The thousands of hogs pastured on alfalfa are also bring ing wealth to their owners, and their number is multiplying wonderfully Then there are thousands of head of beef cattle being pastured on grain fields, and many of the farmers are get ting from $1 to $2 head per month for pasturing cattle for other people or are making money from their own cattle, and there is wealth of pasture of this character which surpasses computation. Aside from these lines is the dairy busi- ness, which is bringing wealth to many farmers.
 While it is fact that there ale indi- vidual cases in the valley where the in- completion of the irrigation system is bringing hardships, it is also true that for each such case there are many in- stances of great prosperity, and in it's general aspect the outlook for the valley is most encouraging one.

CROP CONDITIONS
Some Magnificent Fields, but with
 Others Not Doing Well

Others Not Doing Well
 It is impossible, probably, to give an account of crop conditions through Im- perial valley that will enable the non- resident to form correct idea of exist ing conditions, while even people resid- ing here find it impossible to estimate the yield of grain this season.
 As has been stated in the Press, there is an acreage of nearly 10000, principally in barley, some of which is practically ready for harvest, with other fields just coming above the ground. Some of the early fields, which have had an abundance of irrigation, are as promising crops as were ever seen in any part of the world. In few cases the crops have suffered for want of water, and while the yield of hay may be great, the grain will not fill out we'll. In still other fields, on account of late planting or late irrigating there will not be heavy yield even of hay. These latter fields are in the minority, but are sufficiently numerous to illustrate the fact that all kinds of farming, all sea- sons of planting, and all kinds of exper fence with water, due to the incomplete condition of the irrigation system, are bringing all kinds of results.
 But in spite of this experience, the valley will greatly increase it's output of threshed grain.
 Rut aside from this condition of the grain crop, the farmers of the valley who have their farms we'll developed, are making money rapidly. Nowhere in the world could be found finer alfalfa fields than those of this valley, and beef stock pastured on these fields are rap
