How to Obtain a Supply

the laboratory fills requests for single jars in the

What Is To Be Done
With Drainage Money?
Engineering Estimate is that S25OOOOO Viii PrOUide Main
Outlets For the Entire VaIley-PLan

over them. This means that the money
will be used for the construction of
drainage works in every section of the
valley where there is need for it to
protect the lands from damage due to
seepage and the accumulation of alkali.
The work that can be done with the
two and one half millions asked for it,
is expected will result in the lowering
of the water table over those areas
which arc now damaged or threatened
and also, what is of equally great inn
portance, that it will provide main out.
lets which will facilitate the drainage
of any additional lands that may be-
come affected by seepagc in the fu-
ture. The plan is a comprehensive one
intended to be of benefit to the entire
valley and not to any particular see
tion thereof.
Do the people of the valley want this
Improvement For those who VII take
the trouble to inform themselves of
present conditions and the benefits that
may be expected, it is believed that
there is but one answer to this uues-
tion, and that answer is an emphatic
YES.
Without drainage protection the
valley is in a position to lose large
sums Of money due to decreased crop
production and the abandonment of
large areas of land as they become
non productive. This applies over all
areas where lands are or may become
seriously affected by seepage. Losses
will also occur due to the destruction of
confidence of the financial world in
what we have in the valley. These
losses will apply to every land owner,
to every business man and to every
resident of the valley, no matter upon
what line of business, trade or profes-.
sion he is dependent for a livelihood.
The drainage of the valley must be
regarded not only as a means of re-
claiming extensive areas already seeped
and unfit for cultivation; it is also an
insurance against damage to other
lands not yet affected. 1t will serve
to restore that confidence in the valley
which is necessary for it to maintain its
position as one of the greatest, if not
the greatest, irrigated area of the arid
west.
Imperial Valley press., 1922-05-20

Relative to the $500, 100000 worth
of bonds to be voted for drainage in
the valley, the questions which seem to
be involved are:
First. Is drainage necessary?
Second. How is this amount of
money to be expended? And
Third. DO the people of the valley
wish this Improvement?
From statements which have been
made by engineers who have investi-
gated conditions in the valley, there
seems to be no question that drainage
is needed. 1t must be clearly evident
to everyone who will take the trouble
to look over the valley, that portions
of it have already suffered serious dam
age due to the rise i'll water table.
From the experiences of engineers and
others who are familiar with different
irrigated areas, we must expect that
the ground water table will continue
to rise and that the damage which it
may cause to the valley, will gradually
increase. That condition detrimental
to the land owners of the valley now
exists, is evident from the fact that
financial interests are refusing to place
loans upon the lands of the valley and
giving for their reason the fact that
the lands are not protected from seep-
age and water logging. Without this
protection they do not regard the Sc
curity for investments as sufficient.
The condition above referred to is
not one which applies to Il single sec
tiOn, but one which affects every land
owner and every one who has financial
interests in the valley.
The question as to what is to be done
with the two and one half million dol
lars to be raised for drainage purposes
has been answered by the board of di-
rectors and by engineers who have rec
commended the amount of the bond is
sue for drainage purposes. 1t is in
tended that this money shall be used
to provide main outlets and waterways
for controlling the water table over the
entire district. 1t is intended that this
money will be used not only to reclaim
lands which are now wet, but also to
give protection to others which are en-
'dangered due to the rising water table

From Waste To

of Imperial Valley
By o. j. RENFREW

County Development Agent, Ell Centre
California.
''From Waste to Wealth. and il
tells the development Of one of the most
productive. farm areas in the world.
1922 is the year of its ma jority Twenty
one years old, and when measured by
accomplishment Imperial Valley dis
plays a stature full man-size. When
you glance backward over the years and
see the vast half million acres, then a
worthless waste, now redeemed and
blOssoming in all the fullness Of a
boundless nature, you see that here real
he-men have wrought a wondrous work.
''Imperial Valley farming is surely
established upon a business basis. 1t
has graduated with full honors from the
experimental stage. 1t has amply dem
onstratcd the far seeing wisdom of
those who backed their glorious fait',
in nature against great obstacles of
finance or the elements and have won
in triumph"
So wrote a man who saw this valley
four years ago. Since that time each
year has shown steady increase in dc,
|
ucts reach a total above scventy-million
dollars. AS another person said to the
writer the other day, "Why, you have
one of the most remarkable sections
ever heard about. Your figures show
that tho valley ships in a year more
than one carload of products for every
man, woman and child in its borders
and | understand that some years tho

TO illustrate this growth, official re
