OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
(By County Agent E. c. Durdle)

A two-day poultry school will be
held in the Prosser community Janu-
airy 10 and 10. A one-day school will
be held at Kennewick on the Goth and
will be joint school between Ken
newick and Pasco. There have been
several factors in the arranging of
special schedules which have made it
difficult to get definite dates until re-
Gently. Now that these dates have
been set, definite arrangements will be
made in the very near future as to
detailed program and these will be sent
to the poultrymen through circular
letters.
1t is hoped that weather will be
rather normal for this during that time
so that poultrymen will be able to at
tend without considerable worry in re-
gard to the care of the flock at home.
w. D. Buchanan, extension poultry
man, will be with us to present sub
ject matter and lead discussion on the
main poultry production problems. F.
A. Givan of the marketing department
will be with us to present and discuss
phases of marketing and record keep
ing. Normally, Mr.. Turner presents the
marketing and record work but he hap
pens to be tied up at this particular
time on other work. Mr.. Givan, how
ever, is very we'll qualified, particularly
in marketing and we feel sure will
give the poultrymen information which
may lead to lively discussion.
Turkeys as we'll as poultry as is al
ready spoken up will be considered at
each school.

Irrigation In Valley
was acceptable to all the water right
owners. It was necessary that all of
them be in agreement before a settle
ment could be reached.
CONTINUED from page u

Following the failure to reach a set
Element, the stockholders OF the Han
ford company decided to bring suit to
quiet title to the Priest Rapids pro-
perties, the decree in the Benson re-
ownership not having defined the rights
of the Hanford water right owners.
After the suit was started, the World
War broke out, and as many OF the
water right owners were in the SER
vice. the suit was not prosecuted until
after the Armistice, when it was heard
before Judge Rudkin in the United
States Court in Spokane and Yakima.
The court decided that the Priest Rap
ids properties were not obligated or
bound perpetually to furnish water to
the Hanford water right lands, and
that the company could use any source
of supply or any means OF supplying
water in the Hanford canal without
binding the Priest Rapids property in
any way. A group OF Hanford water
right owners appealed from this decl-
sion to the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals sitting in San Francisco.
The Circuit Court rendered an opinion
reversing the Rudkin decision and, IN
effect, established perpetual equitable
trust for the benefit of the Hanford
water right owners in the power and
pumping properties. Then followed the
issuance of a decree in accordance
with the opinion of the Circuit Court,
which is commonly known as the de-
cree in the Adamson case. 1t was
signed by Judge Webster in the Dis
trict Court in Spokane in May, 1925.
The original Hanford contracts, with
one or two exceptions, provided for the
payment of an annual maintenance
fee of $15O per acre, not to be changed
until May, 1918, and thereafter such
reasonable annual maintenance fee as
should be established by the irrigation
company. Mr.. Benson, as receiver, fixed
a rate of $500 per acre, which was
charged during the irrigation season Of
1913 and 1914. The Consumers Ditch
company, which had taken over the
canal property commencing with the
spring Oh 1910, llAeu q Ae'0S ~ VIZ - :
rigation season of 1915 OF S7.OO per
acre and collected this sum from those
lands actually using water, delivering
only the contract allowance OF 81 acre
inches. A group Of water right owners,
protesting the $500 per acre rate and
the restriction of the flow of water to
only the contracted allowance, filed a
complaint with he Public Service Com
mission of washington, wnereupon the
Commission held valuation and rate
hearing in Kennewick in January, 1916
The Public Service Commission, fol-
lowing the hearing, issued an order
fixing value for rate making purposes
of $4,000 on the ditch property, which
was the price at which Mr.. Lyons hao

Even though the women of
the early Nineteenth century
scorned crowned heads, Corona
ton patterns were popular for
quilts and so today they still
are favorites. This graceful
variation makes charming

Another attractive feature of
this quilt is that scraps of ma
terial can be used to form the
rounded patches, at the sides
of the blacks. This feature
makes it especially popular as
a Friendship Quilt, for it offers
the opportunity of using va
riety Of material harmoniously.

CHURCH IMPROVES GROUNDS BY
PLANTING TREES AND SHRUBS

An enterprise not only of benefit
to the church but of a civic value
es well, took place Sunday morn
ing, following services at the Pres
byterian church, when many
shrubs and trees were planted and
dedicated at an impressive and
beautiful ceremony or the church
grounds.
Rev. Irving T. Raab, pastor of the
church, was in charge of the love
ly service, and his appropriate and
inspiring dedicatory remarks. were
of benefit and spiritual comfort TO
his followers. Othneil Horne placed
the Shovelfun of earth as each tree
CT plant was dedicated.
Since the building of the church,
approximately in 1915, while many
suggestions have been made in re-
gard TO Identification of the church
grounds. no action was taken since
funds were lacking and it was not
felt advisable to spend money at
the time.
Some time ago members of the
church guild had a new lawn and
Sprinkling system installed as the
guilds gift to the church. This
expanSe of velvety green lawn
makes an excellent beginning for
the additional planting which has
Just been performed.
A few palms and a eucalyptus
Imperial Valley press., 1933-03-17

| tree were already in place and in
addition, 81 shrubs ane climbing
roses and vines, four plumosa palms
and four Italian cypress have been
planted.
The shrubbery and trees have
been set at intervals in the church
yard according to a we'll planned
landscape design, while roses, jas
mine and honeySuckle have been
planted along the back fence. Thus
in time the Presbyterian church
garden will be one of the beauty
spots of the community and the
members will have the satisfaction
not only of having improved their
own property, but of having made
he city more attractive. All trees
and shrubs are evergreens and
those which do well in this climate.
At the opening of the service,
Mrs. Hugh T. Osborne sang the
lovely song, Joyce Kilmer's Trees
AS the formal service proceeded,
Rev. Raab in dignified and appro-
pirate fashion, dedicated the var
Ious trees.
One tree was dedicated 70 Rev.
Thomas E. Stevenson who built the
church and served as it pastor from
l915-19; another to Rev. George A.
Hartman who was pastor from 1919
until his death in 1929, and another
to Rev. John S. A Gum, pastor
for the past two years, and one by
the door. to welcome the congre-
cation, to the present pastor, Rev.
living T. Raab.
A cypress was dedicated to the
socletv, palm 70 the
guild, another tree to the elders
and trustees of the church, a palo
verde tree to the young people of
the church. the vines growing by
the fence to the Sunday school, a
palm to the choir.
In order to raise funds for this
planting, each family in the church
was asked to make a donation and
in this way a sufficient sum was Sc
cured while in addition each men,

the garden.

In a talk given before members
and friends of the El Centro Cham
ber Of Commerce Wednesday Ros-
coe A. Goodcell, OF the public
speaking bureau Of the Automobile
Club OF Southern California, ex-
planned the proposed state legisla-
tion to take county highways into
the state secondary highway sys-
tenn. which. if adopted, would
change about 300 miles of Imperial
county roads from county to state
upkeep.
The automobile, Goodcen stated,
has made roads a state rather than
local problem because it has en-
larged distances of travel. Appro-
priations have been made from
state funds for upkeep of highways
at various times in the past, and
under the present system of high
way maintenance, the motorist pays
Imperial Valley press., 1933-03-17
SPEAKER EXPLAINS PROPOSED
ROAD CHANGES TO CHAMBER

a four cent per gallon gasoline tax,
three cents Of which goes to the
state and one cent to the United
States. In addition, each car own
er pays a three dollar license fee
and a personal property tax on his
car. OF this about one cent of the
gas tax goes TO the state for con-
struction and development of high
ways, one cent 20 the government.
one cent and half the registration
fees to the state for maintenance of
the present highway system and
one cent and half the registration
fees to the counties in proportion
to motor vehicles registered. In ad-
dition, the government gives sew
eral million dollars to the state for
highway work.
The speaker explained that there
are 1887 miles of roads in the state
highway system and IL California
there are $1,000 miles of county
roads, many not improved. This
means that the state system in
cludes nine per cent of the state
reads, carries % per cent Of the
traffic and receives Sc per cent OF
the revenue, as against the county
roads, comprising 81 per cent OF
the state mileage, carrying rs per
cent Of the traffic and receiving
"a per cent of the revenue. There
have been many moves to divert
some of this gas tax money to other
funds. Goodcen stated, but it seems
only just that, as the motorist is
paying this money at rate of S16
on the 500 valuation. It should be
spent for the motorist as originally
Imperial Valley press., 1933-03-17

intended on upkeep and construc-
ton of highways.
The plan before the state legis-
lature proposes that the state add
to the secondary roads 1924 miles.
This would include about half of
the county roads now carrying the
greatest amount of traffic as well
as highways through cities which
connect state highways. Under
this plan state highways would
take care of 66 per cent of the
traffic of the state and receive Sc
per cent of the tax revenue.
THE primary system would re-
main the same stated the speak
er, but over $500 miles would be
added to the secondary system, di-
vided between the northern and
southern parts of the state, and the
present revenue would be sufficient
to take care of this added state
mileage, and the counties will still
have one cent of the gas tax and
one-half of the registration fee for
upkeep of county roads. If this leg
islation is adopted county roads to
be taken into the secondary system
will be selected by the state legis-
lature upon recommendation of
boards of supervisors, city councils,
chambers of commerce, farm bu-
reaus, and similar bodies. Under
this plan the highways of the state
will be coordinated into system,
complete from north to south,
which will be supported by present
tax revenues. The plan is sound,
fair, necessary and feasible and
would insure the motorists money
being spent where it will directly
benefit the fn0torictc -

Columns numbering 400 narchers are
already in Columbus. While the

Ohio start today wednesday,. Near
ly so per cent Of the marchers are
youth.
The schedule of the marchers is to
hold state conference June 26. The
following day they will present de-
mandS to Governor White. 1t is re-
ported that the state legislature is
ready to adjourn Saturday without
considering the needs for relief of
the johless in this state,
Among the demands which will be
presented are: Doubling of the re-
lief rate; the State favors Federal
unemployment insurance at the ex-
pense of the bosses and government;
and a moratorium on debts and tax
es for small farm and home owners.
The marchers will send a delega-
ton to the national convention of
the Unemployed Citizens Leagues
which meet here July LIST calling for

cd organizations.
State Orders Attack
The state government issued or
ders to local authorities to deny food
and shelter and rush the marchers
through the towns denying them the
right to hold meetings and talk to
workers.
Police Interfere
The Toledo column met police in
reference at Bowling Green. The
mass support of the workers and the
militancy of the marchers broke thru
the terror and made it possible to
hold an excellent meeting in the
town. In New Philadelphia the po-
lice also threatened the marchers.
