fertility is one of the most vital
and important questions to be
solved by the farmers of Imperial
Valley and upon which all the in
terests of this valley subsist. If
the next meeting is to be known as
soil fertility night, the board of
supervisors, the irrigation board
and the executive committee of the
farm bureau should be invited to
be present. If the work is to be
continued the active support of the
farm advisor and the assistance of
the state department of agriculture
through its soil specialists should be
encouraged.
What Is Spent
I'm comparison, approximately
$J00,0G0 is being spent in Imperial
Valley for the education of our
children but only $4,000 is being
spent for the uplift, advancement
and agricultural education of the
farmer, and yet, with the soil, rests
our very subsistence. The question
of soil fertility deserves the further
consideration and activities of the
Associated Chambers and we trust
that our suggestions may receive
your united support.
The executive committee of the
soil fertility committee is composed
of Clark Adair of Seeley, chair
man: Z. W. Hoover. Holtville; John
w. Scott, FL Centre.

1t is usually thought that big
corporations are greedy and
try to get all the profit they
possibly can by advancing
prices at every opportunity
but a pleasant surprise has
been enjoyed this spring by
those who bought Auto tires
from the Western Auto Sup

Although nearly all tire con-
Germs have made two price
advances recently, this COM
pany is still selling its tires
at 1922 prices and has an
nounced that it is able to do
SO because of having bought,
before the advance, about 60
carloads Of tires.
A service of this kind Is
something that motorists will
not soon forget. 1t is antici-

are to be sold at 1922 prices
will be moved quickly through

that if the organization wishes the
