T%WICE this season Washing
ton has been the host to
the Nations duckpin bowl
r. ers and now it looks to a
party all its own. The twenty
first annual tournament Of the
washington City Duckpin Asso-
citation, to open April 20 at the
Lucky Strike, will bring to a for

secretary Of the city association, Arville
EberSole, AYERS he viii be satisfied with
q few less.
Ebersole was encouraged yesterday
when Charles F. OConnell, president OF
the Knights of Columbus League, an
nolnced that the entire membership
Of his 16-team organization had made
arrangements to participate.
For the third year in row the Dis
trict National team of the Bankers
League Is the first to send in its check,
with all members competing in all the
events. A close second is the Book OF
washington team Of the Saturday
Night League.
YsHE city tournament offers the fair

plant, but there will be no conflict. The

has been promised the washington tour
nament.
Bill Wood will turn over to the Cap
ital City affair the entire second floor
OF the Lucky Strike and 1t should be
finished in three weeks.
r ;oRRAINE GULF has rolled just
- enough games to qualify for the
championship Of the Ladies Fed
eral League and has it sewed up, but
some OF the girls appear TO think the
queen of the napleways should pass up
the prizes IN favor Of the next high
bowler, who has taken part m all or
nearly all the matches.
The assumption Is that had Miss
Gdlli completed the schedule she
wouldn't have farsd so well.
IT might be assumed just as fairly
that she would have done better!
Leading bowling managers are COM
ink around to the view that too many
sweepstakes tournaments are being held.

D0WD EXPLAINS
CANAL CONTRACT
AT FARM CENTER

M. J. Dowd, chief engineer for
the Imperial Irrigation District.
spoke on the proposed American
canal contract last night before the
McCabe- Eucalyptus farm center
meeting, pointing out the salient
features of the contract and stating
the advantages that he believed
would accrue to Imperial Valley
through the construction of the
canal.
In discussing the contract and in
answering the questions of his lis
teners, the engineer brought out the
fact that the power developed on
the system would be $4,000, 900 kilo-
watt hours, most of which would be
developed at Pilot Knob and on the
portion that would serve the pres
ent irrigation district. He stated
that the power, even sold as falling
water, would be worth two mills per
kilowatt hour, or 100000 per year
as compared to the approximate
100000 to be paid annually to the
government.
In regard to the Coachella situa-
ton, DoWd brought out the fact
that the signatures of land owners
representing 81 per cent of the
acreage would nave to be secured
before Coachella coud be included.
He also stated that there would
have to be a connection on the ca
nal for Coachella as we'll as for I'm
perial Valley and that while this
might be handled as two districts,
each paying its share, it was pos
sible that the secretary of the in
terror might not consider the lands
outside of the Imperial Irrigation
District as adequate security for
their share n the project.
Dowd further stated that while
the contract might be altered there
was possibility that if it was COM
pletely rejected it might never be
offered again.
Frank Beyschlag, farm advisor,
gave an interesting talk of his re-
cent experiences on the extension
service travel conference which
toured the counties of northern CAL
ifornia.
The chief lesson derived was that
farmers in this district are not let
ting the depression defeat them but
are seeking by improved methods
of agriculture and efficient farm
management to make agriculture

PROBLEMS OF VALLEY TRUCK
CROPS STUDIED BY EXPERTS

gagged in a problem of major impor-
tance to Imperial Valley, namely
cantaloupe milaeW. He will be i'll
the valley next week working with
Ivan G. Jaggar of the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, with whom he
is cooperating on the project of
producing cantaloupe varieties re-
sistant to mildeW. This work was
also initiated by the late DR.. j. T.
Rosa. From one of the university'S
students from India, DR.. Rosa OBJ
tanned cantaloupe seed which pro-
duced plants resistant to the dis
ease. However, the fruit Of these
plants was scarcely edible. The
University of California in coopera-
ton with DR.. Jaggar of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, has
been crossing descendants of this
mildew resistant melon with COM
mercial varieties of cantaloupes.
They are confident that within g
few years they will have cantaloupe
varieties that are mildew resistant
and that will also have the same
high standard of quality possessed
by the present commercial varieties.
The division of plant pathology
of the University of California ci-
trus experiment station at River
side, represented by P A. Miller, is
also working on the cantaloupe mil
dew problem from another angle.
Miller has made a careful study Of
the life history of this disease, of
the host plants which it attacks, of
climatic conditions favoring the dis
case, and has made large number
of experiments in dusting and
spraying in an attempt to control
the disease. He has found that the
mildew is carried over winter on
squash patches which are not ade-
quately busted with sulphur for the
control of the disease.
These infected squash patches
serve as nuclei of infection for can
taloupe fields the following spring.
The obvious control is the thorough
busting of all squash patches with
sulphur through the winter and
spring. Excessive moisture around
the cantaloupe beds, brought about
by over irrigation, or the lack CT
surface drainage, tend to aid the
development of the mildew. Brush
and paper windbreaks in the same
way tend to aid mildew develop
ment, since they shade the ground
and maintain high humidity around
the plants. Miller finds that cop
per dusts and sprays are ineffective

DISTRICT MAILS
OUT STATEMENTS
OF ASSESSMENTS

Second installment assessment

percentage of delinquencies as in
former years.
The force at the collector-asses-
sor's office now is engaged In max
ing assessments for the coming
year and for the next few weeks
will be especially busy as collections
will be coming in. Part of the staff
will be employed in assessing and
transferring ownerships of property,
making valuations and writing the
new rolls.
During the months of June and
July, when the weather is warm
est" said Miss Barry, this office
has its heaviest work. While 9TH
ers are enjoying vacations or lighter
work, we have to work unusually
hard. This is necessary to to get
through the vast amount of work
handled here"
After collections close, penalties
are extended on the rolls and de-
linquent lists prepared for publica-
ton about August /. After publi-
cation of the lists, preparations
must be made for the sale on Sep
tember 8.
