FOOD BODY NOT
To FIX PRICE
ON BARLEY CROP
-W.S.S.---

Farm. Adviser c. E. Sullivan this
morning received the following let
ter from Professor E. H. Crocheron.
state leader of the farm advisers:
San Francisco. June 28.--The new
barley crop will not be handled by
the government, nor will prices to
the producers be fixed or stabilized
by the United States Food Admini-
stration.
This official announcement was
made today by Federal Food Commls-
sioner Ralph p Merritt to correct a
widespread impression among farm
ars that he government would take
over the barley crop. which has led
producers in many sections to hold
their products for prices higher than
have been offered to date.
"The price will be governed solely
on the basis of supply and demand.
Dealers are under regulation and
their profits must be eliminated.
'If farmers do not accept prices
being offered now, conditions later
nay make marketing difficult, al
through the Food Administration does
not desire this statement to be mis-
interpreted as meaning that farmers
should sell at the present time. The
grower must market his product upon
his own responsibility.
reports received at Mr.. Merritt's
office indicate that many barley pro-
ducers expected to receive the prices
naid last year when fictitious value
was placed on barley, because OF in
discriminate purchasing by buyers for
The Allies, which sent prices sky
high. That situation will not be pos
sible this year.

Distric: Officials Today Are
Eagerly Awaiting Word
Fixing Date for Confer

Possible Locations.
...-...N-,S.s.- ...-...

Today il seemed certain that Impe~
rial Valley farmers will this year again
suffer from a water shortage, al
though by quick action it may eo
possible for officials of the irriga-
ton District to prevent serious
shortage.
Officials of the District this after
noon were awaiting telephone mes
sage from Yuma fixing the date for
a conference with a committee from
the Yuma Water Users Association,
the purpose Of which is to reach an
agreement on the location of the weir.
Efforts are being made here to have
the conference either on Monday or
Tuesday of next week.
There are two possible locations for
the weir, it was said today by Attor-
ney Phil D. Swing. He declined to
tell the locations, but he said that one
of them, which is favored by the Yu-
ma people, will require a good deal
more time and much more money. Ii
the Yuma people insist on this ioca-
ton, there is bound to be :. short
age.
If the other location can be ar
ranged, the shortage will be only a
temporary one.
With the best of conditions, there
probably will be a slight shortage.
The river discharge is now approxi-
mately 10000 second-feet. Before
work can be started replacing the weir
the discharge must fall to 10000 feet.
Then by the time the trestles can be
constructed and the railroad for hah.
ding the rock can be built, there will
be period during which the river
will drop very rapidly. With this
prospect in view, officials of the Dis
trict felt today that there is bound
TO be temporary shortage.
Application was made some time
ago through Captain Charles r. Leeds,
War Department engineer, for per.
mission to reconstruct the Weir. The
government has indicated that the
permission will be granted, and little
difficulty is expected there Each year
the trouble with Yuma has come up
and the construction of the weir has
been delayed. 1t is expected this year.
however, that the situation will be
slet without any serious trouble.
The officials OF the District who
will go for the conference include At
torney Phil D. Swing, President Le-
roy Holt and Directors James Ed
munds, f. D. Mcpherrin, C. D. Man
ming and J. S. Nickerso n
All materials and men needed TO
replace the weir are now on the
ground, Engineer C. X. Clarke has
reported. He promises that there will

unless some unforeseen obstacle ap-
