FARM FIELD
TESTS MADE
FOR VALLEY

Field tests are being conducted by
farmers in the Acacia, Blawley, and
Fl Centre districts comparing the
value to alfalfa of 10 per cent super.
phosphate at 400 pounds per acre
Ammo phosphate at 1873 pounds per
acre. and barnyard manure at tons
per acre.
Tests have been conducted Tor
several years in various parts OF the
county to determine the value OF
i8 per cent superphosphate to al
falfa and some ranches have given
increased yields more than paying
for the fertilizer the first year and
carrying considerable benefit over
into the second year There is con-
siderable interest in Ammo Phos
phate at present and also in the
use of barnyard manure since some
have been able to make long time
leases which will allow them TO get
the full benefit from this practice
and the present tests are intended
to compare the returns from ap.
proXimately the same expense.

Reductions in Rates


Savings to consumers OF Califor-
MIA public utilities during the last
Is years, through rate reductions,
has reached an accumulated total
Of S842 1923 800, equivalent to $ll8.75
for every dollar spent by the Cali
fornia Railroad commission in its
regulatory activities. Chief Engineer
c. c. Brown reported to President
M B. Harris.
The total of the original reduc-
tons made since 1921 is $92, 2,219000.
Considering these reductions as
cumulative and continued savings,
that is the 1921 reductions as hav-
ing been effective for Is years, the
1922 reductions as effective for IA
years the savings to California con-
sumers reaches total of $842,-
323,800
The reductions for the fiscal
year 1885, to date, are 1880 800
through cuts In rates ordered by
the commission and voluntary re-
ductionS by the utilities.
During these years the commits
sion has cost, in operating expenses,
4 total Of STOOL ,232. With the eX-
ception of two years. its operating
budget for the fiscal year 1885,
has been the lowest since 1921.

commission expended $422,480 in
its activities of regulating Califor-
MAS utilities. Reductions in rates

Shops to Be Closed
On Memorial Day

A canvass made by the El Centro
chamber of commerce reveals that
stores, with the exception of food
markets. will be generally closed oil
day on Memorial Day, Saturday,
May 80. The large food markets,
the survey reveals, expect to close
from 9 to IL O'Clock a. m. during
the Memorial service and reooen
thereafter. The apparel stores,
hardware stores and similar con-
Germs not handling food stuffs will
be closed all day.
Grocers who discussed the sub
ject felt it would be unfair to their
customers to close all day with no
opportunity provided for week end
shopping. particularly in the midst
of the cantaloupe shipping season.
The matter has apparently been sat
isfactorily settled by these concerns
agreeing to close during the mem
orial services conducted Saturday
morning Doors will be closed be-
tween the hours OF Q and IL.

Proposed State Park
Nearing Realization

The proposed state park in west
ern Imperial county, the boundar
les of which commence at about the
entrance of Painted canyon in the
Coyote mountains and extending
westward to Cuyamaca state park
and northward to Borego state park,
and east of Borego to the shores of
Salton Sea. advanced a step nearer
realization when Secretary of the
former unfavorable action ard rec
commended to the house committee
on public lands the passage of Con
gresham George Burnham's park
bills, which would place this highly
scenic desert area in the California
state park system.
Secretary Ickes haa previously
opposed the bills of Burnham and
Senator Hiram johnson, introduced
for the purpose of placing the Val
lecito area and the shores of Salton
Sea in the state park system, be-
cause of other pending legislation,
general in character, which would
permit any and all states to select
government lands for park purposes.
1t was feared that the general bill
known as the Wagner bill, would if
passed be too laborious in operation
and the California senator and con
gresham introduced special bills re
lating only to the lands in San Di-
ego and Imperial counties.
In a telegram received from Con-
gresham Burnham by Manager
Robert Hays of the Ell Centro cham
Der of commerce. Burnham advised
that he is making every effort to
have the bill Immediately consider,
ed again by the committee, with the
probability that It will be passed

Rail Commission
Authorizes SO
Grade Separations

The California Railroad commits
sion has authorized. within the last
six months, the separation of grades
OF SO dangerous crossings of high
ways and railroad tracks and the
installation of additional protective
signals at 70 other crossings, Trans
portation Engineer J. G.. Hunter
reported Friday.
The 'Sork, done by the State De-
partment Of Public Works, is fin
anced by the government through
appropriations from the Emergency
Relief Act OF 1885. The estimated
cost of the grade separations and
additional protective devices is ST.
100000.
The Federal money can be spent
only for construction purposes,
Hunter reported and any expense
for additional rights of way or
property damage is in addition to
that sum.
TWenty-seVen OF the proposed
separations are with the state
highways and the remaining twelve
are with roads under jurisdiction
of cities and counties. About two
thirds of the proposed separations
will be accomplished by means of
subways and thirteen of the struc-
lures will be overhead.
Among the largest of the projects
is the line change at Niles, Alameda
county. requiring the construction
of six subWays under the main lines
and branch tracks Of Southern
