We don't think it is expecting too
much Of a governor to know when an $50
100000 project has been completed and
placed in operation in his state. When
the governor hinted in his message TO
WPB Chairman Nelson that Imperial
Valley farmers have not sufficient water
to grow d maximum Of crops, he revealed
what seems to be almost complete lEnof-
ance Of the fact that the All American
canals main branch, which feeds lmpe-
rial Valley. is completed. He certainly
revealed ignorance Of the fact that We Ve
got not only enough water for our own
needs. but enough left over TO serve
metropolitan San Diego if that were nee
essary.
We don't want to seem to be taking the
governor 10 task for his well-ntentioned
effort The point is that Imperial Val
