 We have received from the Johnson X Musser Seed Company, of Los An geles, box containing about a peck of onion seed as sample of the stock they are offering for sale. These we will distribute to anyone wishing them, as it is the seed company's wish that the people have them to test on their Inn perial Valley lands. Onion production is very profitable where it is successful, the farmers making $lOO per acre and more net from crop planted in October and harvested in March and April. This is well worth testing.
 About one hundred acres of wheat on the BlackingtOn place near Cabarker junction was burned last Wednesday night. It is thought that sparks from the engine on the HOltOn Inter- Urban must have set it on fire. as the fire broke out few minutes after the train
 
 driver to work on repairing the Alamo bridge. The wheat, which at one time was thought to be as fine as any that could be raised anywhere, was seriously damaged by the rust, and the rest of the field which has been threshed only 5urned out about eight sacks per acre.
 The latest report from the Colorado river is dated July 20 and gives the 8OllOwing measurements: Sec. feet. Imp. canal lid. No. l (Amr. Try.) None Imp. canal Hd. No. 2 (Mex. Try) 1,102 Imp. canal Hd. No.3 (Mex. Try) l5,4S5 Total diversion by Imperial canal I6,587 Total flow of water in Colorado river at Yuma, Arizona, July 20, 2325S second feet. Apparently the work oi shutting out the water from the lower Mexican intake is proving to be diff cult task, but progress is being made, indicating that it will be successfully accomplished.
 At Brawley the farmers are taking up the matter of onion production, and are planning to plant quite an acreage next fall. They are conducting enquir- ies as to where the seeds best suited to 
 they can be secured in Texas. It would be well for our farmers generally to look into this matter. Onions certainly do excellently here, they are a very proficable crop in Texas, and we certainly can produce them as early or earlier than Texas. Anyone interested in the matter would do well to com municate with Frank Stanley at Braw- ley, who Is in touch with the matter and has been looking up the seed supply.
 Mir. and Mrs. E. NJ. Adams, who live out near the junction of the HoItOn Inter-Urban, are rejoicing in the birth of a baby girl, born July IS. This is their eleventh child, and they are en- titled to congratulations How much more valuable citizens are the men who marry and raise iarge families compared to the hail fellow, semi-tramp, who is here today and away tomorrow. Such people as Mr. Adams and his estimable wife are the home-makers and home builders of the land. Our civilization and all that is desirable in life is founded on the home. We need all the people of that kind we can get, for 'tiS written. "Imperial Valley shall not be settled altogether by immigration.'
