ROSE SENDS LONG TEL
EGRAM OF PROTEST
TO PEOPLE OF VAL
LEY REGARDING Ne
GOTIATlONS.
1t Is Evident That the I'M
perial-Laguna Water Co.
and District Are At Log
gerheads in Parley With
Interior Department.

First news of the progress of nego-
tiations with the Interior Department
for connection for Imperial Irriga-
ton District with the Laguna dam
came yesterday in long telegram
to Secretary Berry of the Imperial
Laguna Water Company, from Mark
Rose, who is in Washington.
1t appears from the telegram that
the Mark Rose company is being given
little consideration in the parley be-
tween the District and Director Davis
of the Reclamation Service. The tele-
gram is herewith reproduced:
Washington, Feb. &c. M.
Berry, Secretary Imperial-Lagu-
ma Water Co., Ell Centric, Cal: At
hearing today with Department
of the Interior there was present
ed by Davis proposed paragraph
drafted by Grunsky and himself
for insertion in contract between
the Irrigation District and the
government, which, if adopted,
would virtually turn over all pow
er possibilities of an all-American
canal to the government, also all
power possibilities in connection
with a connection with our pres
ent heading and Laguna dam,

ton on the part of the Yuma
people or the government. This is
virtually giving to the govern
ment power possibilities which
lars and which would yield an
are worth many millions of dol
annual revenue to the District, if
retained by it, of more than
half million dollars, and which
rightfully belongs to it and to
which the Yuma people have alb
s0lutely no claim whatsoever.
Holt made some objection to this
clause, but there was no objection
raised by Grunsky. | raised Wig
OrOus objection and believe that
the people of the Valley should
immediately file protests with
their delegation and the Secretary
of the Interior against inclusion
in any contract with the District

WARNS GROWERS
AGAINST YUMA
COT TO NSEE D
L. S. Department of Agriculture Is
sues Statement From Washington,
Advising Imperial and San Joaquin
Cotton Growers Not to Plant Any
Egyptian Seed Except the Pima.

Washington, Feb. 25.-It has been
reported that seed of an inferior va
riety of Egyptian cotton is being Of
fered for sale in the Imperial and
San Joaquin valleys of California un-
der the name of Pima. In this con-
nection, the United States Department
of Agriculture states that the only
stock of seed which can be relied upon
as bein gtrue Pima seed has been pro-
duced by an association of farmers in
the Salt River Valley, Arizona, known
as the Tempe Cotton Exchange The
seed produced in 1917 by this associ-
alton, cooperating with the Depart.
ment of Agriculture, is being distrib-
uted, for planting in Arizona and Cal
ifornia, under specific contract, at
oil mill prices plus the cost of hand
ling. The greater part of the Egyp-
tian cotton acreage in the Salt River
Valley, and the entire acreage in all
other localities in 1917, was of the
short-stapled, less uniform and less
productive Yuma variety. Farmers
who expect to plant Egyptian cotton
this year would, therefore, do we'll
to assure themselves that the seed
which is offered them as pima" is
really of that variety and not the in
ferior Yuma seed.

HOW TO GROW
VEGETABLES HERE
Ten Thousand Club Committee Out
lines Methods of Planting and Cul-
ture for Vegetables in Imperial
Valley-Ail Should Plant Back
Yard Garden Now.

The Garden committee of the Ten
Thousand Club has received from the
United States Department of Agri-
culture bulletin telling the home
gardener how to grow the various
vegetables in the home garden. The
bulletin has been revised to meet the
conditions existing in this locality and
is as follows:
How TO Grow Beets.
The red garden beet may be grown
in any soil and may be planted in
succession at intervals of about two
weeks from September to late spring.
Sow the seed one inch deep in we'll
prepared moist soil, either broadcast
on the ridge cr in a row on ither
edge of the ridge. The usual custom
is to SOW the seed somewhat closer
together than the beets are desired
and, after they are up, to thin them
from time to time, using the ones
removed for greens, until the beets
are finally some three or four inches
apart in the rows. Beets should be
used before they exceed diameter of
2 inches, as the young beets of mod
crate size are of much better quail
ity than those allowed to make 2
greater growth. Beets should be
ready for use in ten weeks and should
continue in edible condition for an
other ten weeks. If too old for ta-
BILE use, they make an excellent poul-
try feed
How to Grow Radishes.
In order to have mild, crisp, tender
radishes, plant often, every week or
ten days. Plant in rows or broadcast
on ridges and with proper care you
will bea eating radishes in three
weeks.

GENTLEMEN COMPLAIN
 OF LACK OF PUNCHERS

CEl[-a
 FL PASO. Texas, March 9. - War and the moving pictures have depict ed the ranks of cowboys to round up, cut out and herd catle.
 w. L. Amonett, secretary of the Pan handle Southwestern StOckmen's as sociation, says the cattlemen are all complaining because of a scarcity of labor cn the cattle ranches. The army has drawn heavily on the ranches for men. especially the cavalry. The draft took many more while the moving pie ture companies have commandeered other cowboys to make the western films.
 This has led to the older cattlemen returning to the saddle for work on the range to take the place of the young men who have gone.
