Large Stock Yards

The stock yards now being completed in Imperial by the Southern Pacific Company show that the railroad people have comprehensive idea of what is being done here. The yards have capacity of thirty carloads of cattle, and it is safe to say the railroad has not bet ter yards anywhere in Southern Cali fornia. The yards are undoubtedly in excess of the immediate demands of the valley, but will be given good use in the years to come.

SOME DEMONSTRATIONS
Results of Operations in the Imper-
 iaI Harvest Fields

IaI harvest FIeIdS
 While grain was grown in Imperial valley last year in considerable quantity for hay, none was threshed, and the real value of the crops for grain pur- poses was left undecided, except as it was estimated by experts. This year, however, two combined harvesters, with threshing attachments, are at work, and other threshing machines will soon be at work, making it possible this year for the first time to demonstrate the real value of the grain crops.
 The first work of the combined har- vester was in barley field which was considerably below the average of the valley, and yet it ran from 17 to 25 sacks to the acre, which is taken to indicate that barley grown for grain is destined to be a great success. On this basis, much of the acreage in the valley should run better than 30 sacks.
 Later in the week work was begun on the wheat field just west of town, and it has been turning out about 25 bushels to the acre. This piece of land is de- serving of special comment. The state ment has often been made that the heavy soil in the immediate vicinity of the town of Imperial is the least valuable in the valley. That statement, however, has been very much qualified by persons who have watched the growth of this grain, and there are few people here who will condemn land that can yield even as much as is now being harvested. But even this result does not show the real value of the land, as it is estimated that from one-tenth to third of the grain was threshed out by the strong wind of last week. Men donot agree on the percentage of the loss, but it is evi- dent that the real production of the land was from 27 to 32 bushels an acre, according to the amount lost.
 In this connection it can be said that the work of the com blned harvester has been highly satisfactory, though the
 
 whether the combined machine, the header or the binuer will Tn the end prove most profitable. The combined machine offers big economy in handling the crop, and 1t works to perfection in this country. But before grain can be threshed it must be perfectly ripe, and there is no doubt that in this perfectly dry climate ripe grain in the field has tendency to be threshed by the wind. Whether the loss in this respect will more than offset the economy of labor remains to be more fully demonstrated.
 The quality of the grain thus lar threshed is of high standard, fully meet ing the expectations of everybody.

CORRUPT POLITICS

The Postofice department is being purged of a gang of men who have carried into the depart ment the corrupt principles which too often attach to municipal government, but which have sell dom found loGgnent in the ma tional government since the days of Dewitt Clinton and Aaron Burr. Only twice i'll modern politics have there been expos ures of rottenncss to compare with those of the present, the two former exposures relating to the Whiskey Ring and the Star Route Gang, both operating dur ing the Administration of Presi- dent Grant, while the present era of postal corruption seems to have reached its greatest development during the Administration of President Mckinley. Grant and Mckinley each seemed to bea vic tim of misplaced confidence, while the hero of San Juan hill, now that he is President, is applying to his duties the knowledge of practical politics which he acquired when civil service com missioner, with the exposures as a result.
 Meanwhile such upheavals are evidences that the world pro gresses. Politicians today do not dare do acts which were com monplace i'll the days when "the fathers of the Republic" were at the head of affairs, and each eX- posture lends to lift the general level of politics, even though it yet has long way to travel be- fore reaching an ideal poSitioH.

BUILD ON FOUNDATION

The Press is pleased to note the tendency of the land claim ants in the valley to subdivide their holdings, disposing of d part to get means for the i'm provement of the remainder. There is always a tendency in d new country to overreach, and because of this tendency the time comes i'll the development of al- most every section when there is a reaction, and those who have been too grasping lose all they have invested. Throughout the Middle West everywhere one can hear the story of the pioneers who got overloaded with land, and eventually were forced to sell out, with the result that agreat percen tageof the people'who braved the pioneer experiences got little of the benefits that came in time.
 We are building a society in Imperial valley, not for a day, but for all time, and that socie ty will grow and prosper just i'll proportion as we make sure of the foundation on which the structure is built.
 A man from Northern Califor- nia said in the Press office this week: "There are thousands of men up our way who would come here and lease land and farm it if they could arrange with your merchants to carry them from crop to crop"
 The reply was; I've don't want them"
 One must respect the man who labors faithfully and meets his obligations from day to day, if he has but a garden patch. But the plunger, the man who piles debt on aebt and assumes all manner of obligations, is as dan gerous i'll any society as is dyna- mite on shipboard.
 There are many farmers in the valley who are endeavoring to do too much. The future of this valley is to have many farms of from 10 to 100 acres each, and the man who has such farm free of debt, under ample irrigation, who has it we'll stocked and sells the "hnished commodities" in the
