EXPERIMENTAL
STATION GETS
NEW SUPER

Developments in flax production
were highly important at the Melo-
land experimental station of the
university as late as yesterday To-
day they are more insignificant
than the accomplishments of the
London economic parley.
The same goes for experiments on
oats, wheat, rye, barley, rice, corn,
alfalfa, potatoes tomatoes onions,
cabbage, calico, cotton, silk, pea
nWh popcorn, Ted lemonade, or
what have you.
Waldo w. WAeth, superintendent
of the station, has something more
important on his mind today than
bothering with such trivialities. For
instance, he might be figuring
whether Wallace Edward Weeth is
going to be right-handed or left
handed; for the MIRA or "agin" it.
Wallace Edward arrived this
morning at La Solana hospital, and
is sporting tag marked six
pounds, two ounces, handle with
care
AS soon as the weather moder-
ates bit he plans on going out to
the station and getting the super
intendent back on the job Of show
ing Imperial Valley ranchers how
to raise bigger and better crops.

FORD V-8 MAKES FINE RECORD
DURING 10 DAYS TEST HERE

Finishing its record run of 10000
miles in 10 days, the Ford Va
which has been a familiar figure
on Imperial Valley roads recently,
checked in on its final stop this
morning at 8 o o'clock according to
Western Union figures, against
which it was checked out on July
18 at 800 a. m.
During the 10 day period the car
ran up a total of l0,277 miles, ex-
ceeding the mark originally set by
277 miles, and set a splendid rec
ord for economy in operation.
A check up of the various data
kept during the run shows that
the average speed was 1897 miles
per hour; and the gasoline con-
sumption was 1889 miles per gal
Ion. Water consumption was 51a
quarts, the car having gone 812
days before any additional water
was placed in the radiator. Con-
sumption OF oil was II quarts per
900 miles.
The average cost of operation
including cost of gasoline and oil
and repairs was 0127 cents per
mile.

ors for the Ford car, conducted

DEFICIT
NOT DEFINITE
Estimates Range From Ten To
81 Millions After Computing
New Tax Revenues.
BY THOMAS b. MALARKEY


SACRAMENTO, July %. - The
states "redp balance today was
reduced to somewhere between
S10,000,000 and $4,000, ,0O0-depend-
ing on how you compute tax yields
after legislators met the Stagger-
ing unbalanced budget problem by
passing two notoriously unpopular
tax measures.
When the lawmakers convened
July II, they were faced with a
staggering deficit agggregating
around $125,OOO,0OO.
Ten days later, they emerged
from inter-house deadlockS with a
2l2 per cent sales tax and a "high
Bracket income tax. The former
will probably raise around $780,
100000; the latter $11 100000.
The legislature deliberately fell
short of balancing the budget
First hand observation of how cas-
lily state departments can absorb
money and spend surpluseS led to
the conviction an ECONOMY in
CentiVe' was required.
On the other hand, this failure
to balance the budget may impel
Governor Rolph to call a special
session. Such is the opinion of
ROLAND Vandegrift, director of fin
ance.
State officials-many legislative
leaders, too-regretted the unex-
pected death of a bill providing ur-
gently needed appropriations for
four departmentS-social welfare
department, $l34,0O0; judicial coun-
Gil $4,000; narcotics division $7O,-
900, and bureau of criminal identi-
fication, $4,000.
These appropriations were bun
dled into one bill and passed by
the assembly. In the senate a flood
of "pork barrel" rider appropria-
tions loaded down the measure so
much it was finally killed.

ly praised by Pullen for their

Ion at least two days the car

''Our course ranged from so feet

made five times daily. Not once
did the car give any trouble of any
kind. 1t was performance OF

MIRA GIVEN
SPOTLIGHT AT
ROTARY CLUB

Fellowship was the subject
of an interesting and at times
amusing talk given yesterday at the
Rotary club meeting by Frank
Bowles of KXO radio station.
In the course of his remarks the
speaker pointed out that fellowship
can be peculiarly shown at this
time by conforming with the Pres
ident's request for cooperation in
carrying out the purposes of the
national industrial recovery act,
which express the highest type of
fellowship in giving men a chance
to work out their own destiny.
The alternative to such coopera-
ton and the support of the state,
he asserted, is Communism, which
no American wants to see take
root in this country.
He made a plea for better CO.
operation with younger people, par
ticularly in giving encouragement
to those who have graduated from
schools in the past few years and,
because of economic conditions,
have been unable to obtain employ
ment.
w. w. McEuen, who acted as
chairman of the day, gave a short
synopsis of the purposes of the
MIRA and of Rotary's recognition
Of the need for supporting it,
DR.. Walter Clark, president of
the University of Nevada, a Rotar-
ian guest, declared the people of
his state, despite closed banks and
practical collapse of Nevada S in
dustries, are carrying on" cour-
ageously and hoping for ultimate
recovery.
He expressed his pleasure at the
progress being made on Boulder
dam, and declared completion OF
this project will be of immense
benefit to the entire southwest.

OUTFIELDER FOR

 YEARNS TO PITCH

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May At the age of 33, when most ball play CTS who have been up in the big show and down again are looking for a cigar-stand to buy, George "ShOwboat" Fisher of the Brewers still visions another trip to the majors.
 Fisher, who won his unusual nickname through his penchant for sartorial and tonsorial Splendor, has been up there" before, with the St. Louis Cardinals and with the Browns of the same city.
 And when I'm through as an .outfielder I'll take up pitching again. he says.
 Tn 1921 I was with the Millers after doing combination pitcher soutfielder duty in a South Dakota sfeasue, I won my one big, start gagainst Kansas City, but Cantll- lon decided I was better outfield- CT. and sent me to St. Joseph, Mo. When I came back from there was a full-fleelged outfielder."
 In IA years in professional base ball the Showboat has never hit less than 300 as a regular, and in the season of 193O, when he was with the pennan t-winning Cards, he cracked 10 home runs.

 A shift in the French lineup is likely this year. Jean Borotra, the hero of last years encounter, in- sists he will not play singles and Henri Cochet insists he will play singles only.
 Cochet and Christian Boussus are possible singles choices, with Boro- 1ra and Jacques Bru2ron in dou- bles. Pierre Gillou, president ci the Lawn Tennis Federation, said recently this would be his selection unless Borotras determination net to play singles could be broken down.
