traffic-is he not brother to the
man heavy-handed in humor, or
lacking it entirely?

simple neglect. It is a theory which
is important because it really does

because the closer it is examined the

the more widespread its application.

OLYMPIC WINNER
COMES INTO OWN
AFTER BAD BREAKS
By STAN ERSKINE
UNITED Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


Percy Williams, winner of two
championships at the Amsterdam
Olvmpiad, is a champion today be
cause all his life he fought for his
big chance.
The Canadian school boy, in win
ming both the 100 and 200 meter
dashes, accomplished a feat that
such great stars as Jarvis, Walker,
Kerr, Paddock, Scholz and Abra-
hams were unable TO equal.
Archie Hahn won both sprints at
St. Louis in 1904 and Ralph Craig
sprinted to a double victory at
Stockholm in 1912, but in neither
meet was the competition as strong
as it was at Amsterdam.
Williams ran to his victories a
gainst the finest field of dash men
ever assembled at the Olympics. He
is truly the "worId $ fastest hu
man.
Lost on Toss of Coin
Last year the toss of a coin kept
the young sprint star from partici
pating for the Canadian champion
ship. The track classic was held at
Toronto, but Williams lacked the
funds to make the trip. Cndaunted
he worked for month and finally
landed in Toronto on the eve of the
trials. In spite of these handicaps,
he succeeded in placing second in
his heat. At this time it developed
that mistake had been made in
the entries and one of the contest
1nts Ia TO h a \
toss of a coin and Williams lost his
first chance for aior sprint title.
He returned home only to work
harder At the British Columbia
Olympic trials, his efforts were re-
warded. He equalled the world $
record for the 100 meter run, Gov
ering the distance in 10 30 seconds.
Again Williams had difficulty III
raising the necessary expense money
to enter the final Olympic trials at
Hamilton, Ont. At the last minute
for funds. He was given a check
for expenses just in time to reach
Hamilton for the trials.
Born in Vancouver
Williams was born in Vancouver
in 1908. While being natural run
ner all his life, he seldom took his
track work seriously. Bob Granger,
former track coach of the Universe
ty of British Columbia, claims the
honor of having brought Williams to
light. He saw the youth in action
in 1926 and induced him to train.
AS a scholastic athlete Williams,
in 1927, set new Canadian high
school record of 10 seconds flat for
the 100 yard dash. This year he set
new dominion scholastic mark of
% seconds in the 220 yard dash.
Williams has not revealed his
plans for the future, but has indi
Gated he will not enter the Univer
sitv of Washington, as was first re

DE TAR SUBMITS
REPORT OF FARM
EXTENSION WORK

The following is a report of the
activities Of the Agricultural EXten-
sion Service in Imperial county for
the month of July, 1923, as submit
ted to the board of supervisors by
Ncrn De Tar, county farm advisor.
There are several milo growers
who have fields of Heileman and
Double Dwarf corn which is quite
uniform in growth, true to type,
from reliable source and is being
inspected with Il view to certifying
for pure seed. This season should
see the standards in our seed miio
considerably raised. \ fine seed

viii he harvested by the 10th of
August. This So day period makes
a remarkable mat .rity rate.
Several sumner management of
poultry meetings have been held in
various communities. Topics of Gull
ing, feeding, disease and parasite
control, caponizing and turkey pox
vaccination were discussed and de-
monstrated. The poultry and turkey
business is in quite a satisfactory
condition generally.
The Farm Bureau Camp, held at
Laguna, June Doth to July 3rd, was
very successful. The plan of having
the adult camp follow the club
camp worked very well.
During July 81 herds were tested
in the Imperial County Cow Test
ing Association. There were 2559
COWS in these herds, and 2062 of
them were tested. OF these 159
produced 40 lbs. or more of butter,
fat for the month. A total of 10
Improbable COWS were culled out
by members of the association.
Keep Alfalfa Records
Fight Imperial county alfalfa
growers are now keeping alfalfa
cost accounts in cooperation with
the Agricultural Extension Service.
1t is planned to analyzc these ac-
counts at the end of the year and
make n report similar to that made
this year for the dairy accounts.
DIR. NJ. A. Barber of the L. S
Public Health Service spent ono day
in this county searching for An
ophclcs mosquito larvae in the open
drains, which are found in this val
ley. He found ideal places for
mosquito larvae, but found no An
ophclcS mosquito larvae, and very
few mosquito larvae of any kind.
He stated that this was probably
due TO the presence in the water of
many fish and considerable blue
green aIgac.
DIR. Barber has been studying ma
laria in certain parts of New McXi-
co. He found there that the dig
ging of open drains was followed
within a few years by an epidemic
of malaria. lie was able to show
that the breeding place of the An
ophclcS mosquitoes which transmit
ted the disease, was in the water
of these drains. He had thought that
similar condition might exist here,
and that within q few years we
might have an epidemic of malaria,
At the close of his visit he stated
that he would not expect any trou'
bic with malaria in this valley.
A somewhat unsatisfactory
growth of alfalfa in one large field
visited during July appeared to be
due to poor moisture penetration in
the heavy soil, The irrigation wat
cr had penetrated but S to is in
chcs. The grower plans to irrigatC
more frequently and to hold the
water on the field as long as is
ing.
One grower obtained good stand

possible without danger of scald-
of mat beans for n cover crop eX-
cept where the water ponded at the
low end of the field. This cover
crop apparently requires surface
drainage.
Part of the grapefruit trees in one
young orchard are being killed by
high water table and alkali. The
soil is a deep coarse sand which
absorbs water very readily. 1t was
recommended that the length of the
irrigation runs be shortened from
over 1000 to 200 feet, and that wa
ter be used as sparingly as possible
without injury to the trees.
