Calhoun Jury Dismissed After 49 Hours Dehberation
Farm
Bureau Handle
Much Business

The matter of permanent financ-
ing of the agricultural industry of
Imperial Valley was the main
problem taken up by the farm bu-
rcau directors at their meeting on
Saturday.
The Jasper farm center, which
was the first center to take action
on the matter, placed the situation
before the committee and a very
enthusiastic discussion followed. The
final result was that the matter
was turned over to the manager 5
committee which is to formulate q
plan whereby the expense will be
brought about uniformly and work
no hardship ON any individual. This
committee consists of j. l. Dubois,
chairman of the committee, from
the McCabe farm center; Harry C.
James OF Meloland, Assemblyman
A. c. Firney: D. V. Stewart Of I'm
perial and w. A. Swerdfcgcr of
Meloland together with w. A. Ton
dro, q business man of FL Centre,
and j. Roy Adams of the county
board of supervisors of Imperial
County.
In speaking of the matter to the
committee, Manager G. c. Jenkins
Of the farm bureau, stated that this
is one of the most important ques-
tions that ever faced Imperial Val
ley; that other agricultural COM
munities have their distribution
manager who find a market for
4 their unlimited supply Of products
without the assistance of the mid
die man who takes so much of the
profit of the grower; that other in
( dustries have this method Of fin
ancing and distribution and it is
a big thing which is before I'm
perial County az q whole, since
agriculture is the most important
industry.
Plea on Rate Measure
Another important matter which
was brought before the committee
by the Jasper center was the
/ Smith-Hoch bill, recently passed by
congress regarding the rate situa
ton which if properly taken ad-
vantage of should give growers of
Imperial Valley immediate relief
from discrimination and readiust
ment of freight rates. The decision
of the directors was to place the
matter of readjustment of freight
rates of Imperial Valley in the
hands Of the utilities department of
the State Federation of Farm Blu
reaus, of which Imperial Valley
Farm Bureau is q member. Man

travel to Labrador, then skirt the
shores Of Greenland and return by
way Of Labrador. On the return
Macmillan expects to choose a cite
in Labrador for a permanent scien.
'tific experimental station which will
be established there.
Tales Of the Norsemen who cross
ed from Europe to Greenland ard
Labrador, long before Columbus
was born, have been told to Mac.

parties every time they have trav.

north, Macmillan says, and although
no proof Of their crossing has ever
been found, tht explorer hopes this
time to be able to uncover some

this.
