HEAVY CULLING
AMONG VALLEY
DAIRY HE r D S

The summary of the Imperial
County Cow Testing Association for
the year ending November 80, 1884,
shows 26.9 per cent of COWS in herds
completing the years tests were
culled out during the year, which
places the number of cows culled
from the local association through
the regular testing program So per
cent above the state average, ac-
cording to information received by
George L. Winwright, assistant farm
advisor, from c. E. Gordon, Uni
yersity of California dairy special
iSt.
In addition, the drought program
took approximately $500 dairy COWS,
most of which were cullS, and when
both of these numbers are added to
the number removed by the TB test,
some of which were inferior in addi-
ton to being diseased, the fact is
demonstrated that dairy herds OF
Imperial county have been more
drastically culled during the past
year than they have been in any
other place in the nation.
Cow testing has been used as a
foundation for a dairy improvement
program in California over period
OF years." says Gordon. Cow test
ing records have been used success
fully as a basis for practices of
dairy Improvement, including the
elimination of producing COWS,
feeding according to the needs of
the cows as indicated by their rec
ords of production, and for use in
the development OF constructive
breeding programs. OF all the COWS
under test last year 21.7 per cent
were culled out on the basis of these
records as improbable. During the
past few years of low prices those
dairymen who have participated in
an improvement program have been
far better able to withstand the
period of low price of dairy products
than have most dairymen."

The big ship slid off the ground
easily, rose gracefully and circled
the airport. Miss Ingalls, pulled up
the retractable landing gear a short
distance off the ground and in a
few seconds the monoplane with its
coal black shell, flattened out with
its snub nose pointed eastward.
Weather bureau officials said a
brisk southwest tail wind would aid
her to achieve her goal The plane
has cruising speed of 205 miles an
hour, but airport attaches believed
it would pick up more speed with

APPEAL FOR
PENSION BILL
Poet Laureate OF California
Makes Strong Plea For DR..
Townsend's Plan

WASHINGTON, April 16. U.P)-
Rep. John Steven McGroarty
(Dem.) poet laureate of California,
appealed to house members today
to back the Townsend old age pen
sion plan and asserted that other
wise they will face political obliv-
ion.
The elderly Californian, speaking
during general debate on the secur-
ity bill, failed to give an attentive
audience details of the Townsend
program which he is sponsoring in
the house.
He asked the house instead to re-
member that "God IS beloved old
people are out yonder watching
every move you make here"
"Get in line," pleaded Nc
Groarty in his mellow quivering
voice. "Get in line so you III come
back next session. I won't return
to the next congress but you are
all good fellows and I want you to
come back"
1--WE are proposing an honest
to-God old age pension, said Nc
Groarty. "It's the vision of a man
much sneered at and jeered at
here, but those who know DR..
Townsend know he's too good a
man to be sneered at. He's honest
as the rain. He is a scientific and
an educated man. Shame on those
who jeer.'
Scores Brain Trust
"Many of them are not fit to
wipe the dust off his shoes. As
for those who say the program is
( 'cockeyed and full of bedbugs,
do you want to call the 30,000,000
Townsend petitioners crazy as
bedbugs?' You re talking about
Gods beloved oid people. They re-
sent it.
1.-The revised Townsend bill is the
most scientific and Statesmanlike
bill ever introduced in a congress.
One reason why is that I didn It
write it. -
McGroarry, whose touches of
quaint humor brought constant
laughs from the house, ridiculed
the "brain trust
"College professors did not write
the Ten Commandments he said,
"nor the Book of Job, nor the Four
Gospels, nor the Declaration of In
dependence, nor the famous song,

SUPERVISORS ADVISED ON ROADS
Man Explains Advantages Of
Consolidation
San BernardinO

That much saving can be had in
the proper combination of county
road districts was pointed out to the
board of supervisors yesterday after
noon by James w. Cole of San
Bernardino who had been asked by
the board to speak to them on that
question. Cole declared that pro-
gram of road districts consolidation
had worked out very successfully
in San Bernardino county and he
saw no reason why the same pro-
gram could not be organized here.
When asked whether the five
road district budgets should be
handled separately as at present or
pooled into one he stated that he
believed it would be better to have
them kept distinct. One efficient
general road superintendent for
the entire county, however, would
Imperial Valley press., 1935-04-16

prove more satisfactory than
present methods of operation, he
said No definite action in this
matter was taken by the board at
yesterdays session.
The board decided that if and
when the national unemployment
agency now under the direction of
Chan Livingston would move into
the county court house, then the
county would furnish gasoline, oil
and repairs for the car of Captain
Cunningham, now in the employ of
the federal government, not to eX-
ceed $50 per month.
The board authorized Dave Ven
Gill, Holtville supervisor, to sell the
building on the Veterans lots in
Holtville and ordered the clerk to
advertise for bids for county print
ing which are to be opened by the
board at their May 6 meeting.

AWAIT REPORT
ON PROBE Of
GRIFFIN CASE
Grand Jury Recommendations
Expected To Prevent Illegal
Executions

LOS ANGELES, April 16. W.R)-
Recommended changes in Califor-
MIA IS criminal code to prevent repe-
tition of the erroneous hanging
of Rush Griffin, 19-year-old Ne
gro, were awaited today after a
grand jury sifted circumstances
surrounding the so-called "blunder
execution.
The jury was told that San Quen-
tin prison officials were notified
twice of a pending appeal for the
young slayer before the trap was
sprung, sending Griffin to his
death.
Witnesses testified that a first
notice of appeal which automatic
ally should have stayed execution,
was sent in a letter dated January
90. in which c. K. Boardman, chief
court clerk of Los Angeles county,
enclosed a death warrant and in
formation that "the case is now
on appeal" "
A certified copy of the same in
formation later was sent to the
prison together with a reporter IS
transcript of record and a notation
which said: "Let the record show
notice of appeal on behalf of both
defendants. -
The jury made no recommends
tions on adjournment, but it was
expected a statement would be is
sued within two or three days,
carrying suggested changes in the
criminal code to prevent further
1" errors. -
Inspect Records
The grand Jury inspected records
showing that the death warrant,
with notice of appeal, were received
by San Quentin officials. A letter
signed with the name of Julian H.
Alec, acting warden, also was in
troduced into the record.
Arthur Moore, deputy court clerk
who was suspended for 80 days for
failing to forward the appeal TO
the state supreme court, also was
summoned to testify.
Griffin was sentenced, together
with Willie Smith, another Negro,
on January 81, for the murder Of
Laurence L. Lyon, medical student.
The notice of appeal, automatic
ally staying the hanging, came to
light after Griffin IS attorney read
of his client S execution in the
newspapers. Preliminary investiga-
ton disclosed that the document
was in the court clerk KS desk and
had not been filed with the supreme
court.
The attorney said he had hoped
to prove that Griffin shot and
killed Lyon in self-defense in which
case the supreme court could have
committed the death sentence to
life imprisonment.
