KEEP A PIC" IS
NEW SLOGAN OF
FARM BUREAU
Movement to Increase the Pork Pro-
ductiOn in the Valley Begun by the
Farm Bureau-TwO Pigs or a
Brood Sow Should Be Kept on
Every Farm in the Irrigated Re-
gion.

The Farm Bureau has, committed it.
self for a campaign for two pigs on
every farm in Imperial Valley. The
npmber Of pigs in the county is de-
creasing, IN the face of a greatly in
creased demand for pork production.
and in order to meet the situation
which will inevitably arise the pro-
cram of keeping brood SOW or two
pigs on every farm has been pro-
posed.
This project is in the nature of a
statewide campaign which is being
taken up in every Farm Bureau in
California. Already thirty-six coun-
ties have expressed their willingness
20 back the movement, the slogan be-
ng "a Pig on Every Farm"
The plan proposed is that every
Farm Bureau member in the county
be interviewed regarding the cam
oaign and urged to join the ranks of
those who are following the program.
Imperial county is the largest pork
producing county in California, and
project of this kind should take we'll.
If every Farm Bureau member in the
county keeps brood SOW, and raises
the litter, the number of pigs pro-
duced in the county would be in
erased by several thousand, which
would be no mean addition to the
pork production.
Committees will be appointed in
each Farm Bureau center and will be
furnished with the names OF the mem
bers of the Farm Bureau, and it will
be the duty of these committees to
interview each member, and report to
the Farm Adviser, who will see that
the pigs are furnished. The reports
from these committees will be made
within a week after the campaign is
launched, sc that the work will be
completed quickly and not be dragged
out too .ong.

Huns Losing 100000 Daily.

Washington, March 26-M Members of
the Allied military missions said to-
Cay that IN the nature of the fighting
on the Yves: front the Germans must
be losing at least 100000 men day.
They made this deduction from the
German 3lan of massed attacks, the
rumber of troops they are employing
and the strength of the Allied resis-
tance.
The Allied losses, it was declared,
would be Car less than those of the
Germans, because they are fighting on
the defensive.

GERMAN SPY SUSPECT
TAKEN At CALEX|CO

Kurt Emil Treffurt, aged 26, who
claimed to be naturalized German
from Chicago, and who exhibited a
Chicago registration card, was caught
by the sentry at the water tank near
Calexico while attempting 10 get over
the border last night. He was informed
at Camp Beacon, and the officers
think they have made a good catch.
Treffurt, if his story is true, is at
least Stacker. But the fact that he
had $500 in an express money order
and 500 in gold looked suspicious. His
suitcase, left at the San Diego resr
taurant in I'll Centre, has been seized
by the United States authorities.

Work of Leroy Holt and

to Be Bearing Fruit-TO
Give Yuma Priority to
100 Feet of Water.

Imperial Irrigation District, af-
ter all, is to get a contract from
the Interior Department for a di-
version from the Laguna dam,
which will probably be approved

A telegraphic message was re-
ceived by the directors of the Dis
trict yesterday from President Le-
roy Holt and Attorney Phil Swing.
which was as follows:
''Redrafting contract approved
by Davis much more favorable to
District"
Directors take this to mean that
Imperial has won it's contention
regarding priority of rights to
Yuma and regarding oower, and
that Messrs. Holt and Swing will
return with a contract which will
prove satisfactory.
1t is believed, Judging from pre-
vious correspondence, that Mr..
Davis has yielded to the cOnten-
ton of Imperial Irrigation Dis.
trict that Yuma should be given
priority only to 17Oc secOnd-feet

French Front, Monday March 25.-Entre confidence
regns that the Germans last trump in the world battle
will be -trumped at the proper moment There are
signs today that the terrific attack in which apparently
a million Germans participating, is being sackened
The Allies line seems firmer Military opinion generally
is that the first phase of the battle gives indication of
what the outcome will be. Nevertheless the Allies are
awaiting developments without anxiety.
The German divisions which began what was evident
v intended to be an irresistible forward movement have
been so cut up that they have been replaced by fresh for
nations 1t is these divisions which have been checked at
positions which it forseseen by the Allied generals
that a stand would be made The ground which the
firing has taken place possesses small tactical value but it
permitted the Allies to retire in perfect order.
