Need Better Homes
In Imperial Valley
Says Banks Expert
BY WINFIELD BARKLEY
Ianager, Imperial Valley and San
Diego County Development Bureau,

Diego county l)cNel0pment bureau,
Southern Trust & Commerce Bank
We were on the highway just beyond
Brawley and had made the dip down
to New River. On the bluff in front
of us was a beautiful woven wire fence
supported by heavy green posts. Climb
ing roses were surmounting this fence,
with the red bloom sticking out from
the greenery. The whole ensemble was
so pleasing-such treat to the eye, i'll
country whose entire effort seems to
be spent in agricultural endeaver, that
we slowed our auto to catch Il glimpse
of the mansion which surely must grace
such outward beauty-and we looked
in upon Il cemetery. a
1t is wholly befitting that our de-
parted loved ones should have a beauti-
full home as their final resting place.
But after travelling more than 100
miles today throughout the valley, we
could not but wonder if some of Olr
women7folk were not a little jealous
of those who had achieved a home in
that cemetery.
OF course, we knew that we were in
a developing country and should expect
the primitive, but Imperial Valley has
reached the estate of manhood is more
than 81 years old, and should begin
to replace the shaeks and makeshifts
of childhood. Why some of us, when
we 90 camping on our vacations, have
more comforts than some Imperial
Valley homes.
1t is not alone in the country that
we noted insufficient thought given to
the home surroundings. We stepped in
to imposing stores, stocked with the
greatest variety of up-to-date merehan-
disc and with furniture and fixtures in
keeping; we noted finely appointed of
| fiees; we saw mahogany, oak and mar
| bic, and, at the same time, we knew
| that the women folks of these same
men were supposedly thankful and
happy with combination of rough
| lumber, a dash of wood stain, huge
area of rustling screen and dusty
front yard.
Wonder They Stay i'll Winter
One of the party on today s tour
made the following remark:
81 dom wonder that the women
want to get out of the valley during
the summer months-it s a miracle that
they are willing to stay here in win

HOPE TO ADJUST
COLORADO WATER
DIFFICULTY SOON
Commission Reported to Be
Discussing Principles
For Distribution
Claims of Various States
Not Being Brought Up;
Engineer Talks
United Press Leased Wire

| gSANTE FE, n. NJ, Nov. l5.-Hope
was expressed today that delegates to
the Colorado river commission i'll ses-
sion here will conclude, by the end of
the week, preparations of a pact that
will be acquitable and acceptable to
seven states lying within the basin of
the Colorado river.
The commissioners, however, remain
ed silent as to their deliberations
which are held in executive session.
Adjudication of the waters as an
engineering problem, is held to be
comparatively easy though.
Principles alone, it is believed, have
been under discussion. Claims of sew
eral states have been before the com
mission for several months but have
not been taken up at the present con
ference.
From an unofficial source it was
learned that Colorado desired water
for the irrigation of 100000 acres
while New Mexico wanted water to ir-
rigate 100000 acres. This was the
claim made by the latter state at the
commission s conference in Washington
recently. Engineers who have studied
the situation in New Mexico estimate
that after the water is used for irri-
cation, there is Approximately a 40
per cent of the flow. The state has
10000 square miles of land in the Col
crado river basin but not all of this is
irrigatable.
Says Would Be Menace
American spectators are planning to
annex the Colorado river to Mexico. it
was claimed by George II. Maxwell, cx-
ecutive director of the National Recla-
nation Association. Maxwell, who has
been an observer here during the con
ference, claims that annexation of the
river to Mexico would enable American
spectators to put under cultivation
100000 acres of land in Mexico for
the tilling of which hordes of Asatics
would be imported. This Asiatic men
ace, he declared, would be infinitely
worse than the flood menace which
threatens Arizona and California.
Maxwell IS opinion is that the Boul-
der Canyon dam project, designed to
develop power as well as to afford
protection from floods, may be
stalking horse for American spec
ulators.
Armando Santa Cruz Jr., chief engi-
ncer for Mexico, on the international
boundary commission, declared Max
well S fears for the growth of an Gun
agricultural cancer were without
foundation. Santa Cruz pointed out
that below the California line there
are now 10000 acres in cultivation
from the Colorado river and that in
crease acreage would mean employ
ment of Mexicans, not japanese or
Chinese as MeXico's immigration laws
restrict entry of the latter races in the
republic.

Refusal of the United Socialists to

American Potato Stocks.
A potato census as of March / Is re-
ported by the department of agricul-
ture at Washington, covering potatoes
in the hands of warehOusemen and
farmers in Is states. These states
produced about 70 percent of all the
potatoes grown in this country last
year.
The department finds that on March
l the potato farmers held 73,4S6,00
bushels and the shippers and ware
housemen had 17,460,000 bushels in
stock, making a total of 90.486, 900
bushels 1t is expected that farmers
will sell and ship about 31,000,000
bushels and will retain the balance for
seed and table supplies. In addition
to the supplies shown above are the
millions of bushels held by retail deal
ers in all parts of the country, the
farm production for home use, the
hundreds of cars in transit when the
census was taken and the supplies in
a million family cellars. Taken all
in all there is no potato famine in
sight.
Although potatoes are grown in all
states, at least for home use, only the
Is great producing and shipping states
were included in the census. The
states covered are Maine, New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Nebraska, Montana, Colorado,
