SYSTEM Being
PLANNED FOR
SIGNATURES

Revised lists of names of stockhold-
els are being forwarded to the vari-
Jus mutual water companies by the
Irrigation District in furthering the
plan of obtaining signatures to the
bond petition. Clerks at the office of
the district, under the direction of
business Manager c. E. Paris, have
checked over the signatures to the
petitions returned by the water COM
psnies and find many stockholders
who have not yet signed the petition.
Efforts are being made by the mu-
tual companies to bring the bond plan
to the attention of each 'stockholder
in order to hasten the date for the
calling of the election, when the elec-
tors will be given opportunity to vote
on the qL stion of issuing bonds to
the amount of $2,50O,0O0 for neces-
sary improvements to the irrigation
system.
The Irrigation District officials are
OF satisfied with the lack of inter-
est exhibited by resident property
owners of the valley in the proposed
bond issue. Copies of the petition are
accessible at all banks, water COM
pany offices and leading business
houses in the valley. Each additional
signature obtained helps to hasten the
calling of the pelection and permits
the carrying out of the improvements
which are considered by the consult
ing engineers of vital interest to wa
ter users of the valley. Solicitors are
making progress in circulating the
retition, meeting no refusals when
the petition is presented to the real
estate owners. 1t is important that
those who sign the petition subscribe
their names as they appear on the lr-
rigation District assessment roll in
order to make the name valid one
in counting the total required by law.

COW TESTING RECORD
INVALUABLE TO BUYER

Persons buying cows which have
been advertised as tested by the COW
testing department should always de-
mand COW testing book. Sales have
been recently conducted in the Valley
in which the cows were advertised as
te sted by the Cow Testing department
when this was not the fact. The Farm
Bureau does not advise persons buy
ing dairy cows to put too much value
on a single test. Such test is apt
to be misleading, as it in no way in
dicates the persistency of milk in the
cow and is not reliable guide as to
what the cow will do over a whole lac
tAtion period.
