FINE VALLEY APPLES
Trees on Jackson Ranch, Near sils- bee, Have Load of Firm, Bright
 Fruit This Season.

And now 1t is apples that come to the fore as a success in Imperial Valley.
 Dr. Smith, of Colorado. and r. M. Burger, of this city. formerly of Col orado, both expert peach growers, and Nurseryman William Kelly went out to the J. A. Jackson ranch. on the east side of the SFlsbee road. on Thursday, to examine the peach trees which wore a full crop---in fact too many, as the crop should have been thinned out. They were unable to determine the varietyN but all de- cided that peaches can be grown suc- cessfully in this valley when the trees are properly pruned and not irrigated too much. They believe the Chinese strains will be found best adapted to this valley.
 But what surprised them most was the fine apple trees on the Jackson ranch in full bearing, with beautiful firm fruit, samples of which they brought to El Centro
 People on the ranch stated that the trees have borne fruit for two years, and that last year the Bellfeur trees also bore fine fruit, but that this year the fruit had fallen off, for some unknown reason.
 MT. Kelly sent to the State Uni versity twigs of the apples trees, which are bearing so abundantly this year, to determine the variety, and If possible he intends to secure a large number of this variety for fall planting this year

 All the teams will have new uni forms this year and in every town the grounds and grandstands will be greatly improved over last year. 1m- perial has entirely fenced in her big field. El Centro will wear gray uni- forms, Holtville light grey, Calexico, khaki color, Imperial, dark brown. Brawley and Yuma have not yet de- cided, although they will not conflict in color with those selected by the other towns.
 By the end of next week all the teams will have definitely lined up and nearly every man will have re- ported for duty. It will be easier then to size up the comparative strength, but it isn't necessary to wait a minute to decide that desert base ball this winter will be the warmest ever.

a track is to be extended with spurs to be run out for various industrial concerns and warehousing.
 All of this extension is to be made during the ensuing few months, and the first of it will begin within the next thirty days.
 Extensive changes are also to be made in the railroad yards at Im- perial, and at Old Beach several new tracks are to be constructed.
 It is also probable that during the next three months the valley lines will be relaid with heavier steel. At present there is great shortage in building material, and the company is having a hard time to get together material for the work absolutely ne- cessary; but large shipments have been ordered and are due to arrive within three months.
 As an indication of the present shortage of material, during the past week a carload of "scrap" rails was gathered up in this vicinity and sent 10 other districts where the good sec- tions will be cut out and used in short lengths for repair work.
