and several fine addresses by pro-
minent men heard.
A resolution urging Congressman
Phil d. Swing to introduce and

bin requiring the Indian agents of
Indian reservations to control and
eradicate noXi0us weeds was one of
the important issues handled. The
message urged that this work be

either the United States or the state
department of agriculture. The
menace of noXious weeds in the
Yuma Indian reservation to the ag-
ricultural interests of Imperial and
Yuma valleys was mentioned ard
the measure deemed necessary be
cause Of the alleged apparent wilful
neglect of those in charge of these
Indian lands.
The bureau also endorsed the ac-
ton of the lettuce shippers Of the

also extended, through resolutions,
to the Los Angeles Examiner, f. W.

of Orchard and Farm, for their CO.
operation in handling Imperial Val

rectors in an optimistic vein, de-
claring that Imperial Valley has
been hit less by the agricultural
slump than any other section of the
