PROMINENT LOS ANGELES MEN
 SECURE LARGE HOLDINGS

The most important land and water sale in the history of the valley is be- ing consummated. Its importance lies in the magnitude of the deal and coming interested in the valley. The selling price is about $100,0OO, while the men who are purchasing land and water are among the most prominent capitalists of Los Angeles, their in- tention being to engage in the cattle business on a large scale.
 For some months representatives of the Los Angeles capitalists alluded to have been Investigating the lands on both sides of the international line and have bought of the California De- velopment Company 10000 acres just south of the line in Mexico and $500 acres in the United States just north of the line. Through arrangement with the California Development Company the purchasers will put in
 
 tenn.
 Among the members of the syndi- cate are Mai. j.-Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, general manager of the Los Angeles Times; Harry Chandler, bus mess manager of the Times; President William Allen and D. O. Anderson of the Los Angeles Title Insurance and Trust Company; J. w. Ritzman, vice president of the California Bank; Messrs. Wilson and Wheat, prominent oil operators in Los Angeles and Kern river, and G. C. Hunt, Los Angeles capitalist.
 It is always encouraging to the small investor in new country 10 know that his investment is in a line which is endorsed by the shrewdest of business men, and when men such as

Crops for the Desert

Prof. Joseph Burtt Davy, who wis ited points on the desert for the State University some weeks since, to make a special botanical study, has written in a bulletin just issued the following opinions of the prospective crops:
 "In experimenting in new country and with new conditions, it is wise to try first mainly those things which are most likely to be successful. at the same time neglecting no opportunity to try other things on smaller scale. On account of the nature of the soil and climate and the situation of the valley, it is probable that the Colorado delta will have it's greatest develop ment in the line of stock raising and dairying. Nevertheless, the growing of certain fruits for the early markets of Chicago and the East should not be overlooked, particlarly in the line of the production of cantaloupes, water melons, CcTldlH CIdSSCS Ol SIdPCS NPdi- ticularly the Thompson seedless), figs and dates.
 Alfalfa. barley, the sorghums, stock dairy products, honey, sugar beets, the fruits above mentioned, and possibly cotton and some of the cereals, are likely to be the staple products of the delta. Sugar cane, oats, rice, corn, hemp, flax and most of the fruits are not likely to succeed. The Sisal hemp plant should be tried; it is more likely to succeed on the mesa lands than on the alluvial plain.
 "Fall sowing should be practiced wherever possible, except in the case of crops susceptible to low temper atures, such as corn and teosinte. Ex- perience has already shown that bar ley and wheat thrive admirably when planted by the 18th of September. Late sowing will, in the case of such crops, be likely to result in stunted growth, and possibly in entire lack of develop ment. By early sowing it will also be
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-06-07

possible 10 secure an early market in many cases.
 'When sown by the middle of Sep tember, barley near Calexico has made a growth of three and ome-half to four feet and headed out by the last of March; it stools out remarkably, pro- ducing from seventy 10 ninety stems from single root stock. Attention might be given to some of the fine Bavarian brewing barleys recently in- troduced by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, for which there may be good demand in the princi- pal brewing centers, just as there is for Oregon barley, if they can be grown satisfactorily in this region.
 "In preparing the ground for alfalfa it is very important not to flood the land after sowing until the plants have covered the ground well, other wise hard crust IS formed through which it is almost impossible for the seedlings to break. The land should be well irrigated before sowing, pref erably twice; then plowed as soon as the surface is sufficiently dry, and har- rowed to a fine tiltt, in which the seed should be sown and left to take care ofitself till well up. There will be enough moisture retained in the soil to provide good stand in this way, without danger of caking the surface or scalding the seedlings or causing a condensation of salts. Alfalfa will do best in the lighter, loamy soils. It is hard to start alfalfa in soils of 2 to 4 per cent of salts; it does best in soils of not more than from to 2 per cent.
 "Beets should do well as a winter crop on the lighter, sandy soils. It is not likely that sugar beets can be profitably grown on the heavier soils, as the sugar content and purity CO., efficient are likely to be low.
 "The Mangold Wurzel (var. rapa) is valuable cattle food, but is not likely to stand the summer heat; it should be tried as a winter crop for
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-06-07

summer feeding, as all addition to the alfalfa ration.
 "It is probable that all of the sor- ghum races, both saccharine and non saccharine, will thrive and will prove important forage crops, as they are m Northeastern Texas. The sorghums include not ouly sorPhum, but also Kaffir corn, Jerusalem corn, Egyptian corn, Durra, Milo maize, broom corn and Guinea corn.
 Four crops of Jerusalem corn have been obtained at Indio from single sowing. This variety is said to be rather more prolific than Egyptian corn, though both thrive we'll there and at Calexico.
 "On account of the scarcity of sor- phum seed in the market and its high price, it might be profitable to raise it for seed as we'll as for forage.
 "The Smyrna fig industry has now been placed on what seems to be a thoroughly firm basis, and the quality of the California product is superior to that of the imported article. In view of the fact that in 1900 we inI- ported 8,812, ,481 pounds of dried figs, valued at $513,895, there would seem to be market for all the Smyrnas we can produce. The area over which the Smyrna fig can be satisfactorily culti- vated is so limited that the likelihood of severe competition is reduced. The successful republication of the flowers and handling the crop are not difficult, although they require care and skill, but not more than is required in the case of many of our special crops, while the prospects for good returns and good markets are much greater than in the case of cotton and sugar cane. Figs thrive at Indio and should be thoroughly tested at Calexico and Imperial, particularly the Smyrna va rieties, together with the necessary capri figs. Some attention should also be given to the raising of the finest varieties of table figs, s,with aview to catching an early market. These should be carefully experimented with, however, before attempting to launch out extensively; it is better to make haste slowly in such matters.
 "The Colorado desert is one of the few places in the United States where the date palm is likely to grow to per
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-06-07

lection. At Indio Mir. c. w. Durbrow HOW has a number of date palms four years old from the seed, which are six feet high. The date should be raised from suckers of high-grade trees in preference to raising it from seed, as seedlings are apt to deteriorate; care must be taken to secure both male and female trees. A fully illustrated ac- count of the date industry is contained in the Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture for 1900. In this article we find the following note: "The value of the dates imported into the United States alone averaged for the ten years ending June 30, 1900, $4O2,762 per annuni, as apprased at the exporting point. The real value when received at the American port was doubtless so per cent greater, or $6OO,- 900 year, an amount now exceeded only by the imports of two other dried fruits-Zante currants and Smyrna figs
 "For timber and shade trees the true red gum, the Mann gum and the Yate
 
 wood trees of rapid growth. The mes- quit is so thoroughly adapted to the climatic and soil conditions of the region that it might be grown as small shelter and feed for hogs and cattle, windbreak and to furnish fuel. It grows very readily from seed. Both the native Washington palm and the true date palm can be grown for orna- in. als71n ;t1f lao
 "In conclusion, the writer would of the vast area of land, about one and quarter million acres, of which some 160,O ,OO0 acres has already been taken up, being brought under irriga- tion, the large number of families already settled upon this land, the peculiarities of the soil and climate of the region, differing entirely from any other region of the states, that it would be of immense value 10 the set tiers in the region, as well as of great scientific value, to have a state expert ment station established, preferab bly in the vicinity of Calexico, and under the direction of this station, where practi- Cal experiments could be carried on, Illustrating the best methods of treat ing the soil and demonstrating what crops can be grown and how they should be handled.
 "A local station, situated on average land, placed on permanent basis and with adequate income, would be an ob- ject lesson to the farmer of what can be accomplished by the best methods of farming. It would cost at least $30OO to establish and equip such a station, and about $2, 800 to maintain if

How long this torrent Of scarcely mufied
asperities would have continued to flow I
cannot tell, but the course of events was
changed by the initiative Of Little Johnny

ably by my doughty antagonist he had de-
tached himself from my hand and made off
In the direction OF the herds house. After
that he disappeared entirely for some min
utea and his movements from that point
can only be made out by inference from
circumstantial evidence.
As far as I saw, however, there issued
presently several things from the herds
house OF B-ennangower. Imprimis, one wild.
sustained and savage yell indicative OF
pain, anger, afhiction. persecution, the
torture of the boot, the inquisition and all
the worst pictures in Fox's Book of
Martyrs. Item. one rapidly moving small
boy in stained blue blouse and twinkling
knickerbockers, his mouth open and
squared with anguish. his face stained with
some red unguent. a jam-pot in one hand
and the debris of some pastry in the other,

man. active on his legs, bare-headed and
without coat, with his shirt sleeves rolled
up to his elbow. He had a stick in his
hand and his intentions were evidently tc
overtake the small boy-probably for pur-
poses OF political argument.
But still no John. l began to think he
could not be at home. At sight OF me
