vic organizations, corporations, mem
bers of the county government and
10 prominent Yuma citizens. attend

attended the recent meeting in Los
Angeles, where representatives from
various parts of Southern Califor-
MIA met for a purpose similar to last
night S meeting, gave report ON
the conference, stating that it was
decided to take united action
against the proposed rate increase.
Several other speakers urged the
necessity of united action on the
part of Imperial county munieipali-
| ties and civic organizations and
pointed out that unless determined
opposition was shown to the in
crease, it would undoubtedly be
granted.
On motion of Elmer Head, n
committee representative of the
entire valley was appointed, to
meet tonight with similar commit
| tee from Yuma to outline a plan
of campaign to be followed. 1t
was suggested that this committee
should meet with the board of sup
ervisors of Imperial County and
with the trustees of the various in

! action, and to ask them to act as

every community in the valley, and
that the public in general should
lend every assistance in raising
funds necessary to defray the cost
of hiring attorneys and presenting
tho people $ side of the case when
| it is taken up by the federal court
in which the action has been filed.

Active Plans Laid to Fight Power Rate Increase
GROWERS u GED
TO WATCH FOR
MILDEW
AiA23A~ 2A w

Cantaloupe growers of the
valley are reporting with con-
siderable anxiety the appear
ance of mildew on the vines
during the last few days, ac-
cording 10 u statement made
today by Horticultural Commits
sioner b. A. Harrigan, and all
growers who have not inspect
ed their vines recently should
do so at once.
The condition, Mr.. Harrigan
states, is one which has been
noted here during past seasons,
although it seems to be some
what more prevalent this year,
due undoubtedly ITO the unus-
ually cool weather.
No increase in temperature
is predicted for the next few
days, according to telegram
received today by Farm Advisor
f. L. Garthwaite i'll reply to
a message sent by him asking
the weather forecast. Observer
Bowie, official weather man of
the United States weather hu-
reau at San Francisco, tele-
graphed that neither very high
temperature nor low humidity
was forecasted for the next
few days.
1t is reported by growers
from the north end of the val
ley that mildew is prevalent
on tne vines and stems in most
of the fields, and Mr.. Harrigan
states that from inspection
made in this district he believes
the condition to be quite gem
eral throughout the county.
busting the vines with a mix
ture composed of % pounds of
sulphur and IS pounds of gyp-
sum is being successfully used
by some growers, Mr.. Harrigan
says, and it is recommended
that this be used by all who
find their vines showing evil
dence of mildew.
