BROOKS SECURES
DUROC- C-JERSEYS
NEW HOG RAISING CONCERN
. GETS A GOOD START.
M o DEL HOG FARM
BUYS THREE RANCHES IN THE
HOLTVILLE SECTION.
Believes That Raising of Pork Will
Beat Cotton or Taking
Land Entries.

Three hundred and sixty brood sow>
of the Duroc Jersey breed have been
bought by the syndicate which recent
ly bought three large ranches south
of Holtville and is equipping them
for extensive raising of hogs, it was
announced yesterday by Phil w
Brooks.
Mr.. Brooks is taking the active
management of the affairs of the syn
'dicate, which represents eastern cap
,ital.
The ranches bought are the J. D.
McCarey place, the John Zenos ranch
and the Yount ranch, all adjoining
III the Southside district.
Extensive improvements are nov
under way, it was announced by Mr.
Brooks, including the installation ol
complete automatic watering system
for the hogs with water towers, build
ing of fences and erection of farrow
ing and feeding pens.
The syndicate, although buying ur
Duroc Jersey sows, does not intend
to go into the breeding business, Mr.
Brooks said. The idea will be to pro-
duse marketable pork with the least
possible feed and in the shortest pos
sible time.
"Our people believe the time has
come when we must raise livestock
in the Valley" he said. 1--WE must
get away from cotton and such other
things, for the time is coming when
the country will be hard up for meat.
We have selected the Duroc- Jersey
hogs because they promise more as
a commercial breed of hog than any
other, fattening with less feed in the
shortest possible time. We have se-
lected the Holtville section as 10
cation because it was possible to get
q large body of land here"

(By Associated Press)

Chicago, Oct. pa telegram
warning the people of the Middle

No sugar is now furnished the ar

England. Prices of sugar have risen
in some places to 20 cents per pound.
1t is announced that Western beet
sugar will be rushed to the Atlantic
states as soon as it is refined.
California will this year produce a
heavier tonnage of sugar than ever
before, and to that state the people

ook for relief within a few weeks.

Report of Engineer Hilcher of the

j. b. Hilcher, state engineer for the
Bureau of Sanitary Engineering and
representative Of the State Board of
Health for the district of Southern
California, yesterday completed an in
vestigation into conditions at the Ca
'leXico city water plant, which he has
been conducting during the week. He
has returned to Los Angeles.
The examinations of the water
were made for the benefit of FL Gem
tlo, to assist the city in determining
what is needed to give it better
water supply, The object Of the tests
conducted was to determine the eff
cheney Of the filtering system and
to learn the turbidity of the water at
different stages of the filtering pro-
cess.
The engineer found that the water
was generally muddy for a very short
time after the filtering plant ceased
TO operate, but that in five to eigh,
minutes later all traces of silt were
absent. He praised tn system very
highly and expressed the opinion tina,
few cities are being supplied with a!
good and pure drinking water as Ca

PATRIOTIC RESPONSE FROM THE
ENTIRE COUNTRY.
THIRD BILLION SOON
CAMPAIGN TO CONTINUE TWO
WEEKS MORE.
Soldiers in the American Camp Sub
scribe Thousands for the
Issue of Bonds.
THIRD BILLION SOON

Washington, Oct. 20.-Treasury of
ficials announced that the total of
Liberty Loan subscriptions will
amount to $4,000, ,OO2, 900 tonight.
The campaign for bond selling is
just getting started in many centers
and it is believed that the third bill
lion will be added in one weeks time
The campaign will go on until the
bonds are oversubscribed at least a
billion.
A dispatch from the American camp
in France states that American sol
diers have subscribed several million
dollars to the loan issue. The cam
paign for subscriptions among the mer
is still in progress. The total sub
scriptions are to be announced ir
Washington after the list is closed in
France.
Major General Pershing made a pa
triotic appeal in behalf of the loan
The keenest rivalry developed among
the regiments. One battery of field
artillery numbering 32 men subscribed
$4,000.
Particularly in rural communities
subscriptions are not coming in rap
idly" the treasurer announced. ODE
layed sales of cotton and bad weather
are blamed for the poor showing in
the eastern part Of the South. The
outlook is good in other sections of
the country closing the week with two
billions subscribed. McAdoos threat
to prosecute persons attempting to
impede progres osf the loan by with
drawal of deposits from banks buying
bonds, has had salutary effect, many
who formerly opposed the loan be-
coming subscribers"

Farm Bureau Propaganda in Favor of

WANT BARLEY SEEDED

Despite the selfish efforts of some
valley interests to kill the Farm Blu
reau's proganda for wheat planting
many hundred acres of wheat are be-
ing seeded in the valley. The oppo-
sition to the enterprise comes from
those who make money out of barley
raising.
County Farm Adviser C. E. Sulli-
van has arrived and is making de-
termined effort to greatly increase
the planting of wheat this year. He
ennounces today that Mr.. Wilkinson,
wheat specialist of the University of
California Agricultural Division, will
be here next week to instruct wheat
raisers on the elimination of smut
gems from their seed. He will also
instruct planters on other phases of
wheat raising.
f. w. Cuff, seed man, of BrawIey,
has just received a carload of So
nora seed wheat, which he is selling
to many North End farmers who are
putting in large tracts of wheat.
Among them are Meredith Wills and
j. l.. Taecker. Many farmers near
Meloland are taking up wheat plant
ing.
Bob Ralston, assistant state elader
for boys pig clubs, will be here soon
to start new pig clubs and take ac-
count of the progress of those already
instituted.
A squirrel and gopher eradication
specialist is also on his way here,

VOCELL SOUGHT
M|NC'S s WIFE
SAYS ATTORNEY
FIRST CAUSE FOR COLD-BLOOD-
ED MURDER SUGGESTED.
TRIAL is OVER TODAY
JURY NOW OUT AFTER LONG
ARGUMENTS THIS MORNING.
District Attorney Nichols Believes
That VOgel Slew Ming to
Win His Wife.
BULLETIN, 3:15 p. NJ.


VOgel was found guilty of muir
der in the first degree after the
. jury had deliberated a little over
Two hours. Judge Cole sentenced
him to life Imprisonment in San
Quentin.
Did John Vogel kill Joe Ming be-
cause he coveted Mings wife?
This belief was expressed this
morning in the final arguments of
the case by District Attorney Mich
OILS, who stated that in his belief Vo-
gel, in cold blood. slew his friend
Joe, because he feared that his de-
signs were being defeated
This is the first motive for the
staying yet presented in the trial, the
first hint of possible reason for
the shooting of Ming, who lived in
what appeared to be quiet and
friendly circle of Swiss ranchers
southwest of the city.
At noon today, Judge Cole charged
the jury with their final instructions,
and they adjourned to the jury room
to decide he fate of Vogel. On pure
ly circumstantial evidence, and on
what is held as the deathbed confes-
sion OF Ming, the site has built up
its case against the Swiss farm hand
No single circumstances that sur
rounded the mysterious shooting
points directly at Vogel, excepting
the accusation of the dead man, bu,
the chain of circumstances does, in
the opinion of the state, convict Vo.
gel.
Final arguments lated from 8 this
morning until noon. The courtroom
was crowded with Swiss and MANY
local people interested in the mystic
rious case. Mrs. Ming, dressed in
black, and nervous, sat listening to
the talk she could not understand,
She has been present at the trial
daily, but has remained inconspicu-
ously in the crowd of the courtroom
or in the corridors of the court
house.
The jury probably will return a
verdict before night.
