Valley Requires Defense Against
Pests To Safeguard Agriculture,
EI Centro Rotarians Informed

What about Imperial Valley agri-
culture?
Answers to this question COM
prised the theme of the program
placed before the Ell Centro Rotary
club Thursday by Frank BeySchlag,
farm adviser, his assistant George
Winright, and B. A. Harrigan, coun-
ty agriculture commissioner.
Meeting at the Barbara Worth
hotel in their weekly MONDAY
luncheon, Rotarians demonstrated
keen interest, whetted by the recent
revelation that Imperial county suf-
fered a drop in population since
1890, and the dark showing made
in many fields of agriculture thus
far this year.
Harrigan opened the discussion
with comments on a selected list of
crops offering serious problems.
CantaloupeS as major crop face
a dark future, he said, unless the
mildeW and marketing problems are
overcome. The recent crop of ASS
was almost a complete failure, he
said, and a new melon must be de-
veloped of proper resistance, yet
with good body and flavor.
Steps are being taken toward this
end, he explained, in the form Of
the raising of approximately $4,000
for experimental and development
purposes. An experimental tract
near Brawley will be the expert

Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace, an Iowa New Dealer, was
nominated for vice president by Mr..

ond demonstration of Mr.. Roose-
velt's power over the Democratic
national convention which conven-
ed here at noon Monday and ad-
journed sine die at 2:05 a. m. EDIT
today.
The party purge was almost COM
pletcd early today when Wallace
was substituted for Vice President
John N. Garner who ran with the
winning ticket in 1882 and 1886.
1t was a roWdy wind up to four
days of stop and 90 politics in which

The galleries clamored and there
we're shouts and boos from the
floor last night and today as the
constructing pressure of White Hocse
influence forced the convention
steadily toward Wallace, a Ropubli-

The campaign is on between the
Roosevelt Wallace ticket ratified
here and Republican Presidential
Candidate Wendell L. Willkie and
his running mate, Sen. Charles L..

New Deal VS.. Critic
Tt is the New Deal VS.. the most
articulate and adverse critic of the
Roosevelt administration that buSi-
ness has produced.
Whether this convention draft
ed" Mr.. Roosevelt or was stage
managed" into nominating him is
matter of some dispute. There are
conservatives here who believe the
latter.
Had this been a free and open
convention" said Sen. Scott Lucas
D.. H.. last night in asking that
his name be withdrawn from tho
list of vice presidential contestal/j.
There were others who felt that
way about it, too.
The oppositlor had the boos but
not the votes to stop Wallace Time
after time his nominator and those
who seconded his nomination or
shouted a defiant determination to
vote for Mr.. R.oosevelt's man, we're
washed with a flood of derision,
some of which came from the floor
where the votes are. Wallace sat
through it all clutching the speech
of acceptance which never was de-
livered. Mr.. Roosevelt needed the
minutes Wallace would have requlr-
I'd so the number two man of The
third New Deal still has his speech
to deliver.
Conference room and platform le-
bellionS blazed through the after
noon and early evening. But Wal

Roosevelt sent word that he would
address the convention at 9 p. m,

CHICAGO, July 10. (UP)
james A. Farley today ac-
cepted a four-week third
term as chairman of the
Democratic national COM
mittee, and predicted victory for
the Roosevelt Wallace ticket in No
vember.
Farley said he would retire Aug,
II and that a five member subcom-
mittee headed by Edward j. Flynn
of New York would appoint his
successor after comforting with
President Roosevelt and Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace.
Mr.. Roosevelt was reported to
desire Sen. James F. Byrnes of
South Carolina or Frank c. Walk
er of New York as FarleyS successor
but both men were said to be re-
luctant to accept the post.
Farley said that Mr.. Roosevelt
had asked him to remain as chair
man for the third term campaign
but that he had been unable to
accede to the request for financial
reasons.
Farley said his personal financial
situation made it advisable for him
to accept IAN attractive offer in
business"
