A suggestion Of the enemy propa-
qanda that will be built up on the
appearance of German submarine

day in d message from Mexico. The

tracts calling for 81 per acre could not
be raised, they all had to be placed at
this figure, as long as the contracts
stood.
And because there was no way OF
telling who would take double water
and who would take single, it was
found impossible to include the extra
water in the assessments and this was
handled as a toll charge, the extra
water being charged at $500 per acre
making the charge for double water
SO per acre, the same as in the past.
Therefore, all water right land will be
assessed 81 per acre (for a single
right, payable next December) and
all desiring extra water will pay 81
cash per acre for the extra water, as
heretofore.
! The directors estimate the maii.ten.
ance expense will be about $4,000. Oh
this sum the Highlands and Olmstec
addition will pay about $4,000, extra
water will pay between $4,000 and S..
600 and the balance will be made uT
by assessment. This assessment will
be spread next August and payable
next December.

NOW IS THE TIME TO GET
AFTER THE CUT WORMS
District Horticulurtalist Says That
Farmers Should be on
the Alert

"This is the cutworm season and In
places where they are eating the buds
from the trees and grape vines, the
rancher should get action against 'em
as quickly as possible" says District
Horticulturalist Luke Powell.
Remedy-Poison formula: Take 70
pounds of coarse flaked bran, pound
Paris Green, 2 quarts of molasses and
6 oranges or lemons. Stir the mo-
lasscs into a gallon of water; add the
juice of the fruits and their rinds fine
ly chopped. Stir in the Paris Green
and bran adding enough water to make
into dough dry enough SO it can be
spread.
Place this on the ground Ground the
trees AMI about one inch from the
base, late in the evening. AS soon as
it hardens it will have to be renewed.
The success of this method is large

flavor and some of the Paris Green
on each flake of the bran, making tbs
flakes both attractive and poisonous
to the cutworms; therefore mix thoro-
