Grasshopper hordes, which ap-

sion of valley alfalfa fields, B. "A.
Harrigan, county agriculture COM
missioner, reported Wednesday.
While infestations were lighter
than the spring invasion in all SEQ
tions of Imperial Valley, Harrigan
urged farmers to obtain poison bran
to combat the pest.
In alfalfa fields that are now
idle, action should be taken to ex-
terminate the pests, Harrigan said,
because failure to spread poison
bran now will increase the spring
infestation..
Bran may be obtained at the ag-
ricultural comrs issioner headquar-
ters in the county court house at no
cost to growers. Government agen-
cies furnish materials for the bran
and the local office mixes the bran.
Harrigan said.
Bran should be spread In tho

the evening, Harrigan concluded.

pointment and anxiety at the deci-
sion reached by senate Democratic
and Republican leaders at White
House conference last night to de-
lay neutrality action until next ses-
sion.
II am certainly glad of one thing"
said Early, from the time OF adj
journment until January when con-
gress meets again the president will
pray as never before in all his life
that there will be no new crisis in
Europe"
But, Early said, information re-
ceived at the White House indicates
that chances are none too good that
the world will escape another crisis
in the next few months. The infor-
nation, he said, indicates the pos
sibility that there may be new
European flare-up this summer.
The White House expressed
doubt, however, that Mr.. Roosevelt
would take occasion to carry the
question of neutrality revision to
the country during the course OF
his forthcoming trip to the Pacific
coast.
On the question of taking the is
sue to the voters, Sen. Hiram john
son, r., Calf, veteran senatorial
isolationist,, declared today that
should he determine upon such a
course he could count upon the op-
position matching him step for step.
"If he does take it to the country"
snapped Johnson, I'VE will go too.
upon the slogan that this country
wants no war"
Soon after the conference began
in the presidents study in the ex-
ecutive mansion, it was said, the
participants told Mr.. Roosevelt that
his neutrality bill, embodying repeal
of the existing arms embargo, could
not be acted upon at this session
Garner was quoted as telling him.
I'VE might just as well be candid
about this, Captain, you haven't
got the votes
With neutrality disposed of, con-
gress faced only one major obsta-
Gle to quick adjournment-the So

The judge ordered attorneys to
submit briefs arguing legal points.
and indicated he may call them
back after study of the briefs II
he then desires further oral argu-
ment. The order indicated lapse OF
from six weeks to three months be-
fore ruling is handed down on the
districts request for decision vail
dating the refunding agreement.
Chief Counsel Harry w. Horton
announced at the end of yesterdays
court session that all district evil
dence had been submitted. Un-
friendly bondholders, representing
not more than 20 per cent of the
district security holders, opened up
this morning with testimony at
tempting to establish priority rights
to payment of principal and inter-
est coupons.
Opposition to the program is bas-
ed upon several contentious:
l, That the plan deprives some
bondholders of what they claim are
first rights to payment out OF dis
trict funds.
2. That it fails to recognize
power revenue as an asset in as
certaining the ability of the district
to meet its bonded debt. CThe dis
trict argues that power revenue is
required by a contract with the ..
S. government to be paid solely to-
ward defraying cost of the All AM
erican canal.)
3. That the district has shown
bad faith in not attempting to meet
payments due since 1882.
4. That the plan requires bond
holders to give up interest they
believe due them. CA majority of
bondholders have agreed to do this.)
In direct contrast to these claims
was the evidence presented by the
district before its case was rested
Yesterday afternoon.
In documents and testimony, the
district set forth the refunding pro-
gram which would fix tax ceiling
for protection of district taxpayers,
provide 100000 for drainage work
in the immediate future and an es-
timated slOOO,OOO from sales of tax
deed lands, and reduce interest
rates on district securities by a total
