TRIP TO 1MpER1A1 VALLEY


The Post is in receipt of the fonsw-
ing interesting communication from H.
L. Edgerton of Carbondale, now sojourn
ing in California for the winter with
Mrs. Edgerton and their daughter, ISa,
in the interest of whose health the tip
was made: Tn" e., 'fSH
Ell Centro, California, Nov. 2s, 1914
Dear Friend Dickson
We have used all the day in this vi
cinity, 126 miles east of San Diego,
making the trip by auto. We are bere
with friends from Yakima valley, Wash
ingtou. They are travelling in their
Oakland Eight" which means plenty
of power and comfort.
I just can't begin to tell you the WOE
ders of this valley, "Imperial," its
vast size, its varied products and its
wonderful rich, alluvial SOIL
Some of the farmers are moving ani
stacking large quantities of alfalfa
while more are engaged in picking snd
ginning the great cotton crop and I am
reminded of the words of the Master
'The field is already white" for white
it surely is ,and it may also be said as
in olden time "and the laborers are
few,' while Others are following1fhe
calling of your humble servant, milk
ing the gentle COW, for this is q great
dairy country.
Ten miles south of here on the border
we found 1900 of Uncle Sam Is troops
and We were allowed to. cross over the
line for short drive. They have
fort of considerable size and a good
many soldiers. Dance halls, saloons
and gambling dens, with drunken men
lying around in them form the principal
part of their towns and villages.
The farmers are very happy and
prosperous. Their cotton is bringing
them 81 cents per pound in the bale
which means $135 per bale and the best
cotton yields two bales to the acre. 1t
is surely interesting to see the picking,
ginning and baling of this wonderful
crop.
tomorrow we expect to visit the
northern part of the valley which is
126 feet below sea level, and then drive
to Yuma, Arizona, 65 miles east of here.
Our daughter, Iva, is gaining every
day and has fairly cooked in the hot
sun until she is as red as an Indian,
The soldiers tell me it registered 14b
in. their tents last summer. It ISM as
hot as that right now, but plenty warm
enough, thank you.
I might write volumes about Barbsr,
worth IS desert. Some of the characters
In the story can be seen here in this
valley. But enough for this time.
Yours truly,
H: L. EDGERTON.
