Rear Admiral Henry B. Wilson,

PRODUCES BOULDER
DAM BRAND OF
LETTUCE

A. M. Mealey, the go-getting west
side garden truck producer, is furnish
ing an example of what can be done by
one man to create Il demand for an art-
Gle of quality.
Mr.. Mealey conceived the notion of
packing a fancy brand of lettuce and
calling it the "Boulder DAM brand.
He symDolized all of this ideal in an
attractive label, superintcnded the pack
ing of the stuff himself and then went
out single handed to find q market for
his product. He solicited the restaur-
ants and hotels which cater to an exact
ing trade and left them samples of his
fancy lettuce. The people liked it and
began calling for more.
Mr.. Mealev left some of his lettuce
with San Diego grocers which supply
the most. particular trade. The trade
responded at once and customers an
nounced a willingness to wait when the
" Boulder Dam - lettuce was not avail
able for any reason. The demand is
now established and the problem is to
produce the stuff in quantity and to
maintain it at grade.
Mr.. Mealcy is conscious of the fact
that success depends upon his ability,
to furnish uniform high quality of
product IN a steady and unfailing supply
to the people vino nave learned to like
and to call for his stuff. He feels con-
fident of his equipment to do this and
now people will watch developments and
note the evolution of wide-awake Irish
t;airyman into captain of industry.

GRAPE GROWING
MUCH INCREASED
Biq Profits in Business Lead
to Large Expansion in

Because of the extension of grape
planting in Southern California this
year, saws Farm and Tractor, the see

now one of the most important grape
producing sections of the country. Re
Gently the California Grape Growers
Exchange extended its activities to the
southern part of the state, electing A.
II. Conger of Los Angeles on the board
of directors.
There were, up to January l, about
$4,000 acres planted to grapes in South
crn California, about 10000 acres of
which are in wine grapes, mostly in the
Cucamonga section, where there are
also 1000 acres of raisin grapes and
500 acres in table grapes.
In San Diego county there are 5000
acres in grapes, of which all but 1900
are in bearing. There are 1886 acres of
grapes in Riverside county, of which
1900 acres are in wine grapes. In Los
Angeles county there are about 4lOO
acres in grapes, divided as follows:
Wine grapes, 1888 acres; raisin grapes,
l456 acres; table grapes, 6SS acres
About $500 acres of grapes have been
planted in the Imperial Valley, but
this year will see the acreage doubled.
In the Coachella Valley, also, extensive
grape paintings are being made.

BOIL WEEVILS I'm
COTTON BELT IS
REPORTED ON
INCREASE

4 heavy infestatiOn of boil weevils
in the cotton belt this season is indi-
Gated by observations made at the
Delta Laboratory, Talluluah, La, where
for a number of years the Bureau Of
Entomology, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has been making
a series of studies each season to serve
as Il basis for predictions regarding the
severity of spring infestations of the
pest. The records for 1922 have just
been completed, and Il comparison
with similar records for the last eight
wears points to u heavier emegence of
the pest from winter quarters than in
any previous season during that period.
Cotton farms this year in deciding
upon where to reduce or increase their
acreage are cautioned to take into
account this prospect of an abundance
of boil weevils.
The number of boil weevils emerg-
ing from Information each spring de-
pends on two things the number en-
tering Information in the fall and the
percentage of these surviving. Last
fall the greater part of the cotton belt
saw conditions which permitted tan un-
usually large number of weevils to en-
ter Information. The winter weather
has generally been abnormally mild to
date and the usual period of severe
weather has passed although there is,
of course, still bare chance of temp.
eratures low enough to influence weevil
survival. Because of this mild weather
Il high rate of weevil survival was to
be expected. Recent records have
more than verified this expectation.
These records are made in a number of
different ways but the most compar-
able criterion is the figure based on
the number of live weevits sfound hib-
ernating in Spanish moss in certain Sc
lected localities in Louisian each year.
Seccntly over 5000 pounds of Spanish
moss from l5 different selected points
representing the different types of hib-
ernating conditions found in that dis
trict were examined. This moss is
carefully examined and the number of
weevils both live and dead noted.
From this the ratio of both live and
dead weevils per ton of moss is COM
puted, and experience has shown that
this affords a very fair index to the
emergence which may be expected. The
following table shows the figures for
the past eight years:

BIG COTTON CROP !
in PALO VERDE
Ginning Season Ends With out.
put of 10000 Bales, Larger
Acreage for this Year

The cotton season in the Palo Verde
Valley is officially closed, with a total
ginning of 10000 bales Of 500 pounds
each reported Early in the season, the
crop was estimated at about 1000 bales.
Ideal weather brought out new bolls,
and practically all the cotton "made',
so that the yield was greatly increased.
Then, too, the ranchers, most of whom
are landowners and not leasers, worked
and cared for the crop as it was never
cared for before. This, too, must be
considered as an important factor.
There were approximately $4,000
acres planted out to cotton last season;
so that total yield of 10000 bales
brings the general average up to five
seventh of bale per acre There were
some ranchers that claim two and three
bales per acre, but five-scvcnths is far
above the average for any district in
the United States. This cotton all
graded very well as to quality and
staple. A big percentage of the cotton
crop still remains in the cotton yards.
Growers hope that the Sante Fe rail
way will reduce the freight rate to
points on the coast, principally Los An.
geles harbor, thereby saving thousands
of dollars for themr
The outlook for next season s cotton
crop is better than for some time, and
it is estimated that there will be an in
crease over last year s acreage. Plant.
ing has already started.

SHORT Time LEASE
DIFFICULTY IN
DEVELOPMENT
OF VALLEY

1t is admitted that one of the most
serious difficulties in the development
of Imperial county has been the short
time lease which has discouraged any
permanent Improvement on the part Of
the tenant in the way Of better living
conditions, beautifying the yard and
building of proper enclosures for
chickens, sheds for machinery, etc. 1t
has also resulted in "a transient pOpu-
lation that is detrimental to the
growth and development of neighbor-
hood life and educational advantages
4 writer in widely read farm journal
tells this story which is suggestive:
''When heard that there was q man
Just over the line who, for the last
twenty years, mas rented his farm to
one man, and the place has been grow
ing better all the time, with not a bit
OF trouble between him and his tenant,
decided that l should like to know a
little more about it. SO, one day, when
work was slack, l took little trip
over that way, and here are some Of
the things ] found:
In the beginning there had been a
written lease of the farm; but for a
long time the custom of renewing it
had lapsed. The land owner had found
that his tenant meant to do the right
thing always and the tenant knew he
could depend on his landlord to be
fair and square. l was not sure it was
wise to let down the bars to that ex-
tent. Things change so suddenly in
this world, and q contract is good
thing to have.
This is the way the owner of the
farm talked to his tenant: you 90
right ahead and do with this place lust
as you would if you owned it. Plan
the crops, work the land and act Just
rs IT you were the boss and all the
hands. If you ever come to a place
where you want my advice come over
and we will talk about it,
"And the tenant met this confidence
more than half way. Il should like
to feel free to make any suggestions
YOU thing best. This place is yours.
The latch string will never be pulled in.
Come over and we will plan things to-
gether.'
And so they have done all these

an ideal way to do. Doesn t it to youe'

the latest type of heaters, and he be-
lieves that during the cold snap he
saved the greater part of the orange
crop on the trees by this means. He
is working all interests together. The
fertilizer from the hog yards, dairy
barns and stables all goes to feed the
orange grove, and rebuild the other
land. He grows wheat, alfalfa, corn
and barley, and feeds these to cattle he
buys in the fall, keeps through tine
winter and sells in the spring. Mr..
Gregory, in working all things together
is able to show Il greater profit, he
believes, than would be possible by tax

Gregory is one of the successful farm
ers of Southern California. He is rated
