The growth.of the Imperial val
ley is wonderful and every one who
visits it remarks on its develop
nent from desert less than dozen
years ago. But with all its prog
ress there are still many problems
TO be settled. The great one at
the present moment is water. Wa

bringing forth riches, but the le
gal tangle in which ii has become
involved seems extremely hard to
Straighten out. Nearly two years
ago the voters registered their ap-
proval of an irrigation district, but
the old company which to certain
extent has control over the dis
tributing system and the hosts Of
creditors are at loggerheads to
such an extent that it looks to the
farmers as if every one of them
was attempting to hold up the
farm interests of the valley and
make them pay for all the blum
ders and some of the trickery of
the last dozen years. The farmers
say they will not stand for ii and
are waiting till justice can be Sc
cured.
The CultivatOr sees the litigation
over The Insolvency of the California
Development Company and the efforts
Of the people of the valley to find
a way to acquire the property of the
California Development Company. and
1t also sees the effort of claimants to
undeveIoped land to secure water ser

CONTEST SHOWS BETTER
CREAM is NECESSARY

Leon Davis of University Farm,
Davis, Call: The fact most forcibly
brought out by the scoring of the first
entries of the 1913 butter scoring con-
test and a subsequent examination of
the method blanks was that California
butter makers are not receiving the
grade o. cream which they should re-
ceive criticism for old, stale or
unclean flavor was made in varying
degrees on almost two-thirds of the
entries, and the average score OF the
entire lot was for this reason reduced
to COS, which is a lower average than
occurred at any scoring during 1872.
The entries numbered 26 less than
half the number of creameries which
should have been represented. and from

dications are that a number of butter

The old scores, as well as the aver
age, suggest that something must soon
be done to overcome the conditions
which result in quality of butter such
as was displayed in good number of
the entries. The most noticeable fea-
ture on the method blanks was the age
and conditions of the cream churned.
4 glance through these showed the
following reports Fair. one to four
days old" zone to six days, average
four days" "one to ten days" One
buttermaker reported mis- cream as be
ing delivered every other lay, but that
the flavor was poor, old and stale"
These are facts which are confront
ing butter makers everywhere, and
there must be exerted effort to over
come such conditions. Even where
cream is delivered daily, it is not al
ways of first grade. These faults can
be eliminated only through more at
tention on the part of the cream pro-
to bring about the change if they will
but exert it. The best butter, not
the most butter is a matter of which,

praises of DR.. Kilmer's swamp-Root.
For years 1 was troubled with kid

gave up all hope and doctors for
miles around gave me no help. In

From the first it gave me relief and
it was no time before l was able to
be up and around and now l am per-
