FA R M PLAN
| M P R Owed,
SAYS FOULDS
New Program Held
Superior to Old
AAA fof Valley

1t is now apparent that
the new Agricultural Con-
servation program will fit
Imperial County farming
practices better than did the
old Triple A, and that the benefits
to our farmers will be much great
er, Scott B. FouldS, secretary OF
the Farm Bureau, declared today.
Enough work sheets have now
been filed and estimated to indi-
cate that many of the larger farm
operators will qualify for from
$1,000 TO $2,500 in grants. Many
of the smaller operators will quail
ify for from 500 to $500. 1t would
appear that if all valley farmers
Who can qualify will file work
sheets the grants in Imperial coun-
ty will total 100000 to 100000.
Farmers we're urged by Foulds to
file work sheets. If they do not
qualify under the act, he declared,
they have not lost anything or
obligated themselves to anything.
If they do not file before the clos
ing date, which will probably be
some time this month, they may
have lost a substantial payment.
The requirements for qualifica-
ton arc still subject to change and
are too complicated to explain
briefly. The sensible thing TO do
lOW is for every farm operator to
ch tlnr ttyifh u
local committeeman or at the farm
advisers office in the court house,
FOulds said.

MAN CAUGHT
IN HUNT FOR
'BLUEBEARD D
Fugitive StiU at Large
Despite New
Search

Reports Of the capture of
Socorro Esquivel, suspected
'Bluebeard,' a fugitive from
the Mexicali jail, proved
false Wednesday after Off
GERS examined a prisoner caught by
a posse north of Brawley.
Ranchers and Westmorland po-
lice surrounded the suspect and
held him until deputy sheriffS ar
rived.
The peculiar attitude of the SuS-
poet and the fact that his appear
ance was similar to the description
of the hunted man, led to his cap
ture. He was placed under arrest
pending investigation.
Sheriff Robert w. Ware express
cd appreciation of the efficient
manner in which the posse handled
the situation. He predicted the
fugitive soon would be behind the
bars.
Esquivel is wanted for question
ing in connection with several un-
solved murders in the Los Angeles
area. His wife told Mexicali po-
lice her husband had boasted OF
his connection with the crimes and
insisted she was afraid he would
kill her, too. She begged the Mexi-
cali police to keep him locked up
when they had him in Jail on a
minor charge. ESquivel, however,
escaped from the Jail and disap-
peare1.
The day following his escape, a
mal answering his description was
seen in the vicinity of DiXieland
He left footprints later identified
as those of ESquivel
