Another Fish Story

There are some good stories which
 bear the liniaments of truth on their faces, but there are thers which call fer dC cumentary evidence For instance when man says that the Imperial ir- rigation water carries a large number of fish, which are ften found in fields be- ing irrigated, he tells what we all know to be true. But when a stern and lemn faced individual lvades the sanctum of the Press and in cold blood informs us that hefhas harvested crop of su dried carp we know he is falsi- fer despite the plans and specifications he presents. As the story runs, his field was strewn with waste grain from last years crop, and he turned in flood of water. He noticed at the time that the water was simply alive with fish and congratulated himself on getting SO much good fertilizng material free. He gave no further thought to the matter, however, fora week, when he chanced to pass the field Then he discovered that the grain had sprouted immediate ly, each sprJut catching fish in the gills and carrying it upward until it was suspended in the air, where the warm sunshine rapidly cured it.

well balanced feed. As it is we must
 balance the corn ration with some food
 having much higher protein content and contain less of carbohydrates and fat. These efforts have measurably suc- ceeded, but not perfectly. The eXperi- ment stations are working on this pro- hlem with every prospect of ultimate success.
 Cow-peas are one of the best forage crops known to the South, both for the live stock and for the soil. No staple crop is more certain. Drill about three pecks per acre in rows thirty inches wide, and cultivate about twice and whether the soil is rich or poor, you will have a crop to be proud of, and one the stock will be proud of. The popular and most common way is to plant in corn at the last cultivation, either broad cast or drilled between the corn rows. On rich soils, if p anted late, cow-peas often refuse to produce seed, but yield a heavy crop of hly or pasturage. Our North Texas black land farmers have s3m4 trouble in growing seed, but not vines. One advantage afforded by cow eas is, they may be planted from March until Aug,lst with assurance of good yield, if there is moisture in the soil to bring the plants up. This crop is worth growing on this land for its fer tilizing effects only, and theseed is clear pro fit.

Construction Crew Leaves

The Southern Pacific construction crew this week finished its work on the Imperial road so far as to permit the de- parture of the main body of working men, who go to point north of Los An geles. A few man are left behind to put the finishing touches on the new track, and the carpenters have flew days more work before them in completing the bridges between Imperial and the main line, but the new road is now practically finished, and nothing is needed to secure regular traffic but the trains, and for them the people of the valley are wait ing anxiOusly. Thus is brought to a finish one more great work in the de- velopment of the valley.

NOW AFTER POWER
Electric Plant To Be Provided for Im-
 perial by Fall

Plans are now being prepared for the electric light and power plant which it has been the intention of the Imperial Light, Water and Power Company to put in from the start, and it is proposed that by fall Imperial will be provided with electricity for both light and power purposes. The town has been growing so rapidly during the last year that the domestic water system may soon be in- adequate to meet the full needs of the population, and the new plant will pro- vide for Improvements in that respect as well as for furnishing electricity.
 Something of a canvass has been made of the demand for electricity, and
 it is found that from the installation of the plant there will be number of motors in use.
 Imperial is very fortunately situated in the fact that an electric system can be installed without great expense. The company alluded to owns the power of the big drop in the main canal south west of town. It is estimated that this drop will furnish power in the fall to the extent of 700 horse power, and when the canal is called on to furnish it's full quota of water it will run to 1200 horse power. There are no tunnels or other expensive works such as have been re- quired in building the large power plants ink the mountains of Southern California, the problems being of the nature.
 While the electricity generated will be used in large part for general light and power purposes, it will Tn part go to op- erating the pumps of the domestic water system, and almost any pressure can be provided that the requirements of the town demand.
 At just what date this new service can be provided depends on work on the canal which the California Develop ment Company yet has to do. but it is expected that that work willNbe done in the near future, and that the electric plant will be a realizat ation in the early fall

New Officials Needed

A petition is out asking the Supervis- ors to divide the Imperial judicial town ship, to give Silsbee and Imperial each a judicial organization on the same lines as the voting precincts. At present the justice of the peace resides near Silsbee and the constable at Imperial. It is with great difficulty that petty misde- meanors are given the attention they deserve, and in every community there are certain to be some such cases. The petition being circulated asks that T. P. Banta be made justice of the peace for Imperial. This is in line with the needs of the section, and it is thought the su- pervsors will act with promptness re- garding the matter.
 Another need of the town is health officer, such as all California towns need and have. In all towns there are persons who absolutely disregard the most ordi- nary sanitary requirements, and in Inn perial there are some of this class, who need to be watched closely by some
The Imperial press., 1903-04-04

official whose special duty it shall be to look after sanitary matters.
 But until such an official is appointed, there should be a general movement on the part of the people of the town to put things in heater condition. With scor1s of persons camping about the town at all times, it is possibly inevitable that G rtain quarters should have neglected appearance, but the neglect very easily becomes chronic complaint. We ought to be able to, convince the strangers vis- iting the valley that we are neat and orderly people, and this can be done with very little eXertion on the part of the citizens of the town. A general cleaning up is about the first and great est need of Imperial.

Imperial the Place for Fat Hogs

Peter Barnes of CaleXico called at the office of the Imperial Land Company and gave bit of interesting information says the Los Angeles Times. He stated that he had marketed in Los Angeles three carloads of fat hogs, and that Mr. Lathrop, of Imperial, had marketed two carloads, for which was received $6.60 a hundred pounds.
 MT. Barnes has been instrumental in shipping into the Imperial Valley stock CTS to the number of 800, and he has 250 head on his ranch near Calexico. He says the Imperial Settlements, or rather the Imperial Valley, is one of the best sections in the United States to raise and fatten hogs, and he is going into the business extensively. He states that in all his experience he has never been in any locality where hogs are so free from disease, there having been none what ever.
 Five carloads of fat cattle have been shipped out and 250 head of feeders are held by the ranchers in the valley.

FARM AND STOCK

Farm and Ranch ]-Sorgh saccharine arieties-constitute one of our very best and surest feed crops that can be grown on farm. Cut and thrown to the stock green-or the best way is to cut one day for feeding the next-it is relished by all kinGs of stock. It may be pastured, or cut and cured, or fed green and always with goid results Care should be taken to feed lightly of green sorghum the first two r three feeds. Sorghum should net be planted early It may follow oats or be planted anywere as late as August, and if there is moisture enough to bring it up, it will stay tilere, and wheqi it rains it will grow, and may be cut and will grow again, and continue to grow until frost. A convenient arrangement is to plant it close to and on two or more sides of the feed lots, so that it may be cut and thrown over to the stock. This is simply labor-saving device.
 Anoter valuable crop is peanuts, and of these the Spanish are the best for general farm use, and for all purposes except for the peanut vendors, who will give more for larger white, and more at tractive looking nuts than for a really better sort which they think will not sell so we'll. The Spanish are adapted to a wider range of soils no oinsect pest or fungus disease affects them, and they will mature a good crop during our dry est summers. They are also the earliest variety, maturing in about ninety days They are SCI m5what stronger than the old variety, but this is more than offset by the iullness of the pods and the scarcity of "pops;" also by the fact that they form nearer the main stem, and adhere more strongly to the stem which greatly facilitates harvesting, as the punches may be pulled up with every nut adhering. The nuts and the hay are both rich foods for all sorts of stock and for fowls.
 Corn is the greatest of all fattening feeds for live stock, but, as is well known, it will make badly balanced ration being deficient in protein, and consequently not suited as a sole ration for growing animals. It has long been known that different samples of corn vary much in chemical composition. The softer and more starchy having a lower protein content than the finty varieties, as it is the germ and horny appearing portions and bran that con contains the protein. Scientific plant breeders have been busy for several years with attempts to develop breeds of corn that will come nearer yielding a

WHAT ABOUT WHEAT?
Many Persons Figuring on the Fu-
 ture of the Valleys Product

Something is going t) be done this year with the wheat crop of Imperial valley, which is low growing, and which is certain to bring in large revenue to the farmers This will be the first crop which will be handled with view to the production of grain, and there is to be no dearth of buyers.
 Harvesters of various kinds are being provided. There are now being brought t, the valley self-binders and headers in large numbe", and at least one cf the great com bined harvesters, which thresh as we'll as cut the grain, is to be pr, vid ed, and a few weeks hence the harvest fields of Imperial will present an inter- esting and busy scene.
 And there will be threshers here this valley-the regulation threshers which handle the product of the self-binders and headers.
 But provisions for handling grain after it is harvested are not being over- looked. Plans are in hand by indepen- dent persons for building warehouses here, and while it is not understood that this is finally determined on, it looks as though the project might mater ialize.
 Several outside mills are already look ing after the matter of getting grain, fir m the valley for shipment, while one of the largest milling C, ,mpanies in this section is now talking Cf building a mill at Imperial next fall or winter
 There was time, but few months ago, when one sometimes heard doubt ing Thomas ask whether the crops grown here could be marketed, just as though there were obstacles presented here greater than elsewhere, but the building of the railroad and the growing of great crops have combined to put an end to such queries, and it is now an es- tablished fact in the minds of every body that the products of this valley, like the agricultural products of every section, will be sought after by many persons, and the very magnitude of the Imperial valley is tending to hasten the coming of buyers.
