FARM BUREAU SETS FINE RECORD
OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 1894

Imperial County Farm Bureau j.
al organization OF farmers fol
farmers and during the past veal
Il has accomplished much to ben
eft agriculture in the valley a
pointed cut II the annual report
for 1884 submitted at the last meet
ing of that year. by c. .. Hoober
president.
The dairy problem was one with
which the farm bureau worked last
year, having an active dairy de-
partment which was heartily sup
ported by the entire membership.
In regional and state meetings the
Imperial Valley producer s view
point has been effectively support
ed and Imperial Valley, through its
Representatives. has served notice
ON the rest Of the state that it viii
support a state program only il il
provides equality OF opportunity
for valley dairymen and outlets for
Imperial Valley dairy products.
1t Is the farm bureau which Sc
cured the proposal Tor 1000 gallons
OF milk to be delivered daily TO Los
Angeles when proper health and
inspection regulations have been ef-
fected.
Another big problem which the
farm bureau has met is that OF aid
ing farmers in their financing
problems, pressing for liberaliza-
ton of rules, regulations ana ap-
praisement of the Farm Credit
Administration with the result that
commissioner loans by December l.
1884 in Imperial Valley reached
total OF 100000 and production
credit loans, S3o0,o00. The farm
bureau is still actively engaged il
making this service more responsive
TO the farmers needs, endorsing.
for one instance. the proposal be-
fore congress TO lower interest rates
on farm mortgages to 3la per cent.
The farm bureaus debt commit
tee. aided by Scott B. Foulds, eoun-
ty conciliator, has worked TO aid
financially distressed farmers in
readjusting their obligations.
Another accomplishment is that
of the tax committee which has CO.
operated with the supervisors in
holding taxes to the lowest possi-
BILE figures.
Also in the interest Of economy
the board supported the proposal
to consolidate the offices of county
assessor and collector and these of
sheriff and coroner.
Money Saved for Farmers
At least $4,000 was saved the
farmers of the county by obtaining
a revocation of the processing tax on
jute bags, a state project to which
the local group lent its support.
The farm bureau opposed the low
erina of agricultural tariffs and par
ticularly opposed lowering of the
tariff ON flax, the flax duty being
retained.
Through the drought relief pro-
grams. farmers OF the county have
received s226, 900, the farm bureau
working with the extension staff in
achieving this end.
The farm bureau is active in Sc
curing a farm -to-market road pro-
gram and joint farm bureau
chamber of commerce committee has
been working out program which
will mean much to the welfare OF
the valley.

and progresi that lie in the near

largest exhibits, in the form OF a
Mexican village, displaying the in
dustries, arts, and communal life
of the southern republic, whose
border is only Is miles south OF
San Diego.

nent part. as 1895 marks the .25th

tage of the southwest, extensive
participation by Spain and South
American countries is also expect
ed. France, Italy, and Japan are
among the major nations also TAX
ing part.
i The exposition will be set up in
Balboa Park, a tract OF 1400 acres
in the heart of the city. Spanish
and Indian pueblo architecture will
predominant in the buildings, many
of which will be permanent and
set to harmoni2e with the natural
surroundings and terrain.
Indian 10 Be Present
The ancient Mayan architecture
of the Central American races will
also be well represented. The SIM
plicity of design and massive
formation of these Mayan and
Indian buildings are expected to
give strength and power TO the ap-
pearance of the structures that are
beginning to rise.
Indians from every tribe now
represented in the west will be
present, and a replica of the Taos
Pueblo settlement of New Mexico
will be built.
The Geological Gardens. already

be the Golden Gulch, an exact re-
production Of a California mining
town of the days of '49. 1t will be
hidden away in one Of the can
yons that thread the park, and Vi
sitors will reach it by stage coach
or on muleback.
Most spectacular, perhaps, of all
exhibits, will be a review of the
U. S. navy in San Diego harbor.

expected to put in .durigg the ex-
position, which Is expected to con-
tinue until mid-November.

DAMAGE IS
CAUSED BY BLAST
OF DUST AND SAND
Estimates Put Crop Loss il
Southwestern District at
Over $30,0 ,000,0 900

Crop damage estimates exceeding
$50, 900 900. 4 seriously affected area
Of more than 100000 acres and re-
lief rolls carrying we'll above 10000
families were figures which swirled
with the dust out Of the west and
southwest Thursday. For the first
time In week the air was clear Fri
day and residents began digging
themselves out Of the silt.
Each figure represented only q seq
ment Cf the picture. The other parts
could be supplied either vaguely or
not at all. Drouth and cold as well
las dust were involved.
The figures pertained to the zone
|of the recll ring dust storms: West

eastern Colorado, all O. the Oklahoma
Panhandle, the southeastern corner of
Wyoming, the northeastern corner Of
New Mexico and the northern two
thirds Of the Texas Panhandle. A
small part of southwestern Nebraska
also is In the territory. but the figures
do not apply to It.
Wheat Crop Ruined
The crop damages largely concern
ed wheat. In the Texas Panhandle,
Walter Barlow. Amarillo grain ele-
vator operator. said q conservative es-
innate Of losses ranged between $l6,-
600 O00 and 400 ono ono
In Kansas the difference In the
value Of last years crop in the dust
ridden parts and the estimated value
for this year exceeds $5,000,0 900. Fig
ures released by r. K. Reed, federal
agricultural statistician. placed the
value on winter wheat last year In
western and central Kansas at more
than $ll ,000, 900. The estimated value
In that area this year Is roughly IS
o00. 900.
Complete Loss Feared
Losses OF uncounted millions are
involved in official government crop
estimates on April l for Wyoming.
On 2,50O,OO0 eastern Colorado acres,
one Of the sectors hardest hit by the
dust, farmers have reported that their
crop losses will be complete unless
rain comes quickly.

REPUBLICANS open
BITTER ATTACK ON
SECURITY PROGRAM
Higher Tax levies to Finance
Measure Seen % Burden
on Improvement

Warrington. April l1-(ReA num-
ber Of house Republicans prepared
Friday for Q concerted attack against
tho administration's social security
bin on the ground that It would dc
no good and that its tax burdens
would increase unemployment.
Upon Rep. Treadway Rep.- .-Mass.)
fell the duty Of expressing the atti-
tude Of Republicans on the ways and
means committee, which brought the
bill before the house after II weeks
Of study. AZ he prepared to unleash
his attack there were indications
that he would recommend that the
q. o. p. vote against the measure II
It could not be amended.
He and other members-includine
10 number Of Democrats-hope that
when the amendment stage Is reached
next week, It will be possible to strike
from the bill the section levying taxes
on employers and employees for old
ago arnuities.
It was understood that the Repub-
lican criticism would center about
the contention That raising 4278. 8.600,-
900 through taxes In 1887 and 81 ST.
100000 In lo6O-as the bill would pro-
pose-would be undesirable.
All Have Opportunity
Meanwhile. On avenue appeared
open through which advocates Of the
Townsend old-age pension and Lun-
deem social security plans could get
. vote on ct least the essence Of their
proposals. They contended that un-
der house rules their complete bills
could not be offered as amendments
TO the administration's bill.
But Friday they found that
they could. for example. propose
70 increase from 4l5 to 800 q
month the maximum federal con-
tEibution toward . pension paid vn-
der . state law. They could even
offer IN amendment to make the
federal government bear the full bur-
den Of . pension Of 1900 . month.
There was . possibility. too. that
they would suggest IN amendment
under which the money to finance
pensions would b raised BY . 2 PEI
cent tax on financial transactiona
instead Of through taxes on payrolla
and earnings.
The L,lndeen bill followers had On
opportunity too. They could offer "a
amendment to the unemployment
insurance sections stipluating that NJ
state Unemployment insurance sys.
tenn would be approved unless It guar
anteed at least 80 . week to eacll
needy person.
