THE EDGEWILD RANCH

Two years ago, H. s. Reed, a well known banker of New Mexico, formed the American Nile Company and pur- chased quarter section of land ly- ing two miles southwest of El Centro. The price paid was s175.00 per acre, but MT. Reed has since demonstrated that he got bargain. Extensive inn
 provements were at once commenced, and about forty acres was set to ap- ricots and peaches of a choice va riety. Another part of the ranch was set out in Malaga and Thompson's seedless grapes, in all about 12O acres being in vineyard two years old Re- gently the American Nile Com pany bought 80 acres adjoining the former holdings and this too, is be- ing highly cultivated. together with a piece of land that is leased. There is about. 1T acres in Bermuda on- ions that will be marketed in April.

and mules are raised on the ranch, in addition to those bought. More than 15O men are constantly employed by the company, working under the di- rection of foremen and superinten- dents.
 The California Mexico Land &Cattle Company is owned and controlled by Los Angeles capital. Walter K. Bow ker the general manager, has direct ed the companys affairs since it's or ganisation nine years ago. In that brief space of time the property has increased immensely in value and 1t
 is today one of the finest properties on the Pacific coast, with future that promises still more remarkable development.

MlLLIoN.AcRe RANCH
Vast Domain of the California Mexico Land G Cattle Go. in the Delta
 of the Colorado.

The magnificent property owned by the California Mexico Land & Cattle Company, more familiarity known as the "C-M" Ranch, lies just across the Mexican International boundary line from Imperial County, with the ex- ception of HOO acres, located two miles east of the town of Calexlco on which is established headquarters for the ranch. This HOO acres is in a high state of cultivation, a large portion of it being covered with fine stand of alfalfa from which enormous crops are cut. The barns, sheds, sta bles, blacksmith shop, harness shop corrals and offices of the company are located here. The ranch house is es- pecially adapted to the climatic con ditions prevailing in the Imperial Val ley, and is commodious and substan- tially built of buff pressed brick.
 From 150 to 200 high bred dairy COWS are kept on the headquarters ranch and the cream is sold to one of the big creameries operating in the valley. Thousands of head of hogs are raised on the broad acres of all falfa and fattened for the market, an average of two carloads a week be-
 ing shipped to Los Angeles markets throughout the year. Hundreds of head of beef cattle are lriven up from the Mexican side of the ranch and fattened here for the California and valley market. The finest of Tennessee. Jacks and imported stal- lions are kept on the headquarters ranch for breed purposes. A feature of the ranch and one that will give some idea of the extent of the busi- ness transacted, is the quarterly auc-

THE WHITING RANCH

Located two miles due southeast of
 Fl Centro, at q point where the South
 srn Pacific Railroad crosses the coun-
 ty road, is the 48O-acre ranch of
 D. G. Whiting. This highly develop
 ed three quarter section is in a fine state of development and is one of the show places of the valley D. C.. Whiting, the owner, is a pioneer to the Imperial Valley having filed on his present property in the spring of 1902, at the time the valley was first attracting attention. He had his choice of the thousands of acres then to be picked from and 1t is evidence his good judgment that he selected three of the best quarter sections in the county. The land is as level as billiard table. and of the 48O acres. 300 have been seeded to alfalfa and have a remarkably fine stand.

tion sale, at which from 300 to 600 head of horses, mules and other live stock are disposed of
 While the American headquarters ranch is as large as many Eastern counties, the vast domain lying just across the line and extending south and west twenty five miles to the skyline of a rugged mountain range, east to the Colorado river and the Gulf of California and north to the American boundary line is measured by square miles, rather than by acres. This immense body of land, fertile as the valley of the Nile, and level as billiard table, contains over S0O,- 900 acres and is part of the original

GARDEN OF BURBANK sPNELEss CACTUS

Ranch This fine body of land was filed on by E. E. Forester and his wife under the desert land act in June 1901 and at a time when Mir. t orrester had an opportunity to choose the best land in Water District No. l, and he has never had occasion to envy his neighbors for having a bet ter or more fertile piece of land than his.
 During the eight years that MT For rester has owned and farmed the property, he has kept it in a high state of cultivation, and the Torres ter Ranch is spoken of as one of he show places of the county. There are about 300 acres in alfalfa with an exceptionally good stand. From two to three hundred head of hogs are kept on the place, and some idea of the profits may be conceived when it is known that hogs have been sold this year for nine and ten cents a pound.
 Another feature of the ranch is the feeding of cattle, for Mr Forester

THE CoNANT RANCH

Located about four miles southwest of El Centro and the same distance from the International boundary line lies the 2S0-acre Conant Ranch, one of the show places of the valley. This fine property was purchased in 1903 by Clarence Conant, formerly of New York State, at $42 per acre. At the time the purchase was made, resi- dents of the valley laughed at the price paid as it was the highest ever quoted for a desert farm. Those who smiled at the time have long since ceased to see the joke. Suffice to say the land could not be purchased today for $200.00 per acre. So much for the remarkable increase in land values.
 Probably no other ranch in the val ley is farmed more scientifically or in a more busnesslike manner. Re- suits are seen in the magnificent re- turns received from the various crops harvested during the year. Mir Co., nant now has a 60-acre, three year old vineyard of Malaga grapes, which have already reached the shipping stage; 12O acres to be planted to cot ton as soon as the present crops of cabbages and peas are off; 35 acres in asparagus; 25 acres in cabbages that will bring S100.O0 her acre or bet ter; 6 acres in peas. Mir. Conant also owns section of land near sils- bee that he has not as yet improved, although he expects to put a quarter of it into cotton this spring. The Conant ranch Is one of the finest in the valley and made so by Mir Co., nant's personal supervision and liberal expenditures.

net income to dairymen of the valley during the past six months has av- eraged about Si200 a day. Still the majority of the people of the valley even do not realize this fact and that dairying is the quiet steady going industry that has brought the surest and most money to the valley.
 Luxuriant feed does not alone make dairying in this valley so profitable. The market we reach is not over supplied and the prices are the best There is brisk competition in buying, there being four creameries manufac- turing the cream received in butter here. There are besides four concerns buying cream for shipment to Los An geles manufacturers, thus making buy ing very active and insaCing the pro- ducer the best of prices and treatment.

THE VAN HORN RANCH

The Van Horn ranch, of 200 acres, lies about four miles south of Fl Centro and the same distance from the International boundary line. The own CT, w. A. Van Horn, came to the val ley in the fall of 1900 and, together with his brother, l.. M. Van Horn, did the first work with Fresno scrap CTS on Water District No. 1.
 He lost no time in filing on a 160 acre desert claim, his wife filing on another, while his brother took up the adjoining quarter section. They have since disposed of just half the original number of acres, w. A. Van Horn retaining 200.
 Some idea of the value of Imperial Valley farming lands may be had when it is known that of the 200 acres, l 60 of it in alfalfa is rented for $10 per acre, another 20 acres is leased to Japanese for $15.00 and is planted i'll onions, which are to be out of the ground by May first, at which time MT. Van Horn intends putting the 20 acres into cotton. This same 20 acres was leased for five months last year at the same rental, $15.O0 per acre, giving total revenue for 12 months of $30.00 per acre. Ten acres of the ranch are set out to two-year- old apricot trees and they will have con- siderable fruit on this year.
 The dairymen who rent the 160 acres also rent about 25 head of MT. Van Horns cows paying $2.0O a month each for them.
 Coming into the valley, from Ari- zona, 8 years ago with practically nothing, MT. Van Horn has developed his ranch into one of the finest in the valley. He owns a big Winton touring car and has all the advan- tages of urban life, telephone service, etc. His success has been due to untiring efforts properly directed

Farmers Problems
New Conditions Gall For New Methods
 and Experiments.
By Walter E. Packard

The future of the Imperial Valley is hard to predict. Fifty years ago, when the Colorado Desert was bar ren waste, a menace to travel and a death trap for many, it would have have taken prophet of considerable vision to have pictured it as a richly productive farming section, green the year round with luxurant crops. And similarly it would require a vivid i'm agination to try to describe the valley as it will be before many years have passed, when the land will be held in small tracts and intensely cultivated.

New var ieties of cotton may be tried out. Date seeds of different varieties are to be planted and some work may be start ed developing a better grain in the dent and Egyptian varieties of corn. Work will also be done in collecting data on the experiments already car ried on by the farmers and an effort will be made to disseminate the in- formation thus obtained
Imperial Valley press., 1910-03-12

Experiments must be made to deter mine the best seasons for planting and harvesting the particular crops that do best, the varieties most adapt ed'to conditions and the most efficient method of handling them, The seed must be improved, stock must be
 bred up The insects already here must be controlled in some way. the rigid examinations by the Horticul- tural Commission, preventing any im- portations, should be continued and then the valley will begin to show more fully what 1t is able to produce.
 Outside of the water supply which need not be considered here, the need for an adequate drainage system is the most important item in the big
Imperial Valley press., 1910-03-12

things that will have to be done In the future. The need is not evident now except on a small scale, but when this valley is divided up into 10 to 40 acre tracts, and all of the land irrigated, the need of drainage to prevent the rise of ground water too near the surface and the dangerous &C., cumuation of alkali will be clear. The deep cut channels of the Alamo and New Rivers will then prove to he blessing The drainage problem, however, is task for the future.
 The economic problem of how best to market the products is another big question, and that will probably be answered by cooperation, which should not be hard in valley so unified by natural surroundings as this is
 Just at present there is plenty to be done in working out the immediate problems. The selection and improve ment of plants best adapted to condi- tions which obtain here is perhaps the most important work to be carried on now. Crops can probably be grown here that can be grown in very few places in the United States and the profits should consequently be great, if the market is good The seasons are so radically different from those in other sections, that many crops, especially truck stuff, can undoubtedly be grown out of the ordinary season, fand profits from these crops conse- uuently increased. There are great possibilities in the line of early and late marketing, and such, when work ed out, will be of great value to the | farmer.
 Many farmers have been eXperi- menting, in fact have had to experi- ment, and the results that have been secured will prove very valuable. If the State sees fit to establish an ex- perimental farm, as it probably will do, these various lines of work will be taken up by the farm management.

AS much work as possible will be done with the money already apprO- priated. Different varieties of alfalfa will be tested. From experiments al ready made, the Arabian alfalfa seems to be superior to the native variety in yield and especially in quality, but crop will provide this humus and more work along this line and in con- nection with winter pasturing, beg and dairy feeding, is needed.

 The first churnjns made at a cream cry was the small amount Of S2 pounds of butter. this in the autumn Of 1908, when there were two dairymen to pro duce those 32 pounds Now there are nearly 200 dairymen producing over 5000 pounds of butter a day.

And they are, for with the exceptionally .ong season, the abundance of sun shine, the rich soil, and with water for irrigation, the farmer is favored as in few localities.
 He must however learn how to take advantage of the climate, before the best returns can be expected. There are many problems to be worked out, some of which may be solved quickly while others, such as insect control, which will be of great importance, will take time and constant work.
