SACRAMENTO, April 9. - The
final contest for ratification of the
Colorado River treaty with reserva-
tions which would insure the farm
ers of Imperial Valley their present
water rights, was to take place in
the senate today.
Long debate was expected when
the upper house calls up as a special
order of business, the Jones Murray
Finney resolution on the six state
compact. When the measure was
considered in the lower house, argu-
ments and debate took up greater
part of the day.
Senator Ralph Swing of San Ber-
nardino was slated to lead propon-
ents of the resolution while Senator
a. B. Johnson, Pasadena, author of
a resolution, providing for unquali-
fled ratification, will probably head
the list of opponents.
Briefly. many farmers of the I'M
perial Valley fear the compact.
They see in the treaty between
states, a possible flaw which might
needed water through the construc-
tion of low storage dam i'll the
river.
" Power filings have been made
along the river from one end to the
other,' printed argument for the
resolution states. 1.-THE principal
reason these filings have not been
allowed is the opposition of the
upper basin states.
Want Assurance
"With the compact i'll effect, this
opposition will largely disappear
and the filings may be allowed and
under this condition ii is not likely
the government will build a large
dam at Boulder Canyon or else
where.
1--WE are not desirous of defeat
ing the treaty. Senator Swing said
today. 1--WE demand, however, to
reserve California S sanction of the
compact until such "A time as the
government has given assurance
that Il high dam will be construct
ed to take care of our water needs. -
This afternoon the assembly will
bring up for discussion and poss-
ible disposition, constitutional
amendment changing the method of
selecting the railroad commission.
Assemblyman Charles IL. Deuel. is
author of the proposal. Some of
Deuel's constituents declare they
have been treated unfairly and are
demanding an elective board of
commissioners.
The highway financing situation
was complicated today by the ans
wer of the highway commission to
the senate s request for information
concerning expenditures for the
next two years.
The message sent the senate late
yesterday is considered flat refus.
al to produce the figures which
were asked of the commission and
is regarded by many members OF
the upper house as frank admis-
sion on the part of the commissions
ers that they would rather lose the
money obtainable under the propos-
ed gasoline tax increase than give
up the power of conducting their
own affairs.

Yes, it will sail out upon the

the Rylander with its big guns

there been such ships seen on the

Nan colored; money had been her

there were many bills owing for

paid.

RAISE MORE HOGS
is BEST ADVICE
Department of Agriculture Advises
Increase In Porkers

In line with the recommendation
of the committee on animal husband
ry of the Virginia Agricultural Ad-
visory Council, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has issued
a statement urging the farmers of
the South to raise more hogs. In
Virginia. according to figures fur
nished the Virginia State Chamber
of Commerce, there is consumption
of pork of 10000, 900 pounds a year,
with production of about 10000
600.
According to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture:
"At the present time the South is
far from self-sustaining in the matter
of its pork supply. In 1928, Geor-
gia had to bring in nearly 100000
pounds of meat. Yet Georgia is one
of the leading southern states in hog
production. Some parts of the South
that are well adapted to hog raising
are almost wholly dependent upon
supplies shipped in from other sec
tions. The South is overlooking an
opportunity to raise more hogs profit
ably. While not laying down any
/ hard and fast rules for every farmer,
the department suggests that on most
farms the cropping system should
first make provision for the home
needs of milk, eggs, meat and yege-
tables, and should then give atten-
ton to the main money crop. Sur
plus time remaining after these pri-
mary needs have been taken care of
should be devoted to supplementary
money crops and among such crops
hog raising will often hold the first
place.
The agronomy committee of the
Virginia Agricultural Advisory Coun-
ell recommends:
"A careful study of conditions
throughout the State leads the COM
mittee to believe that practically
every county in the State can and
should produce sufficient pork for
home consumption. The committee
further believes that certain sections
not producing many hogs at the pres
ent time are better adapted to hog
production than any other class OF
livestock and should increase hog
production materially. This applies
particularly to the Northern Neck,
and Peninsula counties"

PHOTOGRAPHING PARK

Through the efforts of the Vir-
ginia State Chamber of Commerce
arrangements have been completed
with the United States Forestry Serv-
ice in Washington for photographing
for the first time the national forests
of Virginia. The work will begin
August 20, when E. s. Shipp, official
photographer of the U. S. Forestry
Department, accompanied by r. F.
Nelson, director of publicity of the
Virginia State Chamber of Commerce.
and one or two district foresters, will
begin photographing the Shenandoah
National Forest. The party will
start from Harrisonburg.
The Shenandoah National Forest
includes beside the entire. Massanut-
ten range, part of the counties of
Bath. Frederick, Augusta, Rocking
ham and Shenandoah, and some of
the finest mountain scenery in the
United States. The U. S. Forestry
service is anxious to cooperate with
the Virginia State Chamber of Com
merce in its work of exploiting beau
tiful Virginia to the world, and in
return the State Chamber has made
possible the collection, for the first
time, complete set of photographs
of the nationals forest area.
1t is estimated that it will take
10 days to photograph the Shenan-
doah National Forests satisfactorily
Following the completion of this
work the party will go to the Unaka
National Forest, near Bristol. in
southwest Virginia, where for the
next four days these forests will be
covered. After making this trip the
party will go to the Natural Bridge
National Forest.

and to them will be entrusted not
only the highly important work of
organizing their division, but also
leading the more intensive drive
when the associations main forces
come into each region for the final
plea.
Additional plans for the drive and
for the acquisition of the park, men,
bers of the board of directors said.
will be announced later. The South
ern Appalachian National Park Com
mission, which was appointed by
Secretary of the Interior Work to
select the outstanding site in the east
for the proposed first park, has al
ready recommended the area in the
Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia as
such. According to the directors, all
that remains is for the State to do
its share toward making it possible
for Congress to set aside the section
as a national park this winter.
The proposed S2,50O,O00 will rep
resent only part of the purchase price
and Congress will be requested not
only to appropriate the remainder.
but also to pay all expenses for de-
yelopment and up-keep of the area
after 1t has been bought.
In order to make this possible. the
money should be entirely contributed
before December i, and for that rea-
son the Shenandoah National Park
Association is pushing its prepara-
tions with the utmost speed.
