PROFIT IN DIARIES

For some years Imperial will draw lessons from the Salt River Valley, Arizona, where farming has been con- ducted for years under conditions sin1- liar to those existing here. Gordon H. True of the Arizona experiment station has issued bulletin giving the results of studies of the dairy industry in that valley. He kept a record of the value of the output of 58 dairy herds for the year ended with October, 1900, and found that 42 herds yielded more than $32 per COW, the estimated cost of feed and care during that year of partial drought, while 16 herds fell below the cost point. The total range of returns was from $13.28 per COW a year to $54.8O, and this great range of returns he attributed to the character of the stock kept. This illustrates most forcibly the need for securing only good dairy stock by those who wish to engage in the dairy business. One hundred cheap COWS can drive a man into bankruptcy while one good cow can keep the wolf from the door.
 About the lowest estimate made by Arizona alfalfa growers is that an acre will support three head of stock. Forty acres devoted to dairying can safely be depended on to support 100 cows, and deducting $12 a head for care and milking, according to the Arizona ex- perience, 100 COWS will yield revenue of iron SIPS to 4,28O year, accord ing to the value of the cows, no allow ance being made for the value of feed grown on the place.

WORKING FOR RAILROAD

About the first thought that occurs to any person viewing the Imperial tract and noting the great develop ment work in progress is the need of a railroad. That railroad will come in the near future seems certainty, but the requirement of the times to hasten the building of the road is that every man having an interest in the valley should do his utmost to secure the road.
 Two railroad projects are already under consideration. One of these provides for a road from Calexico through Paringa, Imperial and Ranch erita to a junction with the Southern Pacific, with a branch through East side, thus leading on to Los Angeles. The othor is the projected San Diego and Eastern railroad.
 The latter may be built. It is a large enterprise. The former must and will be built, because it is not a gigantic undertaking, and because the interests of the Imperial settlements demand imperatively close communi- cation with the metropolis of Southern California.
 Just what step will be taken to se- cure the construction of the Los An geles, Imperial and Arizona railroad remains to be seen, but whatever the line of action, there ought to be unan- unity on the part of all those interest ed in the Imperial lands, and equally on the part of all those in Los Angeles who are interested in establishing close communication with country which will be tributary to that city.

ADVANCING NORTHWARD

By steady stages the work of con- structing the main canal and 1aterals is advancing to the northward, and within short time the center of activ- ity will be at Imperial, instead of Cal exico. The main office of the survey ors will probably not be moved, but the field corps and the construction camps will soon be in this vicinity.
 At present there are four camps of the construction force on the main ca nal, one in Mexico, Masten's camp at the big bend of the canal, Forrester's camp with the big ditcher and another camp still nearer Imperial.
 Within few days camp will be established for digging the main later al. to pass east of Imperial.
 Heretofore most of the land under irrigation has been at the southern end of the tract, but the amount of land in the immediate vicinity of I'm perial subject to irrigation will make rapid strides hereafter.

Telephone System

The telephone system put in by w.. F. Holt, which has been great advan- tage in the development of the Impe- rial tract is to be extended and much improved. At present there are but four telephones on the line, one each at Calexico, Imperial, Flowingwell and Iris A number of farmers living along the line have been anxious to to be made. A. G. Walin of Los Angeles, an expert electrician, has taken charge of the line and will make many improvements, developing the system with the general growth of the colony.

Mules Brought In

A. w. Patton has brought in two ments, including a large disk gang twelve mules and three wagons, looks like business. 1t is also understood that Lathrop & Carter of Pomona are about to send in sixty horses and mules for hauling lumber from Flowingwell to the various canals and laterals of the system. McKim & Hart of Pomo- ma, who recently brought ill a large force of teams, have begun work on the main lateral leading to their lands on the Salton, east of Imperial. MT. McKim has 72O acres and MT. Hart 16O acres, which will be put under cultiva- tion as rapidly as possible on the arri- val of water.

RoCkyford Melons

T. P. Banta, who is doing a vast amount of good for the Imperial settle ments by testing the ground for var ious crops on his model farm, has had experience with the Rockyford canta- lope before coming here as we'll as on his Imperial farm. He estimates that they can be grown and crated for 30 cents crate, holding 48 melons. There ought to be vast demand for these cantalopes early in the spring as soon as the railroad is built for much better price, from the Eastern as we'll as the Coast markets.

Sowing Alfalfa

It seems to be the sentiment of the Arizona people that February is the best month in which to SOW alfalfa where there is an abundance of water, as it will then grow steadily without interruption by frost. Where water is scarce it is thought best to SOW early, that the plants can get longer chance at moisture. For that reason, they have been accustomed to SOW early in their old home, but will here sow late.

The leveIers

The level corps of the surveyors was in Imperial Monday night again, hav- ing made run from Ca1exico. These men, under D. l.. Russell, are kept rushing these days under the pressure of the construction force, the latter crowding the ditches ahead with great rapidity. There has never been a time when greater activity prevailed in spreading the water over the Inpe- rial lands than at present, and as a re- suit, thousands of acres will for tue first time be under water during the next few weeks.
 There are scores of land claimants who are anxious to come to their lands as soon as water is within reach of them, and who will be f1ocking in during the next ninty days.
 This means that the level party will be kept on the jump for three months at least.

Lumber For Canals

One of the greatest tasks the Calif- orria Development company now has facing it is getting ill the drops and gates in the various canals and later als. A large amount of lumber has already accumulated at Flowingwell, and contracts have been let for hauling it, while the carpenter force necessary for the great amount of work to be done has been organized. Teams hauling lumber will soon be more nu- merous, though number are now at work.

Desert Telephone

Referring to the Imperial telephone system, the Redlands Citrograph says: ''The line runs from F1owingwel1 to Ca1exico, connecting the whole bunch of desert towns, Imperial, Iris and Cameron Lake with F1owingwell. To think of towns down on the desert is a hard shock to old-timers, but com plete telephone system give us air, please, so we can get our breath!"

Business Blocks

The adobe business building being erected in Calexico for the Imperial Mercantile company is approaching completion, and will be an ornament to that town. The same company will soon put up similar building on the northwest corner of Eighth street and Imperial avenue, in Imperial, and will later build at Paringa.

DitChing Machine

The ditcher, which was first set at work near Calexico, has cut it's way through to a point about eight miles southwest of Imperial, and is said to be a complete success. As drawn along, the machine blows the ground and a conveyor carries the dirt to the bank of the ditch. Sixteen horses are required to draw it.

Domestic Water

One of the questions which will be presented for solution in the near fu- ture is that of domestic water for the towns. The lands in the townsites have water rights like those of agricul- tura1 lands, and eventually it will be necessary to establish water systems, with water under pressure.
