Section Nearly Done
An elevation of 64 feet has already been reached on the easterly section of the dam, leaving only 41 feet remaining to reach its summit of 105 feet above the river bed.
Because they were thus crowded for operations, the army engineers decided to proceed with diversion of the stream and start work across the old channel, although the schedule did not call for this work to start until May 1, Thompson said.
The old channel will first be "stripped' to provide proper foundation for the permanent "fill," which should be entirely completed by next September, according to Thompson.
Marks Milestone
Diversion of the river marks an important milestone in the 15-year campaign for flood control on the Santa Ana river. The project was originally started in 1925 when a plan was developed by J. B. Lippincott, a consulting engineer. Subsequently, other plans were drawn for dams at different locations and several bond issues were voted upon. The bond issues were defeated several times, until some three years ago, the people approved an issue of $2,500,000 for the county's share of the $15,000,-000 project to be handled by the federal government.

Secretary Marks of County Farm Bureau Talks to Business Group
Work of the four committees of the Orange county economic council was reviewed and discussed briefly by C. J. Marks, executive secretary of the Orange County Farm Bureau at the meeting of the Anaheim Merchants association this morning at the Marigold cafe.
The four committees that studied various problems and made recommendations were on water, marketing, land use and farm management and labor, Marks said.
One of the principal causes for decreased incomes for farmers, the council decided, was the fact that sizes of individual farms in the state are decreasing. In view of that, the council recommended that farm owners adopted an additional enterprise, produce more of their food necessities on the farm, increase the size of the farm if possible by purchase or lease, obtain supplementary employment, or do more of his own work on his own holdings.
Water Approved
The water committee learned that salinity of Metropolitan Water district water will be no greater than much of the water now in use for agricultural purposes in the county, Marks said. The committee is also studying the problem of saving water above Prado dam for use in the county.
Unified efforts in distributing and marketing citrus crops is the principal recommendation of the marketing committee. It also asked that crop reporting agency be requested not to make estimates until after the period of hazards is over, the speaker said.
The land use committee found that considerable marginal acreage is being used for citrus, and recommended that this land be used for other purposes, Marks reported.
The speaker did not touch upon the recommendations of the farm management and labor committee in his talk this morning.
