The Naming of Farm Homes.

The sudden development of the
rural delivery OF mail, and the
rapid growth OF inter-urban lines
" electric railway. make pertinent
q fresh consideration OF the cues
tion OF naming the farm homes.
The question that continually
comes up from mail delivery and
car service is. How shall the farms
oe spoken Of? Il must either be
in the name OF the resident or
owner, or by some specially adopt
ed name.
We all know the absurdities, as
addresses, OF nicknames such as
"UncIe Billy's." odd Man Haver-
straw's," Widow Plunkett's s''-we
have heard them all from child
hood. Imagine such names writ
ten as addresses upon letters, or
called out from The platform OF the
electric car! We can certainly,
with little effort, make change
in the matter.
We are now building for comfort
and beauty where fifty wears ago
we built for shelter alone. We are
planting and rearranging, and
planning for settled and prosper
Gus future. Would not the choos-
ing Of suitable names for these
beautiful farm places very prop
erly come in as a part OF the
changes? There is more dignity
about Cedar Slope" or "South
View" than "Old Man Caspar's
Place" or "Uncle Henry's Ranch. 2"
And the very fact that name has
been chosen for rhe home makes it
dearer to those who live there.
Good sense, wit and Imagination
should assist at the christening.
What special outward features do, S
the farm possess? What family
name or history shall be perpet-
uated? What local history shall
De preserved? a name that came
with the family or its ancestors
across the Atlantic might be the
choice OF s.JIne. FavOrite trees.
natural or planted, the outlook, or
some feature OF the landscape, give
much scope for choice. Wbatev yer
the name, let it be dignifed, ex-
pressiye, appropriate and euphon-
ious.

Returns From Crops on Imperial Lands

perial Dec. 22, 1901. During January sowed 16 acres to barley, using about 20 pounds of seed per acre, plowed in lightly with a gang blow. From the 16 acres I cut over three tons of hay per acre. In May I planted ten acres to sorghum and in July ten acres more I estimate that the whole will turn off eight tons of cured sorghum per acre. I turned in eighty head of cattle on seven acres of the early sown, for 30 days, which gave them abundant feed for that time. The hay crop on the 16 acres is worth at pres ent price of hay about $45 per acre, and the sorghum about $30 My land and water cost me $975 per acre, be- ing one of the first purchasers. Very truly yours, J. P. HASKELL.
 Take the statement of F. G. Ravens, for instance MT Ravens has been a
 prominent citizen of Riverside, for many years He went to Imperial in December, 1901, because he thought it good place to make an investment. He could not get water on his own place at first so utilized another tract where water could be had. He raised prOfitably two crops year on a DOT tion of his land. On the land where he raised both barley and Egyptian corn his two crops amounted to $SO

the open market here. The total cost for the corn crop was $3 per acre. moved on to my home ranch, on N. Sec. 22-16-13, April 25, 1902, and plant ed 100 acres to Egyptian corn in a manner similar to the method adopted on the leased ranch, and have fully as good crop now being harvested there. During October I brought in 250 head of hogs from Arizona and now have 150 head in the fattening pens. I feed the entire herd of 250 about one-quarter of an acre per day of Egyptian corn. I estimate that the increase per day amounts to 1 } pour ds each, which at present value of meat represents a value of $6O per acre for the crop. My crop on the 100 acres of leased land, on which I had both bar ley and corn, will give me about $S0 per acre. Allowing for unavoidable misfortunes to individuals resulting from inexperience and other causes, I consider $50 per acre low valuation for Imperial lands. Very truly yours,
 F. G. RAVENS.
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-12-06

an acre. By feeding his Egyptian corn to hogs he estimates that his one crop alone will yield him $6O an acre.
 How much is the land worth?
 Thomas Beach was one of the first settlers to locate under the Imperial Canal System, moving in from the Val ley lands below Yuma in December, 1900. In 1901, he raised a sorghum crop that sold for $52OO, one-half of which amount was profit.
 MT. Valentine Cant came from the Salt River Valley in Arizona. He is wealthy rancher and stock man whose word is considered as good as wheat all over Arizona. Last month he planted alfalfa and has now cut four crops the first season. His ex- perience with alfalfa, sorghum and Egyptian corn, induces him to say that his experience demonstrates the superiority of this land for producing feed crops over any he had ever seen either in California or Arizona
 J. P. Haskell formerly of Cuca- monga, San Bernardino county, bought land for $9.75 per acre and the first season produced two crops that yielded s75 per acre.
 Again how much is such land worth?
 \, There is no question but that it is worth much more than the market price,.

to give my experience in farming in the Imperial Valley. I came here from Riverside Dec. 18th, 1901. Not having water on my own ranch near Blue Lake, I rented the B. Sec. IT,, TITS. R. 15 B. just east of Ca1exico. I planted 200 acres of barley during January and February, 1902, using about 50 pounds of seed, sowing on the dry ground and simply discing afterwards. I irrigated six times for the crop, and harvested 260 tons of hay in May, which at present market price for hay is worth $2730. In July planted 100 acres of the barley stub ble to Egyptian corn, using 2 pounds of seed per acre at a cost of about 10c. disced the stubble ground and plant ed with a two-roW Challenge corn planter. I am now harvesting the corn, which is averaging about 5000 pounds per acre, worth $25 per ton in

There is probably no place in the United States when there is so much money being made at good plain every day general farming as there is now being made in the Imperial Settle ments, when we take into consider ation the cost of the investment nee essary to carry on the work.
 We present this week few state ments made by good reliable men who over their own signatures publish to the world the results of this sea- sons work under very discouraging circumstances.

they stayed until the last of June, 1901, q have the honor of breaking the first ground for the great I'm perial Canal System) At that time commenced to put in 300 acres of sor- ghum, which, when matured, sold for $520O, of which about one-half was clear profit. Sept. 25 I sowed 10 acres in barley and cut over four tons of hay per acre from it, which I sold in the field at $15 per ton, loose. My teams earned me about $75 per month net from December of 1900 to June, 1901, making total as follows:
 Net Sorghum crop .............. $26OO Graln crop 55O Team work .... 45O IOIal So6UO The land I farmed was smooth land near Calexico and was not plOwed simply disced for the crop and sowed dry. I consider every condition here as favorable as in the Yuma Valley and many of them much more so.

 Gentlemen-Answering your inquiry regarding my farming operations on the B. ] Sec. II, 7-17 S. RIA B., and my opinion of the capabilities of this soil for feed products as compared with the Salt River Valley, I will say that I came to Imperial from Tempe, Ariz., March 1, 1902. During April I sowed fifteen acres to alfalfa, using about sixteen pounds of seed per acre. I ob- tained a good stand, fully equal to the average in the Salt River Valley. Up to the present time I have cut the al falfa three times and will cut it again now in a few days. During May sowed 50 acres in sorghum, which will average me at least twelve tons of cured sorghum per acre. In addition had about IA acres of Egyptian corn, which, as far as I have harvested, will turn off about 5000 pounds per acre. All of my land was only disced, no blowing of any account having been done. My experience this season demonstrates the superiority of this land for producing feed crop, over any I have ever seen, either in California or Arizona. Very truly yours,
 V. CANT.

 Fundamentally experience in farm ing since coming to the Imperial Val ley has been obtained largely through hired help. On account of my time being so fully occupied with my work on the canal construction in some ca pacity, have not been able to give it the necessary personal supervision. I came from the Yuma Valley in Decem- Der, 190O with five teams, which I put to work on the canal system, where

their work has been done are new and untried. There have been partial failures because of these new and un- tried conditions, and the men have had to learn how to cultivate the soil under these conditions, and some times the work has not been properly done, because it was largely experi- mental. But look at the successes. Another year there need be no partial failures, for the work is now laid out for all and all may succeed if they will but follow in the lead of those who have succeeded this past season.
 People have talked about two crops year here on the Pacific Coast, but the two crop proposition has been a rare occurrence outside of the I'm perial Settlements and there the work has but just begun, and from present indications there, this two crop idea is liable to become largely the rule.
 In order that the reader may see what has been done we publish the following statements, of we'll known, reliable men, men who have a stand ing for integrity in the localities where they have lived for years before go- ing to Imperial.
