Interesting facts and figures
were presented by jerome H. Fer
tig, division engineer OF the recla-

Wcrk was started on the canal with
70 four horse teams, and the Sec
ond week this number was increas-
ed to $50 team outfits, with 225
team outfits being required in the
third week of construction. He
said, 1--WE are now employing in
The neighbonhoOd of 300 men, about
200 head Of stock, and 20 tractors.
We began this work two or three
miles west OF Calexico and are 60
ing westward and have already
worked on this stretch Of canal for
four miles He reported very
fine progress being made, with an
average weekly payroll of $4,000,
and the force account work going
ahead at the rate of 1000 feet Il
completed canal per week
Dowd Gives Tall;
Dowd spoke of the refinancing
plan Of the district which has been
worked cut in the past year. "There
are around 80 per cent Of the dis
| trict s bonds that are now ready
for exchange for the new bends, -
he stated. "and over tWo-thirds Of
the holdings have been registered
with the banks under the refinanc-

procedure and stated that a hear

Discussing the Boulder dam pro-

that the drought experienced this
summer would be the last known

as to whether money had been ap'
propriated for the construction d

Mr.. S. c. Scarborough,
Pin Money Brands, Inc,
Richmond, Virginia.
Dear Mr.. Scarborough:
We were much interested in your
Letter OF October 30. 1 have consult
ed the horticultural commissioner
here, and his staff, and We are GER
tain that the melon mangoe seed
can be grown here dur.lg the win
ter, and be ready for delivery on
May Is.
We are accustomed TO grow an
carly cantaloupe crop, planted under
cover in December. and with ripe
cantaloupes available from about
April Is OF May l on. We don't know
just how prolific the crop is nor its
yield of seed. 1t has been suggested
that I write to you to ascertain
what your company would be will
ing to pay for a hundred pounds OF
/ seed so grown.
In order to assure absolute sue
cess, it would be necessary to grow
this crop under paper or brush CO.
! vcrs until danger of frcst is past,
which Of course adds somewhat tC
the cost.
Please let me have an idea of
what you think the seed is worth.
We are of course very glad and
very anxious to help you in any way
possible.
Yours very truly,
ROBERT HAYS,
Secretary Manager.
