THE WATER QUESTION.

Gmperial Valley Homestead.)
 There is one thing that the people of the Valley. old and young, men and women, and everybody should do without delay and that is to take steps to provide means to get posted on our water question" The lamenta- ble ignorance displayed by some peo- pie who ought to know better about even some of the simplest questions involved in water affairs incites the astonishment of great many visitors to the valley The Imperial Valley Press has so far shown iE our esti- nation a most consistent attitude on the water question, especially since the inception of the district irrigation plan We have taken the trouble on various occasions to send to some of our personal friends who we were sure were not subscribers to the Press. marked copies of that journal just because of the broad and com prehensive manner in which it has generally sought to promote a just and honest conception of all the issues involved.
 Unlike some of his competitors, the Editor has spared no pains to inform himself at first hand on all sides of the question and has not lodged the issues involved in any way-putting them up squarely to the public with out fear or favor. We also wish to commend the attitude of the Holt vile Tribune, it being liberal. broad minded.

ALFALFA SEED PAYS WELL.

w. B. Cloyd, of the valley, has placed on exhibition in the pagoda of the Commercial Club at the Southern Pacific depot a bunch of Peruvian al falfa on which the seed has almost ripened, says the Yuma Sun. This is from the second crop which Mir Cloyd has raised on the same land this year. The first crop produced 500 pounds to the acre and much of it has been sold at fifteen cents per pound which means ali income of ninety dollars per acre. The second crop which will be ready to cut within a few days will make equally as much as did the first. It is should bring as much money as the first brought, and it probably will bring more, the two crops will net Mir. Cloyd $1SO per acre. In addition to this Mr Cloyd gets from the same land several crops of alfalfa for the hay and has hay left from each threshing. The land which he has planted to Peruvian alfalfa will net him about $25O per acre this year It is nice clean crop to handle and the work connected with it is not hard. It is very doubtful if any crop can be grown here that will give better re- turns than the growing of alfalfa seed for the market. Mir. Cloyd has set high mark for his neighbors to shoot at during the next season.

CITRUS GROWERS CONVENTION
"Heslthy Trees" will be the Subject Of Conference of Citrus
 Fruit Growers.

How to cultivate healthy trees will be the main subject that will come up before the citrus growers conven. tion at Pomona next Tuesday.
 As entomologists work out the in- sect problem and the growers the treatment of the varied soils of diff ferent localities, which seem to be the two greatest problems and concerning which, as yet, there seems to be no set rules, J. W. Jeffrey, state commits sioner of horticulture, conceived the idea of bringing together both sci entists and practical growers in this convention to discuss the matter
 Experience of the growers will be compared and scientific men will give their views, thus cooperating, and it is expected that conclusions will be reached that will help materially in the cultivation of healthy trees.
 The Pomona Board of trade has an nounced that it intends to give an automobile trip through the valley surrounding Pomona.
 The following growers and scientific men will read papers as indicated:

FINE DATE SPECIMENS.

Bruce Drummond director of the U. s. Government Experimental Sta tion at Indio, passed through Coach ella Saturday morning returning from one of his regular visits to the gov ernment date gardens at Mecca, says the Coachella Valley News.
 MT. Drummopd has not lost one whit of his enthusiasm over the date as the coming fruit for this valley. On the contrary the present year has served only to strengthen his faith in date culture in Coachella Valley. The fruit at Mecca has ripened each year earlier than it did the previous year. As the trees age, they mature their fruit earlier and this is a good thing as it prevents the fruit being damaged by the humid weather we often have in the fall last year, MT. Drummond said, some trouble was experienced at Mecca by the cracking of the outer skin on the fruit on account of the humidity in the atmosphere. This year has proved the correctness of his theory that when the trees become older this trouble would disappear. This year the fruit is maturing earlier and no cracking of the fruit has taken place
