FORTY DOLLAR CARRIAGES
Carload Shipments From Imperial Valley-FaiIure of Southern
 Crop.

Shipments of cabbage began this week with the sending out of car load from El Centro, and another car will go out Monday. Cabbages are now netting to the grower better than $40 ton.
 The Southern cabbage crop is re- ported to be small this year, owing to reduced acreage and unfavorable weather The Produce News says:
 The yield of cabbage in the South will not be more than 40050 per cent of a yield, and as the acreage planted is only about 60 per cent Of what it was in 1908, the yield of early cabbage in the southern half of the Gulf States Florida and the Carolinas will not be more than 30@35 per cent, as compared with the yield of 1908.
 Tt is now too late for this south ern section to replant their cabbage crop so they are increasing the acre age that will be planted in potatoes, beans, cucumbers and tomatoes. These four crops will be much heavier than last season; almost double the acre age. Early cabbage will be scarcer than it has been in 20 years. The grower who ships a hundred crates to the acre, when the average yield is 200, will be doing a big thing. The small yield is caused by cabbage seed ing out and the hurt that it received by cold having no favorable weath- CT since, the plants have not over come the effects of the cold.
 Though general reports from Cali fornia indicate the cabbage shipments will be of bulk to exceed that of last year, yet one of the forecasts of the situation received in Chicago during the week has offset the indica- tiOns first handed out. Tn a letter to J. Friedman, from the Seml-Tropic Produce Company it is stated that the shipments from the Coachella alley will be lighter than had been anticipated, but will be larger than last year, This is caused by an in crease in acreage. The information sent MT. Friedman indicates that there will be 1OO@15O cars in the en- tire shipment"

Commissioner Jeffrey Urges Selection of Best Man for

Experts of State University Faculty Give Practical Advice to Farmers
 Who Attend Meetings in Connection
 With the Work of the Southern Pa cific's Agricultural School on Wheels

The demonstration train, operated by the Southern Pacific, the State University and other agencies for the benefit Of farmers, was in Imperial Valley on Thursday and Friday of this week. Experts in various lines of agricultural and horticultural work conducted meetings and delivered lee lures to the people at various places Illustrating their points with exhibits displayed in one of the cars and giv- ing helpful advice to farmers seeking Information.
 The train was at Calexico on Thurs. day morning, at Heber early in the afternoon and at Bl Centro for the rest of the day. On Friday it was at Imperial and Brawley.
 On Thursday afternoon @ meeting was attended by great many farm CTS. In the evening a meeting was held in Holt Opera House and was not well attended, owing partly to the disagreeable wind that deterred peo- pie from driving in from the country. Short talks on topics of interest to farmers were given by specialists.
 State Horticultural Commissioner Jeffrey explained the change that has been made by the Legislature in Coun- ty horticultural commissions and urged the importance of the work of those bodies. Instead of q board, there will be one commissioner in each county, and he will be selected by eXamina- tion from a list of candidates. board of state examiners will hold @ session in Fl Centro and put all applicants for the place through a written exam ination on practical lines and the Supervisors will choose a commission CT from the list of those who pass satisfactorily and are certified as com potent.
 Mir Jeffrey urged that the best pos sible man be appointed and that he be paid salary large enough to in sure devotion of all his time to the WOIh Ol JulS OlIlCG. All dCllVH, 6ul- cient commissioner, he said, could save to the county hundreds of thous- ands of dollars by preventing the in trOduCtion of plant diseases and pests.
 You are about to begin cotton planting here, said MT. Jeffrey. Got ton growing may become one of the great interests of the State. It may be a failure. If the boil weevil gets in here, it will be a failure. A com petent horticultural commissioner can keep out the boil weevil, and he may save a vast sum of money to the planters. l make a special plea to the people of Imperial County to give liberal and hearty support to the of fcer, whoever he may be- and to the Supervisors to choose the very best man possible and to pay him we'll A few hundred dollars a year should not stand in the way, for the horticultural commissioner may easily make or break Imperial County's fruit inter ests."

WEEK OF GOOD WORK
 FOR VALLEY TEACHERS
County Institute Proves h. StruCtive, Helpful and
 Highly Successful

The Imperial County Teachers In stitute which was held in Bl Centro all this week, was the biggest, most helpful and best gathering of the kind ever held in the County. Sixty teachers and speakers were present, nearly twice as many as last year. The arrangements were complete, the programmes well arranged and q credit to County Superintendent Carr and others who formulated and car ried out the weeks work. The ad- dresses and papers were exceptional ly helpful and interesting, many of them containing practical and useful suggestions to teachers All the meet ings were well attended and the clos est attention paid to the proceedings. The institute has been of great prac- tical benefit to the teachers of the Couny.
 Mark Keppel Superintendent of Schools in Los Angeles County, gave two lectures Tuesday, both interest ing and of a practically helpful na- ture Prof. Lunt, formerly of River side, showed the teachers how to teach by use of pictures. The musi- cal part of Tuesdays program was contributed by Miss Janice Meredith, who sang some Spanish songs.
 On Wednesday F. B. Jones talked on the card system of teaching reading. Prof B. c. Nichols, of the Fl Centro High School, in the course of his ad- dress on "The Place of Athletics in i School made the point that athletics not only develop the child physically but mentally and morally, by teaching self control, moderation, honesty and correlation of judgment with action. Education, he said, "is a preparation for life economically, socially, politi- cally, and in the requirement of a complete education the right kind of athletics, properly conducted, plays m important part"
 An address on "The Purpose and Promise of Manual Training" by Prof. Mark Keppel was one of the best and most Interesting talks of the week. Charles J. Booth, in his talk on Agri- culture in Grammar Schools, strongly emphasized the advisability of teach ing agriculture directly by means of school gardens rather than theoreti- cally by the use of books. The musi- cal part of Wednesdays program was a treat solos, being excellently rendered by Prof. Dana Woods Hatch and Miss Grove, of Imperial, and by Mrs. Nettie M. Hayden, of El Centro Thursday morning Dr. Ernest Bry- ant Hoag opened the program with an 1 address on Methods and Results in 1 the Medical Examination lof School l Children. He suggested that in I'm perial county one physician carry on the work for the entire county. The medical phase of school life Is one l of the latest developments in educa tional work and Dr. Hoag showed very clearly It's importance by citing instances of children whose apparent backwardness in school was readily Overcome when some hitherto unsus
 pected physical ailment was properly diagnosed and removed.
 After listening to some excellent vio
 lin and whistling solos, the conven
 tion adjourned Thursday afternoon tC
