FL CENTRO AWAKE.

The settlers at II Centro the hust- ling little Imperial valley town, are taking up experiments in the growing of cotton which if rightly conducted we believe will succeed. The Imper4 ial Valley is also going to be a great livestock and dairying section and poultry producer. The spirit of prog ress is in the air. Everywhere is push and energy and residents of other sections of Southern California would do well to emulate their brothers along the Colorado,
 Here is another instance. At El Centro the authorities have just pur- chased 12 lots as a site for new grammar school. The price was $4,- 800 The children in Imperial Valley will at least have room to breathe freely and to throw. a ball without going through 8 window The lots are likely to be worth many times the $48O0 in very few years, that is, unless the wisdom of the most exper. fenced persons is foolishness.- San Bernardino Index.

ORANGE OUTLOOK GOOD
Q. c. Whiting Summarized Results in imperial Valley in Culture of Citrus Fruit Trees and
 is Optimistic.

D. c. Whiting, of Heber, in the last issue of the California Cultivator, has an article telling of the progress that is being made in the culture of citrus fruit trees in the Imperial Val ley.
 In this article Mir. Whiting says:
 am glad to be able to tell you that the health, growth and fruiting of the few trees already in bearing has fully met our expectations of a year ago. several orange trees, three years old, in their fourth year from planting, have produced more than a box of fruit each, pronounced by OK pert orange groweR to be the very best quality. The same trees have grown to height of nine or ten feet and about the same in breadth A Villa Franca lemon tree the same age, and cut back four or five feet the year before, is very much larger and has already produced more than three boxes of lemons of the finest quality. As near as can learn there were about 200 acres planted to oranges last year, also few lemons. All are reported as making an especially good growth Before that only few had been put out for experiment, by a dozen or so different parties; less than an acre all told. There is no settled method or time for irrigation Mine have been irrigated about once 8 month during the summer, going two or three months in winter. Our total rainfall this winter so far is less than an inch. What you on the coast des- ignate as a wet season, does not oc. cur here This is dry climate, in fact.
 Trees are planted about the same distance apart as in other sections mostly 20 feet
 The Washington Navel Is consid- cred tho best variety. I have never seen any trees protected from heat. Plenty Of water is all the protection they need, but the water, when irri- gating must not stand too near the trunks or they will scald in hot wealth CT. The hottest weather record ed in the past six years has not eX- ceeded 11S, and I think has reached that point but three times. The cold est weather recorded this winter was 33 degrees, point reached three diff ferent mornings. The tender, new growth on the lemon trees has not been injured in the least, and the trees have never been given any pro. tection
 The oldest lemon tree has been blooming more than a month and has many young lemons larger than peas. The orange trees are just budding. We are experimenting along several lines If we can hasten the blossom ing and setting of fruit by certain method of applying the water, and then by taking advantage of heat and sunshine in summer produce a ripe orange in October, where! oh where will the sour orange be when it comes to the early market? Our oranges were ripe and sweet early In Novem- Der last year; in fact they were quite sweet in October, although showing no color.
 The citrus industry surely looks very bright to us here in the Imperial Valley and large acreage will be planted out this season.
