Professor w. w. Weir, the drain

Gently spent two days in Imperial

Grated with Sinclair in digging the
trenches for the tile. The district
bought u special machine for this
purpose. 1t is understood tina. the
district is anxious to operate this
machine at actual cost for all
ranches desiring to install tile
drainage. Ecyschlag states that i'm
mcdiatcly after the tile was laid
Sinclair carefully made a crop sur
vey indicating the condition of the
pea crop at points 100 feet apart
on every line of tile. This will en-
able him in the future to determine
rather definitely the benefit pre-
duced by the drainage. Before
planting peas this year Sinclair
flood irrigated the land several
times. Next summer he plans to
grow summer green manure crop
of scsbania, which will be irrigated
by flooding. According to the farm
advisor this flooding will gradually
force the alkali from tic surface

through the tile drainage waters.

however, that no system of alkah

the surface must first be lowered
by drainage before reclamation can
be started. Weir and Bcyschlag
called on r. X. Lytlc, in the Sccley

WHERE IS OUR CHARITY?

Why this tagging in the Red Cross campaign?
Are we in FL Centre to be placed in the class that
the world calls tight? Are stngy? Do we love
the dollar much that parting with it is struggle?
Or is laxity in the present campaign due more
to carelessness indifference or procrastination?
One class is almost bad the other. The fellow
who means to- give but doesn't is almost bad
the fellow who refuses outright Having good inten
tons is splendid but there is broad highway leading
to an undesirable resort that reported to be paved
with good intentions.
1t NAV be that some of US feel we have been slight
ed unless directly solicited by worker, to con-
tribute to the Ped Cross If there any such let
them discard the false notion and consider this direct
solicitation. The Imperial VALLEY Press will be glad
to take their money If you feel that way about and
want to be called upon, let know and we will call
in person. charging double for the questionable honor.
El Centro afford TO fail in obtaining its quota
We know from experience with campaigns in the past
that 6O0 the quota asked for in this is ridcu
lously small for city the size Of this one
We do not honestly believe Ell Centro is tight We
do believe we arc mighty careless and slow to move
into action 1t only takes iffy to make out check
and mail it in to the chairman of the Red Cross drive
or to stop and buy button on the street.
And as for questioning the wisdom of contributing
to the Red Cross would just soon believe man
would question the advsabiity of giving money to his
own mother The Red Cross is sound. Misguided and
contemplate people have tried to attack at times,
but il has always been found TO be soundone of the
most unsefish organizations in the history of the
world.
1t is an honor to be allowed to help in the work
is doing. Do you want to deny yourself that honor!

All of sudden, as they were go
