MARKET DECLINE.
OF Three DAYS
COMES TO halt

NEW YORK, May ~ QN.S0.
The stock market met support
late In the forenoon today, after
extending losses of the three pre-
ceding sessions as much as 3
points In initial dealings.
Trading slowed on the recovery,
but virtually all the early declines
were regained In pivotal groups,
and several issues managed to
work above previous closing levels
NEW LOWS HIT
Before support was met today,
q number Of representative issues
had tumbled into new low ground
for the year. These included
Bethlehem Steel, down a point at
its low; Pullman, slightly more;
Deere and International Harves-

ing he dug holes in the patch OF
ground that had been subsoiled
and found that the water had pene
trated as much as six feet, while
water penetrated only two feet to
thirty inches on the strip of land
which had not been sub-soiled.
The difference in yield and quail
ty of the alfalfa grown on the sub
soiled land and that which had
not been sub-soiled was even more
startling, according to Beyschlag.
Beyschlag pointed out to the
growers at the meeting that other
problems in water penetration were
also confronting valley farmers and
in most cases more economical
means of water penetration could
be put into effect.
Some lands get too much pene-
tration, Beyschlag said and as a
result a water table is built up,
The water table will then present
alkali problems. Other steps must
be taken on this type of land.
Winter irrigation was suggested
to obtain water penetration but
Beyschlag indicated that sub-soll-
ing would pay dividends in most
cases when the lana is too heavy
or too steep to obtain results from
winter irrigation.

STUDY OF WATER PENETRATION
PROBLEM URGED FOR FARMERS

Farmers of Imperial county Mon
day were urged to study water
penetration in their fields in order
that they might take steps to i'm
prove production and quality of
crops. Growers met at the w. r.
Thompson ran,e near Holtville
Monday afternoon. Frank Beysch-
lag, farm advisor, was in charge of
the meeting.
The group studied the effects of
sub-soiling in the irrigation of
alfalfa at the Thompson ranch and
heard reports by Thompson and
Beyschlag concerning drainage and
penetration problems which con-
front the valley farmers.
Thompson announced that he has
kept a record of the number of
bales of hay produced on each
section of his land during the past
year and noted there was a great
variation in production and in
quality.
This discovery led him to inves-
tigate the amount of water pene-
tration on his land. The Holtville
rancher then began his sub-soiling
experiments.
Thompson subsoiled all but a 25
foot strip OF land in his field and
planted alfalfa. At Mondays meet

The speaker was introduced by
Hewes, who acted as master OF
ceremonies Charles Wieman, pres
ident of the Imperial County Farm
Bureau. and Mrs. Olive Carleton,
chairman of the Al club council
and representative of Mrs. c. E.
Cooke. president of the farm home
department, were other speakers.
Each expressed appreciation 10 REA
for its help in bringing the electri-
fication project to its climax, and
voiced enthusiasm over the pros
poets for success of the public un-
dertaking.
Hewes, in his introduction OF
Carmody, touched briefly on the
struggle for public power in I'M
perial Valley.
1T has been no easy victory, .
he said. we will have to keep
our power dry for other battles, but
this day we celebrate actual begin
ming of work on an electrification
project of immeasurable benefit TO
our entire valley, country and city
alike"
Imperial Valleys fight is not yet
over, both Hewes and Wieman
warned.
1T has taken many years of sacri-
flee" said Wieman, to bring in the
water and subdue the desert. 1t
takes much effort now to keep that
water coming and maintain our
fields in production. So it has been
and will be in our power program.
Carmody, who came to the valley
from Washington to attend the
celebration, saw the occasion as the
beginning of an era of prosperity
in which farmers will harness cleo
tricity to remove the drudgery OF
their work, and will derive a profit
from their own electric system.
The dedication was featured by
presentation of a permanent mark
er presented by the farm women,
containing documents and neWspap-
ers of historical interest relating to
the power program.

Farm Labor in

To Other Jobs
Overflow Here To Be
Relieved by New
Relief Plan

Surplus agricultural labor
will be moved from Imperial
Valley by use of federal
funds allocated to pay trans
portation costs to places
where work is available.
The funds. part of a S150,000
federal grant to California, will be
administered by Charles Barry
manager of the federal labor camp
at Brawley. who Recently was ap-
pointed rehabilitation supervisor
for this district.
The already staggering surplus
of farm labor is expected to be
increased shortly by approximately
1000 workers from the middle west,
who are already headed this way
as a result of advertisements, Barry
declared, inserted in newspapers by
certain labor contractors. The
money is intended for those not
legal residents of California and
thus not the states responsibility.
May frOFlut NOTk
Barry and county supervisors
Monday afternoon discussed work
the laborers may do to earn their
transporta ton. Since the federal
government will provide no work
projects, it was suggested that the
men earn their transportation by
clearing weeds from irrigation ditch
banks in the area where they are
living at present. This was propos-
ed as it eliminates the task of get
ting the men to and from work.
The bitches exist throughout the
valley and clearing them of weeds
would be of benefit to the valley
as we'll as providing work for the
laborers.
The agricultural workers in many
advertisements they had clipped
from newspapers and said they
came to California to get the work
advertised. He said some of the ad-

Barry said, by the name Harold
Mort Barry declared the men
and their families are living along
the ditch banks and in deplorable
desert camps in the northend. They
want to work, he said, but have been
unable to get it.
Government checks will range
in amount from $40 to $40, Barry
said, and the laborers and their
families will be permitted to use
their automobiles to make the trip
either to the place of their legal
residence or to where work is avail
able.
Barry said he would consult Of
ficials of the county welfare depart
ment and the State Relief admin
istration as to the applicants ELI
gibility for the transportation
funds. He also plans to confer fur
ther with the Imperial Irrigation
District regarding work for the
men.
Work releases are expected to be
provided by the government soon
SO the agency providing the work
would be relieved of sponsibility
and liability in case of injury OF
death to the men while working out
their transportation charges, Barry
explained.
