The project backers feel that with drainage and irri gation together, farm sites" will be available for at least 25.000 more families, who with 40-acre farms, . even though only. 50 to 0 per eent of the 40 acres is irrigated, will succeed as well as ! today's farmers who work 160 acres of non-irrigated lands. Irrigation would afford a suf ficient and dependable volume of 1 crops : annually and reduce the worry wrinkles for a lot of farm ers, when drouth comes along at vital crop growing periods. And another factor, of course,' is that farmers can produce better crops and those crops which best lend themselves to market. The state planning board esti mates that by 1950, oh basis of the' increase from 1920 to 1930, the valley population will be swelled to 850,000 ;ersoi ;.

There may not be much of it, but it will be good while it lasts. The Galento camp has an nounced it will ask that Arthur Donovan, No. 1 New York referee, be named to officiate, and today the suggestion was approved, con firmed and heartily countersigned by the brown bombing champion himself. This could mean but one thing that Galento, who Just loves to rough things up, and Louis, who can when he has to, are antici pating nothing less than a knock down, drag-out affair in their 15- round bout for the heavyweight title. When Galento fought Arturo Bodoy some time back, all sorts of tactics not endorsed by the books gouging, elbowing and butting were brought into ue. Donovan took the attitude that if the boys didn't mind, neither did he. Joe Jacobs referred to this fight in letting it be known he would ask for Donovan in next week's bout. Louis, who does most of bis talking with his fists, opened up long enough today to say; "Dono van suits me fine. If Galento wants to rough It, we'll rough it. Don't forget I was once an ioe man, too." Olinger Swim Pool Is to Open Today Olinger swimming pool, re plete with a fresh coat of paint, filled with city water for the first time since its installation, and with accoutering bathhouses renovated, will open tor the summer season this morning at 10 o'clock.
