IN FARM CENTER
AT WESTM0RLAND
Adair Tells of Necessity
of Soil Fertilization
In Valley

Prof. L. B. Smith, assistant state
leader of Farm Advisors, gave an in
tcresting and timely talk Wednesday
Smith used as his topic the agricultural
extension work Of the state university.
1t is purely Il public service work, he
said, designed to help the producer in
growing and selling his crops. He told
of what has been done in soil fertility
during the last few years through the
extension service. This subject is of
special interest just now in Imperial
Valley.
Clark Adair gave an address on soil
fertility from the viewpoint of the
practical Imperial Valley farmer. The
Very great importance of keeping tho
soil up to its greatest productivity was
emphasized by Mr. Adair. He believes
that the county can readily be brought
back to the bumper crop class by grow
ing and plowing under of legumes.
Mr.. Adair recalled that many years
ago agricultural experts Of the univer-
sity had visited the valley and stated
that the soil needed nitrogen and humus
hut the people did not believe IT and
disregarded the advice. lie is now and
has in the past raised good crops be-
cause he believed tine experts and has
Systematically grown green manure
crops and plowed them into his soil.
Assistant Farm Advisor DE Tar talk
ed on the dairy project and explained
the proposed COW testing association,
urging all dairymen tc join it. He said
that the banks, Chambers of Commerce,
crcameries, and the Farm Bureau are
all deeply interested in the project, and
believe that it will accomplish II great
deal if the dairSmen do their part.
George II. Davis, member of the ass
sembly elect, urged AL voters to stamp
his name on the ballot in November ia
f, show their approval of his election at
the, primaries because a good vote will
give him added influence when he sits
in the legislative chamber. He said
that he expected to make business his
first duty; that he believes that eeono
my will be the keynote Of the mex,
session aud that be is entirely in accort

WOMAN SOUGHT
Movies and Autos
Reasons Girls
Leave Home
BY LINCOLN QUARBERG
United A,rcNH Leased Wire

CHICAGO, Oct. Movies and
automobiles are the modern an
swer to the age-old question . Why
Girls Leave Home. -
Judge Mary Bartelme, of Chi
cagO s juvenile court, declared to-
day that the speed of the times,
with youth leading the race, has
again raised the proverbial prob
lem for mothers.
''Girls of toadv are hungry for
thrills, - Judge Bartelmc said
''They crave speed and action---for
their, emotions. They find it in the
movies and the automobile. -
Judge Bartclmc s answer was
prompted by the wholesale reports
to Chicago police from mothers
whose daughters mysteriously dis
appearing from home. A greater
number of girls are being reported
missing to the police than ever be-
fore.
Search for many nigh school and
working girls reported missing from
hope under mysterious circum-
stances engaged the efforts CT
corps of police and detectives.
Margaret Davis, II years old,
was returned to her home today
after having been reported missing
since Sunday. She was found on
a farm near Roscile, Ills, where
she was working disguised as Il boy.
"She had probably seen movie
in which the heroine ran away
from home disguised as boy"
said Miss Bartelmc
THE modern girl gets taste of
romance in Il movie and home no
longer holds her interest,"
"A girl unaccustomed to the
thrills of movie life naturally
seeks that sort of thing for her
self.
1.-The automobile is a glrl idea
of luxury and good time.
"Between the movies and the
automobile, she finds plenty of lea-
son to be dissatisfied with homc.'

Clash between Sir John Bradbury

eudes the following:
l-Granting of five year cash
moratorium to Germany.
2-Germany, in lieu of cash pay
ments, to meet the obligations by is
suing bonds to the allies.
3-Thesc bonds to be guaranteed by
the allies and marketed to whoever
