but victims of ciscunStahce. If
we could bring these families here
it would give the valley as a whole
a greater producing power includ-
ing a greater earning capacity. It
would also make possible better liv-
ing conditions in the rural areas.
for if our countryside were more
thickly populated with small farm
homes, it would be possible to offer
the Imperial Valley farmer a great
er number of modern convenienc-
eS.
Hewes voiced his opinion of devel-
opment on the east side mesa, sug-
gesting the possibility of the gov
ernment s establishing a number
OF small experimental farms for the
benefit of those desiring to pur-
chase land in this area, studying
not only irrigation and proving
methods OF cultivation, but also a
tile drainage system to prevent pos
sible damage by underground wat
er. He also spoke of a plan where
by sub-marginal lands OF the I'M
perial Irrigation District might be
reclaimed and in later years be used
as sites for small farm homes.
Following this, w. j. Sterrett,
county administrator of the SERA,
told of the work he has been do
ing in connection with proposed

already - counties in California
