With the awarding of the dredg-

Yacht Club and Flood Gate Boat
house have been given three weeks
notice that the work will prevent
launching or hauling out craft.

Capital Yacht Clubs crane was
working overtime late yesterday as
shippers endeavored to launch their
boats in time for rigging and last
minute tuning up. In past years
the large fleet OF sailboats fitted out
at the club and it was possible to
follow each stage.
With water front improvements
adjacent to the club under way, it
was deemed inadvisable for the
smaller craft to fit out there. Hence
shippers, some of whom admit miss
ing the advice Of Sidewalk super
intendents," have been doing their
scraping, sanding and painting in
back yards or garages.
Depending on the number of en-
tries, the following classes will start
TWenty-footers, comets, snipes, A
handicap and B handicap. If less
than three boats of any class show
up, they'll be combined with an
other division, according to Commo-
dore Paul Tomalin. Next Sunday
the regular spring series of six
weekly races will begin
Arlingtonians Enthusiastic.
Perhaps no one was more sur

given the proposal to form q new
yacht club for Arlington. Va, boat

sembled recently to organize the
Arlington Yacht Club. Although
meetings are being held in men,
bers' homes, the group is hopeful
of obtaining site above the mouth
of Spout Run on the Potomac as an
outdoor camp.
Frank G. Campbell, owner
of the cruiser Helma, was
selected as commodore by the
Is charter members.
William P. Ames, well-knoWn
yachtsman with his cruiser Mary

State Alfalfa
Acreage Hiked,
Valley S Lower

While Imperial county alfalfa
acreage decreased more than 1000
acres in 1889. total acreage in Cal,
ifornia was placed at $4,000 acres
as compared to 722,000 in 1888, a
market news service survey revealed
Saturday
Hay production. correSpondingly
lower in Imperial Valley. was up
more than $4,000 tons in California
as state production totaled 3,l65.000
tons. Average yield for the state was
4.3 tons per acre.
The grain hay crop was 25 per
cent under the large 1888 crop. AL
/ though prospects for most field
crops We're somewhere under normal,
growing conditions for alfalfa were
| generally favorable during most
of the season and resulted in above
average yields in some sections.
Notwithstanding late September
showers in some areas. whether con-
ditions were generally above aver
age in most producing sections, in
Guiding Fresno county in the north
and Imperial county in the south.
Imperial Valley shipped a record
bulk of hay to the Los Angeles
market by truck, 232,750 tons and
shipped approximately 1890 tons
by rail, slightly below last years
record.

Cash Income on
Nation S Farms
Shows Increase

An increase of So per cent in cash
farm income from marketing OF
products IN the last seven years
was reported Saturday by the Bur-
eau of Agricultural economics. The
1899 income from marketings was
estimated at S7625, 100000 which is
about equal to the 1893 figures
Cash income in 1892 was estimated
at s4,682, 100000.
The figures are part of a revised
series of annual estimates covering
the last thirty years. The Bureau
reported that direct government
parity and adjustment payments
TO farmers on account of soil con-
seryation in 1889 will total about
s675 ,000,0 900 a material addition to
the cash available to farmers.
Government payments constitu-
ted in 1899 an addition of 39 per
cent TO the cash income of farmers,
or about SGT per farm and S21 per
person living on farms. The income
from farm marketings in 1889 was
estimated to be about % percent
greater than the pre-World War
average of $5,00,000,0O0.
The Bureau. assisted by specialists
now associated with the Agricultural
Marketing Service, has complied
and published during the last two
years-as required by the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act of 1938-in-
come estimates covering most of the
principal farm products for the cal
endar years 1910 TO date. These
estimates have now been totaled.

A program TO reduce dairy cattle
feed costs and improve net returns
to the farmer was outlined Saturday
By George Winwright. assistant
county agent. in the monthly cow
testing association report.
Between 55 and 80 per cent of
the cost of producing butterfat is
for feed. WinWright pointed out
and each small saving in feed cost
will effect a greater total saving
than any other single item.
Winwight offered the following
methods OF reducing costs:
l. By feeding and milking fewer
and better COWS. This is the most
important single way of saving feed
Test the COWS regularly for produc-
ton and sell the Improbable COWS
to the butcher. 1t costs about STE
per year to feed the average COW

Plan Told TO
Control MiIdew
On Plants

Many inquiries are being received
on control of mildew on various
plants. This was particularly true
during the recent period then heavy
dews were forming each morning
according to Frank Beyschlag, farm
advisor. Roses, dahlias, and various
garden plants are the chief sufferers
at this time of year.
Even during dry weather the
humidity of air next to the top and
bottom sides of actively growing
leaves may be quite high. Plants
which are SO located that dew
remains on them for some time in
the morning tend to develop mil
dew very readily" Beyschlag stated
Rose plants should be set where
they get plenty of sun and. where
the foliage will remain relatively
dry at all times. Sprinkling should
be yoided as the additional water
added in this way is likely to cause
touble.
According to Beyschlag, dilute
lime sulphur, l to 80 parts of water,
ID C1lC1lIsC Dul lcdfto d IdlIltl I'LL
slightly deposit on the foliage. II
day temperatures are warm. sui
phur will help. It likewise is OBJ
jectionable on the foliage. The same
may be said of Bordeaux mixture.
Probably the most successful con-
troll will be medium or light oil
emission at about l to ll2 strength,
or one of the ammonical copper
carbotate sprays, of which there are
several on the market. Neither OF
these will leave the foliage in an
once ofammonical copper carbonate
TO gallon will be adequately strong
Nicotine sulphate at the rate of
one teaspoon to the gallon may be
used with either the oil emulsion
or the copper carbonate for the
quite prevalent in late winter A
slightly stronger nicotine spray
will give good control of thrips.
1t is much easier to maintain
control of mildew by beginning the
sprays early than it is to check the
infection when it is established.
