MELOLAND PROJECT
One of the most interesting feat
ures of the conference Eric ay was
introduced by Sam Robinson, rep
reSenting the committee delegated
to lock after the interests of the
Meloland agricultural experiment
station.
This station is the step-child of
the Davis agricultural college, Rob-
inSon said, and is too important
and has done too much valuable
work to be showed into the back
ground every time the University
ol California gets a big allotment
for experiment stations in the state.
The Meloland experiment station
in Imperial county was not even
mentioned in the recent division of
$24,0)0,000 apportioned to the uni
versity.
We want this committee to do
something about it. We want to
expand the size of the station: we
want to increase the acreage; we
want to increase the personnel; We
want to be on a permanent basis
and not have to fight every year
to get what we barely need to keep
going Robinson said it cost around
$4,000 a year to keep the station
going under the present meager
conditions and pointed out that some
of the buildings there are 80 years
cid and new ones are needed. All
the senators present promised to
help the station.

want to have training school for
farmers at the Meloland station so
