ticular task.
Imperial Valley Dairy Day is in
no way to be limited to FL Centre.
and is to be made a county wide
affair. Nor is it TO be limited to
those engaged in dairying. IN fact
one of the objects of holding such
day is to acquaint the city man
with the important place which
dairying holds in this valley and
make him realize that the prosperi-
ty of the valley in great measure is
dependent upon the dairy industry,
and that anything undertaken to
improve dairying is bound to i'm
prove the valley.

by members of the agricultural

tors, addresses by dairy experts on
various topics of interest to dairy
men and to the general public of a
rural community. There will also
be plenty of entertainment provided
for the occasion, details for which
are now beng worked out by the en-
tertalnment committee.
