Shortage of Hay

Through a considerable part of Southern California the crop reports indicate shortage of late crops of grain, cool and dry weather having com bined to retard growth. Early grain in most sections is making a fair crop. There will be little grain threshed and grain hay promises to be of short supply.
 In this valley all grain sown in any thing like the sowing season and properly irrigated has grown to great proportions, but that which was sown iii March and April Win probably be short crop, the seed having been put in the ground too late for it to reach maturity before the ripening season.

One of the Mysteries

Why is it that oats, not considered one of the desirable crops through California, are Here making most phe- nonenal growtlra When a few people began sowing oats here there were many smiles of foincredtlity, because the crop is generally condemned throughthe State, but the fact must be recorded that better crops of oats were never grown in any land than are being produced at t4iImperial,5 and !; oat hay, one of the best of stock feeds, will undoubt edly be one of .the staple products of the valley froln this time -Ou. --t yas fr a~r a,t. 7yr

[ Bridging New River

County Surveyor $. l.. Ward and Supervisor Jasper will leave next week for the desert. They will make an ex- animation and survey of new roads to be constructed in the New river coun- try, and also bridge over the New river. The annual overflow of the Colorado river always happens about the middle of June, and it is the inten- ton of the supervisors to construct the bridge before that time, as otherwise the people will be obliged to stay at home until the river subsidies, San Diegan-Sun.

EXPERIMENT FARM WORK

iment station established by the Cal
 fornia Development Company at Ga
 exico is doing splendid work for th valley. D. Nicoll, who is in charge c the farny has already, demonstrate several points which are of gres value to the valley, and is"now work ing out other problems. ''t
 The most in1portant'pohat thus ia worked out is regarding sugar beets of which there are two acres with tw varieties of as beatttft,l a growth a one could ask. 1.-The tops now almos cover the ground, having. a most viz orous appearaiice, while the beets ar' now from two ana half to thre, inches in diam ter.' As the beet doe' not want to get too large, MT. Nicol has written to the Oxnards for advic, regarding further irrigation. Tn, beets were sown February '13; consid erably laterithan was necessary, anC will thus not be %f fair test of tho length of the season here, but they arc expected to demonstrate the adapt a bil ity of the soil to2bee@ growing. Oi course it will not be until the beets arc ripe and have been subj eeted to tests at the Oxnard factory thatH the per centage and purity of sugar can be determined. Bat while yet green the beets are very sweet and old beet growers &who have examined them speak highly in their praise.
 The sugar cane>1cuttings recently received from Hawaii have beer plant ed ,sand they, too, will receive careful attention to- ascertain the adapt d bility of the country to the pro duction of cane sugar! Tests in other parts of California have never beer successful, for. tahhough the cane grows vigorously, it does not develop sugar value. This may be due to one of two causes, lack ofshii1nidity or lacl of sufficient time tos,nlature. Sugar cane requires not so 5nIuchnextreme heat as duration,of the warm sea son In Hawaii, where it is never hot ol cold, 1t requires twenty months to ma ture crop. Tn Louisiana, with six or seven months of warm weather, the crop is not usually fully natured, the tops of the stalks failing to ripen. In Imperial we have the longest summer heat in the United States, exceeding that of other portions of California by about twelve weeks, and Louisiana by about seven or eight weeks. H It is not believed that S reat humidity is essen tial to the production of}sugar, but if it should prove to be, this is not a su- gar cane country. Otherwise, there is reason to believe that cane will do splendidly here, maturing -eveir better than in Louisiana.
 Upon,the tests of sugar beets and sugar cane great deal depends, for though there are many cultures which are known to thrive here, there is proba bly no other culture which would develop the valley on a solid basis so rapidly as those producing sugar, giving employment to d great army of men on the farms and another army in the factories.
 Another culture which MT. Nicoll is devoting cons iderabe attention 10,

RAILROAD INCORPORATION

last week of the San Diego Easteri Railway Company, with capital stocl of $5,OOO,O0O, divided into 5O,OOO shares of the par value of $lOO each. Of thi. $2l7,00O has been subscribed by the di rectors, George w. Marston, U. $ Grant, H. P. Wood, Charles N. Clark John E.. Boal, l.. l.. Boone and E. S. Babcock, each taking BIO shares. There is actually subscribed 5000 for each mile of the contemplated work. There has been actually paid to the newly. elected treasurer, Charles N. Clark $21, 700. The directorate was made uI hastily at the last moment, and it is understood that there will be a few changes soon, representing greater capital.
 The purposes IS named are to con- struct, purchase or otherwise acquire and to equip, own, control, maintain and operate, by steam or other motive power, a single or double track rail- road through San Diego county and Arizona, from San Diego Bay in gen. erally eastern direction following closely the international boundary line to point on the eastern bank of the Colorado river at or near Yuma, and passing through the southern limits of the Imperial settlements. 1t is stated that the estimated length of the line is 217 miles, and that the principal place of business will be San Diego.
 This action is the result of the work of the committee of citizens appointed about year ago to agitate for the San Diego-Yuma connection. Popu- lar subscriptions aggregating $42,OOO were secured and surveyors were placed in the field. That survey is practically completed, having cost only half the amount subscribed. A line has been obtained which is remarka ble for it's easy gradients, running at no place more than seventy i've feet to the mil and averaging no more than twenty five feet. The committee of citizens has been negotiating with eastern roads and capitalists, and while noth- ing of d definite nature has been ob- tained, the outlook is described as hopeful.
 President George w. Marston and Secretary l.. l.. Boone of the San Di- ego-Ea stern Railroad Com nittee and of the corporation just launched will leave in few days for New York, where they will placefbefore capitalists the facts and figures of the survey and other deductions incident to the work of the committee. They will have the detailed report of Engineer Richards, and are sanguine of success.
 The, San Diego, Union thus con- ments OH the projected road:
 "The account of the progress of the San Diego-Eastern railway project, which is published in the Union this morning, will probably prove very pleasing surprise to most readers. From time to time, news items about the survey, work of the committee, and other matters related to the enterprise, have appeared in print, but it may be doubted that many people have been aware of the actual results achieved. These are set forth very fully in these columns today, and will be gratifying
