With the present supply of water
in the Colorado River far below
normal this season may be a diff
exit one according to Frank BeySeh-
lag, farm advisor. Other sections OF
the state also are faced with a de-
ficient water supply. The slogan
which he states is suggested by the
Agricultural Extension Service for
a dry year in these other areas may
also well be adapted in Imperial
Valley. II is. Save water. prevent
fires. buy better. II the water sup
ply is short, then we must use what
we have as economically as posi-
Bile. II the country is dry. then
we must prevent fires and take
all precautions against the loss Of
valuable property. If finances are
low and money scarce. then We
should do our buying intellingently,
should spend for those things that
will do US the most good.
If water shortage should become
so severe that some parts of the
farm must remain dry, permanent
crops, such as trees, vines, and alf-
alta should be given first conSid-
Grafton in utilizing available water.
All competing vegetation should
be removed from orchards and vine
yards. Even a sparse growth OF
weeds competes with trees and vines
for available soil moisture. When
water is scarce all growing cover
crops should be turned under at
once. Turning under cover crops cul-
tivate only to the depth necessary
to kill the crop. 1t is not necessary
TO till deeply. There is an actual
waste of moisture by deep cultiva-
ton. as roots are kept from utiliz-
ing any moisture in the stirred por-
ton of the soil.
When water is available, a
thorough irrigation should be given
to wet the entire root zone to its
full depth. With the entire soil
mass wetted. the plant will have a
reservoir of water on which 1t may
draw until the supply is exhausted. I
It is not necessary to wet deeper !
than the roots extend. The usual
depth of roofing trees, vines and
alfalfa is about six feet; OF grain, |
corn and sorghum. about four feet. |
Variety In Soils
Soils vary in their capacity 10 1
hold water and care should be ex-
ercised in applying water SO that I
adequate amounts are applied, but
without waste. Sandy soils do not /
hold much water; hence, heavy ap-
plications on soils of this type re-
suit in loss Of water by deep per-
collation.. Heavy soils have water |
holding capacities and require heavy

manufacturers unless they see the
advantage of it first and get them
on the market before foreign made
cigarettes get into this country.
This seems evident from recent
news dispatch coming out of Rus
sia. The story was to the effect that
the Russian cigarette manufacturers
have hit on the idea Of adding a lit
tie color to their product, and natur-
ally, and in keeping with everything
else in Russia, it is announced that
the first of the colored cigarettes
will have red wrappers. So it is
probable that before long when a
cigarette smoker pulls out his pack
of cigarettes, he will draw oua a
red fag instead of the ordinary
white wrapped smoke.
The news story about these COL
ored cigarettes, says that they will
not be quite so long as the ones
which are now on the market, and
that they will also be slightly larg-
er in diameter.
Now whether or not the men folks
will fall for this idea has not yet
been definitely determined It is
more than likely that the wCraen
smokers will flock to the counters
where they are being offered for
sale in larger numbers at first than
will the men.

GN.SJ insanity will be the
plea of William Frazier when he
faces a jury on the charge of
numbering his sweetheart, Mrs.
Phoebe Stader.
The Railway man will claim
he shot her accidentally with a
.22-caliber rifle, which he said he
carried in his car as protection
against stickupS.
And then, to offset the sinister
appearance of the auto ride with
his victim lying lifelesss in his
car and his action in dumping her
body in, a Virginia thicket 48
hours later, he will contend
that a frenzy of fear gripped him
and he didn't realize what he
was doing.
Blocked yesterday in - his first
attempt to re-enact the death
parade and have the slayer point
out the exact spot where the
lethal bullet was fired, Prosecu-
tor Abe j. David expects to make
another effort Monday.
Frazer has said the shooting
occurred in Union county, shortly
after he and Mrs. Stader had
driven past motor plant.

But he slipped into the theater

It was the most spectacular

the distinguished group of no

Lord and Lady AStor. George
