Months of discord between the
PWA and the WPA as to methods
Of employment under the 1000
million-dollar work relief act have
resulted in a ruling in favor OF
PWA, it was learned today.
An executive order has been Is
sued to give definite priority" IN
the assignment of labor to PWA
projects.
Secretary of the Interior Har-
old L. Iekes, PWA administrator,
and Hopkins have diff ere d
throughout the work relief pro
gram as to methods Of providing
employment.
Ickes always has stood for per
manent, heavy construction works
and improvements. Hopkins, who
as emergency relief administrator
handled the old CWA, and now,
as WPA administrator, Is IN
charge of that program, has stood
for qui c k,starting, widespread
projects that provide JOBS IN
hurry, though the projects are
less substantial.

ernmental agencies to provide

lief act was passed last April re-
suited in Transforming Of WPA,
originally merely a checking"
agency to speed up the program
to an employment. project-dlrect-
ing agency.
Confusion resulting threatened
the PWA program, it was learned.
At first, when PWA was paying
the prevailing rate of wages, and
WPA was paying only security"
wages ranging from 10 a month 10
500, employables from the relief
rolls preferred PWA jobs.
Several months ago, because OF
strikes and refusal Of employaoles
to take jobs at security wages,
which they claimed were less than
relief allowances, Hopkins author
lied State and local WPA admin.

shorten hours in their own d1scre-

The result, in many commun1-
ties, was higher wages, or at least
wages equivalent to PWA wages.
with shorter hours. Then employ
ableS assigned to PWA work re-
fused to accept jobs under con-
tractors-practically all PWA prof.
ects are let to contractors-prefer-
ring the shorter hours and less
arduous labors of WPA projects.
Hopkins Issu.- o der
While the source resulting in the
latest change was not learned, it
was found that Hopkins had is
sued an order more than a week
ago directing that priority be given
to PWA employment; The order
stated: -.
"Such priority must be OBJ
served by the State WPA ad-
ministratOrS in planning sn-
pIOyment. Workers are to be
made available to PWA even
though this involves pOStpOning
the initiation Of WPA projects,
or curtailing work on active
projects by re-asSigning WPA
workers"
Previously Hopkins had issued
an order granting PWA workers
who had been on relief prefer
ence on WPA jobs when their
PWA employment ended.
While both WPA and PWA Of
ficials declined to discuss the
new order, PWA spokesman said
that Hopkins had been Co
operating" in every way to make
the PWA employment program
effective.
At a recent press conference
Hopkins said that as PWA and
other governmental agency en-
ployment increased, WPA employ
ment would decrease.

MALNUTRITION OVERSTRESSED,
PHYSICIAN INFORMS MOTHERS

When parents try to force feed
their children they are invading
highly scientific field about which
they know little If they think
such drastic action Is necessary,
they should see a doctor.
Here are the six fundamental
rules that every mother should re-
member as announced by the Cali
fornia exeort who has spent half a
generation in the study of diet, es-
pecially for children:
l. For practical purposes one
vegetable is as good as another"
q Meat is a valuable food for
which fish is the only complete
substitute
3. Cereals as muSh are no more
valuable than cereals in the form
of bread crackers and the like.
T. Every child does not need q
quart of milk daily.
5. A diet which contains toe
much fat not only decreases the
appetite but actually prevents di-
gestion, absorption and consequent
ly growth.
6. A temporary loss of appetite
means nothing except that the
child is not hungry If this lack o.
desire to eat continues, it may b'
the first signs of sickness.

All farmers who are interested
in the development of pure seeds

nomy Field Day to be held at Davis,
Friday, May %, according to infor-
nation received by H. Lee Lander
man, assistant farm advisor. AT
this meeting, farmers have an op-
portunity to obtain information on
the values and adaptations OF pure
seeds, their sources, and the Scientl-
fic processes by which they are de-
veloped. In addition, this year part
of the program Will be devoted to a
discussion of the progress that has
been made with disease-reSiStant
strains. The growing interest OF
field and truck crop growers in this
event has been demonstrated by an
increased attendance each year.
The annual meeting of the State
Calaproved Seed Committee will be
held in Agronomy Building at Da-
Wis at 7:30 pm, Thursday May 21,
the evening preceding the field day.
All farmers Wro desire to attend

tending this meeting because OF the
distance involved.

eral State Market News at BraW-
ley show that 491 carloads of can
taloupes, of honeyballs and 8 of
mixed honeyballs and cantaloupes,
had been shipped since this years
first carload consignment, sent out
April 18.
OF the shipments, 274 cars went
out of Brawley 220 from Ell Gen.
tro and three from .Heber.
In 1895, the first carload ship
ment of cantaloupes was made
on April 27, with a total of 70
carloads recorded up to May 16.
During the banner season of 1884,
3178 carloads were shipped to the
same date, the first consignment
leaving April 2.
The 1896 acreage for cantaloupes
honeyballs and honeydews totals,
24,l52, as compared to 28,648 acres
in 1895. Shippers believe that the
reduced acreage will spell better
prices for the present season.
Resistant Types
Growers, who have previously
suffered huge losses from mildew
are rapidly substituting the mil
deW-resistant cantaloupes for the
susceptible varieties. The resis-
tants are the result of crossing two
or three varieties of melons, one
of which is said to have been
imported from India.
On Saturday prices were quoted
1925 to $240 per crate for can't
aloupe standards and S275 for
the hard-ripe, pre-cooled cantal-
oupes.
Two shipping firms are running
their melons through liquid wax
process this year, in order to in
crease preservation during ship
ping. Many are also being stamp
ed, the better to identify the ORR
gin and brand to the consumer.
While the cantaloupe acreage de-
creased this year, as compared to
last season, the watermelon acre
age was increased from 5000 acres
in 1895, to 1850 in 1896. The add
ed acreage Is believed due to the
good prices which prevailed last
season.

Imperial Valley has finished its
part of the work on the new Cali

to Supervisor B. M. Graham and IS
ready to be turned over to E. L.
Wallace, division engineer OF the
state highway department for I'M
proVement and maintenance as part
of the state secondary system. The
new highway leaves Calipatria on
SorenSon avenue and goes south TO
the game preserve, across the Ala
mo and New rivers to the Country
Club road and enters B,awley on
Eighth street. This road is a say
ing of nearly five miles over the
present paved highway. The state
highway commission has set aside
$70,00000 for improvements, and
Division Engineer Wallace is ex-
pected to call for bids for grading
and hard oil surfacing in the near
future. The road will form an inn
portant link with the North Shore
road to connect with Blythe,
Needles and Boulder Dam and
should be a drawing card for tour
lists to visit our state game refugees
during the winter months when so
many ducks and other wild fowl
flock to this region.
