FARM ADVISOR
RETURNS FROM
FLOODED AREA

After having been absent from
this city since March %, Farm Ad-
visor Fcrn w. DcTar returned
yesterday, having spent the entire
period of his absence working on
the survey Of damage done in the
Santa Clara Valley by the recent
st. Francis dam disaster.
DeTar was one of the committee
of 23 farm advisors, assistants and
specialists from the University Of
California extension service put on
the job at the request of Governor
Young. The work was done entire
lv in the Ventura county area of
the flood.
The survey DeTar explained
today. was not financial ap,
praisal, but Il fact finding to ascer-
tain what damage had been done
to the soil itself, to crops, etc.
"The committee reported on 3G6
cases covering 80 different farms, -
DeTar stated. "Damagc to soil,
trees, crops, fences was included in
the reports.
In some places the surface soil
had been removed to the extent of
from two to six feet, trees bent
over and killed and sections almost
desolatcd. DeTar expressed himself
surprised, however, by the order
which had been brought out of the
chaos. In his opinion the ranchers
of the valley are well satisfied with
the work being done by Los Ange-
les to restore the territory.
Now that he is back, DeTar s
first activities, following a general
meeting with the members of his
staff today, will be work on dairy
! and alfalfa cost accounting.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-The AS
sociation Against the Prohibition
Amendment intends to carry a hot
fight into many congressional dis-
tricts this fall. This became known
today, when the association sent
out questionnaires to approximately
1000 persons running for Congress
on various tickets throughout the
country.
The association has not gone on
record in favor Of any candidate
for the presidency, and is not cx-
pected 10. This is thought to be
because Of the division of party af-
flliation between Republican and
Democratic on the associations ex-
ecutiVe committee Of 100.
Many members of this committee,
however, have announced personal
preferences.
On the answers to the aSsoci-
atoms questionnaires will depend
the strength of association support
to congressional candidates, Presi-
dent Henry H. Curran announced.
Curran also announced that each
candidate is to be asked what form
Of State control Of liquor he favors,
"in accordance with the principle
Of States rights contained in planks
Of both the Republican and Demo-
cratic platforms"
The questions are:
1. Do you favor repeal or amend
ment of the Eighteenth Amend
ment2 If amendment, how?
2. Do you favor repeal or amend
raent of the Volsted act2 If amend
ment, how?
8, When control Of the liquor
