eral Of the more important projects

In the matter of the Farm and
Home Loan association, Deuel. urged
that efforts be continued TO obtain

motion. especially of SOME of the
actions of the higher officials. He
said lie had recently obtained addi.
tional Information which pointed to
irregularities in its operations.
lie also reported on his invcstiga-
tion made at the request of certain
wheat growers around Holtville and
Bonds Corner. In this case. a mill
ing company had made deductions
in paving for wheat purchased OF
these farmers. on account of barley
contained in the wheat, and had r.
fused TO pay them for the value of
the barley. He was Of the opinion
that there was Il good chance to
recover the value of this dockagc,
and intends TO take this matter mp
further ON his next visit.
He also stressed the Importance
to Imperial county Of the so-called

tho legislature. This system of r.
auuortionmcrt won At the last cl"r-
7lon. but has been held up hy ref

bile insurance plan of the Stat"
Farm Bureau, explaining that whlIe
the farm bureau is anxious 10 keep

therefore, for tlr farm bureau TO
protect the farmers and small towns
against the high insurance rates,
caused ly tho congcstcd ccntcrs Of
