Naval Construction
Bill Before Chamber

Paris Feb. 6.-When France
completes the reduction of the first
section OF her naval program. elab-
Grated in conformity with the
Washington disarmament agree
ment, the fleet OF the republic will
consist Of nine battleships. II
cruisers. 60 torpedo boats and de-
stroyers. and Ga submarines. This
will be done by the spring of 1926.
OF the nine battleships. however.
two are now obsolete and are not
even today carried in the parlia-
mentary reports as effective weaD-
ons Of offense. Six of the IA
cruisers will have nassed the age
limit, and II torpedo boats and de-
strOyers are admitted by naval eX-
perts to be unequal to the task that
would be allotted to them in pres
ent naval warfare. Twenty of the
submarines which saw service dur
ing the late war. according to a
parliamentary report, would be
useless.
Thus France could bring into line
for effective naval operations seven
battleships, eight cruisers, AZ tor
,pedo boats and destroyers and 40
Subma rines.
Minister of Marine Flaminius
Raiberti, expressing his conviction
that such a reduced fleet would be
unable to ensure the security of
Frances naval frontiers and the
liberty of its naval lines of COM
munications, recently introduced a
bill in the chamber, asking author
ization to proceed Immediately to
work on the second section of the
naval program, as agreed upon at
Washington.
The bill provides for the con-
struction Of six cruisers of 10000
tons; Is destroyers of 2,4OO tons;
rs torpedo boats of 1.450 tons;
four submarine cruisers of 5000
tons; 30 submarines Of the first
class, 1900 tons each; two mine

Garthwaite Urges'Alfafla Men h.
to Let Crop Dry Up as Method
of Saving Valley Water Supply

Gus molds and fungi that cause many
important plapt disease. sesThe air
penetrating deep down oxidizes the
plant poisons, stimulates the action
of beneficial barteria which make
nitrogen and other plant foods
available, it also makes the. soil
previous to water enabling the wa.
ter TO go farther down into the
soil thereby encouraging greater
root development, and finally en-
ables te soli to hold water better.
Drying Up System
This system of drying up the
alfalfa fields should, and usually
is, accompanied by thorough cul-
,tivation or renovation of the field.
Some growers prefer to do this soon
after the land dries out, while other
wait till shortly before applying
water in the fall. 'Renovating in
corporates into the soil alfalfa
leaves and other organic material
of high fertilizing value. Further
more the eggs anu larvae of grass
hoppers, alfalfa caterpillars, cut
worms and other injurious insects
are destroyed in large numbers,
i One of the most important func-
lions of cultivating alfalfa partic-
ularly in the southwest, is the
breaking up of the impervious lay
er of silt which is deposited by the
muddy irrigation water and amounts
to an average of one fourth of an
inch deep over the entire field, be-
ing thickest at the, upper ends of
the checks, Furthermore the con
tinual tramping of Stock. haylpg.
machinery, etc., further tends to
"puddleo the top soil making It
impervious to air and water. a
renovation breaks up this
layer. The practice of drying out
and renovating alfalfa fields is an
ideal way of killing out water
grass, bermuda grass and other,
weeds, so that the October cutting
IS nearly straight alfalfa. A re
Innovation in the fall also enables the
seeding of barley or oats for WIN
ter pasturing.
Tt would be far better for the
alfalfa growers themselves and for
the valley as a whole if. every al
falfa hay grower, exclusive OF
dairymen, was. to try up his alfalfa
till about September 30. This wa
ter could then be used by cotton,
corn and lettuce men, who other--
wise may suffer considerably. A
large number of cotton, and CORN
growers stop ,irrfgating the middle;
Hof Septembel, and nearly all stop
the first week in, October, so. that
most of the water NOW being used
sbelow the line and almost 80, per
!cent of the amount being used on,
alfalfa growers the latter part of
this side, will be available TO the,
September and early part of Oc7a
tober to enable them TO make a
good crop Of alfalfa free from
weeds, during the month of ,0cto-

Extension Service
Imperial County


1t was the unanimous opinion of
the meeting of the alfalfa hay
growers department of the Iirper,
ial County Farm Bureau held in
the, agricultural extension service
office in Ell Centre that it would be
highly advisable for all farmers
growing alfalfa for hay to stop IL
rigating from now till about Sep
tember %. This, of course, did not
apply to dairymen and other stock
men. 1t was pointed out that this
is not only desirable and profit
able, practice for the alfalfa grow
ers for their own benefit, but that
it would also release water fbr
cotton growers who need it so bafl-
ly at this time.
The practice of drying up a.
falfa in the summer time is not ia
new one for Imperial Valley. As
a matter of fact the University Of
Arizona first advocated this sys-
TEN nearly twenty years ago, and
the idea has been gaining in pop
ularity until today more than half
the alfalfa hay growers of Imper-
ial Valley dry up their alfalfa fropl
July to the middle of Septembd.
There are a great many strohg
reasons for this practice, few Of
which are listed below. 1
What Experiments Show
In. the first place careful exR-
riments have shown that the Sep
tember cutting of alfalfa hay
amounts to only 8 per cent of TIE
total amount of hay produced On
IAN acre during the year. This is
due the weeds. hct weather, SIT
and insect injury. The average
yield of alfalfa for Imperial V5l-
ley is four and half tons per acte
per year Therefore, the average
yield of the September cutting Is
only about one eeighth of a ton psr
acre. Some fields will Of course
produce more, but the average will
not. Furthermore, this hay is OF
very pocr quality due to the large
amount of water grass and bermp-
Ida grass, and also due to the fact
that most of the leaves have been
eaten off by the alfalfa caterpillar.
Another factor to be taken into
consideration, is that with the pre-
sent shortage of water very fesv
growers will be able to get suf-
ficient water ITO produce Septerh
Der cutting AT the: best then, prp,
ducing a cutting of hay in Septelh+
Der will not be very profitable unr
der Imperial Valley conditions. T.
To offset this profit are mary
very important advantages Of this
system of not ifrigating the alfalf ia
fields during the summer. In the
first place the. soil dries out and
gets a much .needed rest. AS the
soil dries lit scracks open allowing
air and heat to penetrate deep into
the soil This heat destroys injuris

4unbnrned arms are on the wane.
But two-toned frocks are in
againl
Arms and neck must show no two
oned color marks this season, but
srocks with two tones verging into
one are the latest of Fashion s
dictates. Shaded dresses either COM
sine two materials, one. of soft
sastel tone and the other a rich,
lark tone of the same color or else
The material itself is two-tonee
Department stores are selling georg-
ettes and chiffons in lovely two
toned colorings which are adaptable
for evening froeks. Among the
favorite colors are apricot which
vcrgss into a deep brick red, orchid
which verges into violet purple and
pale green which verges into a dark
brilliant green which looks like
stained window glass.
Two-f toned effects may also be
achieved by ostrich feather banding
of different shades. A flesh-pink
frock with long sheath lines flares
into a flounce below the knees and
this entire flounee is composed of
bands Of ostrich which begin a flesh
pink and grow deeper in color un-
iii they are deep rose at the hem.
Since feather banding in all shades
can be purchased in the stores there
are many lovely two-toned effects
which can be carried out by the
seamstress.
A Dance Frock
A lovely twotoned dance ifroek
starts out with a bodice of orchid
chiffon which grows into a deeper
shade on the long, .beltless bodice.
just below the hips, rows Of petal
shaped flounees appear, and these
grow darker and deeper in color
until they terminate at she-. hem in
deep. violet purple. The petals are
pecot t-edged and sewed onto the
skirt foundation overlapping one
another. / t1 -.

Beaded Frocks
Beaded dresses have by no means
lost their foothold on the fashion
world. Each season wei expect to
learn that beaded frocks have pass
ed into oblivion and each season
we find them back again in all their
glory.
Everybody liket the beaded frock
IN spite of the fact. that beads are
forever coming eff since they are
only attached to the gown with
a chain stitch in most cases. Yet
no other froeks seem to be quite
as rich in appearance as those that
are beautifully beaded. This sea-
son we have the tapestry designs
with beads of dull greens, blues,
,ose and bronze and the effect is
tery like old tapestries. Hand
N,ags and envelope purses also car
v out tapestry designs IN bead
work to correspond with froeks.
As to beaded evening gowns
which many prefer to beaded day
time gowns, these are rtill spon-
sored by the best gown houses, and
irridescent crystals and pearls are
those most important. Apricot,

class OF property that depreclates

Not Enough Houses
Mrs. Taylor declares that there
is not enough available housing
area for tenants able TO pay more
than $50 a month. Many large
apartments hold up a high price
level by vacancies, the landlords
renting from rs per cent to so per
cent of the whole space at exorbi-
tant rentals and receiving thereby
q greater annual return than they
would receive were the entire build
ing rented at a just and reasonable
rate Of return on a fair valuation
Of the property today"
Mrs. Taylor says that this opin.
ion is based on a careful scrutiny
Of the testimony In cases heard
before the Rent Commission and
upon inspection and investigation.
It Is claimed by Mrs. Taylor
that If tenants were forced to move
there would be no possible place
for them to move. Therefore II
Is possible for q campaign of ter.
rorization and intimidation, iecid
eddy menacing to the public vel
fare, to be conducted. It is further
my opinion that such campaign
is being conducted by some of the
