CALIFORNIA HAS
OPPORTUNITY TO
GROW FINE WOOL
(By Associated Press)

BERKELEY, Cal, April 2S.-No
state has better opportunity to pro-
duce the worlds best wool than Cali
fornia, according to w. H. Heilman
secretary Of the California Farm Bu-
reau federation. In order to do this
it will be necessary to increase the
farm flocks, raise standards and uni
formly raise such breeds of sheep as
will meet the needs of both the wool
and the mutton markets.
To this end the cooperative wool
selling plan of the federation is being
pushed. The state wool committee is
at present arranging with the Nation
al Wool Warehouse company. Mr.
Heilman said, for the receipt of the
wool, it's storage, insurance, grading
and selling to the eastern mills. The
charge for this will be 8 cents a
pound.

NO LEGAL BAR
TO ROSE As
HOLTv|LLE
DIRECTOR
State Irrigation Laws Say
That Director Must Be
Elected from District but
Not Necessarily Home Di-
vision.

Mark Rose can legally be appoint
ed as director from Holtville to the
Irrigation District board of directors
although his dOmicile is in the Cal
exicO division, or Washington, as the
case may be.
Section 26 of Act 1926, California
irrigation statuts reads as follows:
"a director shall be a resident and
freeholder of the irrigation district
but not necessarily of the division for
which he is elected"
This leaves no doubt but that Mark
can be appointed to serve the Holtville
district. should the supervisors so see
fit and be legally entitled to office.
Whether the board of supervisors
will appoint Mark remains to be seen
as it is known there is spirited oppo-
sition to his appointment among some
members of the board, because Of the
condition which would be created by
his advent on the board.
The fact that it has been said some
of the present directors would refuse
to sit on the board with him and the
necessity for keeping Messrs. Nick
erson and McPherrin on the board for
their ability, is expected to have a
great deal to do with the selection of
the supervisors.
The appointment of Mr.. Rose or
someone else to fill the place of Di-
rector c. ID. Manning, resigned, will in
visors next Monday at their regular
meeting.
