Wheat Allotment
To Be Announced
In Valley Soon

Imperial Valleys portion of the
698,754 acre California allotment for
wheat will be announced early in
July for apportionment to various
wheat farms. L.. G. Hawk of the
Imperial county agricultural con-
servation committee announced
Wednesday.
AS soon as the county allotment
is determined for 1910. the county
committee will allocate It to in
dividual growers in provision with
the program.
Farmers will know well in ad.
vance of fall planting this year
what their allotments will be-"
Hawk said
"California's share of the national
wheat allotment represents an in
crease of IL per cent over the 1889
allotment of 626,306 acres. The in
creased California quota is the re.
suit of national allotment of 81
million acres as compared to 55
million for the current year.

troubled history the case OF DR..
James Monroe Smith, fugitive for
mer president of the stat univer-
sity.
The East Baton Rouge parish
grand jury decided not to wait for
Smiths capture, for which the
sheriff has offered $3.50 reward, be-
fore delving into the financial chaos
he left benind-a shortage of cash
and university bonds estimated as
high as 81 100000.
It developed during the night
that Smiths flier in the wheat mar
ket had involved borrowing $500, 900
from three Louisiana banks, for
which he left notes as security
The banks think the state will have
to stand good for the notes and
the state, in the person of Attorney
General David M. Ellison, says that
1t will not, that If it should do
so, the state itself would commit
felony.
It was also learned that 100000
worth of Louisiana State university
bonds, which Smith offered to his
broker for margin when the wheat
market was falling, and which the
broker refused to take because
there was some question about their
legality, had not been seen since.
Finally, a third blow fell today
when it was reported that investi-
gators could not find an additional
$4,000 worth of negotiable LS.U.
bonds.
