RED CROSS IS
STILL SHORT ON
QUOTA REQUIRED

An intensive campaign to make
up El Centros quota in the Red
Cross drive, was to be waged today
and tomorrow, following a meeting
OF the executive committee held
last night in the office OF the
Southern Sierras Power Company
John w. Donohue, chairman Of
the committee, reported that the
quota is several hundred dollars
short OF the required amount AND
that a generous response from the
public is necessary in order to make
up the deficit.
we feel confident that there are
quite a number of people in Ei
Centre who have not made anv
contribution to the Red Cross, yet
could afford to do So" the chair
man stated today. Some of these
may not have been solicited, but
there is nothing to prevent them
from sending i'll their donation to
the Red Cross secretary or to any
member OF the committee.
There are others who donated
but whom we believe will want to
increase the donation when they
learn that a deficit exists.
This winter more than ever the
Red Cross needs the full support OF
the public. There are many de-
mandS made upon the organization
for relief and these demands must
be met. 1t is the duty of a COM
munity to take care of the sick and
unfortunate who may be within it's
boundaries. Humanity cannot stop
to quibble over whose job it is to
give the needed assistance, and the
Red Cross does not quibble.
In behalf of the committee, l
wish to thank all those who have
contributed and to enlist their aid
in inducing others to send in their
checks so that our quota may be
reached We don't want it said
that El Centro has failed to rally
TO the support of the Red Cross"

greatly and livestock lost.
IN Holland, a harbor wall was
destroyed at Bergen op Zoom and
city streets were flooded. Storms

Many French coastal fishing boats

in Austria.
PARIS, Nov. 25. U.P)-Rising RI
Yers threatened floods in many parts
of Europe today. Extensive dam

taken here against imminent flood
damage.
Some sections of the River Seine,
already reaching close to the level
OF the disastrous floods in 1910, was
expected to rise another 20 inches
during the day.
Police headquarters at lie de la

flooded. Infiltrations began in the
subway station at the Place ST

Inhabitants were being evacuated

1910 and 1924. Seventeen miles OF
Paris streets were flooded in 1910,

WINDOW MAN GETS PATENT
ON AUTO INVENTION

Andrew johnson of Window has
secured patent covering new at
tachment for automobile carburetion
systems. The device was installed on
the inventors car recently and has
proved successful.
The invention is motor driven de-
vice that breaks up gasoline vapor as
it enters the engine into much finer
particles. tt is a well-known fact
that great percentage of the gas
going through the process of combus-
ton is wasted. If it were correctly
broken up into vapor the mileage per
gallon would be greatly increased.
The invention does precisely that
thing, and in addition makes for a
smoother running car with more
power. Mr.. Johnson has not COM
pleted plans for production but hopes
to have the device on the market
soon.

FERTILIZER IN HILLS
MAY CUT CORN STANDS

That applying commercial fertiliz-
.er to corn in the hill or drill row is
much more effective than the older
practice of spreading the fertilizer
broadcast is a fact that has become
quite generally recognized. How
ever, since many commercial fertiliz-
ers now in use are so concentrated
that they are likely to interfere with
termination of the corn seed if they
come in contact with it, the type of
machine used in apply the fertilizer
is of the utmost Importance, says DR..
c. o. Rost, associate soil chemist of
the Minnesota experiment station.
Careful experiments made by farm
crops and soil specialists have shown
that with the proper type of attach
ments, as high as 400 pounds of
4-12-4 fertilizer per acre can be ap-
piled in the hill without seriously af-
fecting termination or stands. In
these experiments, six different ma
chimes were used to apply fertilizer
at four different rates, 100 pounds,
200 pounds, 300 pounds, and 400
pounds to the acre. Some of the bet
ter machines were found to apply the
fertilizer in such way that germina-
ton and stand were only slightly
affected, even when as much as 400
pounds per acre was applied. Other
machines, however, caused loss in
termination and stand of from 70 to
nearly 80 per cent.
Of first Importance in choosing a
fertilizer attachment is to select one
that will place the fertilizer at the
side of the hill, either in front or be-
hind, or both, and at about the same
level as the seed, being sure none of
the fertilizer comes in direct contact
with the seed, DIR. Rost says. The
distributor should also have a fairly
uniform rate of delivery for both
and heavy applications. Other i'm
portant points to be considered are
the ease of adjustment of the feed,
range in rates applied, size of hop
per, visibility of seed, hopper agita-
tors, and accessibility for easy en-
plying and cleaning.

BEAUTIFY SCHOOL SITE
WITH TREES, SHRUBS

"What a whale of difference just
a few cents make" reads the adver-
Using slogan of we'll known manu-
facturer. And what whale of diff
ference just a few trees and shrubs
make in the average country school
site, says Parker o. Anderson, extern
sion specialist in forestry of the Uni
versity of Minnesota.
No great expense is necessary IN
planting school grounds, Mr.. Ander-
son asserts. Just starting a few
plants and trees in the right places
does much toward making schools
more inviting, even when they have
been built with little attention to To-
cation or beauty.
All planting should be done to
serve a specific purpose, for the
grounds rarely look attractive if
planted in hit and miss fashion.
Mr.. Anderson has found that it is
practically necessary to remember
that trees should not obstruct the en-
trance of light into the windows and
that shrubbery should be of kind
that looks well with a minimum of
care.
Many varieties of trees are adapt
able to school ground planting in
Minnesota. Naples, ash, elm, pine,
and spruce are excellent. Hawthorne,
wild cherry and plum are good small
trees. Among the shrubs, Mr.. An
derson recommends particularly the
sumac, which is wildly colored and
interesting all winter long, high bush
cranberry, and dogwood.
