DOMESTIC WAFER
Water Pipe Arrives and System Will
 Soon Be In

Water pipe has been received for the domestic water system for Imperial, and it will probably not be later than July 10 when the pipes will all be in and the town will be served with do- mestic water under pressure. This system will be operated in connection with the ice plant. There has been some delay in connection with the latter, as new ice plant could not be secured for months, so great is the de- mand on the factories. A second hand plant was bought, and it has been necessary to buy a new boiler and few other parts. These are now on their way to Imperial, and some time during July the factory will be turning out ice.

masses" It is interesting to call att tention to the first prize report from a farmer in California. The land used for the purpose was worth $100 per acre. The weather was dry. It is rec commended to fall blow, and plant the seeds in January. Experience shows that it requires about five hours to blow one acre, and the work was done by contract at $2 per acre. The soil was not sudsoiled but narrowed. Ow- ing to the absence of rain, irriga tion had to be resOrted to, the water satur- ating the soil to depth of about two feet and the cost of this irrigation be- ing about 75 cents per acre. However, the cost of first irrigation and prep aration was .25 per acre. In the spec ial contest the seeding was done i'll May. Before the plantletts appeared above the ground the fields were lightly narrowed. In June the beets were ready for thinning. They were first rolled with light roller covering four rows at time, under which circun- stance the thinning is easier, good plant being left every eight inches. After hoeing, the field was irrigated second time, and another irriga tion given in August. The total cost up to harvesting was $29. g, the total ex- pense, including irrigation, etc., was $61. The return from the crop being 1892, the net profit per acre was $3O.96. The Sugar Beet.

TOO MUCH or ONE MAN

It has come about, ,in these later days, that even on Wall street tue question is being asked to what extent it is wise to submit affairs to the control of one man. A dispatch to the Los Angeles Times from New York says: .. ..,
 "At several conferences held today by men powerful in Wall street, the pos slbe results of hav wing to depend upon the judgment of any one man in res pect to such gigantic interests as are now being guarded by J. P. Morgan were seriously discussed. The object of these conferences was to safeguard not only the many enterprises with which Morgan is connected, but also to protect other financial interests in which Wall street is connected.
 "The unsatisfactory condition of the coal-strike negotiations and the undis- gused opposition of large English and German owners to Morgan's steamship combination were the prime factors which led to the conferences. No att tack on Morgan has been involved in these conferences. His pre-eminence i'll Wall street has not been questioned nor has his handling of the vast affairs committed to his charge been criticised. The entire discussion, it was pointed out last night, had turned on this point: Is it judicious and in accord with con- servative finance to have such vast in- terests bound up in any one manT

CAN SEE POODLE

year ago the President issued an order for the removal of fences from the public lands in the west. As usual, the order was not intended to apply to men of wealth inf1unce, but the small stock men have been compelled to obey it. The Montana Stockman gives the name of one U. $. senator who has 50,OO0 acres of public land inclosed and has removed no fence, and adds: "One can take the list of big fellows all through and seek in vain for any example of the efence-removing order"
 The Montana Stockman has fallen into the error that justice has not re- covered her sight, when in fact, she can "see" pile of money as readily as a poker player car "see" a pile of chips Dallas Farm and Ranch.

For New Survey

Washington dispatches say that Senator Bard has introduced a bill providing for a new survey of the I'm perial lands The inaccuracies of the old Government survey are such as to make this necessary, though it is be- lieved that new survey can be made which will dispose of the excess lands in such ways as to leave the present lines unchanged. This is in harmony with the needs of the entire valley.

BEET GROWERS CONTEST

We are plea sed to call attention to American Agriculturist's beet-grow- ing contest. The first prize was grant ed to Colorado, where the quality of beets showed that one acre of land could furnish 12,000 pounds of sugar. The average yield for the prize winners was, California 21 tons of beets per acre, Colorado P tons, Utah 20 tons, Nebra ska 13 tons. The largest yield 78,624 pounds on one acre, and the average purity of the prize winers, beets was 80 for California, 81.7 Color ado, 935 Utah, 80 Nebra ska. Average profit from the contest was $49. % Cal ifornia, $9O.72 Colorado, $47,14 Utah, $21. 56 Nebraska. 1t is pointed out 'that the better class of beet growers produced as a whole twice as many pounds per acre as the ordinary farmer. They get nearly twice as much sugar per acre as is produced under ordinary tion by prize winning methods does not average much more than ordinary culture. This means that more skill and better management result in so much better methods, that the yield per acre is heavily increa sed without ma terial increase in expense. Hence it is not surprising to find that the net pro- fit per acre by prize-win ming methods is three times as high as under Ordi- nary conditions, or in even higher pro- portions when compared with Michi- gan's results. ....".The most success full management will surely produce results or profits far above the ordi- nary. The so-called average farmer does not understand how this can be true, any more than the ordinary beet grower can understand how his neigh bor can make three times as much profit per acre as he does, but those who accomplish such results know how it is done. Agriculture generally will be elevated as rapidly as this knowl- edge becomes diffused among the

latter expressed great confidence in this valley as a producer of grain.
 "For a number of years," he said, "we have been making flour from grain produced at Casa Grande, in the Salt River valley, ,and in other sections of Arizona, and as you have at Impe- rial the same climatic conditions as Southern Arizona, there is no ques- tion that you will be able to produce the same quality of grain. If one had any doubt that would be removed by the proof you have here," and he pointed to several specimens of grain grown near Imperial.
 "There is an abundant demand in the territory for any quantity of grain you are likely to grow, and we can handle at our Tucson mill any quan- tity up to the product of 100000 acres. When you get upwards of that quan- tity you will have work for a good sized mill, and when that time comes I a mill at Imperial. There is no money in small mill, and until you have large production it would pay better to ship the grain, if favora ble railroad freight rates can be secured. There is no danger of production of wheat, and we can handle all you can produce.
 '1n my twelve years experience in dealing with farmers of Arizona have found that the wheat growers are uniformly prosperous wherever they lave ample water for irrigation." "
 With the opportunity thus opened for growing several thousand acres of grain for definite market, there is additional reason to expect an in- gress of people the coming fall, and everybody will do we'll to keep his eyes on Imperial when the railroad is completed in September.

ARIZONA MILLER WANTS
 MUCH WHEAT AND BARLEY

"What are you going to do with your crops?"
 That is question which has been hurled at every settler in Imperial valley from the time he first came on the scene.
 To most persons it has been suffic- tent to say that this valley would do as farmers every where do, sell their pro- ducts in the open markets. But there have been those who have thought that for some mysterious reason Inn perial valley would not have access to markets.
 Whatever possibility of doubt there has been in that direction has been dissipated of late by the anxiety n1an- ifested in several lines to secure the various prospective products of the valley.
 The latest demand on the valley comes from the Eagle Milling Com- pany of Tucson, Arizona. This com- pany has already arranged with the Imperial Farming and Milling Com- pany, of which H. c. Oakley is local manager, to have from 25,O00 to 3O,- 900 acres of White Australian wheat and barley sown here the coming fall for shipment to Tucson for milling purposes, the Arizona company nak- ing an agreement which promises the farmers of this section better prices than those realized by farmers in any other portion of Southern California.
 The principal owner of stock in the Eagle Milling Company is Leo Gold schmidt, and he has been in the mill ing business in Tucson for about twelve years, building up the largest milling business in the territory.
 The manager of the PRESS had a talk with MT. Goldschnidt in Los Angeles few days since, when the

HIGH WATER REACHED
Annual Rise in Colorado, With Usual
 June Overflow

spects duplication of the Nile, and this is especially the case in its an nual overflow of thousands of acres of land on the delta, the overflow land S being almost exclusively on the Mex ican side of the international line. From this overflow country the Carter and New rivers lead to the Salton sink, one passing to the east and the other to the west of Imperial.
 The overflow water covers so great all area that it is nowhere of great depth, the water being oil an average about two feet deep. From this great area there are many small swells in the land which stand out dry in time of overflow. On these hillocks the cattle which are kept on the overflow land are gathered at time of flood, after which they are given all abun- dance of feed on the rank growth of grass and weeds which spring up as soon as the water subsidies.
 It is understood by the Indians that the height of the flood is regulated by the moon, and they can, or at least think they can, fix the date of maxi mum flood exactly in advance. This is dou bted by white people until they know that to some extent the tides in the Gulf of California affect the over flow, high tide preventing water es- caping from the river into the gulf and thus forcing it back onto the level land. The maximum flood is alway reached in June, and this year it was set by the Indians for June "A They were disappointed in this, how ever, for the territory flooded has been smaller this year than for many years.
 The flood this year is not up tc that of the average year, being lowel than that of last year, and consider ably below high water mark. This i: due to the comparatively light snow fall in Wyoming and other northern States the past winter.
 The California Development Com pany has prepared to control the wa ter of the overflow season, now being able to allow 1t to escape through the Carter river at pleasure, thus pre- venting any of the flood water getting into the canals, in which case it might do some damage. As this water is never of great depth, its control pre- sents no great problem.
 It was in Egypt that it was written "Cast thy bread upon the waters: fol thou shall find it after many days"
 It is in almost literal obedience tC that injunction that George A. Garter and others have been working this year on the overflow land. The only difference is that they let the water furnish it's own seed. This it is amply equipped to do, and mum Der of people have been engaged i'll preparing fields in the overflow country in such shape that the water will have access tC large bodies of level and clear land, in the expectation that a large crop of native grasses will spring up as soon as the water subsidies, and it is be- leved that several hundred acres of hay will thus be produced.
 It is remarkable what a variety of grasses are to be found oil the over
