II Tons Poison Bait Distributed In |. v.
In Week to Combat Hopper Invasion
Farmers Respond
ToConmissioner's S
Recommendation

A response of Imperial Valley
farmers to B. A. Harrigan's rec
ommendation that they spread
poison bait to combat the annual
summer invasion of grasshoppers
resulted in the distribution of $4,000
pounds of poison during the past
week, the agricultural commiSs-
toner's staff reported Saturday.
HarriganS recommendation fol-
lowed a survey which revealed that
farmers who planned to leave al
fafa land idle for the remainder
of the summer were taking no
steps to combat the pests.
The agricultural commissioner
however, reminded farmers that
failure to exterminate the pests at
this time would result in the largest
hatch of hoppers in history next
spring with a correspondingly record
loss to alfalfa growers,
Infestations of grasshoppesr were
reported in all sections of the valley
with heaviest infestations in the
northend
Harrigan urged continuance of the
present campaign to exterminate
the pests and reiterated there was
sufficient poison on hand to ex-
terminate every grasshopper in I'M
perjal Valley.
The $4,000 pounds issued during
the past week, Harrigan said, was
sufficient to spread poison over
nearly 1900 acres.

MANILA. Aug. II fUP)-Maria
Mary Heart Rafael dropped into
a sleep tonight from which physi-
clans feared she would not awake.
The five-day old child who was
born with her heart outside the
body was suffering from bronchial
pneumonia and her condition was
termed most dangerous.
DR.. Guillermo Del Castillo said
that only a miracle" would enable
the infant to survive in its present
condition. Her mother. Mrs. Sac
ramento de Rafael had not been
informed of the baby's condition
although her father, Arturo. was
told and remained at the chids
bedside.

Contractors Forecast
BusV Autumn Season
Predictions Made
In Face of Annual
August Slump

In the throes of the annual
August building slump FL Centro
contractors and building firms
struck a confident note in pre-
oictions of fall activity Saturday
when they forecast that more
hsrnes would be built in October.
November and December than for
the same month period last year
The predictions came in the face
Of the fact that more money was
spent in home construction in El
Centre last year than ever before
and that more houses were built in
1888 than in any previous year
since 1929.
Hugh Latham manager of Build
ers Supply, said I think the au-
.umn building season will be the
busiest ever experienced in El
Centro. Lots are cheap. a pros
pective builder can obtain an FHA
loan that will carry the biggest
portion of the expenditure
Other building firm managers
were equally as confident that the
1All season would be the best in
home building history in FL Centre.
1t was pointed out that FL Cen
trans were constructing a better
class of homes than in the previous
years BY one builder, who said:
Average cost of homes built in
the early days of building activity
amounted to only $500. Now the
average home is worth more than
$1,000,
