LOAF AND CONTROL PRODUC.
TION AND DISTRIBUTION.

Washington. Oct. i2.--Early rcgula-
ton OF the baking industry was prom.
ised last night by Food Administra-
tor Hoover.
Plans to control bread production and
distribution already are under consid.
Grafton and will be put into operation
as soon as bread baking experiments
now being conducted I'm several cities
are completed.
Municipal bread dcpots viii be pro-
vided II IL Is found that retailers can.

rangement.
Standard Bread Sought.
The baking industry was left out OF
the general food control to be put into
effect on November I. Before taking
any steps to deal with the industry the
food administration wishes first. to
standardize baking -four: second. to
standardize bread ingredients and third,
TO standardize either the size Of the
loaf or the price.
The bread content will be established
on the basis Of facts disclosed in the
experiments under way. 1t Is hoped
to establish a standard bread contain.
ing the same amount of lard. milk and
other ingredients. Flour. will be stand.
ardized through the cooperation of
millers. --~s ffl t5itE
In further Standardization the food
administration still is in doubt as to
whether it will be best to establish a
definite sized loaf or to establish a def.
mite price with the size varying.
Two Sides 10 Plan.
IL the size OF the loaf is standardized
Mr.. Hoover believes prices can be kept
down through competition, and il the
price on the other hand is stabilized he
believes competition will to some extent
keep the size of the loaf from being
reduced.
If a licensing system is put into eff.
feet IT cannot be made to apply under
the food control act to retailers and the
price will be for bred at the bakery
door. The plan for bread depots will
be put into effect. however, If retail.
ers refuse to cooperate in holding
prices down.

This was the opinion expressed at Fl Centro last week by Supervising Dl- rector Davis of the United States rec amation service, in discussing before he directors of the irrigation district questions relating to possible con nection of the Imperial canal system with the Laguna dam.
 "The engineering problems thaF confront you are not beyond he feasible limit of expense. Your questions are now chiefly diplomatic and international"
 Director Davis is in the Imperla Valley to consult with Dr. ElWood Mead, irrigation engineer and speclaF ist, now in the service of the UnlVer- sitv of California, regarding the CO operative investigation of the cana system undertaken by the fedora government and the university at the 'euuest of the district, the superVls DTS and the farm bureau. MT. Davls 'reely expressed the opinion tha teps should be eaken at once to es ablish a definite understanding pe- tween the United States and Mexico or the maintenance of protective works in Lower California.
 You are now operating under a concession made between a private party, a subsidiary Mexican corpora tion. and the Mexican authorities, a concession that is binding in ettect upon neither party. Only detlnlte agreement between the two govern ,ooptc ic rpaIlV hin0lng"
 At some length Director Davis dls- cussed the question of reservoirs and nroiects on the upper Colorado and its tributaries, expressing the op1nlon that none of the diversions would ma terially affect the lower river. "Mosl of the diversions" he said, are SC high I'D that the quantity of water used is negligible and then is taken out at flood time when the water Is most plentiful" Various projects have been contemplated, but were abandoned on account of the eXces sive cost.
 The reclamation service takes ou water for three projects, only one O. which goes to another divide-the Great Salt Lake Basin. Water iron the others finally finds it's way bacl into the Colorado river basin.

interior department, while in office, recommended an appOrtlonment Of the cost on an acreage basis and prob ably that recommendation would still govern in an apportionment of the cost, according to MT. Davis. To en- able the Imperial Valley to obtain it's water supply from the Laguna dam, some extensive changes would be re quired in the sluicing system.
 May Change Sluicing System.
 'Under the present method of oper ating, the water is shut off from the canal system for one day each week while the sand is sluiced from the up per portion. To prevent discon- tinuance of water service, to a big system like the Imperial Valley, means must be devised, whereby the sluicing process may be accelerated Several ways may be devised to han dle this problem and the director dis cussed some of them in a tentative way. In addition supply of water | to bridge over the period of sluicing may be obtained by widening the cross section of the canal further down, making use of the ravines on ! the west side of the canal as reser- voirS.
 Engineers Grunsky and Anderson 1 of the consulting board, were expected to render a report, but MT Grunsky announced that the formal report would be submitted as soon as com | pleted and the engineers would not make any announcements until that | time.
