FARMERS INSTITUTE \/
Programme of the Sessions to be Held
 Next Month in Fl Centro

The University of California Farmers Institute will be held in Ell Centro Opera House on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 6 and ', beginning at 1:3O p. m., and will be conducted by J. B. Neff, of Anaheim as University Repre- sentative. Farmers attending are advised to bring provisions, as the hotels probably will be unable to take care of so large a crowd as is expected. Coffee and bread will be supplied on the grounds, and places for spread ing luncheons will be provided.
 The objects of the Farmers Institute are to promote agricul- ture and horticulture; to show where wear and tear can be diminished, labor saved, methods of cultivation and production improved, and the general well fare of the tiller of the soil advanced. All farmers should come and bring their families.
 All subjects treated in the papers read are open to full discussion, and farmers are urged to take part and express their views. Following is the programme, each session being opened with music:

General arrangements for the colt and stock show, to be held Tn Fl Centro on Friday, Dec. 6, pre- ceding the sessions of the Farm ers' Institute, have been com pleted by Messrs. Wilsle, Clark and VanHorn, the committee of the Imperial Valley Stock Breed ers' Association in charge of the affair. Although the primary purpose of the Association is to bring out for exhibition the fine colts raised in the valley, the show will be open to all other live stock and all exhibits will be judged and placed by experts.
 The show will be held in the forenoon and the opening of the Farmers Institute has been post poned to 1:30 p. m. in order that all visitors may have opportunity to attend the livestock exhlbl- ton. Raisers of stock have man. ifested so much interest in the show and have given the com mittee such encouragement that it is hoped the affair will result in the organization of an agricul- tural association which will con- duct exhibitions regularly in the future.
 The committee requests that all entries be made on or before the night of Saturday, Nov. 30, in order that adequate accommo- dations may l. provided for stock. The place of exhibition will be the ground west of Black inton's livery stable, where suit able pens for colts will be placed by the Association. Places and feed for colts will be furnished by the committee and will be ready on Thursday preceding the show. All other stock must be penned and cared for by owners, but there will be plenty of feed on the ground,
 The classification of draft colts, driving animals and saddlers will be: Under 8 months, under 6 months, under year, under 2 years, under 3 years, under 4 years; six classes in each division. Mules may be entered in three classes, viz: Under 3 mos, un- der 6 mos. and under l year.
 Awards will be made for the best draft stallion, best driving stallion, best saddle stallion and best jack, each to be shown With five of his get. There will be also sweepstakes for the best colt of each breed within the maxi mum age limit. First, second and third ribbons will be given in all classes and the ribbons will show fully the class and placing. Competent judges from outside will award the ribbonsl
 There is no question that a splendid lot of animals will be shown, particularly in the driving and heavy draft classes. Some of the finest stock in the state is raised in Imperial Valley and the average grade has been raised greatly by the purchases of finely

Ihere are many IeXanS among the settlers of Imperial Valley and all of them who have had experience in growing cotton are convinced that the soil and cli- mate of this region are peculiarly favorable to that crop.
 Ira Aten is making various ex- periments on his ranch two miles north of El Centro and among them is the growing of cotton. In April, 1906, he planted six one-hundred yard rows of Myers cotton, a variety well known in Texas, and the plants made re- markable growth and bore an un- usual number of bolls that year. The plants were left standing and this year they are in vigor- ous condition. A stalk brought in from the ranch a few days ago carries so many opened bolls that cotton experts estimate the yield of an acre of similar plants at eight bales.
 The stalk doubtless was select ed for it's unusual fecundity and should not be considered an av- craze sample. MT. Aten, how ever, estimates the average of his small field at three bales to the acre, which is about treble the ordinary yield in Texas. The staple is three-fourths of an inch long and the bolls are larger and the proportion of seed less than in Texas.
 Men of experience in cotton growing believe that cotton would add greatly to the resources of Imperial Valley. The plants, they explain, require but little irrigation and probably could be cultivated with less labor and less trouble by weed growth than in the Texas fields. Because of immunity from heavy rain and wind storms, the picking could be postponed without danger to the crop and that work could be done when there is little other farm work going on.
 Picking could begin in Sep tember, but it could be prolonged uo to March, and it would give continuous employment to labor in what would be otherwise an idle season. It would not be necessary to bring to the valley a new special class of laborers to handle the crop. At the close of the melon season the melon pick CTS could go to the cotton fields and keep busy through the wint- CT. Planting would be done in April.
 The owner of a small farm, it appears, could handle a few acres of cotton without increase of lab or cost, employing to advantage his own time. One man can pick a bale of cotton in a week. It takes 1900 pounds of seed cotton to make a 800 pound bale of lint cotton, worth from $50 to $60 in ordinary seasons. The seed is a by-product to be taken into ac- count, as it is worth $l5 to $20 a

bred stallions during the past three years. All conditions of climate and feed are favorable to the raising of frst-class stock, and it will be seen that the ranchers of Imperial Valley have not failed to appreciate their ad- vantages. /
