shigher per ton than a year ago, with
& greatly increased yield, There are
now 16S,2l0 acres planted to alfal-
fa in Imperial Valley, of which
about $4,000 acres are cut for hay.
Present price for good hay here is
around $l5 per ton, or $3.50 higher
than at this time last year. The
average price from January / to
date has been $3.50 per ton. More
than $500 carloads of hay have
moved by rail since the first of the
year-a much greater quantity than
last year. This is only a third of the
shipment, however, for it is esti-
mated that in addition the valley
ships 80 truckloads or trailers of
hay each day, on an average, or
about the equivalent of 5000 freight
carloads since the first of January.
There were more than 10000 acres
of barley harvested this spring,
averaging a yield of 81 or 90 sacks
per acre, which is more than usual.

RELATIVELY SMALL
CONTRIBUTIONS TO
smith CAMPAIGN

NEW YORK, Aug. 2,-Relatively
small contributions have featured
collections thus far for the S3'oOo,'
600 fund which il has been estimated
the presidential campaign of Gov
crnor Alfred T.. Smith will cost.
The largest individual eontribu'
tion in the 500, ,I0& received TO date
were two for $4,000 each,
They came from John d. Ryan,
president of the Anaconda Copper
Company, and John 7. Smith, gen
cral counsel of the General Motors
Corporation, business associate OF
Chairman John j. Raskob of the
Democratic national committee.
The names of Raskob, w. II.
Kenncy and William Todd, multi
millionaire friends of the Demo
cratic presidential candidate do not
appear on the list made public to-
day by Col. II. II. Lehman, Demo
cratic finance director.
The bulk of the contributions
came from New York, big business
men who are friends of the New
York governor, but the country ms
whole is well represented by small
donations, many of one dollar each.
The Democratic treasury now
holds $l92,752, according to Leh,
