Liberalization of the new soil
conservation act, now known as

that many more Imperial Valley
farmers may obtain benefits under
it than was brought possible at
first" said Frank G. Beyschlag,
farm adviser, who has just return
cd from a regional conference in
Pomona where details of the plan
were announced.
Beyschlag said that every farmer
in the valley, in his opinion, should
at least fill out work sheets when
the proper time comes, as the lib
eralization of the program may
even result more favorably than
the old AAA which local farmers
endorsed.
The name of the program has
been changed to avoid confusion
with the soil erosion program and
with its liberalization it has be-
come necessary to increase the

drive for early adjournment. Com
pletion of the navy bill will leave
the deficiency bill carrying $780,

The bill, as reported, is SAL, 1922
1872 larger than the appropriation

522,592 less than budget estimates

In last hour move, the commit

permitting construction of two giant
$4,000 ton battleships for replace
ment of obsolete craft after Decem-
Der 81, 1886 when the Washington
treaty would permit laying down
requirements of over age dread
naughtS.
The clause would be effective
only should any signatory power to
the London treaty in 1880 or the
recent London agreement under

The clause was inserted to permit
the United States to match any

that it was unwilling to recommend
that the navy department should
be given carte blanche" in battle
