ALFALFA INCREASE
SHOWS PERMANENT
GROWTH OF VALLEY

In 1910 Imperial County had 3o,703
acres in alfalfa; in 1920, it had 92,229
acres Eleven years ago the barley
acreage was 43,543; in 1920 it was 60,
430. IN 1910 something over l,lO0
acres Of cantaloupes were grown in the
valley; in 1920, nearly 1000 acres were
grown. Wheat cultivation was started
il 1916, with over 1900 acres planted.
These figures show something of the
progress that farming has made in the
valley within a decade.
The old feverish, speculative spirit is
dying out, and people are beginning to
look upon the valley with an eye to
permanent development that cannot
but bode good. They have learned that
fortunes are not made over night in
farming and are planning and planting
accordingly.

Internal Revenue I'm
Big Increase; Shows
Business Here G0Od

Collector Rex Goodcell yesterday
completed n survey Of various classes
Of Internal Revenue taX receipts for
October which reflect a steady and
increasing expansion Of business IN the
Southern California district.
Although facing pronounced
shrinkagc in receipts owing 70 drastic
reductions in rates under the EeW rev
cnue act, the income taE collections
for October were practically the same
as the receipts fo rthe corresponding
period Of 1921. Octobce'2 receipts
were 1896, 1882 as against $i39,822 Z
for last October. This remarkable
showing is due to the fact that 47,920
more separate income ret@"na were
filed in 1922 than IN 1921 -aAd bears
out Collector Goodccl s contention tlat
Increased business and the acquisition

AN ABORIGAL WONDER
augusta Chronicle)

augusta Chronicle)
In the early spring of 1921, F. M.
living on Third street,
cut a limb from a red plum tree,
and stuck it in the ground to mark
the planting of some seed. The red
plum switch was about 20 inches
long and less than the size of a
mans thumb. A growth sprang
from near the top of this limb and
grew upward until it is now six
feet in height, and at the same time
it grew to the ground and at the
present time has roots almost as
large as a mans double fist. The
original limb set in the ground has
not grown at , all, but the new
growth is slowly growing around it.
Mr.. and Mrs Armstrong expect to
eat plums from this tree. Mr..
Armstrong says this is the first case
of this kind he has ever heard Of.
and it was a new wrinkle on the
writer. Who can beat it?
