After Coast Trip


Lifting of the coast maritime tie
up. slated for Monday, will presage
q minor boom in business activity,
j. r. Fahs, I. v. Hardware stores
executive, predicted today after re-
turning from a weeks business trip
in Los Angeles.
Large stocks OF merchandise, tied
up on stranded ships, will be re-
leased and business will squirt to
makeup for the temporary slump
during the walkous, Fahs declared.
Although Imperial Valley escaped
serious effect OF the strike, the
valley will profit by the revival,
he added.
Fahs attended the annual Mid
winter Furniture market display
while In Los Angeles and reported
distinct trend among furniture
manufacturers toward more con-
servative styles. Prices, he declar-
ed. are holding strong in furniture
lines. Expert observers expect them
TO advance as the spring buying
volume gets under way.

McIver and Miss Barry, as long
time icnumbents, were classed by
both sides as known quantities, and
therefore open to attack on policy
matters.
Opponents aimed their big guns
at McIver's written assurance to a
bondholder that irrigation district
bonds, in his opinion, are the best
interest-free bonds in the country.
The letter quoted by McIver's OPP
ponents was written, they say, at
a time when the district board was
attempting to refinance bonded in
debtedness at a low figure.
Under Fire
Miss Barry was subjected to at
tacks on her recent lowering OF
district land valuations, claimed by
her opponents to have been a pol
itical gesture forcing the board to
fix a higher assessment rate and
appear in bad light to taxpayers.
Both Miss Barry and McIver, on
the other hand, charged that their
defeat is sought by the majority OF
the board of directors because their
policies are not in accord.
The two offices, as the only ones
filled by a district-wide vote, pre-
sented many facts not seen in bal
loting for directors, confined TO the
district divisions.

Among the many talks of in
terest were the following. DR.. A,
P. Kelley's on the salinity expert
ments being conducted in Impe-
rial valley to check the results
of the salt balance, the average
amount Of saline materials car
ried in annually by the Colorado
minus the amount carried away
by drainage into Salton sea. Bor-
ings are taken once year on
10 ranches in various parts Of the
valley to see if the amount of salt
is increasing or decreasing.
DR.. G. F. Pillsbury is conduct
ing work on the water require
ments for citrus in an attempt to
determine the amount of ground
moisture utilized in orchards or
vineyards.
Root stock trial plots by DR.. H.
j. Weber, similar in scope to
those at the Emil Steiner ranch
near Brawley were examined in
a field trip.
Fertilization experiments were
also of particular interest, those
on navel orange plots showing
that one pound of available nitro
gen per tree just maintains that
tree and that the best results are
obtained by furnishing one-half
organic and one-half inorganic
available nitrogen. Excellent re-
suits were obtained with nitrate
soda and with grain straws if they
did not go beyond the ration OF
20 parts of carbon to one part OF
available nitrogen. The organic
process itself, the breaking down
of material, has been found to
have a beneficial result.

fective" means not only crippleS
and those mentally defective but
persons in i'll health and the aged.
In order to be entitled to the
$400 credit, the taxpayer must fur
nish the dependent his or her chief
support. The credit is based upon
actual financial dependency and
not mere legal dependency. For
example. father whose children
receive half or more of their sup
port from trust fund or other
separate source is not entitled to
the credit.
Neither relationship nor resi-
dence is a factor in the allowance
of the $500 credit for a dependent.
The taxpayer and the dependent
may be residents of different cities.
If husband and wife both contri-
butte to the support of depen-
dent, the $500 credit may be taken
by the one contributing the chief
support, and may not be divided
between them.
A single person who supports in
his home an aged mother is en-
titled not only to the $400 credit
for dependent but also to the
personal exemption of $4,000 as
the head of family. A widower
supporting under similar circum-
stances a dependent child under 10
years of age is entitled to the per-
sonal exemption of $500 as the
head OF family, plus the $500
credit for dependent.
Under the Revenue Act of 1896
both the personal exemption and
the credit for dependents are re-
quired to be prorated where the
status of tn taxpayer changed
during the year.
