Pacific, who has just returned from
a trip through the ella valley He
says the valley has splendid cream
cry which is suffering from lack or
milk and at the same time the val
ley has more hay than il can profit

The maintenance Of dairy herds on
the alfalfa lands is much more prof
liable, says Barnes. than making hay
for sale, and requires no more labor.
He has found that the chief obstacle
In the ella valley seems TO be a pref
erence TO raise alfalfa for the reason
that it is a staple, settled crop, easily
cultivated and sure.
Barnes cites the experience Of the
Yuma farmers. =. F. Sanguinetti,
Yuma capitalist, purchased a very
large herd Of thoroughbred dairy
cows in the east shipped them to
Yuma, and offered to give them away

gage in dairying, the only condition
TO be that they were to give him a
portion Of the milk for use in his
