Chinese Build Land
With Legume Crops
Missionary Claims
BY CLARK w. ADAIR

ID. Z. Osborn, d rancher living three
miles north of Imperial, relates some Of
the things he has seen in Asia. Mr..
Osburn was superintendent of the con-
struction for the Methodist church for
% years in China and India, and has
travelled all over these countries. He
has been a resident of Imperial Val
ley for almost seven years.
Mr.. Osborn says that in both China
and India where farming has en car
ricd on for thousands Of years. the soil
fertility is maintained by growing le-
gumes (peas and beans).
In the province of Chem Chu, China,
800 miles up the Yang Use river
yellow river) 60000,000 people live
in a territory about onehalf the size
Of Texas The manufacturing of silk
cloth by the old loom and the making
Of chinaware are the big industries and
give employment~to many people. Civi-
lization has existed there for thousands
of years. Transportation is by means
OF wbeelbarrows and on the backs of
men and yet the farm crops in this
province show that the Chinese farm
ers are among the best in the world.

fertility of the soil by raising peas
and beans between the rows of corn
and fruit trees. The vegetable, rice
and grain crops are always forced by
n legume crop. There has never been
n famine in this district. The farmers
tools consist of a crooked stick for a
plow and !, spade and hoe and a har-
vcster.
The greater part of the province is
irrigated. Many kinds of devices are
used to elevate the water from the
streams. One of the principle methods
used is for men to walk tread whee
which turns a water wheel with buckets
attached. The buckets are usually made
of large goards. Some of the boats Oh
the river are propelled by men tread

JOHNSON SUPPORTS

LOS ANGELES, Nov. Several
bills dealing with agricultural financing

member of the western farm bloc,
United States Senator Hiram W.,John-
son is vitally interested in them and
in all proposed legislation for the wei
fare of the farming interests of Cali,
fornia and the nation. When he re-
turns to Washington, Senator Johnson
will continue his work III behalf of the
farmer where If was left off at the last
session Of congress. With the other
senators Of the western farm bloc he
will seek laws that will make permanent
the agricultural financing work now

''The problem of maintaining our
agriculture upon a sound basis lies at

economic and social policies, and every
intelligent citizen must have Il deep

Big Eaters Get
Kidney Trouble
Take Salts at first sign Of
Bladder irritation or
Backache.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trouble.
because we eat often too much red meat
and all our food is rich. Our blood is
filled with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out; they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish, the elimina-
tive tissues clog and the result is kidney
trouble, bladder weakness and a general
decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or if you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast for few
days and your kidneys may then act
fine. This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged Kidneys; to neutralize the acids
in the urine SO it no longer is source
of irritation, thus often ending bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive; can not in
jure, makes delightful effervescent
lithia water beverage and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
mistake by having good kidney
flushing any time.

JOHNSON GRASS
ERADICATION IS
TASK OF VALLEY
State Law Backs Efforts
to Rid Valley of Weed;
Ranchers Help

Tn an effort eventually to rid Tmper-
ial Valley of noxious weed, the coun-
ty horticultural department under the
| direction of +. w. Waite, horticultural
| commissioner, is waging active warfare
at present on johnson grass. It has
proven q source of annoyance to ranch
ers in California until it has been
found necessary to have the state leg
| islature pass a law prohibiting anyone
| from permitting Johnson grass to ma
ture on land which they may lease or
| own, or allowing its seed TO be dissem
mated.
For many years, johnson grass has
| been considered suitable fodder crop in
| the southern states and was introduced
| into the coast states for that purpose,
according to Mr.. Waite, but it has
been found that it interferes with the
| growth of other crops because of the
rapidity with which it spreads thereby
choking out and eventually destroying
other crops such as alfalfa and grains.
| Because of constant watchfulness on
the part of the horticultural commits
sioner' 8 force, and prompt measures
taken to prevent it's spread and cause
its eventual eradication, johnson grass
has been checked in Imperial Valley
though there is still q considerable
quantity of it here.
One means of checking the growth
is to allow land infested with the grass
to remain idle and plow it under at
frequent intervals. Soaking the land
with distillate has also been found ef-
Elective in eradicating it. Allowing the
grass to go to seed has ben found to
be the quickest way of causing it to
spread and great care is taken to pre-
vent this. The seed is carried easily
by the wind, and by means of the irri-
CATION bitches so that constant vigil
ance is necessary to prevent ranchers
from allowing infected areas to reach
this stage.
In this connection, Mr.. Waite says
the department has the cooperation of
practically all tn ranchers, the non
resident owner being the greatest
handicap. Such ,-,rson, not realizing
the damage which the grass can cause
pays little or no heed to warnings to
! rid his land of the. weed and it Otter
, becomes necessary for the department
, ! to take charge Of the work, sending thu
} bill to cover the charges to the owner
In this the department is backed VI
by the state law
Imperial Valley press., 1922-11-01

of the proprietors that the good will Of
customers justifies this action.
In addition to raising chicks for the
market, the Imperial Valley Hatchery
also matches eggs for others at a
nominal charge, based on the number
of chicks hatched out. Ducks, geese
and turkeys are also hatched in sea-
son. A, full supply of poultry feeds
and chicken raising equipment is also
carried ON hand.
To see the hundreds Of chicks from
those just breaking from their shells
to the old timers of three or four days
and to listen to their peeping, is a
sight that people living in cities ar.
privileged to see, and a trip to tht
hatchery is q liberal education in the
art of poultry raising as it is conducte ed
with modern equipment.

Germs, Not Feeding,
Cause Hog Cholera,
CLANS Veterinary

DR.. F. M. Hayes, of the veterinary
science branch Of the college of agri
culture at Davis, charges that Rosa
monde Rae Wright, Los Angeles, has
misstated facts in the argument in
favor of the prohibition vivisection act
written for the pamphlet issued by the
secretary of state.
The writer of the argument states
that Bulletin 229, issued by the college
Eof agriculture, University of Califor-
MIA, tells us that "hog cholera is
caused by improper feeding etc. Com
smon sense should tell us that these
| causes, with the addition of unsanitary
| pens and yards which are the rule most
everywhere, could not fail to knock out
any hog. law abolishing vivisection
would tend to drive raisers of hogs to
depend upon preventive measures. San
itation and not vaccination, prevents
human and animal diseases
DR.. Hayes contends that the bulletin
quoted states specifically on pages 2
and 3 4that "the cause of hog cholera
a germ so small that it cannot be seen
by use Of the microscope" He states
that "the organisms pass through the
finest filters and cannot be artificially
grown in the laboratory. The blood and
Iexcretions, especially the urine ani
feces of hog sick with cholera, are
capable of producing the disease in g
susceptible hog. The virus (blood. of q
sick hog) is highly infectious.
"The accessory causes of hog cholera
are numerous and include all conditions
that weaken the constitution and neu-
.ral resistance to disease, such as: G)
improper feeding, which includes un-
balanced rations, overfeeding, insuffi-
eient food-as garbage and fermented
slops are likely to be, and unsanitary
troughs and floors; impure drinking
water. Hog cholera cannot be produc-
I'd except through infection with the
! ,pecifi evirus, but these accessory
'auses increase the susceptibility to
this virus,,''
The bulletin claims that "vivisec-
lion, within the meaning of the propos-
/ I'd law, made possible the discovery of
a method of protecting the hog against
1 cholera by the use of anti-hOg cholera
/ serum" Furthermore, according to DR..
! Hayes, vivisection within the meaning
IF the proposed law, now makes posi-
BILE the preparation of this serum for
| the benefit of the hog industry.
Thousands of hogs are protected
| from the tortures of the disease, the
hazard of swine raising is materially re-
| 1ueed, and the wealth of the state con-
siderably increased by sanitation and
vaccination, rather than by sanitation
| llone as the proponents of the initia-
| tive measure No. 28 would have us be-
l lievc," DR.. Hayes concluded.
