SMYRNA GRANGE DISCUSSES SUGAR BEETS
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE
Sugar 3 els REQUIRE No Special Soil.

Sugar beets do not require any
special soil. and the climate of all of
the northern half of this country is
suitable for beet culture. If your
grange will address the Secretary of
Agriculture at Washington, they will,
L believe, receive much valuable infor-
nation, and they can also receive,
gratis, sufficient seed to enable them
to make extended experiments next
Spring. 1t is of Importance that the
proper seed be used, in order to be GER
tain OF beets rich in sugar. If you can
not obtain the seed from Washington,
we can send you some from here next
Spring at 10 cents per pound. Many
OF the factories in this location are now
putting in driers for drying the sugar
beet pulp, which is the waste product
after most of the sugar has been ex-
tracted from the beets. One of our
factories is doing this, and we are sell
ing the pulp mostly to Eastern parties
IN Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New
York, and are receiving $l7 90 per ton
+. O. b. our factory. When the freight
and jObber's profits are added to this
figure, the'pulp must cost the Eastern
consumer close to $25 90 per ton. This
pulp is a valuable cattle feed, and the
demand is far greater than the produc-
ton"

MORE COTTON LANDS.

E. E. Bennett, rancher of Water District No. S. west of Calexico, was in Fl Centro Saturday and during a call at the Press office told of his intention to prepare for cultivation at least 200 acres of land he owns in District No. 9, almost due west of Fl Centro. This land, says MT. Bennett, is excellent for cotton, and he plans to lease it to Texas growers in forty acre tracts for cotton next season. MT. Bennett is a practical cotton grower, from Texas, and declares that but one crop on a commercial scale is needed in Imperial Valley to turn hither scores of first class, substan- tial Texans who will enter the indus try on a large scale.

PROMOTING DATE CULTURE
Government Expert Advocates Plant ing of Trees in Imperial Valley.

Bruce Drummond assistant arbor- culturist in the Department of Agri- culture, and at present stationed at the government experimental date farmat Mecca, is an enthusiastic ad- vocate of date growing in Imperial Valley. On a recent visit to Los An gAes he exhibited samples grown at the government station, where there are ninety-two trees, representing thirty-four varieties. They are four years old and more prolific bearers than African trees of the same age. Plants will be ready for distribution from the Indio farm next summer, and Mir. Drummond believes that date growing will become one of the best paying industries in the Imperial Val ley.

played are the Timgoohat and the Allowat, both grown from palms brought from the desert of Sahara The department soon will be in a position to aid those who wish to establish date orchards, and it is expected that in few years another rich crop will be added to this country.
 Dr. Galloway called attention to the fact that it was only few years ago that the United States had to import all of it's olives and prunes, but that within the last eight years the culture of these fruits had become so exten- sive that the United States now not only supplies iself with finer quail ties of both than were ever seen be- fore, but that the exports have grown until they amount to many millions of dollars a year.
 The department believes that the same result will be attained with dates.

DEFECT IN PROCEEDINGS.
Jasper School District May Have to Call New Election on Its Pro- posed Bond Issue for New
 Building.

It is probable that a new election will have to be held by Jasper School district and that all proceedings in re- gard to the bond issue for that dis trict will have to gone over before the bonds can be sold
 When the bonds were offered for sale several weeks ago, the State Board of Examiners bid them in, sub ject to a provision that the Attorney General should approve the various steps taken in their issue.
 County Treasurer Paul Roman has received notification from B. B. Dem ing, secretary of the State Board of Examiners, to the effect that the State considers a serious flaw in the proceedings the fact that the call for the election stated that the bonds were flor the purpose of raising mon ey for building a school house, fur nishing the same, and buying or leas- ing suitable school grounds
 MT. Deming says:
 We are not prepared to say that we will be able to bid again on these bonds, as we are at present of the opinion that the whole proceedings are invalid, for the reason that one of the purposes for which the bonds are attempted to be issued is leasing suit able school grounds
 "The law does not permit bonds to be issued for any such purpose. The purposes for which such bonds may be issued are clearly defined in sec tion 1880 of the Political Code and bonds cannot be lawfully issued for any purpose other than those mention in said section"

DATES FROM THE DESERT.
Waste Land of the Southwest Will Grow as Fine Fruit as Can Be
 Found Abroad.

Washington Post:) The first ship ments of any size of American-grown dates are coming east from the Unit ed States government experimental stations in the arid Southwest, and a lot was received by Dr. s. T. Gallo way at the Department of Argriculture yesterday They are of several qual- ities, including one that flourishes on the alkall deserts, which, until these experiments were made, have grown nothing but a few mesquite bushes thorn cactus, rattlesnakes, and gila monsters.
 Some of the dates displayed at the department yesterday were finer than any ever seen in the market s. They were of the Deglet Moor variety and they come from Tempe, Ariz.
 This sort of date is never sold in the United States" said Dr. Galloway yesterday, "the supply being so small that it all goes to the wealthy buyers of France and England. We have been trying to get them started for three years, and now we can say that they will grow splendldly out of the waste land of the Southwest"
 These dates are of the color and flavor of fine honey The others dis

 The claim of the Southern Paci- fic Company for s2562O was allowed. to be paid out of the school fund for Brawley district, it appearing to the Board that said sum was erroneous ly collected as taxes for 1907 and was paid into the funds of the Brawley school district.

The irrigation system of the Imper- iaI Valley is something wonderful-in fact the Imperial Valley is the only section of California which has sufi- cient water to irrigate all of its land and then have water to spare. One little hint of the magnitude of the work done in the eight yearsSsince the first work was commenced on the IT, rigation system is the fact that the ir- rigation canals of the valley are long enough to reach from Los Angeles to San Francisco and thence to the Ne vada line. From these canals 175,. 900 acres are now being irrigated, and 1t is expected that within two years one-half of the irrigated land south of the TehacheDi will be fla Imperial Val Iey-ChinO Champion
