IN 1928 the Imperial Irrigation
District was organized and absorbed
all of the mutual water companies
operating in tie valley. BY this
absorption the district assumed re-
sponsibility for the diversion, trans
portation, distribution and delivery
of water from the Colorado River
TO individual headgates serving
some 100000 acres. Since then the
district has been in full charge of
the irrigating system and has been
more successful in maintaining
better and more economical service

Drainage construction started in
i922 has been continued from year
to year No unusual difficulty has
been experienced in controlling the
diversion from tie Colorado river
at Hanlon Heading. there seems
to have been no further difficulties
with land owners under the Yuma
project
In the distribution of water the
district has met with numerous diff

pear to have been handled without
serious damage or unusual cost to
the district. Canal seepage causes
considerable trouble in many places.
Attempts to correct this by inter

met with a fair measure of success.

Ponds on the prosperity of the dairy indus
try Why then does he undermine his own
prosperity by buying butter substitutes?
A man came into a local grocery store and
bought three pounds of butter substitutes
and paid for them with cream check! And
then dairy organizations ask the dealers to
discontinue carrying the substitute in stock.
1t isn't as if one gained anything by using
the substitute. Penny for penny, you get the
same food value in butter that you do in sub
stltutes. 1t takes at least SO cents worth of
substitute to give the nourishment found
IN 5O cents worth of butter. You are buy-
ing food, not decoration for your bread, and
1t has been conclusively proved that the nu-
tr1tlve values of dairy products are vital to
all OF us, growing children especially. These |
values are not found in the substitutes in 1
the same quantities or proportions that thew
are in butter
