IMPERIAL TALES
WoodpiIe cubator-lmperial Kafflr
 Corn as a Poultry Food

The Redlands Facts has the following interesting story from a special corres- pondent writing from Highlands:
 When voluntees were called for to subdue the primeval stretches of the Imperial plain, Highland furnished her full quota. In addition to the large number who went out to do actual ser vice, there were many who bought land and sent substitutes. Enthusiasm per- vaded the colony and every mothers son of them purchased every acre of land he imagined he could pay fer. Many of these pioneers are succeeding and interesting tales of their varied ex- perlences are constantly coming over. The latest one is entitled Joe Watson's Incubator.
 Watson is prosperous orange grow CT of East Highlands, who went to the desert to invest the accommodating profits of his orchard. Mrs. Watson found her health so much improved by the Imperial climate that the family de- cided to reside there. In order to make the place seem homelike a number of hens were purchased and given the freedom of the premises. In the ab sence of other shade, the hens naturally betook themselves to the woodpile, d great and wide heap of crooked mes- quite where theEti4zr.d, all followers, whether man or te this safe and -hady retaeat the nens d theia laying aIfd with no one tpIsisso away their eges. It is not stated whAlfsr tie hens were of sitting breed and no one seemed to know whether they did more for the eggs than to lay them. In any event, it was not long before troops of young chickens began to emerge from the wOodpile and continue to do so un- til Mrs. Watson reckoned her flock at 400 She calls the woodpile her incuba- tor and is much pleased with the com bination of mesquite wood and Imperial sunshine.
 Imperial Kaffir corn is to play an inn portant part ill poultry raising all over Southern California. The first of this grain shipped out, twenty-four ton carload, was brought to Highland last spring by w. M Bristol, who had used it as poultry feed both here and in Kansas. Mir. Bristol distributed half the car load among the local poultry raisers and stored the remainder for his own use. Although chemical an- alysis places it's food values at small per centage below that of wheat, in actual use it has given better results that wheat and is now being fed ex- clusively by many, because of the sav- ing in cost. Vast fields of this grain are being sown this season and harvest ing will begin next month. Egyptian corn and all the other varieties of non- saccharine sorghum have been tried there and, for number of reasons, have given place to the Kafir.
