letter forwarded to DR.. Merrill:
Dean f. ID. Merrill, Dean of the
College of Agriculture, University
of California, Berkeley, California.
We, the undersigned representa-
tives of the various agricultural and
business interests of Imperial Val
ley, have just completed an investi-
cation of your Meloland expert
mental station. We wish to CON
gratulate you upon the excellent
work being done with the crops
that are now growing at the station
We find, however, that work is be-
ing carried out only with field
crops and no work whatsoever
with truck or fruit crops, nor with
animal industries.
Vast Industries
We feel that it is unnecessary to
tude of the truck and fruit crops
and animal husbandry industries of
Imperial Valley. We DO feel
however, that we should call to your
attention the fact that these vast
industries are receiving no help
whatsoever from your station. We
feel further that due to our unique
soil and climatic conditions that
results secured at experiment sta
tions in other parts Of the state
have only a limited bearing on the
growing of crops or livestock here.
In view of all these conditions,
we earnestly request you to meet
with us at your early convenience
and make a thorough investigation
of our problems and we sincerely
trust that as a result of your visit
it may be possible for the Univer
sity of California to extend the
present good work into larger
fields. In this We wish to assure
you that you will have the full CO.
operation of the organization we
represent.
Yours very truly.

Asks That System Be
Abolished

An urgent appeal that efficiency
ratings affecting its employees, both
professional and clerical, be abOl-

port Of. the Interstate Commerce
Commission. made public today.
The efficiency rating system ac-
complishes no good purpose and is
desfructfve4 Of Morale among the
working force, the report, says.
The report says:
sss Employees have 4oF years
been selected and promoted strictly

resulted In no good anuIat1clH harm.
Many employees have felt pAngs OF

PETIT Goes UP.
IN MERGED

Citizens Savings Cashier
! Made Merchants Vice Presi-
dent Move PIeases Al
BY RICHARDlH ATTON.

Announcement that Fernand
Petit, cashier Of the Citizens Saw
ings Bank. win become an active
vice president Of the Merchants
Bank and Trust Company when the
consolidation. or these institutions is
completeds has caused general ex-
pressions OF approval and congratI-
iation in financial circles, where
Petit Is held III the highest esteem.
It is felt that his connection with
the consolidated institution will add
to the strength of the combination.
Petit was connected with the old
Washington Southern Bank located
at 1414 r street northwest and has
been with the Merchants Bank be-
fore as assistant cashier. when
President Peter "a. Drury purchased
the Southern in 1915. In 1917 Petit
resigned to enter the army. where
he served with distinction in France.
In 1919 Petit returned to Washing
ton and participated In the organi.
zation Of the Citizens Savings Bank,
opened. for business In April of that
year. when he became cashier. His
present advancement is distinct
compliment and is based entirely ups
on merit.
The consolidation of the Merchants
Bank and Trust Company and the
Citizens Savings Bank under the
direction Of President Drury and
Vice President Petit will result in
the Merchants Bank and Trust Com
paHly becoming one OF the strongest
financial institutions in the city.
