NEW SCHOOL LAW
AFFECTS EASTERN
PART OF COUNTY

That one OF the pending bills in
the legislature Will, if passed. con-
siderably affect Imperial county.
was the statement made today by
c. B. Collins, county superintendent
of schools.
This bill, No. 1868. proposed by
Jespersen, will require the annexa-
ton to some high school district on
the part of every elementary dis
trict not already in a high school
district. The provisions are so def
mite and specific that there is no
means of evading the issue.
The only choice the district has
in the matter is that it may. upon
application of its own board of trus-
tees, call an election and vote as to
which district it prefers to belong
Otherwise it is annexed 10 the near
est district.
The districts most seriously af-
fected in this county will be those
OF the river region, Bard, Andrade,
Winterhaven, etc. all of whom are
40 miles or more from the nearest
high school building.
If the law is passed, students will
either have TO attend the nearest
high school, which in this case is
Holtville or high school district
will have TO be created there. Due
to the fact that the assessed valua-
ton in this region is low, money
for building a school is not avail
able. II the. children must go TO
Holtville, the long distance, and the
fact that the districts will contri-
butte little money to the support of
the Holtville school, constitute a
drawback.
AT present many of these children

IRON SALTS USED
in OVERCOMING
TREE DISEASES

ChloroSis of trees, where it is in
dueed by an excess of lime in the
soil. may be overcome through the
use of iron salts, either by deposit
ing these in trenches which expose
the roots, by injecting solution of
the salts in the tree. or by deposit
ing the dry salts in holes bored in
the. trunk. These methods are des-
cribed fully in Circular 32l of the
University of California College of
Agriculture. written by DR.. j. p.
Bennett, associate professor of plant
physiology. The circular may be
obtained free from the college at
Berkeley or from the farm advisors
office at El Centro.
In the trench method. bitches
several inches wide are dug around
the tree to a depth of one or two
feet, and ferrous sulphate, or cop
peras, is strewn along the trench
bottom. The trench is then refilled
and the soil heavily watered.
injections of soluble iron salts,
such as copperas, iron chloride, iron
nitrate or others. is accomplished by
oissolving them in water at the rate
of an ounce per gallon. A short
pipe is screwed into hole bored
in the tree, and a gentle pressure
induced from a reservoir we'll above
the hole. The hole is then sealed
with grating wax.
Dry salts are placed in holes in
the tree with good results, water
from the surrounding wood dissolv-
ing them. They are then carried
through the tree by the sap flow.
The hole is sealed after they are
deposited.
DR.. Bennett gives directions as to
methods OF using these prepara-
tions and the amounts given the
tree according to size. The treat
ment should be given during the
dormant season and its effective
ness is over q period of about three
years.
