WORK IN FULL PROGRESS
At EXPERIMENTAL FARM
New Buildings Completed and Occu.
pied-Tree and Grain Planting On;
Plans Made for "Opening Day"

The state experiment farm for I'M
perial valley, located at Meloland, in
about the geographical center of the
irrigated section of the valley, is now
in full running order, and is attract
ing much attention from the progress
i've ranchers of the valley.
The new buildings were completed
last week and are now occupied. They
include a residence for the superin-
tendent, Walter S. Packard; an office
and laboratory building; a house for
farm employees, and a barn. A 5000
gallon tank has been installed on &
tower for a water system at the build
ings, and an electric motor is used for
power. The Holton Power Company
has constructed a transformer station
at Meloland, so that besides furnish
ing power to the experiment farm it
will be able to provide electric light
ing for the buildings and those of 9th
ers in that vicinity.
Mr. Packard is planning for an
"Opening day" at the farm early in
May, at which time the valley farmers
will be invited to gather at the farm
and become familiar with just what is
being done and the scope of work to
be undertaken during the ensuing sea-
son. At the time of this opening day
the Imperial Valley Boys Agricultural
Club will also be the guest of the
experiment farm. The Sc members of
this boys club are enthusiastic over
their new work, and most of them have
entered the contest for the production
of half-acre plots of Egyptian cotton

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS
ON Ell CENTRO CITY PARK
Lands Leveled and Bordered and Will
Be Planted to Eucalyptus and
Pepper Trees During April

A decided change has taken place in
the appearance of the city park land,
in the northern part Of Ell Centro, dur
ing the past few days. Men with
teams and Fresnos have leveled the
land and have divided it up into
lands between each intersecting
and borders have been placed
around each tract. The land is now
ready for tree planting, and during the
ensuing month eucalyptus and peppers
will be planted in conformity with a
plan adopted by the city trustees and
park advisory committee.
1t is probable that the land will be
planted to alfalfa this season, as this
will give pleasing green sward until
the trees are large enough to be of
use for shade.
1t is planned to irrigate the tracts
by carrying in water from the No. /
ditch than runs along the north side
of the park land. This will do away
with the necessity of carrying water
under the street surfaces.

this season. Mr.. Packard has distrib-
uted to these boys fifty 10-pound sacks
OF selected and acclimatized Egyptian
cotton seed from the government eX-
pertinent station at Bard.
At the farm at Meloland Mr.. Pack
ard has set out $50 varieties of Egyp-
tlan and Persian grapes, several Of
them in sufficient quantities so that
shipping experiments may be made
with the fruit as the vines mature. AS
Wlndbreaks, go Smyrna fig trees have
been planted through the vineyard.
Sixty varieties of deciduous fruit
trees have been planted, including
pears, peaches, apricots, plums and
ounces, and next week twelve varie-
ties of citrus fruits will be set out
There are now sixteen varieties Of
barley maturing on the farm, and next
week series of rotation experiments
in alfalfa planting will be started. The
planting of Egyptian cotton will also
begin on the farm next week, and all
Ehases of irrigation and cultivation
will be carefully studied in connection
with the maturing of this crop. Al!
this data will be carefully compiled so
as to be of service to the Imperial val
ley ranchers.

COMMISSION CUTS RATES
IN SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY

lBG UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS1
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S-A de-
cision was reached today by the state
railroad commission to adjust freight
rates into the San Joaquin valley from
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Stockton
and Sacramento and rates between
valley points. This will save shippers
100000 to $S00O00 annually.
The decision which was reported is
the most voluminous volume ever re-
turned by rate making body, and
reduces the tariff from Los Angeles,
San Francisco and the other cities to
points between Los Angeles and Ba-
kersfield on the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe, affecting practically entire
Southern California
The action leading to the decision
was instituted by the Traffic Associa-
ton of San Francisco and the Mer-
chants Exchange of Los Angeles and
trade bodies of Stockton and Sacra-
mento intervened as interested bodies.
One important phase of the hearing
was the contest of San Francisco and
Los Angeles for trade advantage BY
the decision both centers gain reduc-
tiOns. Under the old rates the line to
which Los Angeles and the southern
terminal points could. ship with rates
equal TO northern terminals was De
lano, Fresno county. TIE new rule
moves the line a few miles south to
Bakersfield, extending the field for
northern terminals

METHODIST PROTESTANTS I'LL
WESTMINSTER.

For seventy-five years the Metho-
dist Protestant congregation has
maintained It's existence in this COM
munity. To go back three quarters
of century brings one to q period
not within the recollection of many of
us who are living today. 1t was then
that the few Methodist Protestants
in this town formed themselves into
congregation that, since then, has
not only lived but has Influenced to
a great extent the history of this
place.
When another seventy-five years
shall have passed there will be even
more and better things to be said of
the church's history than could have
been said by DR.. Herring the other
day The roll o. honor will be long
er and its new names will be as lus-
trous as any now written there. The
spirit shown by those who have had
the anniversary celebration in charge
il the same that organized the church
seventy-five years ago.
It was splendid celebration ir
every respect and there can be nc
doubt that it had, and will continue
to have a beneficial effect on the large
membership of that congregation.

NOBEL PRIZE IN SURGERY.

The work of DIR. Carrel, this years
Nobel prize winner in medicine and
surgery, il discussed in the Lancet.
He is recognized as having thoroughly
followed in the pathwhich the achieve
ments Of Lister opened to the world,
and as having accomplished that which
already bestowed benefit upon the
human race and which will continue
to bestow more Much of his work
is, of course, too technical for lay un-
derstanding.
His first important demonstrations
were in the surgery Of the vascular
system. 1t had been supposed to be
impossible to sew or otherwise to join
the ends of a severed artery, or even
to close, with a suture, cut or pune
ture in the side of one, except by ex-
posing a ligament. Less than ten
years ago it was argued before surgi-
cal societies, that any attempt to sew
together the cut ends Of a blood YES
sci was doomed to failure. DIR. Car
rel has successfully demonstrated the
practicability of the operation, the
requisite conditions being perfect
asepsis and skillful, delicate technique.
From that he proceeded to demon
strate the practicability of replacing
an injured or lost section of an ar
terry or vein with a piece of another
vessel, and this remarkable operation
Is now recognized in practice.
The practicability of thus trans
planting portions Of the vascular sys-
tenn suggested to him the possibility
Iof performing the same marvellous
process with other organs, and his
experiments in that direction met with
gratifying success. Several Of thu
vital organs, especially the kidneys
have been transplanted from one ami
NAL to another of the same species
and they have performed their natu
raj functions as perfectly as though
they had always belonged there. i
has been shown also that section o
a blood vessel may be removed
, from one animal, b. kept for som,
; days or even weeks in cold storag,
, and then b. successfully implanted II
another animal, even in one Of anothe
species and in another part of the cir
Iculatory system Where these oper
tations were performed on human
! subjects "a success equal to that II
the case OF animals has been attained
The possibilities of such practice ar'
J great indeed, and they proclaim thei
| discoverer a benefactor to the race

SELECTING A SUCCESSOR TO THE
LATE SENATOR RAYNER.

While freely conceding the right OF
Governor Goldsborough to select a
Republican for Senator Rayner's va
cant seat in the U. S. Senate, we
modest1y suggest the appointment of
General Felix Agnus as happy solu-
ton of the vexed problem that con-
fronts him. His long and faithful
service to his party supplemented
with every necessary qualification,
together with the possession of GER
tain special advantages which he
could effectively utilize to good
purpose would make his appointment
an ideal one; and we think we haz-
ard nothing when we add, would sat
isfy larger portion Of his party than
any other that could be made.
The Generals conspicuous career
in the field of Republican journalism
in Maryland would at once give him
such standing and influence with his
party associates i'm the Senate as no
other could acquire in the brief per-
iod allotted tothe appointment. There
fore, it would seem that his selection
at this time would do much for the
best interests of the State, and the
Strengthening of his party.
Then, too, like the late Senator
Rayner, he halls from Baltimore city,
which represents nearly half the
population of the State, and more
than half it's wealth, a consideration
which should be given due weight,
and not lightly ignored.
Moreover, General Agnus Is a vet
eran of the war for the preservation
of the Union, which, although hither-
to, has won him no civic honors at
the hands of his party, should, at
least in this instance, not be treated
as disqualification
This suggestion is made in good
faith, looking to no party advantage,
but with an earnest desire that this
short term shall not be fruitlessly be-
slowed, and measures in which the
State may be vitality interested mis-
managed, or at best, delayed
