OIL AND GRAVEL ROADS

The suggestion made at the recent meeting of
the city council when number of citizens objected to
having a strip of pavement placed on Eighth
street passing their property that the city oil and
gravel instead of pavement.
In protest against the pavement the citizens de-
cared that pavement not the full width of the street
would only provide speedway" for reckless drivers
and could only be installed greater than the
property could bear.
If we are correctly informed, the city engineer
stated that oil and gravel would cost practically
much as paving. While not disputing his claim
think he may be mistaken. At any rate the idea would
be well worth trying out narrower street to ascer
tain just what relation the cost bears to paving
Oil and gravel roads are built by the state in many
places where funds do not permit pavement, which IN
cnes believe that the former process cheaper
Generally speaking the road between Imperial
and Brawley is entirely satisfactory, also the detours
on the San Diego highway, which were not expected
to last as long as they have at the time they in
stalled
We are only considering the oil and gravel road
from the standpoint Of one who has ridden over them
The cost. maintenance and durability is something else
again. Nevertheless we would like to the expert
ment made by the city in the hope that it would solve
the problem of improving all streets within the city
at a cost that would not be prohibltiVe.

DEAN ! BELIEVES
AGRICULTURE HAS
STRONG FUTURE
By United Press Leased Wire

BERKELEY, Calf, July 21.-
Amid all the talk of hard times for
the farmer and need for agrieultur-
al relief, there is one man who firm
ly believes that the opportunities in
agriculture are greater now than
ever before.
He is T.. b. Merrill. dean Of the
College of Agriculture at the Uni
vcrsity of California. The sayant
bases his convictions on the theory
that relief from agricultural deprcs-
sions will depend upon the sound
thought which will. come from train
ed men.
Too often, he said, students who
contemplate agriculture as "A profcs-
sion are influenced in their decisions
by apparent adverse situations or
by the low current prices obtained
for products. There are manay more
opportunities for the young men
than tilling the soil, according to
the dean.
"The field of agriculture is eX-
,edingly broad and complex, and
the opportunities in agriculture are
alike for the city boy and the boy
raised on a farm he said. "There
are more than 100 kinds of positions
that man trained in agriculture
can occupy, having salaries ranging
from 800 to $4,000 per year.
elf the young man trained in
agriculture college does not wish to
farm there are plenty of other op-
portunities to turn his education
and training into cash. the dean
said.

 Inquiry disclosed that the ground was considered too dry for success ful planting. Governor Richards planted the field in oats and vetch and billowing field of the grain and purple flowered vetch, stand ing more than waist high. has at. tracted admiration from farmers and city dwellers alike. Spending what hours he can on his little cit. farm, the governor is promised an unusually heavy harvest.
 The grain crop does not mon nopc- lize his attention, however, as those who have tasted the excel lent strawberries from the mansion house patch can testify, while vege- tables from his own back yard con- tribute to the table of South Caro- lina's first citizen.
