WELL KNOWN MEN
DAIRY EXPERTS
TO VISIT VALLEY

Announcement has just been made
that Dean II. +. Van Norman, head
of the university farm school at Da-
Wis and one of the best judges OF
dairy cows in the state, will give
Judging demonstration as one of the
features Of the big two-day dairy
demonstration meetings Dec. 20 and
80. Dean Van Norman's talk on "Bet-
ter Dairy Cows and How to Get
Them" is worth great deal and no
dairyman in the valley should miss
this opportunity of learning to tell the
difference between an excellent or a
mediocre COW.
With the dean will come number
of well known professors, and per
haps a short outline of each will be
interesting to valley dalrymen.
Prof. X. L. Adams, formerly man
ager for company owning ranches
in several states, now head of the Of
flee of farm management of the Uni
versity Of California, will speak on
proper leases and leasing methods
to. stabilize dairying in Imperial Val
ley" Farmers, bankers and business
men have long realized that the worst
drawback to farming in the valley is
the short-term lease. Prof. Adams,
who is an expert on this subject, will
make recommendation that will be
listened to intently by all.
Many dairymen seeking accurate in
formation on clover, Sudan grass,
Rhodes grass or other pasture crops
will be delighted to know that Prof.
Ko,,,oIx, af fhn Ifnjua,cifxy Of
California will be on hand to show
specimens of number of different
grasses. In his talk on "The best
dairying soils and pasturage crops
for Imperial Valley" he will advise
dairymen as to time and methods of
planting, irrigating and harvesting of
these crops.
Prof. c. F. Hoyt of the state de-
partment of agriculture will speak on
Influence upon the dairyman's in
come of sanitation and quality OF
product" He will illustrate his talk
by showing necessary equipment, etc.
Those who are interested in producing
clean, good milk of high quality and
who have received corresponding
profits from so doing will find much
of great value in Prof. Hoyt's talk.
DR.. Marion Dorset of the bureau of
animal industry of the United States
department of agriculture is nation
al authority on tuberculin, and super
vises the manufacture of the nations
supply. 1t is practically assured that
DR.. Dorset will be here, and those who
have heard him talk say that it is
worth going 100 miles, even in these
days of high rates, to hear him.
Gerald H. Shaw, chairman of the
farm bureau dairy committee, which
is helping to arrange these meetings,
says that these men will be brought
right out into the country SO as to
reach the dairymen.

FINAL SERMON
Of REV. REED
NEXT SUNDAY

Rev. Walter Reed will preach his
final sermon in Ell Centre next Sun
day at the First Baptist church, and
during the coming week will leave for
Corona, his new charge.
Plans of the congregation for Sun
day include special effort to secure
all members present to hear Rev.
Reeds farewell sermon.
Rev. Reed has been in Ell Centro six
years, and since his coming here has
seen the local Baptist church grow
from the small church which it was
then to it's present large and prosper
Gus condition. Although no figures
are available, it is one Of the largest,
if not the largest church, in the city,
and much Of this has been due to the
efforts of Rev. Reed.
No successor has been selected, al
though the church has in mind sew
eral pastors, any one of whom may
be called.
Rev. Reed is leaving FL Centre
against the wishes of his congregation
and his resignation was accepted with
the deepest regret only after he had
insisted on it. The larger field and
the opportunity for greater good held
the appeal which he could not resist.

POST OFFICE IS
RUSHED With
CHRISTMAS MAIL

The Christmas rush is here at last.
If you don't believe it try to see Post
master Charles w. Collins in one Of
his leisure 90 moments.
The postmaster states that the
Christmas rush this year will COM
pare very favorably with that of last
year. Monday evening 1913 heavy
mail sacks, which burdened a big
truck to the limit, were taken down
to the evening train, and last night
ITO mail sacks were sent out.
Nh Collins asks the public to mail
all packages earlier in the day. At
the present time the .gSeat majority
of this huge rush is mailed between
five and six in the afternoon. The
same can be said of the letter mail.
This short time gives the postal
employees but scant time to see that it
is properly addressed and to handle
the various packages.
" The present force is extending itself
to the limit and little thoughtful
consideration on the part Of the pub
lie in mailing packages and letters
sooner in the day would make the
handling simpler, Mr.. Collins says.

IMPERIAL,
BARTON
County Treasurer Returns
from Semi-Annual Pill
grimage to Sacramento
Carrying COunty's Money
to State Treasurer.

Imperial county in lamenting
the drop in cotton prices, is only
on a par with the remainder of
the state, declared County Treas
urer c. c. Barton this morning,
after returning from his semi--
annual pilgrimage to Sacramento
to take the cOunty's funds which
are due to the state to the state
treasurer.
This time Mr.. Barton carried ap-
proximately $4,000. Fifteen thou
sand Of this was inheritance tax col
lected in this county, and the remain
der money from state school lands,
interest on state funds expended in
Imperial county on highways and sew
eral smaller items.
Mr.. Barton met many of the coun-
ty treasurers of the state and found
that the condition existing in Imperial
county was not local, but that each
county had its own particular trou-
bles. In the northern part of the
state the cattle, sheep and hog men
are hard hit, even harder than the
cotton men in this county, Mr.. Barton
believes.
One thing which interested Mr..
Barton particularly was the fact that
grand jury Investigations such as
Imperial Valley is now experiencing
are being held in many counties. This
is in line with the general demand
that government be operated more
economically. .r...-t ~. ~.
Politically he found the situation of
interest. John Chambers, state con-
troller, seems to be the man most
frequently mentioned as candidate
for governor Mr. Barton speaks of
him very highly.
The campaign slogan of the next
political election will in all probability
be for a sound business administration
of state affairs, judging from the SEN
timent as expressed in Sacramento.
There is general move for retrench-
ment that is statewide.
Imperial Valley seems to be in bet
ter shape to stand the blow and
weather the storm than many sec
tions, Mr.. Barton says, and the ex-
pressions of outsiders were that we
are not as bad off as we think we are.
