EXCESSIVE. USE
Of WATER WORSE
THAN NO WATER
UlaLa Irrigation Expert Talks
on Fundamental Principles of
Farming in Arid Sections.
fBy Associated Press)

VERNON, 3. G., July 27.-Farmers
must govern more carefully the
amount of water they use in irrigation,
DR.. John A. Widtsoe. Salt Lake City,
former president Of the university Of
Utah and authority on irrigation ques-
tiOns, declared in naddress on "EX-
cessive Irrigation" here today before
the Western Irrigation association. (
''Few farmers really understand the
vital and fundamental principles which
are in operation when water is used
by plants or when water passes
through the SOIL" Mr.. Widtsoe de-
clared. "There must be better knowl-
edge among farmers oft general res
li.tlonships existing between plants and
soils and watr. If the farmer can
be made to understand that The guam
tity of water used does not determine
tie quantity of crop produced, much
Of the battle against excessive irri-
cation will have been won.
Greater care must be given to
canals and bitches. When there is eX-
cessive leakage, attempts should be
made to make the canal bottom and
sides, more impervious. Ordinarily
this can be done by the sitting of the
canal and dragging the silt from year
to year. Ultimately as irrigation
grows in Importance, the time will
come when the water will be so valu-
able that bitches will be lined by some
impervious material like cemenr.
"There can be no doubt in the minds
of those who study the subject that
many of the social problems of the
day will be solved by better use of the
areas on the surface of the earth with
limited rainfall. Irrigation will be
the main factor in reclaiming these
areas.
"a healthful, wholesome civilization
always grows up under the irrigation
ditch. 1t is a world need that this
system of civilization shall be made
permanent. that nothing shall be done
now that will make it temporary in it's
character, with all the disastrous It.
suits that follow lack of permanency.
Excessive irrigation is the greatest
menace to the growth of irrigation.
AS every other organism has, irriga-
ton has within itself the power by
the excessive use of water to destroy
itself. You in this new country who
are building from the foundation, and
under modern conditions, system of
irrigation agriculture, should make it
a first consideration that the use of
water must be in accordance with the
most approved methods of recent S"i-
ence and that excessive irrigation
shall never be known"

SOON
Production This Year Prom
ises to Be Larger Than
Ever Before. Brawley
Grower Has Prize Palm.

The valley date crop for this season,
which promises to be the largest yet
produced, will begin to ripen in about
three weeks, and date growers are Low
arranging to get their fruit on the
market. Trees that last year produced
a good yield ae this season loaded with
larger number Of punches and the
appearance Of the fruit gives asslr-
ance that the quality will be Of the
best.
j. B. Dudley, who has been doing
much work during the first of the year
in getting farmers to plant tested date
palms, has met with much success in
the care he has given the many or
chards in this section and in the north
ern end Of teh valley.
Perhaps the most interesting date
tree in the valley, and one which is
abundant proof as to the success Of
the fruit in the valley, is one group on
the ranch of Francis Heiney, ives. of
over $70O worth Of fruit, and the indi-
cations are that the yield this year
will exceed that Of last season by al
least one-third. This is an exceptional
tree, but it shows what can be done
when tested variety is planted and
proper care used.
A large number of trees planted on
ranches south Of town, were carefully
pollenized last spring by Mr.. Durley,
and the experiment has proved so sue
cesswul that several ranches are pian-
ming to plant many more trees next
year.
The successful tree on the HeinCy
ranch is now visited daily by many
tourists and large number Of valley
residents who have become much IN
terested in the growing of date Dalms

NOT READY
FOR SELF
RULE
WOOds-FOrbes Commission
Will Report That Islanders
Are Not Up to Indepen-
dent Government at Pres
ent.

MANILA, July 27.-Immediate in
dependence for the Philippines will not
be the outcome Of the Wood-FOrbeS
commission to the islands.
The emssaries of President Harding
now touring the archipelago to obtain
first hand information of conditions
and report back to the president will
point with pride" to the great strides
made by Filipinos in some lines. but
at the same time they will "view with
alarm" the lack of progress observed
in certain other equally important di-
rections.
The result of the investigation will
be testimony which will warrant Pres
dent Harding recommending to con-
gress to hold onto the Philippines for
some time to come.
Summed up, such is the feeling here.
General Wood is not responsible for
this impression. Neither is ex-Gov.
Forbes. The general is too good a sol
dier, and the former governor general
of the Philippines too experienced a
diplomat to still the insular beans be-
fore they report to their chief.
In autos and on horse, afoot and
afloat, early and late the two men
are working like beavers, digging up
the facts upon which they will base
their report. And they are saying lit
tie of what they think.
But observers who have talked with
American old-timers here, and with
the Filipinos. and who have had ample
opportunity to see and hear much of
what the commission is seeing and
hearing, invariably are led to the con-
ciusion here stated. .a't
Foremost among the factors which
must influence the commission, many
here consider, is the general interna-
tional situation in the Far East.
The Philippines, they insist, cannot
be treated as a separate problem. II
their opinion the future of the islands
is ineXtricably bound no with the fu-
ture of Asia and the Orient generally,
All Americans in the islands are not
retentionists, but there are few really
representative members of the COM
munity who does not think that to turn
the Philippines loose at this jurcture.
without first obtaining showdown
from the great powers with regard to
the Far Eastern situation, would be Il
national disgrace.
Furthermore, the most ardent Pat
rick Henrys among the Filipinos them
selves confes they see no objections to
waiting for their independence until
the present storm clouds roll By.

TOO STRENUOUS
At LOVE MAKING

CHRISTIANIA, NORWAY, July 27
The officers of the Americar bat
tleship squadron which recently paid
a two-weeks' visit to this port were
very popular and were entertained
privately in Norwegian homes but the
leading newspapers of the city eriti-
cised severely the conduct of some of
the sailors while on shore leave.
The squadron was composed of the
Kansas, Michigan, Connecticut. South
Carolina and Minnesota, under COM
mand of Rear Admiral Hughes.
The Christiania newspapers pub
lished several articles protesting be-
cause the American sailors made too
violent love to the Norwegian girls
while riding about the city in taxicabs
asserting that the sailors "squeezed
and hugged them" in public.
One of Norway's prominent clergy
men wrote protest to the After
posten charging that the conduct of
some of the American sailors was "an
insult to the city" and disgrace to
the American nation. He urged Ad-
miral Hughes to put a stop to it. Some
parents sent letters to the newspapers
urging the Norwegian authorities to
protect the Christiania girls from as
sociating with the American sailors.
