candidates and their friends and
much enthusiasm shown but all were
remarkably good natured and jolly.
Every body seemed too busy t.

large vote polled showed the interest

under cover or in cement basin so
that the liquid manure may be saved.
The cheapest and best way to handle
it, however, is to haul it out just as
often as possible and if there is no Gull
tivated land ready to receive 1t, spread
it on the pasture and make two blades
of grass grow where one grew before.
Manure adds humus to the soil and hui
mus is what much of the WORKOUT land
needs.
Commercial fertilizers are very ex-
pensive and farmers in general can not
afford to use them where they have
to compete with the farmer who has
kept up the fertility of his soil by
cheaper means and methods. Chemi-
cal fertilizers, however, are used
great deal in truck farming and mar
gardening to good advantage. Since
so much depends upon the products OF
the soil, let all of us who are interest
ed in agriculture, strive to keep up
the fertility of the soil and thus help
to increase the wealth of the nation
and in addition reap our own large
harveStS.

application. When the leaves have be-
come large, they must be lifted up so
as to strike the under side, where the
lice are. This is one of the reasons
why earlier spraying should be prac-
ticed. Without some kind of spraying
machine it is almost useless to try to
make any application for this insect,
as sprinkling or similar methods does
not reach affected parts.

Two Important Cabbage Insects.


J. NJ Aldrich, entomologist OF the
Idaho experiment station, has issued
a press bulletin treating of two cab
bage insects. This bulletin is given
in full below:
Much damage has been done in Ida
no in recent years by the imported
cabbage butterfly, which has spread
throughout the entire state. The but
terf1y, which is almost pure white in
color, is the adult form of a green
caterpillar, which differs from sew
eral others affecting cabbage, in that
it eats into the head instead Of confin-
ing itself to the outer leaves. While
the damage is always much worse
in the latter part of the season, cater
pillars will be found by June, and at
this time of the year may be readily
destroyed by spraying the plants with
paris green, heaping teaspoonful to
a large pail of water. This treatment
should be repeated two or three times,
the last application being made when
the cabbages have already begun to
form small heads. Spraying with
poisons is not recommended after the
heads are an inch or two in diameter.
AS soon as worms are found to be
getting into the heads, treatment with
pyrethrum should be begun. pinch
of dry powder dropped into the head
and as much as possible on the cater
pillars is the method. Still better
would be the use of a tin pepper-box
with which to sprinkle the powder
upon the cabbages. The holes in the
top of the box may need slight enlarge
ment. The powder kills the caterpil-
lars by contact. 1t soon loses its
strength after exposure to the air, and
is not in the least dangerous to man.
Persistent treatment in accordance
with the above directions will give
good results.
The cabbage aphis or cabbage louise
also causes much loss to horticulture
lists, as it is always present in large
numbers towards the end of the sea-
son. 1t cannot be destroyed by paris
green, as it consumes only the sap
The early part of the season is spent
on other plants but before midsum-
mer colonies of lice may be observed
forming on the cabbage. This is the
best time to spray, as the plants are
much smaller than at later date,
and the increase of the lice can be
largely prevented.
Strong soapsuds is one of the best
and simplest remedies. The exact pro-
portion of soap varies with the brand
and perhaps with the hardness of the
water, but can readily be ascertained
by trial, as the results are immediate
if the solution is strong enough. If
applied warm it seems a little more
penetrating.
The main difficulty which has dis
couraged many gardeners is that it is
almost impossible to hit all the >lce,
and enough will survive to make fur
Their spraying necessary. This is un-
fortunately true as a general rule, but
much depends on the thoroughness of

DIRECTORS CONFER
Officials of No. Visit Colorado
 River Heading

In response to an invitation of the Califoln mia Development Company, the directors of Imperial Water Company No. 1 and Secretary R. D. McPherrin and Superintendent Beach met with the directors of the Development Company in Los Angeles Tuesday, the object of the conference being to devise plans for more active construction work on the irrigation system. The result of the conference is unknown in Imperial at this writing, but it is known that Chief Engineer c. R Redwood invited the water company men to accompany him to the heading, and they went through to Yuma Thursday evening, and will probably reach Imperial today (Satur- lay). It is desired by Mir. Rockwood that the people of the valley know how much work has been done by the com pany below the line, and what remains to be done.
 There is little doubt that the direct ors will favor taking an active part in pushing forward work on the canal sys- tenn.

Steel Plant in Mexico

An item which appears in the Chi cago Record Herald gives some intima- tion that the Pacific Steel company may be reaching out for properties and busi ness elsewhere. It says:
 ''The newly incorporated Pacific Steel Company, which has capital of $1O0,- 000,0 ,000, has an option on the immense iron ore deposits at the mouth of the Balsas river, on the Pacific coast, in the state of Guerrero, Mexico. There it is planned to erect a large iron and steel plant The chief object of the company in building a plant ill Mexico is to sup ply iron and steel products for the Pan- anna canal and to supply the trade of the Central American and South Amer ican countries"
 When Mir. French was asked about it ho replied that it was practically the same company, but that they would not have time to do anything with the pro- position for more than a year. The San Diego plant is to be built first, he re- marked, and it will take that long to get it well started. When the Mexican plant is started it will be for the pur- pose of supplying steel and iron ill Mex ico where heavy import duty is i'm posed on iron products from this coun- try.-San Diego Tribune.

CALEXlCO BOOM ON
Many Lots Being Sold and Buildings
 Being Planned

It looks as though Calexico was to have a genuine boom this spring and summer. About fifty business lots have been sold in the town during the last two weeks, and many of the buyers are planning to build at an early date.
 There have been many persons who have expected one of the best towns in the valley to rise rapidly there, on ac- count of it being on the international line, and no time was lost i'll securing good business lots in the town as soon as the property was put on the market.

 Mrs. Chaplin and Mrs. Wilson, mother and sister of F. N and D. H. Chaplin, after brief visit in Imperial have gone to Los Angeles, where Mrs. Chaplin will make her home. Mrs. Wilson will remain with her for some weeks before returning to her home in Berkeley.
 H. A. F. Miller has received fine new soda fountain, which he is setting up in the new brick building of c. F. Preble, into which he will move his drug store in about two weeks. The building is now receiving it's finishing touches, and will be one of the finest store rooms in town.
 The county is working on the problem of pa:ting in drawbridge over the main canal at point due south of Im- perial. This bridge would accommo- date traffic passing in several directions through the southern end of the valley and is badly needed. The draw is nec- essary to permit dredge to pass in the canal.
 J. B. Brackett's new brick store build ing is nearing completion, and will soon be ready for occupancy. Hans Mar quardt of San Diego, ,who expected to oc- cupy the building, has decided not to come to Imperial, but negotiations are pending for the lease of the building, and it will not remain unoccupied.
 The government has for the third time called for bids for carrying the mail six times week between Imperia l and Calexico, service to begin May IF. As the railroad will probably be in op- eration three weeks from that date, pro- bably no one will bid on the contract. A call has also been issued for bids for carrying mail three times a week be- tween Imperial and Silsbee.
