Waite's Report

According to the monthly report of
County Horticulture Commissioner
Waite, presented to the board of su-
pervisors yesterday, one of two emf
grant cars used by families coming
into the Imperial valley from Texas
points was thoroughly cleaned and
sent to Oakland for fumigation. 1t was
feared that among the effects of the
family in the car harmful cotton in
sects may have been harbored. The
refuse from both cars was burned.
A permit has been granted by the
State Commissioner of Horticulture
under Amendment Order No. 2, to
bring in four thousand tons Of cotton
seed from Yuma, to be crushed at a
local mill. A permit has been granted
under Amendment Order No. l., to
bring in one hundred tons of Egyptian
cotton seed from Tempe, Arizona. One
car of thirty-six tons has already been
admitted. There is considerable inter-
est in the planting of Egyptian Pima
cotton for the season and orders are
coming in very fast at the Long Sta
pie Exchange.
Urge Trial of Pima Cotton
1t is advised by this department
that cotton farmers try at least a
small acreage of Pima Egyptian cot
ton. Arrangements are made to have
the seed delinted in order to prevent
any johnson grass from clinging to
the cotton seed which might be
planted.
Mr.. w. M. Davidson, Entomologist
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, made the County visit
in the interest of lady birds in con-
nection with the control Of aphis on
grains and winter truck crops. In con-
junction with the State Insectary, Mr..
Davidson will devote considerable time
in working out the life history of
these insects as they exist in the val
ley, as we'll as conducting several ex-
periments to increase the number of
lady birds for distribution among the
farmers.
Put Lady Birds in Storage
1t is the intention to put some lady
birds in cold storage here instead Of
at the State Insectary in order to
avoid the great losses if possible and
also to have them here when needed.
1t is expected that these insects will
be distributed to all grain growers
whose fields are infested with aphis.
In order to assist the government and
state the Horticultural Commission
ers have been appointed Temporary
Inspectors, of the Bureau of Foods
and Drugs, to ascertain the amount of
concentrated food stuff for man or

DAY
Imperial Valley press., 1918-01-09

Despite the Kaiser-like at
tempts of several of the COM
mitteemen to suppress all news
of what the trainers of the tenta-
tive Laguna connection contract
are doing, thus causing friction
with the people OF the valley,
broad minded men in session with
the district directors are today
finishing the draft of a cOmprO-
mise contract which will mean
much to the valley.
Of course, the men who were
the most blatant regarding a GEN.
sorship talked the loudest about
the plans of the contract trainers
when they got home, thus making
public the news of the meeting.
Although the deliberations of
the general committee will not be
finished today, in all probability,
decisions on the chief points at is
sue have been made, and are as
follows:
1. The Valley is, according to
the tentative contract, to yield to
the priority of the Yuma project
to 1900 feet of water
2. The Imperial Irrigation dis
trict is to join with Mark Rose
in the construction of canal from
the Syphon drop, along the Rose
right-of- f-way on a line of an all
American canal to a connection
with the present system, and in
the enlargement of the. Laguna
Dam.
3. The committee favOrs the
construction of an all-American
canal, and provisions for its con-
structiOn to follow later are made.
4. The Imperial Laguna Water
Co.'s share in the enlargement of
the Laguna dam and connecting
canal costs is to be 100000.
5. The United States is to de-
termine the status of the Mexican

Never before has there been such =
concerted and enthusiastic enlistment
of young women in this profession,
one OF the oldest and proudest open to
girls of high ideals and strong minds
and bodies.
These young women enlist under the
Inspiration of patriotism. and of the
true woman's desire for national and
social service. Many of them are not
perfectly clear as to the actual duties
and experiences which confront the
student nurse, and many thousands
more might enlist If there were a bet
ter understanding of just what nurses
training involves.
To enlist as q student nurse either
in civilian or army schools of nursing
a girl must be between the ages OF
nineteen and thirty-fve.
She must be either unmarried or a
widow.
She must be intelligent, of good d
ucation (most schools require at least
one year of high school work. n OF
sound health and morals.
In no school Is the training course
less than two years.. nor more than
three.
In practically every school the stu
dent gets her board. lodging. and tut
ton free, and in most cases-receives
also a small salary, ranging from SO to
SIS a month to W the cost of books
and uniforms. Where no salary is
paid books and uniforms are furn-
ished.
The student nurse will be on duty
from six to eight hours a day. de-
pending ON the school where b Is
enrolled. She will have daily recrea-
ton periods. and usually. a months
vacation each year.
In case of illness h student nurse
receives the best of care without
charge.

portunity for recreation and pleasure.

SENSATION CAUSED IN

Would Prostitute Intelligence
to Believe Step Taken by Boil

Delegate Says.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE report that
the rehabilitation of Russian forces
had been ordered on all fronts, caused
a sensation today at the all-Russian
convention in progress here. Officers
of the convention expressed the opin-
ion that Germany had sent out the
news as a ruse.
ut would be a prostitution of intel
ligence to believe that the bolsheviki,
even with all their stupidity. would
be so foolish" Voldemar T. Kruglak,
the secretary, said. "The army has
been their main help. Should 1t be
entirely dismissed there would be no
reason why the forces once under
Kerensky should not retake Russia"
The selective service act was at
tackled and defended by speakers to-
day. the discussion being participated
in by bolshevik followers who had
gained entrance to the galleries. A
policeman was forced to use his club
to quell the disorder.
