BOOM IN HOG
HERE
Survey of the Situation in
Imperial Valley EncOur-
aging for Immediate Flu
ture of the Industry.

In an official report, Assistant
Farm Adviser J. p. Hertel gives a
survey of the hogsiit.sation in the
Imperial Valley, predicting great
boom in this branch of the stock
industry. His report follows:
cat the present time the outlook
for more hogs in Imperial Valley is
very promising. Our little booklet
on Imperial Valley, published by the
Development Agent, shows that o.
900 hogs were raised in 1918. A
much larger number were raised In
1867, but, due to the single mar
ket of Los Angeles, at whose mercy
the local hog men were, and due to
the rise in he price of feed, many
men went out of the hog industry.
"The Farm Bureau in October, 1917,
inaugurated campaign to ship
trainload of hogs to Kansas City.
During the last few days many of
the breeders went back on their prom
Uses and the hogs were never shipped
to Kansas. City. However, the agi-
tation. at the time caused an increase
in the price of hogs to be paid by
the Los Angeles firms of about 2
cents.
"Last year the hog raisers were
again disappointed with their mar
keting condition and a Farm Bureau
auction sale was held in June, 1918.
About seven carloads of hogs were
sold at this time, the highest price
paid being $17.10, or the highest
price by Sac ever paid in the Val
ley up to that time.
"Due to these existing conditions
and the high price of corn and bar
ley, many men went out of the hog
industry. But the decline in the price
of corn and barley is teaching peo-
pie that the livestock industry must
be the backbone of agriculture in
Imperial Valley.
"Much land is being planted to al
falfa this year and there is a no.
ticeable decrease in the production
of cotton. AS hogs are pastured very
considerably, we know that the hog
industry will boom from now on. The
demand for young pigs at this time is
considerably greater than the supply
which is demonstrated by the diff
Guilty that the Boys Pig Clubs have
in securing their pigs.
Specialists say that the Valley

EXTRA SESSION
OF CONGRESS TO
Be IN JUNE

Washington, Feb. 26.-President
Wilson tonight notified Senator Mar
tin, Democratic leader, that he will
not call an extra session of Con-
gress until his return from Europe
1t is thought he will return about
June |.
The presidents statement will put
an end to speculation as to when the
extra session would be called. Pre-
dictions as to the date have varied
from March to June.
The president announced his deci-
sion after a conference with Senator
Martin, the Democratic leader, and
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee, who called at
the White House early last even
ing. 'i'ht
Extra Session Imperative.
Both senators are understood to
have urged that the date be fixed as
early as possible, and a House dele
cation had planned to make the same
request.
Congressional leaders of both par
ties have for DAYS recognized that
an extra session would be imperative
not only because of the large mass
of general legislation that is bound
to fail for lack of time, but also be-
cause it appears certain that not all
of the large supply bills can be put
through and those appropriation
measures must be passed before the
expiration of the fiscal year, June
30, in order to keep the wheels of
government machinery revolving.
Date Left Indefinite.
Republicans have been insistent
that Congress be kept in session sc
long as the peace commissioners are
sitting at Paris, particularly that the
Senate may discuss the League OF
Nations question, and Democrats
have charged that in order to delay
necessary legislation and force an
extra session the Republicans
have been conducting "camou-
flaged' filibuster on practically every
measure that the majority has called
up in the Senate.
Since the president makes it clear
that there will be no extra session
until he returns from France, the
time is still indefinite, but Senators
Martin and Simmons got the inn
preston from their talk with the
president that he expects to get back
to the states about June l..
If any of the general appropria-
ton bills do fail of passage at this
session it will be necessary to call
Congress together in time to pass
them before the end of the fiscal
year.
