STOCK TRAIN CHANGE
TWICE A WEEK HEREAFTER

Local Stockmen Say That Tuesday and
Friday Are Best Ship
ping Days.

Commercial Agent Sparks, the hust
ling representative of the Southern
Pacific Company in the Imperial Val
ley, informed local shippers of live
stock this morning that the stock
train service would be changed this
week. Instead of running three
trains, on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday, as in the past, twice a week
service will be substituted for the
present, on Monday and Wednesday
An attempt is being made to have
the order changed so that the service
will be on Tuesday and Friday, and
will probably succeed. The change, it
is believed. with Improvements
planned, will give as good or better
satisfaction than the old arrangement.

h. l.. Allen Of Lawrence, Kan., Big
Corn Man. Tells of Plan Of FL
nancing Brood Farmers.

After investigating every other hog
raising section in the United States
B. l.. Allen, owner of six big corn
ranches in Kansas, big hog buyer, has
become convinced that Imperial val
ley, because of its dry climate and
abundant alfalfa fields, is the best
natural breeding place for hogs.
Having come to that conclusion. Mr.
Allen, through Commercial Agent
Sparks, of the Southern Pacific, makes
an offer to any valley hog raiser who
desires to contract with him. He will
finance farmers, who want to enter the
hog business, or who are already rails
ing hogs. Mr.. Allen wants. feeder
hogs, to ship to Kansas, to fatten on
Kansas corn. =. That state is the best
fattening state. he says. but can't raise
the pigs as well as the valley farm
ers can, because of the cold, sloppy
weather. 4
j., Mr.. Allen, who has just shipped II
ears of feeder hogs to his ranchers,
is delighted. with the weather condi
tions here. Even in summer, he says
the valley climate is superior to the
damp, hot weather of Kansas, the hu-
midity being bad for the young pork

SUDAN SEED IN
GREAT DEMAND
TEXAS AND KANSAS WANT VAL
LEY GRASS SEED.
ASK THE FARM BUREAU
GOOD CHANCE FOR VALLEY
RAISERS IN INQUIRY.
Valley Excellent Place for the Raising
Of Seed for This Fodder,
Says MIR. Watkins.

Assistant Farm Adviser Watkins
has learned that the sudan grass crop
in Texas is practically a failure be-
cause of drought, and that Kansas is
also short of Sudan seed, and that
there is an excellent chance for su-
dan raisers to double their money by
selling seed.
The Menzelsdorf II Seed Company OF
Atchison, Kan, wants all the seet
that Imperial Valley can raise, accord
ing to letter received by Mr.. Wat
kins from that company. The Kansa:
crop will not make good seed this
year and the usual supply of the Kan
sas farmers in Texas is cut off by the
drought.
Mr.. Watkins, states that sudan
raised here yields heavily in seed, and
that 500 pounds to the acre is about
a fair average. By threshing the sh-
dan farmer can realize heavily on the
Texas and Kansas shortage.

FRENCH REJOICE OVER CAP
TURE OF RAIDERS.
Swiss Newspapers Believe Germany
Will Look to Some Other Type
of Aircraft for Bombing.
(By Associated Prsss)

Paris, Oct. 23.-The opinion Of mil
itary experts is that the loss of four
of the latest type of German Zeppe-
lin airships to the French yesterday
means that the construction of more
of the Zeppelins will be stopped by
the Germans and that another type of
airship will be used. Each of the
Zeppelins cost half a million dollars.
An examination of the crew OF the
Zeppelin captured intact within the
French lines shows that thirteen left
singly from three depots on October
10 for raid over England expected
to last more than twenty hours.
British aircraft guns considerably
hampered the raiders and caused them
to drop their bombs at height of
10000 feet, doing little damage. When
they attempted return they were
caught by strong northeastern wind,
which slackened their speed. At dawn
the l. 40 was captured intact by the
French, the other three being shot
down within the French lines. The
commander of the LAO thought he was
over Holland or Westphalia. 1t was
not until o'clock that he ascertained
he was in France.

!. From well-informed persons it, was
Learned today that the Southern Pa
cifie company was considering a plan
for the routing Of through trains on
its Los Angeles New Orleans line
through the center of the valley, in
stead Of through INLAND only.
That this plan has excellent chances
of final retaliation was stated today
by railroad officials, but that a pre-
mature publication of certain details
might block the deal, it was stated.
If the plan carries, two trains a day
in each direction between Los Angeles
and Yuma will run through the val
ley, and all but one train will make
stops in Ell Centre, it is rumored.
The great convenience of improved
train service and the advertising value
of the new service will be worth a
million dollars year to the valley, Ell
Centro men stated this morning.
"But if we crow too soon," said a
prominent Ell Centre man this morn
ing, 'it may spoil the deal, so tread
softly on that news item."
