CHIEF FOR STATE
IS DIRT FARM Err
\. c.. Hardison, Engineer
Rancher Is Elected to
Bureau Presidency

The directors of the California Farm
Bureau Federation held their annual
meeting at the University of Califor-
MIA, November and 3. The meeting
was characterized as being the most
constructive and enthusiastic meeting
ever held in the history of the fede-
ration.
Most of the first day was consumed
by q few short talks by Dean Hunt
of the college of agriculture, DIR. Ell
wood Mead, professor of rural institu-
tions, and p. II. Crochereon, professor
Of agricultural extension. Following
these talks were the reports Of the
various officers of the. organization,
and reports of the various counties.
During the afternoon, the annual cleo
ton took pIcae, which resulted in
the election of 4. G. Hardison, Santa
Paula, Ventura county, as president;
H. W. Wrightson, Fowler, Fresno eoun-
ty, vice president; and Y. c. Bryant,
Berkeley, was retained as secretary
treasurer.
Mr.. Hardison was born and raised
on q farm at Caribou, Aroostook coun-
tv, Maine, where he received his
early training in the practices of agri-
culture. He was educated III the com
mon schools of Maine, and in 1890
graduated from the University of
Maine in civil engineering course.
This same year he came to Ventura
county, California, where he has been
| located ever since. He Immediately
took up the practice Of civil engineer
! ing and a year later, in 1891, was one
of the seven original ineorporators of
the famous Limoneira Company, which
is now the largest lemon producing
| grove in the world. Mr.. Hardison has
| been actively connected with and di-
rector of the company ever since its
incorporation.

GREAT DRAINAGE PROJECT WHICH

the system draining the northeastern

Prof. Weir TO Tell
Kind OF DRAINAGE
Needed for Soils

Recent investigations have indicated
.co,+ain desirable changes in the meth
DDS of irrigating alfalfa in Imperial
Valley, which, if put into practice
should materially increase yields. II
has been shown that soil texture makes
a big difference in the methods of ir-
rigation TO be practiced, consequently
a study of individual soil types should
be made by each farmer and his r-
rgating done accordingly.
4 general survey of moisture cor
ditions in valley soils shows q wide
variation in depth Of penetration. as
might naturally be expected. The
sandy soils arc commonly over irrigated
because of the fact that so much water
has 20 be put on 10 get the entire
length of the border wet The great
danger from ovcr-irrigation on these
porous soils is the formation Of a wat
cr table, which, when il comes close
to the surface may do considerable
damage.
On thc other hand where alfalfa i,

The head of irrigation water runs
through too quickly and doesn't wet
the subsoil enough TO produce healthy
and deep rooted plant.
These are only some of the things
which will be discussed by Prof. Walt

three meetings arranged by the Agri
cultural eXtention service of Imperial

alkali land will be the people who are
enVied. Thus does the Almighty pro
vide His compcnsations.
As a rule the drainage canals are
built in two bites. Carberrv and Muir
ply insist that everything shall work
at IFS maximum efficiency. No round
plugs in square holes. The first cut is
made by light service Marion
drcdgc which cXcavates down to the
4, point where it ceases to work econo-
mically, piling up the dirt on one side
of the canal TO be later graded into
n road for maintenance purposes. Then
follows the heavy service Bucvrus
dredge which puts the ditch down to
grade, piles the remainder of the dirt
on the other side of the ditch and fin
ishes the job. The Marion works for
the most part in dry ground, except
through the springs which find their
sources in the reservoirs of alkali water
causing all the mischief.
No Bond Money Spent
Drainage work to the present mo-
ment has been done without touching
one cent of the bond money. It has all
como ont of the $250,0O0 raised by
taxation last year for drainage pur
poses. What has been done represents
a big beginning on the work and will
make it possible for available funds to
60 inst so much farther toward com
prehensive drainage job.
All of this costs money. Your mite
and mine are east into the pot out of
which this huge undertaking is being
financed. IT pulls mighty hard some
times, almost to the point of putting us
supperless to bed; but at that it is all
right. We are doing something and
"in due season we. shall reap if we
faint not. = IF this were not being
done, then there would be something to
worry about, for the country would be
on its way to the bow-wows.
But all this is constructive. We are
building. We are creating new wealth
which will find its way to the assess
ment rolls and help us to bear the
burden. 1t may even gather momentum
so rapidly, both in new values and in
increased production, that there win
be no burden at all. All of this, how
ever, only upon the condition that we
stick it out The fellow who runs
away will lose. The one who stays WI

THE ROAD BOND MUDDLE.

Byhding out to prevent the bill authorizing the issue
of the road bonds being delivered him. Governor Morrow
prevents the submission of the question to the voters this
fall unless the Senate majority accepts his proposal for
a bipartisan board. %
On first thought, and in a hurridly formed opinion,
the Courier believes that the need for roads is sufficiently
pressing to justify the Senate accepting the Govenors
offer of compromise In fact there is widespread doubt
to whether the question would have met the approval
of the people in the form that passed The trouble
that the Republican politicians would have had an op
portunity to stir up opposition the ground that all the
board Democratic The fact that the four men on the
board possibly the best that could have been selected
from the State would have been lost sight of in partisan
campaign against it.
The compelling thought in the whole question is
that the people want roadswan the State to finance their
building by bond issue-and that Should not be over
looked in the settling Of the matter There could be no.
possible objection to the four selected It is admitted
that there would have been effective and economical man
agement of the road building under their supervision
However in the present state of politics in Kentucky the
Republican organization would have launched their cam
pagn against the of the bonds at the polls this fall
To have gained party advantage the would have sacr
feed the roads and delayed the construction of the roads
for two years. y
In accepting Governor Morrow's bipartisan commits
sion the Democrats will have shown the people that they
IAN even overlook unheardof subrefuge to prevent leg
slaton and will have strengthened their position with the
people. There is possibly no case on record where
governor of State hid prevent bill being delivered to
him.
When the bill to establish the two normal schools was
introduced by the Republicans they were not so magnan
nous toward the Democrats Three men were named in
it, and all three Republicans Two years ago when
the Republicans had control of the legislature the Demo
Gratis got scant recognition but that the shoe the
other foot they howl because they given the
treatment they accorded the Democrats two years ago.
STILL believe that it is not worth the cost of two
years delay in submitting the bond issue to- pay them in
their own coin. We hope that some way will be reached
by which we can vote on the bond issue next November
