AGRICULTURAL NEWS NOTES
{ By H. F. Eaton, County Agent)
What Is The Outlook For
Agriculture?

Improved farm income requires
planned production and effective
marketing. Wise production plan
ming must precede effective market
ing. The surest way to control an
oppressive surplus is to prevent it.
No marketing machinery can insure
good prices and satisfactory income
if the farmer plants and breeds un-
wisely. The day is past when

POULTRY FIELD

A record breaking crowd attend
cd the Alamo-Nerde farm center
meeting held last evening in the
Alamo school, there being over 100
members and friends in present.
D. E. Creighton, assistant farm
advisor, spoke on IT, possibilities
f the poultry industry in Imperial
Valley. Advocating the methods used
st the Ferguson Poultry farm,
Creighton stated that the valley is
an ideal place for the industry since
q large percentage of the eggs con-
>umed locally are imported. If the
Industry increased 900 per cent, the
peaker declared, it would be jus.
arge enough t. supply the Local de
land for eggs. Birds raised for mar.
ket, however, are in excess of tas
demand here and must be exported.
AS there is no need for expensive
housing equipment. since fe d is
cheap, so per cent being raised To-
cally in the grains and alfalfa, and
since there is a large local market
for eggs, Creighton advocated the
oultry industry as one of the most
profitable of agricultural lines.
Following Creighton 3 talk, movies

then turned over to the recreation

PROSECUTION IN
D0HENY'S TRIAL
RESTS ITS CASE

WASHINGTON, Mar. 15.-U.H-
The government rested its case TO-
day in the bribery trial Of Edward
L. Dohcny.
Brief testimony from three wit
nesses and the introduction of va
rious letters and documents and the
Elk Hills naval reserve lease which
the government contends was OBJ
tanned through the bribery of Albert
3. Fall, completed the governments
case.
The closing witnesses were Cali
fornia oil men who contended that
rival oil companies had no oppor-
tunitv to bid on valuable govern
ment oil leases given the Pan-Amer-
lean Petroleum and Transport Cor
poration.
John Edwards of San Francisco,
secretary Of the Associated Oil COM
pany, testified that his concern
would have been glad to have been
given the chance to drill in the Elk
Hills naval reserve.
NJ. Z. Lombard, Berkeley, Calf,
in 1922 connected with the Pacific
Oil company, testified that his com
pany had no knowledge that drilling
in the Elk Hills reserve would be
permitted, until leases had been
given the Pan-American company,
of which Edward l.. Doheny, the de-
fendant, was president at the time
Lombardi is a new witness in the
oil eases, having taken the place of
other Pacific and Standard Oil of
ficials who testified at the earlier
trials.

SAYS HO0VER'S
DRY ATTITUDE
MUST CHANGE

WASHINGTON, Mar. 15.--WH--
Prediction that President Hoover
may be forced by changing public
sentiment to liberalize his views on
prohibition was made by Leo r
Sack, Washington correspondent OF
the Scripps Howard newspapers, in
a speech today at the City club
"Mr. Hoover's policy for the past
year has been bone dry to the maxi.
mum degree" Sack said. "But evi'
dence is acumulating that this policy
is irritating the east and encourag-
ing n situation whereby liberaliza'
tion of the 18th amendment and the
Volstead law will be bigger issue
two years hence than in the last
campaign when Al Smiths catholi-
eism confused the voters"
Declaring the movement for liber-
alization of the dry laws is gather
ing momentum, Sack said, by 1892,
when Mr.. Hoover will again pre-
sumably be n candidate, this move
ment may reach such proportions
that the president will have to no
tice it. Modification of the Volstead
law, Sack said, will be an issue in
more congressional districts next
fall than ever before since enact
ment of prohibition.
Neither vets nor drys appear to
be satisfied with present enforce
mcnt conditions, Sack added.
