ing, and the fact that farmers are
branching out more and more every
year into other lines is an indication
that they are coming to realization
of this. Wheat is not the only
commodity that can be proftably
produced and marketed in the In
land Empire and there an old adage
that wisely warns us not to put all
the eggs in one basket. The farm
er who can vary his crops and fails
to do so is not getting all out of his
land that he can and should.
We boast of a sol Of "inexhaust-
ible fertility" but no soil possesses
inexhaustbile fertility California
and Oregon made the same boast III
earlier days; they know better now.
Any soil III the world will become
exhausted in time if not given a rest
or change occasionally. Diversif-
cation and rotation of crops saves
and rests the soil. Besides, it in
creases or preserves the productive
ness of the soil, thus increasing the
profits, and, furthermore it gives the
farmer more than one source of rev.
enue to depend on in case of an 'off
year" We are fortunate in the
fact that the soil is suited to va
riety of products and in the further
fact that markets are daily develop

than could be raised from the same
land had it been sown steadily in

this.
In speaking of the importance of
diversified farming in this section
of the country, President Hill at the
Davenport conference between the
farmers and three railroad presidents
said: you have got crop (wheat)

MORE FANCY IRON POSTS
CITY ENGINEER PREPARING To IN
STALL TWENTY-FIVE MORE
These Will Help to Further Decreas Sc
Network of Overhead Wires
in the Business
District.

AS soon as the ground is free from
frost, City Engineer Rundlett will com
mence the installation of the remainder
Of the fancy iron corner electric light
posts ordered by the council last year.
The scheme, which involves the con-
rection of all electric street lights with
the underground system as~ far as the
business section Of the city is concerned,
was inaugurated by Former City En-
gineer Claussen and the work was about
completed when he was retired from Of
flee.
There are still twenty-five Of the posts
on hand, and these will be put up as soon
as possible. They have materially assist
ed in bringing down the net work of wires
that cncumbers the business district, and
most of which We're the property of the
gas company and the Edison Lighting
company. The last Of their wires and
poles along Seventh street were taken
down week ago and the others will fol-
low before the summer arrives. Many
aerial wires still remain, but these also
will go if the fire department is success
full in impressing upon the council the
necessity for another ordinance enlarging
the underground district.
The board of fire commissioners is now
engaged in looking up it's authority in the
premises, and if it found that it can
abate the nuisance, will proceed to act
without delay. The board has already
been notified that it can proceed regard
ing it's fire alarm wires without any aid
from the courcil. The board wants to
sever it's relations with the telephone
companies as far as their supervision over
the alarm wires and cables are con-
cerned. The legal department says it can
and also that it may construct conduits
and lay its own wires.
