Protecting the Streets

X great deal of annoyance has been caused during the last two weeks by water getting into the streets and ere ating great mud holes. There is as vet all absence of means for handling waste water, and many irrigators are not as careful as they might be.
 One of the worst places yet devel- oped is three miles north of Imperial. in the barranca which catches the waste water from Dahlia lateral. Steps were taken this week to bridge the barranca.
 Other places which seem to be in bad luck are west Eighth street and Imperial avenue, just south of the town ditch.
 Just at this time two things seem to be highly desirable: Boundless pa tience and great care in handling ir- rigation water

New Hay Selling

IL is highly encouraging 10 every body to see loads of new hay beiug hauled about the valley. This is prob ably the only place in California where new hay was being marketed in the first half of April, and yet the yield of these early fields has been immense. Thus far but thirty acres have been cut. ten acres by Thomas Beach and twenty acres by A. I, Plath. But there are other fields which will be harvested very soon. and within two weeks probably the sound of the moving machine will be heard from the streets of Imperial The magnificent crop grown by w. A. Edgar is almost ready for the harvest. Not only was barley sown during seven months, but the harvest will continue through three months. There is a general feeling that the very late grain will not do so we'll as that sown early. but late sowing isan experiment. which leaves room for everybody to learn by watching developments. Thus far all the grain is doing splen- didly.
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-04-19
Farmers Prediction

The luxuriance of the grain fields of Southern California has not been equaled in many years and perhaps never eNcelled. With no extreme heat or desiccating winds since the grain began to grow, with seasonable rains and soil which has enjoyed a rest dur ing the four or five dry years preced- ing the conditions for heavy yield of cereals are ideal. This leads the farmers to predict all unprecedented crop of barley and wheat, as last sea son was good one for hay, and this year d minimum acreage will be cut for that purpose. While the even temperature of the winter has delayed deciduous fruits and belated many other crops, it has had the opposite effect upon the grains. Again, an un- usually heavy area of land has been planted, promising, when the harvest is over, a record breaking crop of a high quality and of much profit to the grain men, who have been disappointed in previous years.

Nearly lI,OOO Acres

On Wednesday the contracts for beet planting for the Chino factory covered l0,700 acres, and Manager Schroeder said there were at least 200 acres more yet to be signed. The total will close ly approach the II ,0O0 acre mark. This will be some 1000 acres more than has ever before been raised for this factory. Up to last Saturday night there were planted 0, 500 acres. Last week there were 2000 acres planted If the weather continues fair the next two weeks will see the bulk of the planting done. Scattering pieces of moist land will not be planted until a week or two later.-Chino Champion.
 An Oxnard correspondent writes to the Los Angeles Herald: It is esti- mated that by tonight fully 1000 acres of the beets will be in the ground, which will leave but little over 1000 acres more to plant Of these 17,0C0 acres, 6OO0 acres are already up and growing as fast as beets can grow. By the end of next week over 5000 acres will be thinned.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST


 Beauty and the other Beast. They were begotten by the heat of the sum mer and the rushing torrents of the river. They were rocked in rough cradle by west winds and lulled tc slumber by the soft zephyrs that crept up from the Gulf of California. The playthings of the Beauty were the birds of song and the birds of the waters. The playthings of the Beast were creeping insects and cowardly quadrupeds.
 They were as unlike as two beings we'll could be, in nature as well as looks. In the one was all that appeals to the sense of beauty; in the other all that is repulsive in nature, and yet they clung to each other as inseperable companions, while century trod on the heels of century and time became an old and decrepit thing.
 The Beauty did not know that the Beast was ugly. The Beast did not know that the Beauty was its antipode, They had been close companions for so great a period that each had neg lected to note the contrast in their be- ings.
 And when centuries had passed, there came to them wild men, who be- came their associates, but the wild men were dull of comprehension, and they knew not that one was Beauty and the other a Beast. They knew only that this twin was thing and that twin different kind of thing.
 More centuries passed. and there came a Man who could see. And the Beast persecuted him. He caught the heat of the sun, and with develsh ingenuity he wrought therefrom all manner of instruments of torture. He drove the Man on and on and on in be- wildering course until he era wled upon feet again, and fled with maddened brain he knew and cared not whither, and the Beast, the desert, smiled in hideous, deveish enjoyment at the agony of the helpless Man.
 Unwittingly the crazed Man came upon the Beauty, the lake. He plunged within it's cooling waters, and the fantacies of his delirious brain were banished. His feverish body was soothed. He came forth from the water then and gazed upon one of na- lures greatest revelations of beauty. About the limpid waters was a wreath of dainty green formed of mesquite trees. The water was mirror. which reflected not only the green of it's own garnishment, but the rows of stately mountains which fenced in the valley, and whose subdued tones wrought upon the face of the water a poem of color. A thousand song birds were pouring forth their melodies from the trees, and scores of water fowls were sailing in contentment upon the placid lake.

BATTLE OF THt BETS

with the growth of sugar beets in I'm perial valley and their soil expert de this irrigation system, making due al lowauce for rotation of crops and other industries, to supply ten such factories as that at ONuard, the beet sugar industry must awaken great in terest here. Regarding the industry the Los Angeles Times says:
 "The battle of the beets is not yet over, at Washington. This appar- eutly unimportant question has come nearer to arousing serious differences of opinion in the Republican party than anything else that has happened for several years past. We say, ad. visedly, apparently unimpor,amt. be cause, in reality, it is by no means all unimportaut question-this question of American beet-sugar industry.
 1.-Two years ago, during single ifs cal year, American exporters sold iu foreign countries wheat to the amour, of S7S.0, O.CO0, corn to the amount of SS5, GOO, ,OO0. beef to the amount of S+2, 900, ,000, and hog products amounting to SIP. 2.000.0OO. In the same year American merchants paid S100, ,o50,00t to foreign dealers for sugar. d large portion of which went to the beet growers of France, Germany and abroad more money for sugar than for any other one article. The combined cost of our importations of coffee, tea aud manufactured silk is less than our sugar bill. Here is all extract from a report on this subject, made about a year ago:
 It required every pound of wheat and flour exported by the United States to pay for the sugar imported. The total value of all live and dressed beef, beef product and lard exported during the past year barely equaled the amount paid for imported sugar Our immense export trade in cotton represents in value only twice as much as our imports of sugar. Our vast exports of tobacco must be magnified thrice to counterbalance our sugar imports. The barley, oats and rye, fruits and nuts, hops. vegetable oils, oleomargarine, butter and cheese, pork and beans, that were exported last year altogether represent in value only two-thirds of the sugar imported.
 "The sugar consumption of the United States is estimated at 2,2l9,OOO tons. It is estimated that we shall manufacture this year 27+,000 tons of cane sugar and 100000 tons of beet sugar. The balance is imported at d cost of $1OO, ,000. 900 per annum. As d writer in Guuton's Magazine says:
 If this sugar were manufactured tory hands and still larger number of farm hands. It would help the tenant farmer and offer an opportunity to the man with small means. It would increase railroad traffic. It would employ domestic capital and retain the $1O0, ,OOO, ,0O0 at home which now goes to foreign merchants. It would stimu- late inventions, encourage the educa- tion of sugar engineers and enlarge the fabricatio of machinery
