AS WE SEE 1T
BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY.


BULGARIA is very much in the
news today 1t is today the chief
bourgeois slaughterhouse, where the
workers are being aDnihiiated merely
for being workers. There is no pro-
test against this reign of terror in the
capitalist press. The governments
that used to keep the wires hot in de-
nunciation of the defensive measures
of the Soviet government, approve Of
the actions Of the murderous white
assassins of Bulgaria.
THE Bulgarian government, known
4 among the workers and peasants
of Europe as the Government of As
sassins" is the creature of Britain and
the fayorite political puppet Of Austen
Chamberlain. 1t seized power with
the connivance Of the British govern
ment and has held office since then by
the support Of the same government.
Zankov, the present premier, had
Stambulisky murdered; $4,000 peas
ants lost their lives in the insurrec-
ton he provoked in September, 1928.
THIS assassin gang suppressed the
4 Workers Union, with member
ship Of 10000, and the Workers and
Peasants Cooperative Society with 2
membership of 10000 was declared il
legal and all its property confiscated
When this fiend Zankov thought he
had the country pacified in 1924, he
ordered an election. but tho the social
lists had bargained with him as to the
number of deputies both should have,
the Communists and peasants polled
over 100000 votes and elected 25 dep
uties. Zankov then made UP his
mind to eliminate his enemies BY
means Of assassination.
CINCE then Zankov has assassinat-
~ ed, at a conservative estimate, at
least 500 Communists and peasants,
not to speak of the thousands he
has executed in mass. Bulgarian rev.
olutionary leaders who managed to
escape from the country have been
tracked down and assassinated in for
eign cities The following letter, writ
ten by Zankov's right hand man,
Stancheff, to the Bulgarian minister
in Rome, openly boasting of one muir

ASSEMBLYMAN OF
RIVERSIDE KEEN
FOR SWING Bill

Another strong supporter for the
Swing ohnson bill, and allied met
surcs having for their object the
development of the Colorado river
and construction of the AllAmer-
lean canal has been made in the
person of Alfred c. Murray, assem-
blyman from Riverside, who has
written letter to Attorney Charles
l.. Childers, congratulating him on
the work which he did at Sacra-
mentO in behalf of the six state
pact bill, and the Metropolitan Wa
ter District Bill.
Asscmblyman Murray also pays a
high compliment to Assemblyman
Finney of Imperial county for the
valuable work and uceasing work
which he gave to these projects.
The letter states that even though
the Metropolitan Water District
bill failed, Assemblyman Murray be
licvcS il was the means of instigat
ing an extensive educational cam
paign on water matters, which will
bear fruit ut a later date.
The continuation of a canpaign
throughout Southern California 10
solidify and educate the people to
the importance Of Boulder Canyon
dam, the All-American canal and
the Metropolitan Water District, is
urged by Mr.. Murray, who states
that he has emphasized the impor
tancc of these projects in several
speeches since his return from Sac
ramentO.
The fights at Sacramento also
served to "smokc OUT the Oppon-
ents of these measures, he states,
thereby making it possible to know
against whom the fight must be
directed in the future.
Assemblyman Murray concluded
with the statement that it is his
purpose to keep closel.A in touch
with new developments concerning
these projects and to render any as
sistance that he can toward the de-
sired detectives.

GRAHAM TRUCK
PRICE D R0PS
CONSIDERAB | Y

Notice was received today by c.
w. McCabe, Inc, local Dodge
Brothers dealer, of substantial re-
duction in the prices of Graham
Brothers trucks.
The one ton Graham Brothers
chassis, which formerly sold at
Sll75, f. o. b.. Detroit, is reduced
to $l095 and the one and one half
ton chassis, which was 1915, is cut
to $3.50, f. 3. b. Detroit. Other
chassis prices are reduced proper
tionately.
In view of the recent announce
ment that Graham Brothers in the
first quarter of 1925, built more
one and one-half ton trucks than
any other manufac turer in the
world, and were second in the one
ton and one and one-haIf ton truck
fields combined,' said the dealer,
the reduction is really explained.
1t has always been Graham Broth
ers policy to pass along to the con-
sumner Immediately any savings eff
fccted through increased production
and other factory economics. Only
last September they made a sharp
price cut in their one ton chassis.
In the face of this previous redue-
tion the present additional cut of
$50 is almost unbelievable.
Graham Brothers also have an
other important advantage, the fact
that they market their product
through Dodge Brothers dealers all
over the world. They are thus pro
vided with an organization much
larger and more capable than the
average truck manufacturer can
hope to establish.

ADVICE Civ ZEN
ON DETECTION.
CURE OF MELDEW
Growth of Fungus Very
Rapid; Duster
Suggested

Serious outbreaks of pOwdey
mildew have occurred IN some psfts
of Imperial Valley according to
Farm Advisor Garthwaite who
warns all cantaIoupe growers to
close inspection of their fields and
stand ready to start control meas
ures where necessary.
The mildew appears first usual
ly on the under sides of the leaves
but quickly spreads to the upper
sides of the leaves and to the stems.
1t is d white powdery mold and
first appears in spots about quar-
ter of an inch in diameter, but
scon spreads out to cover the entire
surface of the leaf and stem. When
the mildew is severe, they leaves
soon turn yellow and die.
The mildew fungus sends minute
thread like growths down into the
interior of the leaf destroying the
plant cells and absorbing the nu-
triment. Minute spores or fungus
seed are soon produced on the eX-
terror growth. These spores are
readily spread by wind, and when
they light on any moist surface,
start growing at once.
Mildew grows rapidly in humid,
moderately warm weather, and is
not checked until very dry, low
humidity, weather or very hot
weather with temperatures exceed
ing 100 degrees Farenheit. James,
Gordon, L. S. Weather Bureau OBJ
server at Yuma and Mr.. Bowie, L.
S. Weather Bureau Pacific coast
fOrecaster at San Francisco both
notified Farm Advisor Garthwaite
Friday that no very dry nor very
hot weather is indicated for the
next few days. Further forecast
will be obtained from these men
on Monday.
Unless the weather changes, there
fore, growers may expect the mil
dew to spread. If this occurs, con
troll measures will in all probabili-
ty be necessary.
Copper-Lime Dust Good
The best material to use is Il dust
known as "CopperLime' dust
which contains 16 per cent dehvd-
rated copper-sulphate and the bal
ance lime.
This should be applied with
power duster so as to force the ma
terial over all parts of the vine and
leaves, particularly the under sides
of the leaves and stems. Between
10 and 80 pounds per acre will be
required depending on the size of
the vines Tho dust may also be
applied by shaking barley sacks con-
taining > or 10 pounds in the bot
tom of the sack over the vines.
This has the advantage that much
more rapid applications can be made
than with dusting outfits.
Growers who are equipped with
liquid spray tanks will get satisfac
tory results by spraying with $3.50
Bordeaux Spray, using four pounds
of Blue Stone, pounds of rock
Ina (not dehydra1,ed lime) to 80
gallons Of water.
Some growers have been fairly
successful in using straight sulphur
However, this has only checked the
mildew and has done considerable
damage by burning the vines, A
mixture of 80 pounds of hydrated
lime to 110 pounds of sulphur does
less damage to the-vines but is not
quite so effective controlling the
mildew. This mixture is preferable
to straight sulphur but is not as
satisfactory AZ the cOpper-lime
dust mentioned above.
Growers who ere not familiar
with the appearance of the mildew
on cantaloupe vines can see speci-
mems at the farm advisor S office.
