FOR SALE BY Platte Valley Airs Protests to Tri-County Farmers Assert Lowering of River Would Hurt Crops, At Hear-. ing Before Tilley. Lincoln, Sept. 30. Eight Platte river valley farmers Monday told State Engineer A. C. Tilley at a hear ing on protests against the Tri-coun-ty Power and Irrigation district's ap plication for water rights that the valley's sub-surface water level has lowered in recent years. As a result, they said, crops are not assured and farmers are having difficulties in an area where years ago sub-surface water provided suffi cient moisture. The hearing will continue Tues day but Tilley decided not more than 10 witnesses will be called by either side. Farmers Protest. Farmers, irrigators, ditch com panies, irrigation districts and other groups are opposing the granting of Platte river water rights to the tri county project, which last week was given a 10 million dollar federal al lotment. Fred J. Hagge told of good crops on his land years ago and said they yere due to sub-surface water, but since the Pathfinder dam was built in Wyoming th?e Platte valley water level has lowered and moisture is in adequate. He is president of the Hall County Farmers union. His brother, William A. Hagge, said crop failures in the last 10 years were due to less water in the river. Well Levels ' Drop. Emil btolley, who has farmed a Platte velley tract near Grand Island 70 years, said seepage from the stream assures a crop if sub-irriga tion is available at the proper time. He also said he had good crops until the last 10 or 12 years. Last year, he said, the water level in his wells dropped two or three feet and the river remained dry 200 days. Paul Good, attorney for the tri- county project, attempted to show pump irrigation has aided in reducing the sub-surface water level. The wit nesses opposed taking any water from the Platte river for the tri county project. Other witnesses included Hans II. Gulzok, Hall county; Arthur C. Den man, Hall county; James Kunz, Wood River; Walter S. Ashton, Shelton, and Thomas Lewis, Kearney. Kunz said he knew a lot of water is being pumped out of the Platte river and that the water level drops during the pumping season. Lewis had prepared some charts to back up his claims of a lower water level. More than 100 persons attended the hearing in the house of repre sentatives chamber. DIAMONDS IN DEMAND London, Sept. 29.

The Anglo-Ital-I ian payments agreement thru which British firms are supposed to receive payment for goods supplied to Italy, i3 not working well, and some quar ters are calling for official action to speed it up. The- main provision was that Italian importers of British goods were compelled .to discharge their debts by making payment in lire into an official Italian clearing account. British importers of Italian godos were invited, but not compell ed, to make payment in sterling into a special clearing account at the Bank of England, and the sterling in that account was to be used for discharg ing the debts dut to British exporters in respect of the lira payments made by Italian importers into their clear ing account.
