check on the conversion bank. A dollar
market will be created for these reichs-
mark checks, Dulles explained. He in

mately SO per cent OF the face value OF
the check.

Hartman & Co., this phase of the
German offer was explained as follows:
The Reichsbank has declared that
1t will contribute as much as possible to

The JesperSen primary election
bill went down to defeat in the sem
ate after one of the most dramatic
battles of the session.
The measure provides voters may
change their party affiliation on
primary election day. Present law
stipulates no voter may change his
party preference within 80 days of
election.
With only Senator Ralph Swing
absent, the vote was 20 ayes; 10
no. Swing returned and voted no.
Then three senators quickly
changed their votes from aye to
no.
Jespersen contended the bill was
a progressive move designed to give
the voter greater freedom. Oppon-
ents held it would mean breakdown
of the party system, and an era of
free -for-all elections controlled by
demagogueS.

DISCUSS flax
RAISING HERE

Possibilities that flax may prove
the most profitable crop grown
commercially in the valley were
voiced by j. A. Kagan of San Fran
cisco who spoke last night to pros
pective growers at a meeting helo
in the court house.
He outlined possibilities Of flax
growers association which he be-
lieVes will offer something entirely
new in cooperative marketing.
Growers would deliver the product
to privately owned mills where the
oil would be manufactured at flat
rate charge and the product would
then be returned to the growers
for sale.
Flax seed, a perishable product,
would thus be made into non per-
ishable product in the form of oil
and cake. The demand for these
products he declared to be great
and market conditions excellent.
Imperial Valleys growing condi-
tons are excellent and the Melo-
land experiment station has already
done considerable work on varieties
suited to the valley. w. w. Weeth,
foreman, has broken the worlds
record for the largest production
per acre.

THE POLICEMAN'S LOT
is NOT A HAPPY ONE

Police must always be on the al
ert for they never can tell what
they may be called upon to do, all
in the line Of civic duty and for
the protection of citizens. They may
also be requested to perform GER
tain acts which are not an all u.s.
ually connected with police duty.
This was eXemplified this morn
ing by two calls which came in to
the local headquarters.
The first was from a small boy
who wanted the department to
come to his home Immediately and
investigate a terrible robbery which
had occurred during the night.
When the officer arrived on the
scene he was taken into the back
yard and shown a brood of small
chickens and was told that four of
the pets had disappeared during
the night, and, oh, could the nice
policeman please bring them back.
The officer returned to headquar-
tiers, willing to be of assistance but
hardly knowing where to start his
search for the lost pets.
The other call was of an entire
ly different nature. An irate fem
mine voice demanded protection of

TWO LEADING
BILLS PASSED

Laborites supporting the presiden-
tial program.
Voting against were seven Demo-
Gratis and 70 Republicans.
The chambers action, following
senate approval last week, makes
possible policy of currency eX-
pansicn unprecedented since the
Civil war crisis.
Under house rules, final passage
of the omnibus inflation-farm re-
lief measure was not possible to-
day. But the vote of approval for
the currency sections was equivalent
to final authorization for the Pre-
sident to manage national credit
and money without further con-
gressional check.
Earlier, the house sent the strict
ly farm aid sections of the bill to
conference with the senate, where
differences between the two cham
bers will be smoothed out. Final pas
sage of the entire measure after
the conferees have completed their
work, expected early next week.
The currency and credit infla-
ton sections were approved this
afternoon in exactly the form
passed by the senate, thus elimin-
ating all necessity for compromise
on this unparalleled legislation.
The house action vested the Pre-
sident with permiSsive, but not
mandatory, authority to:
/. Arrange with the federal re-
serve board for credit expansion
through purchase of government
securities in the open market; and
$4,000, 100000 maximum special
purchase to be held for definite
periods.
2. Issue $4,000, 100000 in new pa
per money.
8. Authorize the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver as at any ra-
ito to gold the President decides
upon.
4. Alter the gold content of the
dollar by as much as so per cent.
5. Accept maximum of $780,
100000 in silver from foreign ma
lions in partial payment for war
debts.
Victory for the inflationists, Bit
terly contested by a stubborn Re-
publican minority, marked the COM
plete triumph of those who hold
that expansion presents the way
out of current economic difficult
ties.
It's double purpose is to enable
the administration so to direct cur
rency and credit policies as to sta
billie and raise the domestic price
level; and to forge a weapon to be
used in the international battle of
currencieS and world trade.
An extensive campaign of rodent
control has been started in the Tu-
lare Lake basin.

RECLAMATION OF ALKALINE
LANDS SHOWN AT MEETING

sum which are valuable to the val
ley soil. in fact form the salvation
for the valley, Beyschlag declared.
OF the harmful ingredients, there is
one showing gain, since more chlor-
inc is drained out than comes in.
Beyschlag pointed out that there
are two classes Of alkali land, one
where there is no water table and
one which mas a high water table.
In the former instance over-irriga-
tion will leach the land so that the
salt is carried below the root zone
where it can do no harm. If ordi-
nary methods of irrigation are used,
the salt will accumulate in the root
zone Lands with a high water
table need drainage since the water
moves by capillarity TO the surface
where evaporation leaves the salt
deposit.
Contour flooding for orchards,
heavy irrigation for alfalfa and con-
tour borders in preparing seed beds
for vegetables where the soil is
heavy, are recommended to avoid
salt deposits.
Beyschlag pointed out that he is
hopeful for the future of the valley
since methods of combating salt
deposits are known and since when
Boulder dam is completed the salt
content of the water coming to the
valley will be diluted almost so per
cent
E. E. Thomas, soil chemist of the
Riverside Citrus Experiment station
then described the experiments
performed under his direction by
Leslie Mcconnell. A five acre plot
was divided into three plots in May
of 1929. One plot received only
applications of water The other
two, after being leveled, were given
sulphur, gypsum and barnyaro
manure in varying amounts. They
then received three applications OF
water, the land being flooded first
for an IL day period, and the Other
/ two times for six weeks each.
Cover crops were sown in tn;

ia was seeded. With the exception
of the first cutting the land OF

the police lest everything she own
ed in the world should be taken by
thieves. 1t was high time, the same
voice announced, that the citizens
of this town should be protected
against petty thieves, ETC., etc. On
the jump the patrol left headquar-
ters prepared to quell an army of
invading thieves.
On arriving at the scene, the Of
ficer was taken to the rear of the
house and into the alley. With a
somewhat dramatic gesture the wo-
man of the irate voice pointed to
a garbage receptacle standing in
solitary loneliness, minus its lid
which had been blown off by the
wind and was lying some SO feet
further down the alley.
That, dear reader was the reason
for the call and the incest part of
the story is yet to come. The above
mentioned lady of the irate voice
practically demanded that the Of
ficer should recover the lid and put
it back once more in its proper
place. However, we failed to ask
this officer whether or not he per-
formed that part of his police du-
ties to the uttermost satisfaction
of the lady with the irate voice.

Reclamation of alkali lands and
proper methods of irrigating to meet
the salt problem which confronts
the owner of good or bad lands,
were discussed at meeting of in
terested farmers held this morning
on the Mike Procsal ranch under
the auspices of the extension SER
vice of the University of California.
These experiments, conducted by
the extension service on a plot of
land leased from Procsal, are of
vital Importance to Imperial Valley
since the amount of salt brought in
by the Colorado river irrigation
water presents an important prob
lem to all agriculture, according to
Frank Beyschlag, farm advisor.
Beyschlag opened the meeting,
discussing the experiments con-
Quoted over three year period by
G. S. Schofield, in charge of the
office of western irrigation agricul-
ture, U. S. department of agricul-
ture.
For three years ending February
%. 1888, Schofield each week an
alysed sample of the Colorado
river water at Yuma, examing it
for salt content. M. j. Dowd, chief
engineer for the Imperial Irrigation
district, sent each week a sample
of water coming into the system and
of water draining out from Alamo
and New River. These specimens
were also examined for salt con-
tent and from them Schofield COM
puted the amount of salt coming in
to the valley and leaving it.
In the total 2,356,103, acre feet
coming into the valley each year,
908,216 are drained out, leaving a
residue used of LAT, 1897 acre feet
used each year or GIG per cent.
This water has a total content
of 2,963690 tons of salt, 1879, 842
of which is draining, leaving 1,083,-
$40 tons, or 365 per cent.
In other words 1.25 tons of salt
are brought into the valley for ev-

vainly to make contact by plane
with the kidnapers of his son.
The family is democratic, and
Peggy and her brother, Francis, 7,
preferred to go to school by the
regular school bus instead of being
driven by the McMath chauffeur.
T he kidnapers, apparently &C
quainted with the child's sched-
ule, took advantage of this fact
Shortly after noon yesterday a man
telephoned the McMath home, and
told a maid to leave the receiver
off the hook for 10 minutes to per-
init telephone tests. Then Miss
Ruth Holmes, secretary of the Har-
wich Center grammar school, which
Peggy attended, received a call pur-
porting to come from McMath, ask
ing that the girl be released from
school at 2:30. The message said a
car would be awaiting her.
At 2:30 Peggy emerged from the
school and a Negro in livery, sit
ting at the wheel of a blue auto
mobile, beckoned to her.
"She didn It want to get into
the car" Jack Shaughnessy, 10,
who was playing in the school yard,
said later. "The man pulled her
in and she started to cry. He told
her to shut up and drove away
toward North Harwich.o
Negro Makes Calls
Police thought, in view of the at
tempt to prevent communication
with the McMath household for 10
minutes only, that the objective of
the kidnapping car probably. was the
nearby shore rather than the main
land an hour s drive away, which
can be reached only by bridge ov-
er the Cape Cod canal. But the
maneuver was wasted for no mint

Police learned that three men,
one a Negro were seen in Harwich,
near Harwichport, just before the
kidnapping. They had a blue car.
The calls to home and school were
made by a Negro from a store at
Harwich Center. Beyond that, they
learned little.
The McMaths said they had re-
ceived no threats, and expressed
certainty that ransom could be the
only object Of the abduction.
McMath denied reports that in
1881 he received extortion letters,
threatening that one of his children
would be kidnapped.
"Those reports are entirely
groundless, he said. 81 never re-

PLAN VALLEY
LEGION CORPS

With the idea of obtaining a
drum and bugle corps representing
the entire county to be present at
the state convention of the Amer
lean Legion at Pasadena in August,
d. V. Stewart of Imperial was CIV
en- authority to call a meeting of
all drum corps managers of the diff
ferent county posts, according to
action taken last night at the reg

ayers as we'll as individuals now
constituting the various post corps
will cooperate with Stewart to make
the proposed unit the best possible.
with a personnel of 40 members, he
said.
1t was decided that the posts
should organize a picnic, county,
wide in scope, to be held on Sun
day, May 81, at Banner. This is
located on the Julian Kane Springs
road in the mountains and is an
ideal place for such a gathering.
The Brawley post issued a challenge
to the Ell Centre post for a game
of indoor baseball at this picnic.
This challenge was Immediately
accepted and all local post ball
players are requested to report to
Commander Harry Woodbury. as
soon as possible so that the local
team can be organized for this
game.
Phil Hoffman, Imperial, was
named chairman of a committee
charged with the task of organic
ing a junior baseball league among
the different posts and it is the in
tention of the committee to start
this right away.
Dinner was enjoyed with the
ladies of the auxiliary of the coun-
ty council.
The next meeting of the inter-
post council will be held in Ell Gen.
tro on June 5.
