton and ton of corn delivered. The
growers agreed to this plan, and five
of the six agencies handling the crop
refused to do so. Finally the matter
was placed in the hands of a county
labor agent, who has been handling
the situation up to the present time.
Because Of evidences of coming
water shortage, a campaign was
waged to influence the farmers to store
as much water in their soils as pos
sible in preparation for the coming
drouth.
A ter-silage-crops demonstration
was carried on, and the following
seeds were placed in the hands of the
farmers:
10 pounds of honey sorghum.
1000 pounds of Mexican June corn.
400 pounds of Texas seeded ribbon
cane.
400 pounds of sumac, or red top
cane.
Some 46 farmers carried out these
Experiments. A water shortage and
windstorms eliminated some, but every
farmer was checked up on his re-
suits. Seven of the different plots
were personally weighed up by the
farm adviser. A small plot of aver
age growth was taken and weighed
and the yield of an acre was COM
ruted by comparing the area of the
plot to that of an acre. The following
yields were obtained:
Tons
Plot. to Acre.
No. Texas seeded ribbon cane 1850
No. 2 Honey sorghum .......... 1850
No. 8 Texas seeded ribbon cane .36.42
No. Honey sorghum 1854
No. Texas and honey, mixed. .31.O4
No. 6 Texas seeded ribbon cane .29.90
No. Mexican June corn ..... .1l.5O
Before this time, fifteen tons was
considered a good yield for silage
crop. This shows that three times as
much silage can be grown to the acre
as was formerly grown, of as good
quality, by growing the proper crop.

Mr.. Mason said:
"There are probably few, if any,
occupations which young women
