Water transfers eyed as 25 percent of wheat needs water
Farmers and orchardists met at the farm bureau offices to discuss water shortages. J C Wheelon of the canal company said about 25 percent of the 100000 acres of wheat had matured and transfers could help. The river was falling eight second feet daily and conditions may not improve for a month or more. A single transfer offer emerged, and plans to use the bureau as a water clearing house were approved. Fruit prospects were said to be very good this year with an offer of 36000 for 60 acres of apples.
