LOCAL MENTION.

Chief Wilmarth said this morning
that as long as there was a sign of
fire in the ParkhurSt-DaVis ruins the
company of six men and three streams
of water would be on the scene. This
company of men have been throwing
water on the fire ever since the con-
iagration and as the burnino debris is
in a dangerous district the fire chief will
not order his men away until every
ember is cold The loss of a fire COM
pany seriously handicaps the fire de-
partment of the city and the chief is
anxious for a withdrawal from the
ruins. There are 1000 feet of hose and
six men at the building.

LAWN GRASS FOR VALLEY
Expert Recommends Bermuda, Lippia and Australian Rye For
 City Lots.

Can Kentucky Blue grass be grown for lawns in the Imperial Valley, and if not, what is the best grass for this purpose? ]. o. S.
 Answered by pr. ]. Eliot Colt of the University of California Bxperi- ment Station.
 It is quite possible that Kentucky Blue grass can be grown in the Inn perial Valley, but it demands an abun- dant and constant water supply and partial shade. As shade trees are just beginning to be grown, blue grass is practically out of the ques- ton for the ordinary home builder.
 These are two grasses however which may answer the same purpose. Australian Rye grass makes a very beautiful winter lawn in Southern Ari- zona and is much used there for this purpose. It is an annual and should be sown in October or November. It dies down at the approach of the very hot weather of summer.
 Bermuda grass will make a good lawn when water and the lawn now CT are properly used. It thrives won derfully in the region, as most ranch CTS know to their grief. On account of it's pestiferous nature on the ranch, many town people will not use it for lawns. While there is some difficult ty in keeping the grass out of the flower beds, there is no getting around the fact that Bermuda grass would not be dangerous if used on many town lots, which would other wise be bare and dusty.
 l would not recommend anyone living in the country to plant Bermuda grass for lawn. I would suggest for them the Australian Rye grass or the Fog Fruit plant Lippia Nodifora. This is not a grass, but low running green plant which makes very good lawn covering. It is planted by setting out small pieces of the runners which take root very readily in winter and spring. This plant will furnish a green cov- ering for the ground the year round and will not become pest. The writ CT has seen one very pretty lippia lawn near Holtville.
