more so because of the cheapness with
which milk can be produced here
Six to nine tons of alfalfa is pro-
duceo in a year to the acre, and there
is never the expensive care for live
stock that is necessary in a stormy coun-
try. This tends to increase the yield
per. COW at the same time it reduces
the cost.
AS vet little effort has been made to
meet the demands other than for but
ter, for the reasons that about Los
Angeles there are still enough dairies
to about meet the need for cream,
while. in spite of the low cost of pro-
duction, the butter market is so high
as to make valley milk too valuable to
can or to manufacture into cheese.
There is no better Illustration of the
profit, in the dairy business here than
the fact that in no other section where
the cost of production is much greater
the price of butterfat is so much lower
that milk can be used in these ways
which are not considered practicable
here as yet.
One of the questions which must be
considered is the effect of the climate
on the stock, and after giving much
study to this question, l must assure
YOU that all kinds of live stock here
thrive as l have never known them to
do elsewhere The climatic conditions
are ideal for early development. as
there is no severe weather to stunt
them.
The character of the live stock here
is the most varied Imaginable You
will find some of the finest animals in
the country, and some of the poorest.
This natural in n country building as
rapidly as this is, but the tendency is
Cor rapid improvement in the character
of the Stock and all the natural factors
are contributing to this end.
The possibilities of the dairy industry
n Imperial valley are so great that I
hardly dare trust myself to put into
words my real opinion, but because of
the natural conditions. I can say with
safety that l believe, when the indus
try has been reduced to scientific meth
dds. the net profits here will be at
least double those in the same industry
anywhere in the middle west, the east
or the old south
These are facts for you % ponder over
end to act on according to your own
judgment. Affectonately. your

Subscriber GETS Benefit

The. ordinary newspaper for delivery,
soliciting and collecting and in failures
to collect loses 66 per cent of the sub
scription money. The Daily Press, by
requiring cash in advance in every case,
avoids all losses and all expense of col
lecting. BY letting Uncle Sam do most
of the delivering it saves greatly. This
low price and high character of the pa
per are the only solicitors. This is the
policy that makes possible the Great
Dollar Daily and this is why no name
is entered on our subscription list with
out cash in advance and why all SUBJ
scriptions are stopped at the expiration
of the time paid for. If
