why not ask the men for their
poll tax, and use the money in fur

Now accredited solicitors Of the

NO MORE FEDERAL
LOANS IN VALLEY
United States Has Discontinued Max
ing Loans Under the Farm Loan
Act for the Present-Official Re-
port on Irrigation and Drainage in
Valley to BE Made First.

New rulings by the Federal Farm
Loan Board will prevent any addi-
tional loans being made in large irri-
gated projects for the present. This
will include the Imperial Valley, ac-
cording to the letter received from
the Federal Land Bank at Berkeley,
by F. H. Stanley, secretary-treasurer
of the Brawley Farm Loan Associa-
tion, says the Brawley News.
The letter notifies Mr. Stanley and
the board of directors that the Fed
eral Farm Loan Board has decided
to refrain from making loans in large
irrigated districts until special re-
ports have been made by the engineer
of irrigation and drainage, now a
member of the board.
These reports are to be made
wherever drainage conditions at some
time may become a factor John 7,
Whittier, the boards engineer, is eX-
pected shortly at Berkeley, and will
visit the valley Until he has exam
Iined the project and passed favor
ably upon it, no further loans will be
made.
The fact that the Federal Farm
Loan Board will shortly examine the
drainage conditions in the Imperial
Valley is expected to influence the
decision of the stockholders of Wa
ter Company No. 8, who will vote up
on the question of constructing a
drainage system at the annual meet
ing Tuesday.
