Past e Days.
LOW READING AT YUMA
Relief Committee Completes
Arrangements To Ship Water
In For Rural Areas.

According to statement
given today to the United Press
by the United States weather
bureau at Denver, Colorado,
there have been only sporadic
showers in the upper Colorado
river basin in the past two or
three days and there has been
very little precipitation in that
area for the past % days.
"The outlook for the upper
basin is unchanged" a United
Press dispatch to The Press
stated this afternoon. "The
showers were local, brief and ap-
parently have been of little
practical benefit to the areas
depending upon the Colorado
for their water supplies"
An encouraging scattering Of
thunder showers were reported over
western Colorado during the last
48 hours. according to a telegram
sent to irrigation district head
quarters today by j. H. Gordon of
the Yuma office of the government
weather bureau. This wire states
that the showers were light at the
reporting station but probably. were
heavier in the mountain sections of
the state. Continuation of storms
for today was further indicated in
the wire.
Reports on the river flow today
were not so encouraging. The
Grand Canyon reading showed but
267C second feet at that point while
the Yuma reading was 272 feet with
HOO for the diversion. This latter
reading is 600 feet under that OF

At a meeting held here Saturday
afternoon attended by the board
OF supervisors, SERA officials, rep
resentatives from the irrigation dis
trict and other county officials.
plans were discussed whereby water
for drinking purposes is to be
brought into the valley from out
side points during the continuance
of the drought.
The first shipment of this water
consisting of $4,000 gallons is ex-
pected within the next few days.
This 1lota is to be increased until
100000 or more gallons. daily, are
brought into the county. Costs of
this water and its delivery to desig-
mated distribution points outside the
incorporated areas will be borne by
the SERA. The water is to be
brought by tank cars over the
Southern Pacific system.
Directors of the Imperial Irriga-
tion District planned to go to Yuma
tonight to confer with members of
the Yuma city council and repre-
sentatives of the Yuma Water Users
association on pro-ration of water
between Yuma and Imperial VAL

sion of water at this time.

"
OminouS threats of a crippling
general strike loomed in San Fran
cisco today as President Roosevelt IS
mediation board opened public
hearings to determine true griev-
ances of maritime workers strike.
The boards hearing marked first
invocation of new labor disputes
act on the Pacific Coast. It's ac-
tivities toward settling the maritime
:, workers strike involved invoking
y!tastic' powers of the labor dis
putcs act and may serve as test
OF the acts efficiency and prob
ably have a strong bearing on
labor troubles elsewhere.
RiOt-ridden Pacific Coast ports
counted their dead at seven and
injured upward to 300 while the
million -dollar-a-day strike entered
its third month today
Martial law prevailed along San
Francisco's waterfront, storm cent
er of the coastwide maritime work.
ers' strike National guardsmen
maintained order after last weeks
bloody rioting.
San Francisco and Oakland'S
strongly organized Transfers un-
ion opened the wedge of a general
strike in this region.
The teamsters threatened an en-
barge on delivery of supplies to and
from the two cities heavy in
dustries unless the maritime un-
ions strike is settled by Wednes-
day night.
The overwhelming vote for a
sympathy strike was taken despite
warning from Michael j, Casey,
district president, that the walkout
would be All outlaw" strike to the
extent that laws of the interna-
tional union forbid such strikes
and that financial support which
would total $4,000 weekly in an
authorized strike probably would
be withheld by the international.
His warning had no effect.
"In 80 years." Casey commented,
"I have never seen the men so
wrought up as they are over this
thing"
He referred to imposition of
martial law along the San Fran
cisco Embarcadero and the en-
ployment Of non-union truck driv-
ers to take cargo from steamer
docks to warehouses maintained by
the Industrial association.
Meantime, at least 18 of the city's
229 unions repeatedly were ready to
join a general strike If sufficient
support Is obtained.
Hopes of settlement of the strike
of $4,000 coast longshoremen, sea-
men and allied crafts rested with
President Roosevelt's board which
opened public hearings in federal
court today.
BY liberal use of subpoena, the
board hoped to bring into the open
real issues of the strike and to throw
the powerful weight of public opin-
ion behind the aggrieved parties,
whether employers or workers.
The committee conferred 6atur-
day with the joint marine strike
committee of so.

FARM QUESTIONS

What time of the year is proper to
plant trees?
The following trees may be planted
either in the spring, when the ground
has thawed out fully, or in the fall
before the ground freezes: Butternut,
walnut, hard maple, buckthorn, oak,
ash, woodbine, blackberry, cherry,
Eastwood and boxelder. If held over
for spring planting, the seeds should
be mixed with sand in a box and bur-
led in some we'll drained place for the
winter. Soft maple and elm seeds and
cottonwood cuttings should be plant
ed in the SPRING.. G. Cheyney,
Division of Forestry.
Can you suggest an inexpensive
way to treat hogs for mango?
The following method usually
gives very satisfactory results.sSet a
post and wrap some rags around it.,
soaking them with crank case oil so
that the pigs can rub themselves ag-
ainst it and get the oil over their
bodies. The sleeping quarters and OF
her places where the hogs nest and
lie around should be cleaned. If pre-
ferred, the oil can be applied direct
to the pigs with brush or by other
means.-H. C. H. Kernkamp, Divis-
ion of Veterinary Medicine.
What is the best use for second
growth sorghum and Sudan grass
that comes on during September and
October?
If the growth can be cut and hand
led, it makes excellent silage which
is entirely safe to feed. If it is pas
tured, care is necessary to avoid
trouble as short second growths of
sorghum and Sudan grass that are
still growing are likely to have pois-
onous properties in September and
October. See that every animal has
had considerable feed each time be-
fore being turned in on the sorghum
or Sudan.-A. C. Army, Division of
Agronomy.

to ascertain whether or not they are
safe to eat?
There are no tests which you can
make at home to determine whether
or not mushroom is edible. The
poisons are very complicated, un-
stable compounds which are not very
well known, SO chemist analysis is
useless. The only way to tell whether
mushroom is edible is to be able to
recognize the species and look up the
records as to whether or not it has
ever caused poisoning.-Louis Dos

Oscar Hillger Kills
Jackrabbit With Leg

A new method of jackrabbit hunt
ing was evolved Sunday by Oscar
Hillger while shooting pheasants
with his father, William Hillger and
two brothers, Herbert and Clarence
on the Hillger and H P. Mortenson
farms south of Morgan.
While the four were stalking
pheasants in a corn field their dog
spied a jackrabbit and started in
chase. The two animals raced to one
end of the field and then the rabbit
doubled back running straight to-
ward Oscar Hillger who was stand
ing behind corn shock.
Hillger waited until the rabbit had
nearly reached him when he put out
his leg, the animal striking it and
falling dead at his feet.

Fairmont Expects
$4,000 Crowd At
u. S. Husking Bee

"The Battle of the Bangboards"
they call it, but to a lot of husky
young men of the middle west it will
be the eleventh national corn husk-
ing contest, to be staged at Fair
mont, Minnesota, November 8. Eigh-
teen huskers, the champion and the
runner up from each of the nine corn
belt states, will take part, and the ev-
ent will attract people from the en-
tire midwest. Crowds estimated at
10000 saw the 1882 contest at Galva,
Illinois, and the 1885 contest at West
Point, Nebraska.
The field where the contest will be
held is mile and half east of Fair
mont, county seat of Martin county.
1t was planted especially for the ev-
ent and is located on one of the farms
operated by the local canning COM
pany. 1t comprises fifty acres Of new
hybrid variety of yellow corn known
as E Baker. The yield is around 60
bushels per acre.
1t is expected that Carl Sellers
world record of 36.9 bushels made at
Galva, Illinois in 1882 will stand.
Challengers who attempt to over
throw that record will have to pick a
lot of corn in 80 minutes, and the
ears will have to hit the bangboard
at the rate of one every second to
come even close to that marvellous
feat. 1t is expected that Sherman
Henriksen, last years champion from
West Point, Nebraska will defend his
title.
The classic Of the cornields starts
ct noon. following a parade at 1880
in which all of the huskers partici-
pate as we'll as several bands, drum
corps and machinery exhibits. The
contest is broadcast over a national
hook-up. Fairmont is preparing to
take care of one of the biggest
crowds in the history of southern

Akron Shows Low
RatefOr Vacancies
InHousing Survey

A housing survey for Akron, Ohio, has
Just been completed by the Akron Real
Estate Board through the aid of the
United States Post Once carriers. The
survey shows Akron's vacancy in single
family houses to be SO per cent with
q total vacancy in all types Of housing
units OF only 6.6 per cent.
TWO Akron newspapers aided In the
survey. 1t showed 1,109 instances
where two families are occupying units
intended for a single family. Making
allowances for these existing families
the single house vacancy would be ap-
proximately absorbed. A considerable
number OF the vacancies were found to
be among old houses in such q condi-
ton that they should be razed.
Special assessment data for the en-
tire city has been. compiled by the Ak
ron board and is published with other
statistical data Of the city with its
housing survey. The special assess
ment compilation Is the first attempt
to present this data for the city in
tabular form. It lists paving assess
ments, widening resurfacing and other
special levies, giving in each case the
tax years IN which the assessment runs,
the average total cost per foot for the
life OF the assessment and the average
cost per foot for each semi-annual tax
paying period. There are AZ typewrit-
ten pages Of special assessment rates
and each individual improvement areas.
The whole is expected to save the
members OF the board many steps daily
