Watermelon GrowerS
FAVOR Adoption of
New Market Plan


Preliminary tabulation of the
ballots cast by watermelon grow
ers of the states of Florida, Geor-
gia, South Carolina, and North
Carolina during the meetings of
referendum recently conducted on
the proposed marketing-ag
program indicates that a sub
stantial majority of the growers
concerned favor adoption of the
program. Meetings were held in
the watermelon producing districts
by the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice in these States for the pur-
pose of providing growers with
an opportunity for registering their
desires concerning the agreement
and order.
Shippers of watermelons from
the southeastern area also have
the signature of the agreement
under consideration at the present
time. If the agreement is signed
by shippers who handled at least
30 per cent Of the watermelons
shipped from the southeastern
area last season, it can be made
effective for the coming market
ing season.

Terrible Dust Storms
Described i'm Letter

s. S. Bragg, who came to Imperial
Valley from Kansas 16 years ago,
was more firmly convinced this
week that his move of 16 years ago
was a wise one. and that Imperial
Valley has its advantages.
Rearding newspaper accounts of
middle western dust storms, Bragg
was inclined to doubt that the pic
ture was as black as painted, so he
wrote to his brother in-law, farmer
near Liberal, Kan. In part, this
was the reply he received from j. A.
Ritter, the relative:
About the dirt storms, will say
that I have never seen an article in
a newspaper that began to describe
some we have had. In fact, no one
could describe them. Some of these
old prairie dogs try, but their Eng
lish is faulty and would not do to
write.
For the past month I have worn
goggles and a dust mask to go out
and do the chores, and did not stay
out in it any longer than I could
help. 1t is a fine, sticky dust, like
flour and causes a great many cases
of pneumonia. 1t sifts into the
house so badly we are sometimes
compelled to get our breath through

TO CONTRIBUTE

LOS ANGELES, April IA. U.P)-

an investigation of charges that
WPA workers on sewer project in
Long Beach were forced to con-
tribute .$5 monthly to liquor fund

Jones, Negro, on charges of dis
turbing the peace last April 3 by

Davidson charged that the uniden-
titled foreman told him he must
contribute SIS month if he wanted
to retain his job.
They used it to buy liquor" Day.

William r. Mckay asked what was
done with the money.
A report on Davidsons testimony

1900 Cabinet Makers
In L A. on Strike

LOS ANGELES, April IA. UR)-
More than 1900 cabinet makers in
Los Angeles were on strike today for
a shorter work week and higher
! wages.
The strike was called by officials
of the Millmen's and Cabinet Max
ers' Union, local 884. 1t affects
firms manufacturing store fixtures
and related lines in the cabinet
business.
The strikers are seeking a five
day, 40-hour week; union recogni-
ton, double pay for Sundays and
holidays and time and a half for
overtime including Saturdays.

to be completed this week.
Construction of the corrugated
iron building to cover the engines
began Monday. A lotion capacity
crane will be included in the
building. This crane will be used
in the case of repairs having to
be made. 1t is capable of lift
ing engine or generator parts
weighing 10 tons, according to M.
j. Dowd, chief engineer of the
district.
Auxiliary Machines
The building will be "a feet
wide, 30 feet long and 38 feet in
height. Auxiliary machines will
be installed in the basement as
will the auxiliary pumps for fore
ing heated water from the engines
to the cooling tower and back.
A cooling tower through which
water from the engines is forced
as a part of the cooling system,
was designed to Withstand a wind
pressure of 103 miles per hour.
The tower and the plant were de-
signed to make them as nearly
earthquake resistant as possible.
The oil to be used as fuel to
turn the engines will be stored
in an $4,000 tank above the ground
surface with an auxiliary tank of
10000 gallons buried beneath the
surface of the ground. Fuel may
be poured into the tanks from cars
on the nearby railroad tracks or
from trucks.
Four trained men assembled
the parts of the engines and gen.
orators as they were unloaded
from cars on the tracks. They
used huge Marion crane to lift
and deposit the parts which in
many instances weighed hundreds
of pounds.
Work Delayed
Contract for the $228,000 engines,
generators, auxiliarieS, and dis
tribution transformers was let in
March, 1884, and the Southern
Sierras Power company obtained
a temporary injunction holding up
development in August that same
year. This injunction delayed de-
livery of the equipment and also
development in Brawley until af-
ter the temporary injunction was
lifted Another temporary in
junction again delayed work but
finally work began in February.
The plant is situated on a 10
acre site on South Imperial ave-
nue. and DogWood road. There is
sufficient ground for a complete
plant, including a sub-station for
high tension lines from the ALL
American canal power plants when
they are completed, Dowd said.
Entirely Modern
The plants are modern in every
way, the engineer said, and were
designed to assure dependable ST.
vice.
Eleven miles of poles already
are installed in the nOrthend city
and stringing of electric wires is
expected to be completed tbs week.
A total of 20 men are working
on the plant and distribution sys-
tenn.
