ALFALFA
SAYS STATEMENT
Hay Is Soaring to Forty Dollars, and
1t BenoOyes Every Farmer to Pro-
vide for Great Shortage This Year
.-Stockmen Must Have Feed, Even
at $40 per Ton.

One of the greatest problems in the
state today is the lack of hay for
immediate consumption. and despite
the late rainfall there is practically no
substantial relief for the future. With
oat and barley at the present time
selling in carload lots at S35 to $3S
a ton. and with alfalfa hay at the
present price Of S33 a ton, the feed
situation is critical
What is the consumer going to do?
He must have feed and if present
prices go any higher he can hardly
afford to buy it. What is the rem
edy? The immediate planting of al
falfa on every acre of land for which
7dequate irrigation water can be Sc
.ured. Competent authorities state
hat the rancher who plants alfalfa
2ow will reap greater profits than
have ever been made before with this
-ype of forage plant. The rancher
will have no competitor in feedstuffs
hcause there will be no competitor.
Even if vast acreage is at once
seeded to alfalfa. feed prices will
soar this year and next. according to
experts who are in position to know.
The state is facing a hay famine and
it is the duty of every grower to do
his bit to help out the situation. For
ty-dollar alfalfa hay is prophesied for
1918. 1t looks like big opportunity
for the farmer who has the right land
and water.

CALEXFCO
CITY MUST HELP
W|THFARM LABOR
By David F. Houston
(Secretary of Agricultural

Some time ago | issued state
ment concerning the farm labor prob
lem. 1t was pointed out that there
will be farm labor difficulties to
overcome this year as last, and that
in certain sections, especially in the
neighborhood of large industrial CEN
ters, the difficulties will be acute.
The lines Of effort were indicated
along which the Departments Of Ag
riculture and Labor, through repre-
sentatives in various states cooper
sting with the agricultural colleges
and other agencies, are working to
furnish assistance. Briefly restated,
these agencies are doing the following
things:
(a) Making survey of the farm
labor situation in each community
with a view to discovering possible
surpluses of labor in order to be ready
to assist in furnishing labor where
ever it is needed.

tor in English and history IN the Uni
yerSity Farm School at Davis. at pres.
ent assisting Professor Adams in his
farm labor survey.
In this report two facts are clearly
Indicated:
First, that there was 4 shortage Of
farm labor in 1917. causing losses in
beth quantity and quality Of farm
products.
Second, that unless the situation is
promptly and intellieently handled
there viii he a greater shortage Of
labor and consequent loss of crops in
191S.
How to avoid this threatened loss
is coniprehensively discussed. Per-
sonal letters have been writeen to
farmers throughout the state. to the
farm advisers in the different coun-
ties, to county farm labor agents other
than farm advisers. and the sugges-
tions received being given in the pam
phiet. First among these comes i'm
portation Of labor, the preference be-
ing for Orientals or Mexicans; ther
closing Of saloons; third. the prac-
tica Of more liberal exemptions of
farm labor from draft; fourth. de-
velopment of potential supplies OF
home labor (children, women, city
dwellersl; fifth, better distribution
and utilization of present labor sup
plies; sixth, anti-vagrancy laws; sew
enth. conscription of labor. Each of
theese suggestions is discussed and
conclusions given as to the probable
effect should it be adopted. Atten-
ton Is called to the fact that the farm
labor situation cannot he segregated
from the general labor situation. since
If one group is short it draws upon
whatever supply is available. thu. es-

spreading the shortage over all pro-
duction.
To quote from the pamphlet: "Much
can be done to relieve the shortage if
immediate action is taken to render
the present supply more available or
efficient. II, however, through fail

ure to take such action, or if, no mat
ter how carefully manipulated, the
supply bids fair to be insufficient,
then additions must be made through
importation from outside sources suf-
ficient to insure the need of all farm
ers. The greatest need is for body

(b) Assisting again in shifting la
Dor from community to community
and from state TO state, as in past
years.
tc) Promoting fuller cooperation
among farmers in the same commun-
ity.
cd Making available, so far as
possible, high school boys in rural
districts who have had experience in
farming and who are not normally,
regularly or fully employed in farm
ing operations.
(e) Making every effort to see that
there is no obstacle in the way of the
production of larger supply of farm
and its fuller use as sup
plament to hand labor.

Brawley, March 1.-THE increasing
Importance Of the sheep industry is
manifested in the fact that the First
National Bank and the Imperial Val

10000 sheep in the Valley this sea

The banks have secured large

The endorsement of the parents. The
children purchasing the foundation of

the banks will lend every necessary

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tooaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, Just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette" "
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.

Recently the Navy Department of
the government asked, through the
newspapers, for field glasses which
were not in use by the owners to be
donated to the service. 1t seems that
the supply in the country is not large
enough to provide for the navy's use.
j. c. Giles, rancher living north Of
Holtville, saw the announcement in
one of the papers and brought in to
the postoffice fine field glass to be
forwarded on to Washington. P. B.
Brown, postmaster, will be glad to
receive more donations of this kind

Day laborers are now getting s36O for 1o-hour day, in con trast with approximately g at the begin-

 Tt is rumored,' said Chairman Gary
 that some employers of labor have
 been discussing the adoption of an
 eight-hour day, and in view of this fact
 We have given careful consideration to
 this question and have decided against
 it. Extending over period of many years we have been operating on an eight-hour basis in departments where the labor is unusually heavy and where the workmen and managers have both decided eight hours work was most conducive to health and comfort; and we have also been putting into practice from time to time during the last lew years an eight-hour day in laost of our underground iron ore and coal mines. A little over 9 per cent of our total | employees are on an eight hour basis.
