BREAD NATIONS IN MOSCOW MAY

25 Per Cent Reduction Be- ing Planned = A ble Bodied Adults, Not Working to Lose Food Boxes

Moscow, Nov a0--(UP)--A s6 per cent reduction of bread rations In Moscow was expected today on the basis of widespread but m. confirmed reports. Communist speakers were known to have told factory mass meetings that the re- ducti0n was necessary sacrifice to overcome temporary difiicpt. ties. Some factories made reduc- tons voluntarily, several towns tn South Russia did likewise.
 The government was anxious to avoid tho reduction in the capital. It would mean that factory wcrh.. CTS would receive only apound and one half of bread q day, and oiliee workers only three-quarters Of . pound. Able bodied adults not working would lose their food books.

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 81
(LN.S.) ).-G Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt will make a personal
appeal tomorrow night over
a nationwide radio hook-up
to the rank and file of the
Democratic party in an effort
to fill the $1,500,000 presi-
dental campaign war chest.
With campaign contributions
running far behind the desired
amount, the Democratic high
command" has decided to appeal
to the little fellows" for contri-
buttons ranging from 81 to So.
1t has been pointed out to the
governor by those in charge of
party finances that the war chest
can be filled if 100000 of the
rank and file of the party will
contribute 81 each.
Farley Plea Set
Democratic leaders believe a
personal appeal by Roosevelt will
do more than anything else to
insure success of their drive for
funds.
The governor will make his ap-
peal from the executive mansion
study. 1t will be followed by
similar radio appeals in New
York by James A. Farley, chair
man of the national committee,
and former Gov. Harry Byrd,
vice chairman of the finance COM
mittee.
Reports that his demand for
Federal regulation of Wall Street
and commodity markets has
caused the big money interests"
in the Democratic party to clamp
down on contributions to the
campaign fund are not taken seri
Ously by Governor Roosevelt.

within 48 hours will file in court
petition challenging the right
of his divorced wife, Lita Grey
Chaplin, to place their young
sons, Charles, jr., 7, and Earl.
Tommy" 6, in motion pictures,
he announced today.
Chaplin said he either would
seek an injunction or ask mod
ification of an agreement entered
into with Mrs. Chaplin over the
children at the time of the
divorce.
Mrs. Chaplin is under contract
with the Fox film studio to ap-
pear in five pictures with the
two boys.
Chaplin to date has paid $1,000
a month for support of his sons
in addition to the $650,O0O he
gave Mrs. Chaplin in settlement
when they were divorced five
years ago. His attorney said:
Chaplin believes that entrance
of his sons into motion pic
lures at their tender ages will
interfere with their normal de-
development and take from
them the pleasures enjoyed by
other children of similar ages"

This measure was put forward
by several scientists, chief of

He recommended the type of

advice is limited to unmarried

"Since prevention is better
than cure, any agency in this
field will naturally prefer to
reach it's clients before they
are in difficulties rather than
afterwards.
''If people can be advised eff
fectively before marriage, such
an agency naturally has eu-
genie value in promoting wise
marriages and discouraging un-
wise ones. From this view
point, the movement has been

School Notes

The high school library opened last
week and already many volumes have
gone into circulation. There are about
thirteen hundred books available for
use, of these about six hundred are
fiction and the rest nOn-fiction and
reference volumes. Last year under the
direction of Miss Duvall, who has had
special training in library care and
methods, the school library was cata-
logued and reorganized, and many of
the books rebound and put back into
circulation. Miss Duvall has organized
a library staff composed of Senior
girls who assist her with the library
work and are in charge Of the library
at definite periods Of the day. They
are as follows:
Doris Hemker, 9:3O-1O:15; Doris
Holecek, 10:15-1 100; Marguerite Penn
11:00-12:00; Capitola Griffith, l00-
200; Helen Wheeler, 2:OO-3:OO.
The library is not open until one
half hour after school opens in the
morning, and closes one half hour be-
fore school closes in the afternoon
Books may be borrowed for two weeks
and charge of one cent is made foi
all overdue books. Reference books
are not allowed out of the library al
though many of the non-fiction books

Importance of Measuring
Irrigation Water Urged

According to irrigation investiga-
tional work at the Irrigation Branch
Experiment Station, it seems advisable
that the irrigation farmer inaugurate
a water measurement practice. Where
the supply of water is limited careful
distribution is necessary and should be
made in accordance with the reservoir
capacity OF the soil and the water re-
quirement of the crop grown. This I'M
mediately brings the question to mind:
What is the water requirement? Water
requirement, in the strict sense of the
word, means the pounds of water re-
quired to produce one pound of dry
plant material. The irrigation farmer
generally thinks Of water requirement
as the acre inches of water required
to produce q normal yield. 1t has been
found at the Irrigation Branch E,X-
pertinent Station that the water re-
quirementS for various crops grown on
fine sandy loan soil are as follows:
Ten-year-old apple trees with excel
lent alfalfa cover crop, 40 acre inches;
alfalfa hay, 40 acre inches; potatoes
and corn 80 acre inches; wheat, "a
acre inches. These figures are all very
general and f1uctuate a great deal ac-
cording to seasonal conditions.
There are two common methods of
water measurement. First, the Cippo-
letti weir and second, the submerged
orifice, the former being by far the
most popular. The submerged orifice
is practical where there is not suffi-
cient fall to use weir. The amount of
water applied to a specific piece of land
can be readily calculated by either of
the two methods of measurement. For
example, the water for ten acres of
land is diverted to the farm over a
pinch Cippoletti weir. The heighth of
the water on the crest of the weir
indicates the cubic feet per second
flow. This information is readily avail

do circulate.
The townspeople of White Bluffs are
invited to make use of the school Ii
brary especially the non-flction and
reference shelves.
The teachers of the White Bluffs
public schools have gone one hundred
per cent in membership for the w.

sociatiom. This organization is for the
betterment Of the teaching profession
and lends strength to educational leg
islation and educational movements in

the White Bluffs teachers that they
have responded so willingly in the call
from their professional organization

able in water measurement tables of
the Reclamation Service. BY multiply
ing the cubic feet per second flow over
the weir by 5000, the cubic feet per
hour are obtained. There are 43,56O
cubic feet in one acre foot. If rs of
an acre is being irrigated with seven
eighths of an inch over twelve-inch
Cippoletti weir, equal to .06 cubic feet
per second, and the water is allowed to
run for "a hours, the amount of water
can be calculated as follows: 06 times
5000 is equal to ZIG cubic meet per hour
or 51S4 cubic feet in twenty-four hours.
One-fourth acre represents 10,89O
square feet on which the 5184 cubic
feet have been applied This is equal
to 5184 divided by 1089O times 100, or
47.7 per cent of an acre foot which
equals 5.72 acre inches. Under ordinary
conditions, two acre inches Of water
are required per foot of soil to fill it
to field capacity. Therefore, this ap-
plication would wet approximately the
hrst three feet. Under various condi-
lions, the amount of run-off water
ana the loss in the distribution system
before the water reaches the land must
be discounted from the 5184 cubic feet.
Large amounts of run-off water may
be due to two factors: Too much water
is being supplied from the feed ditch
or the rate of penetration into the soil
is very slow. In some cases.. run-or
may be combination of both factors.

FIRST BATTLE OVER

Well, the first skil1nish is over. Some good
men and probably some that were not 50 good,
went down in that first charge. From on, the
issues will be more clearly drawn and the candi-
dates will be far less numerous in the big battle
in November. So many candidates were running
in the primary that the average voter con-
fused.
For instance, the Republicans presented seven
a like number None of the fourteen had state
wide reputation and in many cases the voter just
shut his eyes and made cross. AS result, Vic
Meyers, "Personality Candidate'' in the mayor
atty in Seattle last spring, energies the
Democratic nominee. Maybe Vic is as good as any
of the others, but aside from the entertainment he
provided as harmony'' candidate in an other
wise bitter Seattle city election contest the only
general reputation he enjoys is that Of being the
leader Of good orchestra.
