Tn the Matter of Investments

In the matter of investments the officers of bank are of great assistance to depositors
 Take for example the recent developments in the Ponzi case. It is safe to say that not one of the thousands of investors in Ponzi's inl- possible scheme consulted a reputable banker before placing the money in the glittering fake
 Had they done so the bankers would have pointed out the impossibility of the scheme and saved the millions that swept away.
 The officers of banking institution are not infallible, but they spend their lives delvng in financial matters, and are therefore equipped to render assistance and give advise to those less we'll equipped to judge investment matters

U. s. RECLAMATION DIRECTOR DAVIS
 STARTS SURVEY

Continued From Front Page)
 made apparent in the meeting by the attitude of the people of the Coachella valley and those of Imperial toward each other, the feeling appearing to be- quite bitter. Why this is so did not develop, but there appears to be division of opinion between the two irrigation districts regarding the Mexican and the proposed all-Amer- ican canals. The Coachella people want the new canal, as it will make possible the bringing in of a large l' territory that cannot be reached by the present system. It also develop ed that there was shortage of water after the flood season passes, and the people on the Mexican side of the line get the first of the water, the Amer ican people who built and own the great system being held up by the land owners on the Lower California side of the border. This condition would be remedied by the all-Ameri- can canal, and it looks as though this canal would be built, whether the big dam has existence or'not. The Amer ican land owners complain bitterly of their treatment not only by the Mex lcan lrrigationists, but by the Mexi- can government. The Americans have to maintain the canal and when they have to take materials into the sister republic they are taxed to the limit, although it is intended for the improvement of Mexican property as we'll as safeguarding their own in- terests.
 Director Davis, in calling the meet ing to order, stated that sufficient funds were now available to take care of the further investigation of the Boulder dam project and told the great gathering of interested people that there was every reason to be- lieve that the project would become a reality. The interests of the south west demanded that this important ir- rigation and power projecct be the first to be considered by congress, and he was of the impression that the Kinkead bill would materially assist in the development not only of the Colorado river basin projects, but that 1t would lead to immediate action. While only $20,O00 was provided for the completion of the surveys by con- gressional appropriation the Imperial Irrigation company came to the aid of the project engineers with $4OOOO more to insure at least the completion of the surveys and an estimate of the cost of the dam. Aid was offered by many of the other irrigation districts along the river and the City of Los Angeles also offered any money nec- essary to provide ample means for the rapid completion of the work.

ATneFlcdn Nlle.
 Unlike the meeting at Los Angeles last May, the people of San Diego were not only interested in the arri- val of visitors, but they extended their hospitality in every way possible. The visitors were dined by the chamber of commerce and those who wished were taken to Tia Juana to view that quaint old Mexican town, where you could get glass of "suds" or take a long shot at the "tiger".
 But the one thing was accomplish ed: The people of the whole south west want this great Colorado river waterway made useful to the people and its destructive ravages controll- ed, and that it will be is a surety. Mohave county, and in fact every sec tion contiguous to it will receive i'm measurable benefits, if not from the distribution of its waters, then from the enormous power that will be created and sold cheaply throughout the whole surrounding territory. Its building will be watched with great interest and it's potentialities will grow as the years go on.
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1920-08-07

chamber of commerce of San Diego also came forward with offers of aid
 The large sums offered by the various interests indicate the wide spread in- terest aroused in the big project.
 The various phases of the power and water distribution were discussed but the sense of the meeting appear ed to be that the reclamation service was capable of handling this feature to the best interests of all the people. f The speakers were enthusiastic over the possibilities of the great impound- ing and power dam and believed that its completion would mark one of the greatest eras in the history of irriga- tion in the southwest. And while some of the men believed that the project could be carried through by private enterprise the better opinion to leave it to the federal government prevailed. The government could smooth out the wrinkles creased by conflicting interests and would be able to arrange the interests of the Mexican states in the water, if any interests were found.
 From the northern part of the basin came assurances that every effort would be put forth to bring the pro- ject to reality, but that each of the states wanted their interests in the Colorado basin safeguarded. They did not want the rights of the lower val leys so fixed that they would forever be debarred from securing water from the river source for projects of their own; and to have this feature safe guarded the people wished to enter protest against any attempt to put the project over through private en- terprise.
 Secretary Lane was unable to be at the meeting, but we are giving an ex- cerpt of the view he takes of this wonderful project:
 "A river that has never been, and can never be the highway of the peo- pie or of their commerce, but a nigh ty stream destined to give life to mil lions of unborn acres, to furnish light and power to the towns, farms, min es, railroads and industries near by, and to draw from all the world those who love beauty and are impressed by grandeur in nature-this is the Col orado River, a unique national asset. We have not yet begun to use it nor to see the things it can do. It some day will be a series of long lakes, tumbling cataracts and high dams. It will lift it's own waters and spread them over lands that will produce whatever man needs for life or indus try.
 q look to see $1OO,OOO,OOO expend- ed on and along the Colorado in the next ten or twenty years, and most of that expenditure will be in evidence 500 years hence in the permanent works that supply water to this

MAKING STRAWBERRIES SURE
Ample Supply Of Moisture Is Essential
During Both Growing and Fruit
ing Seasons.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Strawberries must have an ample
supply OF moisture not only during the
season of bearing fruit but also
throughout the growing season. For
this reason irrigation is necessary To
make the crop reasonably sure in most
sections of the western United States.
AS strawberries have shallow root
system the surface soil must be kept
moist and irrigation must be more fire.
quent than for many plants whose
roots penetrate the soil deeply. The
number of irrigations, however, Will
depend largely on the character and
frequency of the tillage used In con-
serving moisture and on the type and
condition Of the soil. If the burrows
are thoroughly cultivated as soon as
the moisture conditions permit after
each irrigation the number of applica-
lions Of water can he materially re-
duced, MS compared with the number
required when cultivation Is neglected.
In the lighter soils. during the bearing
season, the fields may be irrigated as
often as every four to six days, and
in heavy soils every week or two. Dur
Ing the months when the plants are not
frulting only enough water TO keep
them in a thrifty, growing condition is
necessary.
During the picking period the usual
practice Is to irrigate Immediately
after each picking. When there is dan
ger that the water in the burrows may
not he absorbed before the following
picking the field may he covered by
two applications, alternate burrows
being irrigated in turn.
In many parts of the western states
the soils contain alkali, and alkaline
salts are brought TO the surface in
such quantities as II result of irriga-
ton that the strawberry plants are in
iured and even killed. Usually the
first Indication OF alIali injury Is yell

lowing OF the leaves in the lower spots
In the field. In selecting site for
strawberry field places where the soils
are known to contain alkali should be
avoided
Another limiting factor in growing
Strawberries In some localities in the
West are .nematodes. parasite also
known as eelworms and gallworms.
Their effect, which is usually manifest
first on The roots, is commonly called
root knot. because of the knotlike en-
largements they produce. Nematodes
occur widely In soils where the win
ter climate is so mild that the ground
rarely freezes more than few inches
deep. or does not freeze at all. Straw
berries should not be planted in soil
known To be infested with nematodes.
and plants should not be used which
have been grown in infested areas.
