REPORT STATES
TURKEYS TO BE
LOWER In PRICE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. U.D -
Thanksgiving turkeys will be cheap
er and more plentiful than last year.
The department of agriculture, In
special report prepared today for
the United Press after the first tur-
keys had moved to market, said
that while the demand was still un-
certain the trade expected turkeys
to be four to five cents below the
1880 price.
Unless prices are low the public
may buy chickens and ducks, the
latter being especially low priced.
The initial movements are not ex-
pected to be heavy. Last year the
late prices were better than early
offerings and farmers are expected
to hold their turkeys now for later
marketing.
No figures are available or the
number of turkeys in the country
but the department estimated there
were about per cent more on the
farms than at this time last year.
California showed the largest per-
centage of increase, the 1881 figure
being II 8per cent OF last years to-
tai. Texas is the leading turkey
raising region while other heavy
producing states are Missouri. Okla
homa. Kentucky and Virginia.

RECALL IS
AIMED AT.
DIRECT OR
President BrOckman Is
Accused OF Obstructing
Canal PrOect.
CHARGES OUTLINED
Petition For Removal
Election Filed With Sec
/, retary McIyer.

Petitions demanding the recall Of
c. w. Brockman, Imperial Irriga-
ton district director from the CAL
exico division and chairman of the
board, are being circulated today.
Five reasons for demanding the
recall are set forth on the petitions.
That construction of the All-Amer-
can canal Is of vital importance to
district landowners and assessment
payers and that Brockman has op-
posed and does now oppose its con-
struction; has used and is using
every means at his command to pre-
vent the construction is the first
of the five reasons.
Second, in order to prevent, him
der or delay construction, Brockman
issued and caused to be widely cir
culated statements in his Official ca
pacity as director purporting to give
facts concerning the All-American
canal and the proposed contract
and repayment of the costs thereof,
many of which alleged facts were
and are untrue, made for the pur-
pose of breaking down and had a
tendency to break down public con-
fidence in the project"
As a third reason, the petitions
set forth that "Brockman was in
strumental in forming an alleged
organization called Water Rights
Protective association and has been
and is a leading member of the al
legged organization and said alleged
organization has consistently put
forward alleged facts and proposals
designed to break down the conf
dence of the people in the All-Amer-
n ican canal and proposed contract
and which statements and proposals
If acted upon would defeat the ALI
American canal"
The fourth reason, Imperial 1r-
rigation district through long ano
careful study and negotiation has
executed a contract for apportion-
ment Of Colorado river water in Cal
ifornia to enable the All-Americar
canal contract to be made and the
canal to be constructed. Said con-
tract is to the best interests OF the
district but Brockman has and does
oppose said contract ana tnrougr
court actions and otherwise Is at
tempting to defeat said contract anC
break down and destroy public con-
fidence."
The fifth and last reason SCI
forth: "Brockman has issued public
statements of alleged facts concern
ing the financial affairs of the I'm
perial Irrigation district and the al
legged financial burdens which the
proposed All-American canal con-
tract would create, which statements
are exaggerated, unjust and untrue
and tend to injure and destroy the
credit and standing of Imperial 1r'
rigation district, which credit ane
standing it is his duty as an Officer
of said district to maintain and de-
fend"
1t will be necessary for these pc
titions to be signed by 102 persons.

COST OF BREAD
TOO HIGH SAYS
EXPERT ON FOOD

NEW YORK, Nov. 7. U.P) -
American housewives are in revolt
against the high cost of bread, ac-
cording to Mrs. Julia Heath, ma
tionally known food expert.
There was a time when wives
found it cheaper and more conve-
nient to buy their bread at the
bakery" she said, "but they are
baking their own bread now"
Mrs. Heath said she is receiving
more requests for bread receipts
than ever before.
women who manage the family
budgets see no reason for paying
high prices for bread when both
wheat and flour prices are way
down. 1t is true that there recently
has been slight increase in the
price of flour and wheat, and some
reduction in the price of bread
notably among the chain stores, but
broadly speaking these has not beer
reduction in the price of bread
commensurate with the reduced
costs of wheat and flour.
I'm England today they are SELL
ing two pound loaves made from
American flour at 71a cents while
right here in New York bread from
the same flour costs 10 cents weigh
ing only one pound, four ounces.
There is no reason why the price
of bread in America should not
come down."

is closed.
i Conkling requested the case bt
continued over today because. ht
explained, he must try a case ir
federal court today, as well as pre-
! pare instructions for the HeaC
case.
Only one witness was of para
mount Importance yesterday after
noon. DR.. John L. Parker was
called to the witness stand. Defense
counsel then put to him a hypothe-
tical case based on evidence brought
out during this trial relative to the
character of Ernest Puryear.
| When he had heard of the vari-
Gus alleged acts Of violence, DR.
Parker, in response to direct uues-
| ton, stated his belief a man who
did such things must be insane.
Two other witnesses called by the
defense were Mrs. Elizabeth Blake
more and j. M. Carmack. Mrs
Blakemore's testimony was much
the same as that Of other witnesses
who have told of violence by Pur-
year before he was killed by Head
September 8.
Carmack's testimony was of little
value to either the defense or prose
cution, dealing as it did with let
ter he saw another man reading il
Brawley pool hall several months
ago. The letter contained threat:
against Head, the defense contends
and was from Puryear. Carmack
however, did not read the letter.

SAYS COMMUNISM
NOT SUCCEEDING
AMONG RUSSIANS

ONTARIO, Cal, Nov. 7. W.H-
Russia will succeed in its five-year
plan, but the country will be long
time recovering from the stupend-
Gus project, Cromie Allen, former
Ontario publisher, and former
president of the California Newspa-
per Publishers association, said to-
day upon his return from his sec
ond visit to the Soviet Republic.
America is clutched by fear of
Russia and Russians, but such fear
is groundless," Allen said. THE
Russian regime will be modified
greatly. Two years ago, upon my
first visit, I found many modifica-
tions in its plan of operation. This
summer, found many more.
Although not openly admitted. it
is agreed that Communism isn't
working, and that Russia is really
working under state capitalism. AL
ready they have started to give up
the so-called five-day week for
continuous production, with the
same day of rest for all.
Russian people think America is
the greatest and grandest country
in the world, and all hope for a time
when America will be able to work
to the advantage of both. Russia
should prove to be Americas best
market when education spreads and
| liberaliZeS the people"
Allen said he was permitted to
go where he pleased and see what
he wanted throughout Russia. and
was not hampered by official
guides.
