TELEVISION broadcasts now

TELEVISION broadcasts now being

British Broadcasting Corp, have, with
few notable exceptions, been only
moderately successful, according to
report to the Department of Com

While the technical problem con-
nected with such broadcasts appear to
have been solved, the report points
out. the broadcasting company is ex-
periencing difficulty in developing the
most suitable types Of television pro-
grams. So far the only films shown
aside from newsreels have been of an

LIST ALL LAND WHEN APPLYING
FOR CONSERVATION PAYMENT

Imperial county farmers cooper
ating in the 1887 Agricultural Con-
servation Program, who own or
operate more than one farm in
single county, were warned TO make
certain that all land owned or oper-
ated by them is reported in the ap-
plication for payment. c. L. Nc
Laughlin, secretary of the Imperial
County Agricultural Conservation
committee announced.
Mclaughlin explained that all
farms on which the applicant shares
in the principal crop, or has con-
tributed TO performance, included
those on which a 1897 payment is
earned and those on which the de-
ductions exceed the payment, must
be included He called attention to
the following three cases which may
occur as result of not including
in the application all farms owned
or operated by the applicant.
The first case is that in which an
owner or operator failed to report
all farmers which he owned or oper-
ated at the time of filing his appli-
cation has been approved by Che
State Agricultural Conservation Of
flee. additional farms can NOT be
included for the purpose of receiv-
ing larger payment.

Half Of Acreage
Of Beets Now Up

Eighteen hundred acres of sugar
beets have already been planted in
Imperial Valley, Los Alamitos Sugar
company officials announced. About
half Of this acreage is now up, and
thinning operations started this
week.
Several hundred acres were seed
ed at the rate of five pounds per
acre, which is fifty per cent less
than the rate used in other parts
of the state. This reduction was
possible because of the high ger
mination assured by early fall warm
seedbed. Later paintings have been
at the rate or seven and eight pounds
per acre because CT shorter days
and cooler nights.
The stands so far seem good and
the low seeding rate should reduce
thinning costs. It is expected that
next years planting equipment will
be so improved that thinning may
perhaps be eliminated, which is the
goal for which farmers are striving.
Too much care cannot be taken
in the preparation of seed beds, ex-
perts pointed out. Money spent in
the. preparation of the best possible
seed bed will receive big dividends
all through the growing season in

however, comes rayon, which can
be cut into any length and woven
with wool. Hard of detection, the
cloth appears excellent, but accord

AS a result, the National Wool

interested organizations, are asking
congress for a law compelling the
plain labelling of woolen goods to
show the percentage of wool and OF
adulterants.
