how the problem of advancing wa
ter tables was being met. He utiliz-
ed charts to demonstrate how strata

TO obstruct Seepage of irrigation
water from fields downward into
sand strata which will carry off the
drainage.
The district has been deepening
present drainage bitches and will
continue to do so, Dowd explained
"as part of the regular plan. In
addition, extension OF the drainage
system is vital and can now go for
ward as fast as land owners in the
areas affected will cooperate.
The program was arranged by

Dowd, asked individual Rotarians
pertinent questions relating to the
drainage subject. Only half were
properly answered.

SACRAMENTO, March % CUP)
Attorney General Earl Warren
today conferred with members of
the legislature to draft amendments
he said were needed to prevent
industrial loan companies from
charging rates of interest as high as
500 per cent per year.
Assemblyman Hugh Donnelly of
Turlock promised TO put members
of the lower house "on the spot
next week in protest to action OF
the rules committee last night in
tabling his bill which would have
required lobbyists to register their
employment, income and expendi-
lures with the secretary of state.
Gov Culbert L. Olson signed the
emergency relief bill to provide
$2,042 900 for April, May and June.

two and Kern one.
Houser predicted he had a dozen
more votes than needed to pass the
assembly and enough to clear the
senate, despite northern opposition.
Under his plan, all three new con-
gressmen would go to the south,
Warren warned legislators that
small loan laws were In precarious
situation and urged defeat of all
pending amendments to the act and
the personal property brokers act.
He cited as dangerous bills pending
to eliminate from the two laws
certain insurance companies, fish
companies, and commission mer-
chants, in addition to another bill
which would recognize state loans
made out of state.
Warren said his investigation had
uncovered certain industrial loan
companies doing all the worst things
that high raters" were doing prior
to the 1899 statutes. One practice,
he said, was renewal of loans every
two weeks, with a renewal charge
making 26 collections per year and
an interest rate of more than 500
per cent.
There are legitimate and decent
industrial loan companies Warren
emphasized, but many are evading
the law. He said one firm in Los
Angeles handling 10000 such loans
per month had been put out of
business

Imperial Valleys most important
activity today is the development o.
soil drainage.
The Imperial Irrigation District
has a total of 100 miles of drain
age bitches. of which $50 miles are
deep drains and $50 miles are later
ais
AS a result of the refunding mod
ification plan, tie way IS being
cleared for a complete and effec-
tive extension OF the districts drain
age system.
This will total about 40 miles ad-
ditional deep drains and $50 miles
of laterals.
The only serious difficulty en-
countered in development of the
drainage program is refusal OF
rights-of- way for drainage bitches
from farmers who don't believe in
drainage, and obtaining credit for
private land drainage by individual
farmers.

Citrus PROBATE
Act Upheld in U. S.
District Court

Les ANGELES, Mar. % CUP)-
Federal Judge Harry Hollzer to-
day upheld the validity of the fed
eral pro-rate act governing the
quantity of oranges and grapefruit
shipped in interstate commerce.
He issued temporary order re-
straining seven fruit growing or
distributing organizations in Cali
fornia and ARIZONA from violating
pro-rate quotas set under the act.
The ruling was made in an ac-
ton brought by the federal gov
eminent against Frank Belmont,
Green and Gold Groves, Pioneer
Citrus Distributors, Orange Belt
Fruit Distributors, Associated Ana
helm Growers. United Citrus Grow
ers. and California Fruit Distribu-
tors.
The defendants were accused of
violating provisions of the act by
failing to observe the orders OF the
marketing committee regarding
shipment of citrus fruit.
Defendant organizations contend
ed that an insufficient number OF
growers had acouiesced in the pro-
rate provisions. However, Judge
Hollzer held that they had failed
10 prove this contention. He said
it appeared that a majority OF
citrus growers favored the act.
Judge Hollzer's temporary in
junction ordered the growers and
distributors to obey the marketing
committees orders. He said 1t
would remain in effect at least un-
I'll the defendants produced suffici-
ent evidence to prove their conten-
ton that the order was discrinl-
natory.

Co. Agent Urges Formers
To Save Lespedezo Seed

One of the biggest farm expense
undergone each year by farmers OF
Holmes County is the purchase of
various farm seed, such as, cotton,
corn, beans, peas, lespedeza, etc.
There is no good reason why far
mers should need to purchase but a
small amount of their seed needs
each year.
A number of farmers of Holmes
County last year saved approximate
iy 100000 pounds of lespedeza seed.
The amount of this seed sold brought
the producer a record high price. 1t
is reasonable to believe that a high
price will be offered again this year
for lespedeza seed.
Average common lespedeza should
easily produce 200 to 800 pound of
seed per acre. At Is cents a pound
you can readily see how profitable
this crop is.
Make your plans to save some
lespedeza seed this fall.
l w. Carson, County Agent.
