" that the railroad workers will
not accept pay cuts.
The cut was agreed upon yestcr-
day by the board of directors Of
the association and accepted by
the general membership today.
Notice of the resolution will be
served upon the brotherhoods with
whom the roads have contracts.
The reduction will apply to al!
classes of railroad labor.
Because of the critical financial
condition of the railroads at the
beginning of 1882 Ga situation less
desperate than at presenb the
employees agreed in January of that
year to a wage redution of 10 per
cent" the association spokesman
said.
In other words the index or
hourly wage payments, effective
Feb. /, 1882, was reduced from
100 to 90. Through the gradual
restoration of the deduction, this
index was raised from 80 to 92.5 on
July /. 1884; to $50 Jan. l, 1885
and back to 100 April 1885.
THE wage increases granted in
1897 had the effect of raising the
index to substantially 108, figure
8 per cent higher than that in
effect during the complete deduc-
ton period"

ed. he meant deep penetfallOll ol
water. Deep penetration can be ac-
complished by slow irrigation in the
winter months. Slow irrigation IN
the summer months would blaze
the soil. Brown said.
The slow irrigation would bring
about a water penetration OF SIX
feet or more thus allowing the al
kali in the water to be distributed
through six feet of water instead
of only two feet as it does under
ordinary circumstances.
The ideal system of course would
be a drainage system which would
drain all OF the alkai from the land.
The growers inspected three plots
of alfalfa at the J. d Huston ranch
near Imperial. One section of land
had been sub -soiled. another section
had been sub-soiled with ammonium
phosphate added and a third section
he'd been treated with sulphur.
The section treated with sulphur
showed only an average growth, the
sub-soiled section demonstrated a
good stand of alfalfa and the sub
soiled section treated with alnmon-
ium phosphate was the best Of the
three.
Brown, however. Indicated that
still more results could be obtained
with slow irrigation.
Huston used slow irrigation but
the extension specialist indicated
that outstanding results could be
obtained through an even slower
watering.
Brown suggested short water runs
when possible with smaller heads
of water.
Sub-soiling was recommended as
a measure to use only as last re-
sort,

she died shortly before the hour
