One of the speakers at the linz
nois Horse Breeders association
said that one reason for the fact
that our farm horses are not as
good as they ought to be is the
scarcity Of good. useful sires. APP
proximately half the stations stand
ing for public service in this coun-
try are grades and scrubs and half
the pure breds ought never to have
been used as sires. The stallion
shown is a pure bred Percheron.

Keep Eggs Clean.

Provide roomy, clean nests. There
should be at least one nest for every

Dirty eggs, 70 matter how large and
fresh, are always graded as seconds

keep them in cool, dry place all tie
time until they are sold. Use the small.
dirty Or cracked eggs at home Small
eggs are just as wholesome for food
as large ones.

KIND WORDS FROM MAN WHO STARTED OUR
 PROJECT.
Yum May IA, 1917.


 Editor SentinsI Af,Ar an absenct of ten years have had the pleasure of returning Yuma and looking the project, the installation of which sisted.
 Formerly the drive through the crush over very rough and dusty roads from Yuma the Mexican line days task Excepting the farms of few pioneers like Mr. Winsor ST., there few improvements. The Ludy ditch which designed to rrigate the valley was conduit in only. It's intake normally closed by sandbar The floods each year swept the Yuma valley except its higher spots and the river channel meandered at will like untamed wild beast The trip made today with Project Manager Schlecht revelation and de- light The road is the best have in the west The fields o alfalfa cotton and grain cannot be exceed in any part of arid America The country has the stamp of pros perity it that cannot be mistaken With present war prices for farm products the Yuma project line make its farmers independent.
 was pleased to see how we'll the great structures on the river performing their duty The equipment that the government has placed without your disposal for protecting the levees the substantial possible The landowners should especially appreciate this the protec ton of these eveeS vital to all and great expense that naturally desire to have assumed for you pepetuay These expenditures already have totaed $2OOOOOO.
 The future development that may be expected should exceed what has been accomplished the past The lands will be ntensvely cultivated Drainage should be provided in order to develop the highest efficiency for the projects The placing of water the assured providing stupid blunder does not prevent it.
 The quality of the grape fruit that is now produced there far excels any grown in California The growth of the city is especially gratifying We have found in r gated section of Southern California that an nhabtant supported to irrigated This includes the towns You should do half we'll and have 5OOOO people this project when it reaches its full working efficiency
 When l remember the hard work the strife that had to be and the dsappointments feel that they all have been brushed aside by the that has resulted from the combined efforts of the engineers and the far mers know that their combined efforts will carry you through to the final accomplishments that up as the ideal at the birth of the project.
