MAKE WAR ON SPARROWs
This Is Advice Coming From State Horticultural Commission to Inn
 perial County

w. E. wilsie, Imperial County Hor- acultural Commissioner, recently sought the advice of the State Horti- cultural Commission as to whether the English sparrows that came to El Gen. fro a few weeks ago are likely to prove pest here if allowed to re- main. In response to his inquiries, Mir Wilsie has received this week a letter from the State Commissions office which says:
 If you are sure there are only six English sparrows in El Centro, you had better organize a vigilance com-. mittee and get them at once. Mir Jeffrey is at present in Los Angeles but 1 know he would join me in say ing that these sparrows are the worst pest in the bird line ever introduced into California. It is absolutely i'm possible to get rid of them after they are once firmly established. They vill eat practically any vegetation from embryo fruit down to lettuce or peas. They drive all other birds away and this in itself is a great misfor- tune, as many of our California spe- cies are very beneficial.
 q would advise getting some dust shot and killing them at once. Those six sparrows will soon multiply into many hundreds, as they have several broods a year 1 do not know of any way of poisoning them, as I have been making experiments and have met with very little success. A gun with dust shot is the best and quickest way"
 The English sparrow may be an omnivorous nuisance, but it is not a fact that he drives all other birds away. That charge has been made so often that everyone presumes it to be proven, but careful observation dis proves it. Only a few species of the smaller birds are molested by the sparrow. One robin is enough to buffalo a whole brigade of the Brit ishers, and the nut -haches, orioles, thrushes, grackles, vireos, cardinals. tanagers and even chickadees pay no attention to them. Any bird now in the valley can hold its own against the sparrow, and it is a question if che newcomer would not do more good as an insect eater than harm as a fruit pest. Ed Press.l

REMARKABLE PROGRESS
State Commissioner of Horticulture Expresses Satisfaction Over Re-
 port of County's Development

J. w. Jeffrey, State Commissioner of Horticulture, in a letter to Im- perial County's Horticultural Commis- sioner, w. E. Wilsie, expressed his gratisfcation at the good reports go- ing out from this county. MT. Jef- frey says:
 T have overlooked acknowledging the receipt of the report of the Im- perial County Horticultural Commis- sion for 1909. This is the most com plete report ever turned into this of fee by a county Horticultural Con- mission, and for which you certainly have the thanks of this office.
 The most remarkable progress shown here has never been approach ed before in the State in the same length of time. You certainly de- serve great credit for the complete ness of this report as we'll as for the authenticity of it's contents"
Imperial Valley press., 1910-03-19


 Well, I didn't see him myself-but I have it on good authority that he will accept" replied Blackinton.
 Hamilton urged that the matter be postponed, but Blackinton urged the emergency of the matter.
 President Pearson took occasion to urge the appointment, stating that he had been told by MT. Perry that the City Engineer and MT. Perry could give the city as good a system as any one, and that home talent should be em- ployed.
 Trustee Hamilton finally was arous- ed to some plain talking. "There's no need of railroading this thing through" he declared to Trustee Blackinton. That is just what you are trying to do, and there is absolutely no need of it. Let us consult with MT. Perry | before we take the stand of giving a man a job that he says he won't take, |"
 Trustee Pellet said that as long as the present board had carried mat ters through to their present status he thought 1t should go ahead and make the appointments.
 Trustees Hamilton and Brown urged that the matter be postponed at least until the adjourned session of the Board, to be held the next forenoon. Blackinton exhibited great alarm lest the city's interests should suffer by this delay, as there was so much work to be done,
 Finally the programme was broken sufficiently for Pellet to pluck up cour- age to second Hamilton's motion for a postponement, and the matter went over until Thursday,
 On Thursday morning the board met, signed a contract for drilling a test well, canyassed the returns of the primary election and adjourned with out taking up the Blackinton resolu- ton. Pellet was absent and the scheme could not be worked.
