Spineless Cactus

Hon. David Grifiths, Agricuturist of Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. c., visited our
cactus ranch on North Side Tract So, IA S., Is E.,
yesterday, where we have just finished planting
about $4,000 plants on nearly twenty acres. Mr..
Griffiths says that cactus is as good quality
as can be secured anywhere at any price. He is of
the pronounced opinion that Imperial Valley is the
place for an immense production OF cactus; that it
can be grown here with the greatest success, and
that cactus fed with small amount of cottOnseed
meal or dry alfalfa hay makes balanced ration
and is unexcelled a food for dairy stock.
He practically approved the statements and
claims we have been making in our advertisements.
II takes the place of alfalfa as a stock food and,
as its yield is much greater, it is about like get
ting a new kind of alfalfa that yields four five
times as much per acre as the kind now grown.
He also stated that our twenty-acre field was
the largest heldOf any he knows Of
As Mr. Griffiths is the highest authority on cac-
tus in the country, his statements should be reliable
He promised 10 come again to note progress.
Parties interested should go and see this field
and watch its progress and when ready to plant
see US before giving your orders. We will make low
prices for plants grown our own lands and where
YOU can select your own stock from the field and
know just what you will get.
