HOG SERUM CAN Be HAD
At EXPERIMENT FARM

In order that the hog raisers in Inn
perial valley. who desire serum from
the state experiment station at the
university, may avoid the loss of time
necessary to ship it from Berkeley to
the valley, the station will attempt to
keep some serum on hand at the
branch station at Meloland. Walter
f. Packard, superintendent of the
Meloland station, will have charge Of
the distribution from that point. Hog
raisers should apply to Mr.. Packard
before ordering from Berkeley Melo-
land can be reached conveniently by
the car line from any town in the
valley. Before going to Meloland IT
would be best to telephone the sta
tion to find out whether or not a
sufficient supply is on hand. In case
there is no supply at Meloland appli-
cation should be made to the veterin-
ary department of the university in
the usual way. Express charges are
not a part of the cost of production
and are not paid by the serum sta
tion. In order that there be no dis
elimination, and that the express
charges be equally shared between
those who may obtain serum from the
Meloland station and those who may
have to send to Berkeley for serum
to each cubic centimeter of serum
will be charged, in addition to the
regular price Of two cents, the correct
proportion of the express charges, de-
termined by the cost of the entire
shipme ent at each time.
Mr.. Packard will keep office hours
at the experiment farm every day
but Sunday from 1 p. m. to 8 p. M
Any one desiring serum can get it
by applying in person, or, if neces-
sary, by phone. Shipments will be
sent to Holtville on the 2:15 car and
to Ell Centre on the $40 car.

The largest actual increase in use
of water is shown in No l and the
next in No. 5, but the percentages of
increase are as follows: No. /, 67; No.
A. So; No. 5, 13O; No. 6. 364; No. 7, 113;
No. 8, 142; No. ~, 296. The total de-
Hveries, ignoring fractions, were:
August, 1910, $4,000 acre feet; August
1912, $4,000 acre feet. That relates on
ly to the seven principal companies
and does not include water used by
several small companies recently or
ganized. The grand total of deliveries
OF August, 1912, is given by the c. ID.
Co. as 92,5O0 acre feet. an increase of
$4,000 acre feet over August, 1910
Deliveries for August, 1911, totaled 67,
900 acre feet. This shows an increase
for 1911 over 1910 of 60 per cent; for
1912 over 1911 of 81 per cent, and for
1912 over 1910 of 120 per cent.
The area of land served by August
deliveries may be computed approx
mately from the basis of No. Is known
irrigated area of 100000 acres. From
this it may be assumed safely that the
average duty of an acre foot of water
in the month is three acres of land.
The result in acres of increased area
of irrigated land for each company is
as follows: No. 1, Al, ,9O4; No. 4, 1897;
No. 5, 37,S45; No. 6, 1851; No T. 1888;
No. 8, 1916; No. IL, 6591. In the ag-
gregate the area irrigated in August,
1910, was 126,000 acres; in August,
1912, it was 25S,OOO acres, according to
deliveries to the seven companies, or
277,5OO acres, according to the larger
total given by the c. d. Co, which may
include Mexican users.
This remarkable showing is to be
accounted for partly by actual exten-
sion of reclamation of land and partly
by developed use of land already un-
der cultivation, but it all means in
crease in crop production.
In the carly stages of reclamation
OF desert claim, the settler usually
grows out one crop, generally barley,
and uses no water in the summer He
has all he can do to put his land into
irrigable condition and make his an
nual proof. and barley crop is the
most readily grown on new land When
he puts in alfalfa or grows a second
crop. which usually is corn. he uses
water in the summer The water de-
h'erS HSufeS therefore indicate a
large increase in alfalfa and corn
acreage, as well as extension of the
total cultivated area of the valley.
1t is conservative to compute the
present cultivated aud crop producing
area in Imperial valley at 900
acres. Completion of the East High
Line canal and construction of the
Bernice dam will add 131 900 acres,
and within few years the whole 4OO,-
900 acres irrigable from the present
main system will be under cultivation
and producing crops.

the viper killer of Dollon, in the

one of the snakes against which he

Sausserau, who was 46 years old,
had killed about 1000 vipers this sea-

known throughout the department. He
died within twelve hours after he was
bitten, although he obtained medical
treatment almost at once
Saussereau's fame was probably
only equaled by Henri Auvray of Ton

pers and thus won the prizes offered
by his municipality. He is said to
have killed more than 5000 in a sea-
