CROPS is PLEA
OF GARTHWA|TE
FARM Addison Tells Magnolia.
Mulberry People of What He
.Sav on Recent Trip.

That although the Imperial Valley
is not one crop locality, it's farmers
are too apt to be one crop farmers. is
the lesson brought home from the
north by Farm Advisor Garthwaite,
on his return from the Farm Advis-
ors' annual tour. Stanislaus county
according to Mr.. Garthwaite probably
presents the best example of diversi-
fled farming seen on the trip. Mr.
Garthwaite spoke at the Magnolia
Mulberry farm center meeting, held in
Brawley.
Not only do the farmers in Stanis-
laus county diversity their crops, they
also use different varieties of fruit,
so that their labor requirements are
uniform, one crop following another
with regularity, without undue rush,
he said Most of the farms are 40 to
80 acres.
In one case. farmer is making a
good living off 90 acres with a few
acres of fruit, few acres of alfalfa
and grain, an acre for poultry, and an
acre and half for farmstead. The
actual figures were presented to indl-
cate this man Melted above all expens-
es $500 last year, VIGOROUSLY bad

Methods of pruning were described,
both for trees and grapevines. indi-
eating that Imperial county is well

CHINESE FLEE

st is a case of walk out of Mexico
alive or stay there and starve to
death. They pay Chinese laborers $1.20
day, but there are ten Chinese for
every job of that kind. There is no
work and no food. The Chinese are
starving at home, and if they send me
back there | will be no worse off than

rather starve in my native country
than in a foreign land.
"There is no concerted action nor

from some quarters. The Chinese are
leaving for self preservation. They
come in numbers, the same as large
number of you prosperous Americans
go to a show. There isn't any agent.
Of course, some man might get few
dollars here or there on a promise to
get one of US across safely, but the

Rural life for women is to be made
as attractive, if not more so, than city
life, according to Mrs. w. A. Fitz-
gerald Of Berkeley, president of the
California Federation of Women's
clubs, who has just returned from a
council meeting of the General FEEDER
alton of Women's club held last week
in Salt Lake City.
''The meeting of the council was for
the purpose of getting the expression
of the delegates from all states on the
activities to be stressed in the pro-
gram of the biennial which will be held
next wear in Chautauqua, N. Y, de-
clared Mrs. Fitzgerald.
Paramount in discussion was the
woman in rural life. Men and women
must be kept on the farm. The farm
must not disappear. The war taught
us that And while, through the farm
bureaus, life in rural districts is at
tractve and helpful for men, women
are compelled to go right on, using,
one might say, primitive methods.
'rhe general federation is to take
up the matter of securing home dem
constructors for the rural districts. |

some states are just thinking about

mostly from it.
Through their aid women are
taught to make hats, and dresses so
that the little girl born and reared
in the country and the mother as well
may preserve her self-respect by wear

"The women are taught through the

LEAN YEARS Of
DEMPSEY SHOW
LITTLE PROFIT
Champion DreU DOtOn SIS for
His First Ring Battle in Ne,o
York.

Dempsey, in 1915 and 1916, when
next weeks meals were not always
definitely scheduled, travelled on the
brakes and beams, rather than in
cushioned compartment cars on his
journeys from one fistic engagement
to another. His travels took him to
New York in the late months of 1916.
While in New York, Dempsey met
his first opponents of any class, box
ing with Andre Anderson, Wild Burt
Kenney and John Lester johnson in
10-round, no-decisiOn bouts, all going
the limit. Dempsey was credited with
beating Anderson and Kenney but the
veteran negro, Johnson, knew bit
too much for this diamond in the
rough" from Colorado. Johnson
cracked two of Jacks ribs in the Sec
ond round and Dempsey showed ring
gameness by standing up to the negro
for the remainder Of the fight.
Dempsey and his manager now talk
in the hundreds of thousands when
discussing purses. For his first bout
in New York City, with Anderson, the
westerner received SIG. For boxing
lKenney he was given SAB by the pro-
moter. He signed to box John Lester
Johnson for $500 but received only
500. In those days, there was no Jack
Kearns present to haggle for the box
er and he decided that New York was
not the gold-filled city that western
stories had led him to believe. The
young fighter returned TO the ives.
and to obscurity for few months.
The second and third years of
Georges Carpenters ring career
started him off like future bantam
weight champion of the world. In
1908, he fought six battles. winning
two by knockouts, one on a foul, one
on points while each of the other two
resulted in draw. Descamps grad
ually became more daring in choosing
opponents for the 15-vcar-old boxer.

RAPID PICKUP

That the Imperial Valley is on the
upgrade from a business standpoint
and will show marked improvement
in economic conditions this Fall, is
the belief of William p. Mansfield, Il
we'll known resident of Pasadena, who
is the owner of an alfalfa ranch near

Mansfield is quoted as follows:
"We all believe" said Mr.. Mans

tural slump more quickly than any
other district, because it has the eli
mate and soil for quick and maximum
production.
eve are not by any means d'scour-
aged, although the break in the cot
ton market naturally was very dis
turbing. We are working now for
lower freight rates and reduced taxes,
and if all will stand together in urging
these things, it will be only a short
time until Imperial Valley again will
be in the lead as a center o. farm
wealth"
Mr.. Mansfield asserted that the rail
ways are doing themselves much more
harm than good by levying nigh
freight rates on the producer.
eff they will give us service as rea-
sonable prices" he concluded, "soon
they will have more carload shipments
from Imperial Valley than they can
handle. But if they insist on maintain
ing an exorbitant tariff the farmers
will produce less, and both they and
the railroads will return more slowly
to normal prosperity"
Mr.. Mansfield predicts rapidly i'm
proving conditions. with much bright
er prospects in sight for this summer
and fall.
