From the appearance Of the present

From the appearance Of the present
program arranged for Farm Cente,

first meeting will be at the Alamo
school house on Wednesday, Septem-
Der 2S; the second at Central north

September 80.
The principal topic of discussion at
each of these meetings will be subject is
pertaining to agricultural and stock
improvements which the Farm Certer
is particularly interested in, and in
which it is desired to make specific in
vestigation and study. In other words
it is proposed for each center to map
out it's own program of work for the
winter months.
This plan, according to Adviser
Garthwaite, while not a new one, is
an idea that has worked out success
fully elsewhere and bids fair to become
popular here. Already there Farm
Centers, Lantana, Jasper and McCabe.
have adopted this plan and have de-
finitely decided upon their working
progrm for the season.
Lantana will make special invcsti-
cations of dairying, grape growing,
vegetable growing, cotton, grain, poul-
try, roads and marketing. Jasper
Farm Center has picked grape grow
ing, irrigation, drainage, dairy .ng,
poultry, fruit and marketing as sub
jects for their special attention, while
McCabe Center will make special eff
forts to secure helpful information on
hog improvements, poultry, the intro
duction of new crops, dairy. .ng, soil
fertilization, telephone extension and
marketing.
Each of these centers have mapped
out big program of work fo rthe
winter months and all are working CO.
operatively together for the mutua
benefit of each rancher.

A lot of boxes of cartridges were
taken from the shelf and torn open
and left on the floor.
Evidently the burglars were un-

AT THE PALACE

If combined talent, artistry and
opportunity are of avail in the produc-
ton of a modern high class motion
picture drama, then "At the End of
vhe World" should be one of he big
gest successes of the season. It will
be the attraction at the Palace thea
ire Aisdome Tonight and tomorrow.
The star is Miss Betty Compson,
who's work in "The Miracle Man"
stamped her as an emotional actress
of rare charm and ability. While this
picture remarks Miss Compson's de-
but as a Paramount Star, it also
marks the debut of Penrhyn Stanlaws
American artist of note, as a Para
mount director.
Miss Compson, knows far and wide
for her beauty and talent has been
entrusted with a role that gives full
scope to her histrionic powers. She
appears as the daughter of a cysical
but educated man who is conducting
a notorious Shanghai cafe, called "The
Paper Lantern" She has been taught
to regard all men as beasts and to
keep them at arms length. Many
men are in love with her, she loves
but one, who is Indifferent to her.
Therefrom is developed a plot carries
the principals to lighthouse at the
end of the world where much of the
dramatic action transpires, but all

Construction of hatchery capable
of supplying $4,000 day old chickens
annually, is planned by ]. P. Lanier,
of Los Angeles, who has assumed
charge. of the w. M. Varney ranch
seven miles northeast of Brawley.
Mr.. Lanier will purchase sufficient
year and half old hens to supply
the eggs for his incubators at the
beginning. White Leghorns only
will be used.
81 estimate that 100000 day old
chicks are shipped to the valley an
nually," Mr.. Lanier declared this
morning. Conditions are such that
the chicks can be hatched here as well
as on the coast, and see no reason
these orders should go to the coast
hereafter.

a chicken ranch with 5000 hens q
few miles from Los Angeles.
Mr.. Lanier plans to place the en-
tire ranch in alfalfa and raise suffi-
cient grain to feed his flock of poul-
try. Feed cutters, bone cutters and
all machinery and modern equipment
will be provided on the ranch, which
will be one of the best ekuipped OF

NUMBER OF
FEEDERS PROSPECT
FOR WIN TER
C. A. DalUdy Says Value of
Feeders VIII Exceed Imports
of Cattle. Sharp Advance in
Corn Price Anticipated.

That the actual monetary value of
hogs brought to theImperial Valley
for fattening during the coming fin
ter will exceed that of the usual i'm
ports of cattle, is the prediction of
DIR. C. A. Dawdy, county veterinar-
for fattening during the coming win
the live stock situation throughout the
county
Large quantities of feeders arc
being sought to pasture in the valley,
according to the veterinarian. Cattle
feeding for the past three or four
years has left much to be desired. At
present prices for steers. bulls and
cows, the cattle feeder is unable to
see much margin and while consid-
cradle number of cattle will be
brought in to pasture as usual. the
better prospects for hogs will induce
moore interest to be taken in the
porkers.
To obtain these animals it will be
necessary to scour wide territory,
but they can be had. DR.. Dawdy
says. To bring them from great
distance involves a considerable ex-
pense, but as Los Angeles packers
are shipping fat hogs from Kansas
City, Imperial Valley farmers can af-
ford to take chance on the spread
9here represented. In older times
the packers paid for Imperial Valley
hogs the Kansas City price less the
freight. Nowadays conditions have
changed to the point where they pay
the Kansas City price. at least, and
sometimes plus the freight.
