district headquarters this morning
in telegram from the Yuma office
of the weather bureau.
According to further reports on
the river readings, filed at the dis
trict offices here. the Colorado river
flow shows another drop. The Grand
Canyon reading stands at 1910 Sec

tered but Is second feet of water in
the flow of the river.
Residents of this city are again
asked by Phil knights, city engin-
eer, to confine their irrigation to-
morrow evening to the shrubs and
trees on their own lots and not to
trouble themselves with the trees in
the city parking. These will be cared
for by city employees who will dis
tribute water to these trees from
tank trucks.
knights issued a warning against
using soapy water to irrigate trees
| or shrubs as the soil will be Ster-
ilized by water which has too great
soap content. Rinse water, or wa
ter which has but small soap con-
tent. will not harm the plants,
knights said.
Tomorrow afternoon from 5 o.
clock on, residents will be allowed to
irrigate the shrubs and trees on
their property with city water, ac-
cording to orders issued by city Of
ficials last week. This does not mean
that lawns may be irrigated, only
the shrubs and trees and in doing
this residents are urged to use the
utmost caution SO as not to waste
water from the limited city supply.
Three tank cars of water for
drinking purposes have been Or
dered to be delivered tomorrow at
Ell Centre, Imperial and Calexico,
according to DR.. N. E. Dupont, di-
rector of water distribution. This
water is furnished by the South
ern Pacific company and brought
to the valley at reduced freight
charges
Other valley cities and rural
areas have supplies of this water
on hand at present which will be
replenished when needed.

VIENNA, July 25.-Austrian Ma
zis struck swiftly at the Dollfuss
dictatorship in dramatic putsch
today in which they seized the
chancellory and made prisoners of
Chancellor Englebert DollfuSs and
members of his cabinet.
Martial law was declared and the
streets were filled with troops, po-
lice and heimwenr guards with bay
onets and machine guns.
The Nazis barTicaded in the chan
cellory threatened violence to the
prisoners if they were attacked. It
was reported without confirmation
that Dollfuss and Major Emil Fey,
director of public order, had been
wounded.
About noon. 300 disguised Nazis
seized the heimwehr barracks in the
seventh districts and equipped them
selves with machine guns, rifles and
ammunition.
Police rushed the barracks but
were too late to arrest all the raid
erS.
The extent of casualties was not
known, but it was estimated at least
10 were killed in street fighting, and
the seizure of the government radio
station by Nazis, who later were dri-
ven out.
After capturing the seventh dis
trict barracks, the Nazis comman-
deered motor trucks and went TO the
government offices in the BallhauS-
platz.
They seized two guards, barricad-
ed the steel doors of the building
and arrested DollfusS, Fey and other
ministers. An official police an
nouncement said the entire cabin
ct was seized except thre members
who were absent, including Prince
Ernst Won Starhemberg. The latter
is in Italy.
Chancellor Wounded
1t was said Dollfuss and Fey were
wounded when they did not sur
render quickly enough after the Ma
zis entered the cabinet room.
An unofficial dispatch from Inns
bruck said state of emergency had
been declared there and police and
troops occupied public buildings.
During the coup, Nazis seized the
wireless station outside Vienna. The
listening populace heard the an
nouncer say.
"One o'clock and one minute, thir-
ty seconds"
I'VE have to inform you that the
DollfuSs cabinet has resigned and
Rintelen Ambassador to italy, has
taken over the government"
Troops arrived at the chancellory
shortly before 4 D. m.
1t was believed they might UNDER
take to storm the building.
Soldiers began joining the police
end heimwehr foyces, apparently
planning to attack If and when the
imprisoned cabinet members indi-
Gated they prefer storming to sur
render

KANSAS CITY, Mo. July 25. iU.P)
Relief from the blazing heat that
has scared two-thirds of the coun-

imminent today.
Government forecasters said there
probably would be thundershowers

held the country in a burning,
death dealing grip, was being
pushed out by the north winds. A
disturbance off the coast of Texas,
nearing hurricane proportions, also

SHORT TIME LEFT
TO FIGHT HOPPERS
FLOWING IS MOST EFFECTIVE
WAY TO COMBAT GRASSHOP-
PERS, COLLEGE SAYS

MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
Not more than six weeks and prob
ably as little as four in some areas,
is all the time that remains in which
to fight grasshoppers by cultivation,
the cheapest way, warns Sam Sloan,
extension agronomist at Montana
State college.
Flowing is the most effective tillage
method when it zones to control OF
grasshoppers, Sloan says. Unless all
stubble land possible in areas where
infestation is expected, is plowed be-
fore May Is, grasshopper poisoning
campaigns are doomed to failure. PloW-
ing and poisoning are OF about equal
Importance in controlling grasshoppers
and both should be used to the limit.
Flowing is important because it cover
the graSshopper eggs deeply enough SO
that they can cause no worry. Eggs
covered three or four inches deep, will
, never mean young hoppers on the sur
face.
Burning the stubble will not kill any
eggs. The only time burning is of any
use is when the hoppers are first hatch
ed, or in late May when it is particul-
arly difficult to get a clean burn.
One more caution which Sloan ex-
tends is DO not plant any kind of crop
on disced stubble or directly in stub
BILE.
It is generally known now where
| grasshoppers may be expected because
of the forecast made last fall, Sloan
points out. In the areas where in
festation is expected to be severe Sloan
offers six suggestions. These are:
l. Plow all the stubble possible early
in the spring for feed crops; seed earl
Ter than usual; part of acreage before
wheat if possible.
2. Prepare summer fallow land and
seed wheat at proper period.
3. Finish seeding other crops on
spring or fall ploWed land.
4. Do not stubble in any crop or
plant on diSced Stubble land.
5. Plow all other crop land as far
as possible.
6. Before May Is, pillow a strip
around all unplowed fields and prepare
to poison.

DAIRY HERD TESTS
MADE: FEBRUARY
LEADING HERD IN YELLOWSTONE
ASSOCIATION AVERAGED ALI
POUNDS OF BUTTERFAT

MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
Cows under test in Montana dairy
herd improvement associations re-
sponded to the touch of winter during
the month of February by slightly
lower production. with only GA of the
900 cows reported producing 40 or
more pounds of butterfat for the
month, according to J. o. Tretsven,
extension dairy specialist at Montana
State college.
In spite of February being a poor
month. the leading herd in the Yellow
stone County association averaged All
pounds of butterfat and 1,277 pounds OF
milk. All the leading herds in the three
classifications recognized by the as
ISOLATION averaged more than 81 pounds
of butterfat. with n eXception,-one
of the largest herds under test.
Ranked in order of production OF
butterfat the four reporting associations
were as follows: Yellowstone, Missoula
Cascade and Bitter Root. Only one OF
the separators tested during the month
was wasteful. Eighteen COWS were GULL
ed and one purebred bull purchased
the report shows.

DEPRECIATION OF
FARM MACHINERY
FIGURING DEPRECIATION MAKES
1T POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE
PROFITS AND LOSSES
(MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)

MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
Depreciation must be taken into
consideration on the farm as well as
in industrial plants as it causes a
decrease in value of property and
present value cannot be determined
as long as this factor is not included,
according to Merrill r. Good of the
State college general engineering de-
partment.
There are several factors which
cause any asset, for instance a tractor,
to depreciate or lose value. The first
is natural depreciation. Whether the
tractor is used or not, a certain amount
of natural decay occurs continuously
which lowers its value and operating
efficiency. Another factor is the we'll
known wear and tear.
A less considered factor is obsolensc-
ence, Good explains. Inventions or
improvement may place a new tractor
on the market which will do the same
work as the present tractor but do it
more quickly and cheaply. A fourth
factor is i~nadequacy. Increases in pro-
duction or shifts in production may
make the present tractor inadequate
for the new demands.
Buildings, machinery, livestock and
other assets all suffer depreciation. In
dustry recognizes this factor generally
as do the federal and state courts. Diff
ferences of opinions lie not in whether
or not there is depreciation but in the
manner of estimating the amount, Good
says. There are two general methods,
the theoretical" and the actual"
The chief difference in the two is in
the method of arriving at the estimat-
ed life of the asset. Under the theor-
etical method it is not necessary to ex-
anime the asset, merely make an es-
innate based on the service life of SIM
liar assets. Under the actual method,
it is necessary to closely examine the
asset.
Depreciation estimates are important
in that all assets must be figured in
terms of present worth in order to get
a true picture of the farm or plants
value at the present time. 1t also is
necessary for the purpose of knowing
how much to set aside to replace the
particular asset when it has outlived
its period of usefulness. For that reason
it is necessary to arrive at some method
of figuring depreciation.
IA mp 3A1SC41oo 10 "44S4S O1IS
cost of an asset, minus its scrap value
if any, is divided by the number of
years of its estimated life. This gives
an approximate figure from which to
arrive at the present value or the
amount which ought to be set aside an
nually to replace the asset.
Another method is to go over the as
set carefully every year, making an
estimate of its present value, its pro-
bable length of service, considering
such factors as present physical con
dition, future repair policies, future
production demands and future main
tenance and operation expenses. This
examination cannot be made too care
fully, Good cautions, nor a too much
attention be paid to the various factors
which cause depreciation. In auto
mobiles, new models appear so rapidly
that depreciation is very rapid the first
few years and then becomes less.
Figuring depreciation every year
makes it possible to determine just
