cries out beseechingly to the world at
large, "Name him and take him"
SIZING UP YOUR FARM.

There are two ways Of doing ev-
erything. The businesslike way of
running q farm, consists in having
the exact knowledge of knowing what
the farm is worth, together with all
its assets of livestock, machinery, etc.
and of keeping a complete record of
each seasons gain or increase on the
farm. The slipshod way consists of
never keeping an account of anything
end of having no idea of ones per-.
sonal financial status. Such a farm
er is likely to feel flush when he has
money in his pocket, there by reason
of recent sale of head Of live
stock, or Of one crop, whereas, said
gale won't surnount the depreciation
of some other farm property, and ii
the farmer knew his net worth, or
where he is at" as the old darkey
expresses it, he could quickly realize
his profit or loss in the smallest
transaction.
Following the resolution, the first
move in the direction of accounting
or bookkeeping on the farm, is sim
plifed and made practical by the
use of Farm Business Inventory
blank books, which may be had free
of charge, by writing to the Division
of Extension, College of Agriculture,
Unworthy of Tennessee, Knoxville.
This book contains the space for the
recording Of not only the farm acre
age, buildings, vehicles, machinery,
all live stock, including the value of
every little pig or chicken, but also
the crops and their amount and val
ue-even the butter and egg yield
and the orchard returns for the sea-
son. The record is simple and easy
to keep, and does not require much
time. A man with little education
can use it to an advantage
What joy to have farm inven-
tory ready when the income tax must
be made OUT How much better and
easier it would have been to have
had one ready for the farm census
enumerators! But compiling the da-
ia for the census man is a fine start.
Keep up the good work by ordering
your inventory books, taking a com
plete inventory of your possessions
and of then keeping minute record
during the year of all farm business
Making bookkeeping part of your
regular yearly program on the farm,
will pevent loss, and encourage pro-
gress.
Come to The Partisan Office. We
will order an inventory book for
YOU.

hairy Peruvian alfalfa which grows in
such abundance here. The cattle are
sent in from Arizona, and other colder
northerly points to spend the winter
amidst the most ideal pasturing
grounds to be found so that during
May and June, when they are sent to
market, they can be picked out almost
individually by buyers familiar with
the Valleys advantages.
Cattle Breed Well
Unlike sheep, the cattle bred here
under the most auspicious circum-
stances, the bun calves being reared
for market, while the dairy calves are
kept for their by-product.
The chief cattle-raising sections of
the Valley are near Hotvlle. El Cen
tro. CaleXico and Calipatria. There are
approximately 81 900 acres planted to
milo maize and the crop averages about
three-fourths of a ton 10 the acre. while
the area will be nearly doubled during
the present year.
Alfalfa a Big Crop
The alfalfa crop averages about six
tons per acre. and at present there are
about 96.o40 tons harvested annually.
Between one-fourth and onefifth Of this
crop is shipped to foreign markets
while the remainder IN kept IN tho

PRESIDENT EXPLAINS
lRu Associatad Pressl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-President
Wilson in his memorandum" to the
allies concerning their proposed Adria-
tic settlement informed them the United
States might have to consider with
drawing the peace treaty from the SEN
ate if the allies went ahead with their
plans without the consent of the United
States. This statement was made here
officially today.
The further statement was made
that the American position was outlin-
ed not in the nature of a threat but as
the statement of situation created
mot by an act of the American govern
ment but an act of the British, French
and Italian premiers," which would
place the United States in the position
if it We're a party of the treaty of Yer
sailles of subscribing through the pact
to rights of sovereignty and other agree
ments to which it was opposed.

LIVESTOCK INCREASE F|vE-F0LD;
10000 BEEvES SHIPPED ANNUALLY

The remarkable increase in the live
stock industry in Imperial Valley dur
ing the last eight years goes to show
beyond the possibility of cavil. the
wondrously prolific merits Of the Valley
as place of winter pasturage,
In the year 1910 the total number of
beef and dairy cattle was, so far as
could be authenticity learned, 1406S
Today that number has been augment
ed more than five times, until it now
reaches the grand total of 1853.
Many H0steins
OF this number about two-thirds are
Holsteins, and the daily average butter
yield is about 1000 pounds. There new
err was time in the Valleys history
when the dairying industry has shown
such promise for future as now Cat
tie of all breeds thrive here with little
or no disease of any character worth
mentioning; here they have the great
advantage of finest of winter pasturage
of the best milk producing feed, and
taken altogether it is the ideal winter
pasturing field of any in the United
States
Cattle shipped in here during the
month of October are afforded unlimit
ed alfalfa and barley grazing grounds
which, coupled with little milo maize
forms an ideal feed for rounding the
cattle into remarkable shape.
Fully 10000 beeves are annually ship

JAPS FILTER IN

Especial to the Press

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-That Jap
anese agencies in Los Angeles and
other California cities were maintain
ed solely for the purpose of Schooling
their fellow-countrymen into the ways
of American immigration officials, in
order that they could be smugGled
across the border, was charged by w.
Webb of Campo, Cal, who as supervis
! ing immigration inspector for the
border, appeared before the house i'm
migration committee yesterday.
lie contended that hundreds of ASH
atcs were absorbed into the population
without a trace, due to the failure of
the government to maintain an ade
quate border patrol.
Coming from an official so well ac
quainted with the actual conditions the
charges against the Asiatic agencies in
Los Angeles made considerable inn
preston upon the immigration commit
tee. The supervising inspector stated
that more than 500 Chinese had been
rounded up in one batch in the Imper
ial Valley during 1917. He claimed that
it was exceedingly difficult to appre-
hend them because of the aid rendered
by their fellowcotmtrymen who resid
ed in that territory for the express
purpose of giving assistance to the new
comers. The committee was told that
arrests Of Asiatics, mostly Japanese
for unlawful entry into the United
States, was an ordinary part of the i'm
migration officials job.
Newcomers are Drilled
Webb described at length the methods
used by the Japanese organizations in
Los Angeles and other California cities
in bringing in the aliens without both
ering with the immigration rules. He
declared that the Japs went about their
training of their Countrymen in a quiet
manner
Japs familiar with the technicaities
of the immigration laws and the many
loophocs afforded. made it their bus
mess to instruct the immigrants into
the ways and means of lodging depor-
tation. He declared that it was practiC-
ally impossible for the most diligent
inspectors to apprehend Aslatics sus-
pected of gaining illegal entry into this
country.
Inspector Webb revealed several
facts obtained i'm his official inVestiga-
ton of the smuggling of Orientals. That
the Japanese landed in Mexico by the
hundreds was a well-known fact, he
said, but from there on no trace could
be obtained of them. There are agen.
cies at work which obtain from 500 to
s400 per head for assisting Japs and
other Asiatics to disappear"
1t appears that the Imperial Valley
with its vast eXpanses is a favorite
gate" for these unbidden guests. These
entrances could, to a large extent bC
