PROTEST ON
STORY MADE
BY CHAMBER

In a telegram sent today by Rob-
ert Hays, of the Ell Centro Cham
ber of Commerce, to the Los An
Geles Herald Express, that publica-
ton is urged by the chamber IS
manager to correct the impression
given by an article in that news
paper which stated that 5000 men
would be required for work in July
ON the All-American canal. The
paper failed to state that there were
more than enough unemployed
men already in Imperial Valley
waiting for the work to commence
The chamber of commerce in past
years has often had to issue warn
ings to unemployed outside men
that there is no work available on
such jobs and that there are al
ready enough men waiting here for
any work which may come up.
The chamber of commerce tele-
gram to the editor of the Herald
Express was as follows:
"Please correct as forcibly as
possible the impression produced by
yesterdays editorial to effect that
men will be needed for construc-
Gion of All-American canal. Only
400 men will be needed for at least
first year. We already have wait
ang here nearly 5000 applicants on
federal employment registration
rolls, which is four or five times
number of workers required at very
peak of work. In fairness to this
community and to workers seeking
employment we beg you publish
statements that no additional labor
will be required for canal construc-

De: RE0PENED

Wheat adjustment contracts will
be reopened in this county from
April %, Frank Beyschlag, farm
advisor, announced today.
No campaign will be put on to
get new signers. Wheat growers
interested in the contract can get
more detailed information at the
county farm advisors office in the
court house at Ell Centro between
the dates set for signing.
The farm advisor states that
his office will have the aid of Ira
Whitney, emergency agricultural
assistant, on Tuesday and We'd
nesday, April "a and 25. Whitney
is thoroughly familiar with the
wheat reduction plan since he has
worked with it under the direction
of the Los Angeles county farm
advisor since last summer The
farm advisors office has set aside
Tuesday and Wednesday to give
individual assistance to wheat
growers calling at the office for
information and to assist those
who desire filling out the govern
ment contracts.
The contract is reopened to three
groups of wheat producers as fol-
lows:
|. Those who filled out an ap-
rlication blank last fall but did
not complete contract. BY sign
ing the contract now, they can
get full benefit payments for 1898,
1884, and 1885.
2. Those who want to fill out
their application blanks and con-
tracts now. They will get the last
installment of the 1888 benefit
payment and then all of the 1884
and 1885 payments.
g. Those who had wheat in only
1882 and 1888. They are entitled
to grow IS per cent of their 1888
acreage for harvest in 1894, but

for harvest for 1884 by Is per
cent compared with the base acre
age of wheat grown on the ranch.
Figures on acreages and yields
turned in by the new signers will
be made public by publication or
by posting, and will then be adj
justed to correspond with the sum-
mary of the contracts signed last
fall. New signers will become mem
bers of the existing District con-
troll association. The budget Of the
association may be revised to take
care of the expense of signing up
