LONDON. May s.-Prime Min
lister Chamberlain apparently is
choosing TO ride out the Storm of
opposition TO his government &C.
casioned by the Norwegian cam
paign failure. and. in spite of his
narrow victory margin in the
vote of confidence given by par
Lament yesterday. he was laying
plans today TO bolster defense
plans of the British Isle.
One pleasing note for Cham
berlain was the action taken by
the House of Commons this
morning to adjourn until May 81.
Reorganization of the cabinet
depends upon the desire of the
opposition to cooperate with pres
ent leaders, it was stated today,
but there seemed little likelihood
that that fact would be possible.
Conferences, however, were re-
ported in progress late today be-
tween members of Labor, Liberal
and Conservative parties on that
subject.
Meanwhile, diplomatic and
war fronts are comparatively
quiet today. No new reports
from North Norway came in and
Italy has apparently decided she
does not want the limelight, at
least not for awhile. Premier
MusSolini spoke to his army to-
day, but no startling declarations
were made.
King George signed a bill to-
day which made liable another
two and one-half million men for
military service.

Hoover Forecasts
Starvation Soon
Thruout Europe

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Nov. 16
tUP)-More than 100000 people
in five r-ravaged countries Of
northern Europe will reach the
acute stages of starvation during
this winter or by early spring
Herbert Hoover said in speech
at Vassar college last night.
The former president, speaking on
the subject America and the famine
in the five little democracies," call
ed upon American religious and
educational leaders to lead public
opinion to the point where it would
support his plea that the people
of this country help relieve the
burden of the oppressed peoples Of
Europe. Religious and other groups
have opposed the plan, contending
that it would defeat the British
blockade and a recent public opin-
ion poll showed majority against
such relief in this country.
The five countries listed by the
man who administered the huge
Belgian relief setup in the World
War were Finland, Holland, Nor
way, Belgium and central Poland
Mr.. Hoover said he omitted France
because of the present obscurity"
of the political and food situations
there.

FouIds Tells
Services Of
Farm Bureau

Scott B. Foulds, secretary of the
Imperial county farm bureau,
Thursday night outlined the SER
vices of the farm bureau organiza-
ton to farmers throughout the ma
ton at meeting of the Rose
Mesquite farm center.
Farm Bureau is an organization
formed and operated by the farm
ers, Foulds said, and is an organi-
zation which affords farmers ma
chine to attend to important mat
ters an individual is unable to ac-
complish.
Many times action of the farm
bureau. through its county. state
and national organization, means
the difference between success and
failure to the farm, Foulds said.
The bureau is able to act on tar
iff, taxation and freight rate ques-
tions and many times receive at
tention and consideration that
might not otherwise be obtained.
Foulds pointed to the farm bu-
reau action on the Argentine trade
agreement as an example.
The campaign to defeat the re-
ciprocal trade treaty, which would
have worked a hardship on valley
farmers, was started by Imperial
county's bureau.
In turn the state and national
bureaus went on record as oppos-
ing the pact and brought enough
pressure to force cancellation of
plans for the proposed treaty.

of crop response.
In some cases the analysis will
show a small quantity of phosphate
in the soil and a field trial will
reveal that addition OF phosphate
was unnecessary because the small
quantity available proved to be
highly soluble.
On the other hand an analysis
might indicate large quantity OF
phosphate, but a field trial would
prove that the phosphate was lock
ed up in an insoluble compound
and therefore unavailable to use OF
plants.
The only sure way to determine
the kind and amount of fertilizer
which will prove most successful,
Beyschlag said, is TO conduct tests
on trial plots and observe results.
Growers should leave untreated
plots in each trial to test results
accurately.

Roads for Defense
Need $50 Millions

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 16. UP)-
State Highway Engineer Charles H.
Purcell declared today that $780,
100000 is the minimum amount
necessary to bring California's net
work of roads and highways up to
standards required for adequate
national defense.
In contrast to this amount. only
about s20,G00,0O0 is available for
work on such a program during the
next two years, Purcell said.
The available money is even less
than usual he explained because
California's regular federal aid ap-
propriations for the next bienniun
have been reduced 25 per cent. Pre-
liminary apportionments TO states
indicate that federal road funds
will amount to only about S10,400-
900. which will be matched by ap-
proximately sS.90o0OO in state ap-
preparations.
