the Post-Office Department has at
last decided that the face of woman
shall adorn one of the stamps in the
Series of 1902" and named Martha
washington as the woman. this con-
clusion was reached the latter part of
last week. Some one must give way
for her, and it was decided that Cen
eral w. I. Sherman must go, and
therefore Mrs. washington will look
at US from the oval of the eight cent
stamp when completed. This change
however, does not involve the shelly
ing of the old warrior. He is to sup
plant Gen. Grant on the reply postal
card. Then Grant and Lincoln are
billed for swap, Grant to appear on
the four and Lincoln to have a place
on the five cent stamp.

The Sage of Crooked Creek has left
the following wise reflection on
record: Remember, my boy, the
good things in the world are the
cheapest. water costs less than
whis5ey; a box of cigars will buy two
or three Bibles: barrel of whiskey
costs more than a barrel of flour; a
full hand in poker often costs more in
twenty minutes than the church sub
scriptions amount to in three years; a
state election costs more than re-
vival of religion; you can sleep in
church every Sunday morning if you
are mean enough to jump your lodg-
ing, but nap in a Pullman costs So
every time; fifty cents for the circus
and penny for the little ones to put
in the missionary fund; a dollar for
the theatre and "a pair lof trousers
frayed at the end baggy at knees and
utterly busted at the dome, for the
poor; the dancing girl gets 5000
week and the city missionary 5000 a
year; the horse race scoops in $1,000
the first day and the church fair lasts
week, works twenty-five or thirty of
the best women in America to death
and comes out 80 in debt.

Imperial press and farmer., 1902-11-01

ing looks more unlike a desert than that rainless, sunbaked land as soon as it has been visited by water When the earth has been irrigated the change is simply marvellous. Rich, succulent crops spring forth from the ground as if by magic. Alfalfa, bar ley wheat, millet, sorghum, melons, semi-tropical fruits and vegetables of all kinds find hospitable element in which to thrive. Seventy-five bushels of barley to the acre, yielding from 8 to 31a tons of hay at an average price of from $10 to $15 per ton, is consid- cred fair crop. After the hay crop has been harvested the ground is sown to sorghum. The sorghum is planted in the last of May or during the month of June. Owing to the heat and water, and the warm soil, everything grows rapidly.
 Sorghum attains a height of fifteen feet in nine weeks growth. The sor- ghum crop averages between four and ten tons to the acre, worth about $6 per ton. Cotton, sugarcane and rice have been grown on small scale with success. An experimental station to test the value of varieties of fruits and vegetables has been established at Calexico.
 "This year marks really the first practical test of the great irrigation project at Imperial. Barley is bring ing $50 an acre. From five to eight crops of alfalfa are grown on one piece of ground during the year. AL falfa is selling at the present for $15 per ton. All the crop has been marketed in the community; for the number of incoming settlers with their teams and stock and those who are occupied in building the Southern
