SOIL FERTILITY N
IMPERIAL VALLEY
BU CLARK ". ADAIR

The history OF SOIL fertiiltV III the
Imperial Valley is the same as nearly
everywhere else. The only difference
is that we can do in two to four years
what it takes other agricultural see
tions 80 to 80 years to accomplish.
We have Just now found out that we
must take up the question of soil fer
tilitv and studysit if we are to succeed
as community.
In the public library there are books
written by men who have labored for
years assembling the facts and knowl-
edge which lead to success. If the farm
ers will read these books they will
be able to see that we have been travel
ing toward failure.
Cyril G. Hopkins, Ph. D., professor
in the University of Illinois, III has
book, "Soil Fertility and Permanent
Agriculture, - has arranged tables show
ing experiments with fertilizer and le-
gume plants.
From page 476 TO 4s6, we find ex-
periments carried along for several
years which show the value of legume
crops as a soil builder for otehr crops.
crops.
On page 4S6, it is stated that legume
crops the first year increased produe-
tion $50 per cent. The second year
shows over 400 per cent increase and
the third year shows over 600 per cent
increase.
Rich virgin land failed in production
nearly so per cent in five years. when
no legume crop was raised.
On page 4s5, table 81, shows the
value of legumes. From IS per cent to
over 1900 per cent increase production
in wheat is shown in the table.
On page 4sl, table 90, shows in a
four years crop rotation, that the corn
crop of 1906, following clover crop in
1905 was over 600 per cent larger than
the 1902 corn crop.
This article is written to convince
farmers that they should hold the value
of legume green manure crops. The
tables also show that it pays to supply
some crops with PHOSPHORUS or potas-
sium.
The land in the Imperial Valley which
does not produce profitable crop at the
present prices show that the owner is
ignoring fundamental principles of agri
culture.

Outlines Law for Better
Seeds for Farms
BY F. w. WAITE
Horticultural Commissioner

7 wish to call the farmers attention
to the "Pure Seed law which will be
beneficial to them in purchasing seed
las they will be informed as to the purity
and termination of seeds as well as
amount of weed seeds.
1t is advisable that all buyers of
seeds for planting see to it that there
is tag on all sacks containing this
information as prescribed by the "Purc
Seed law given below. So far all
seed dealers in the county are eooperat-
ing with the state department and it
will be only a matter of education when
all parties shipping seed into the state
will do likewise.
PURE SEED LAW
An act for the prevention of adulter-
alton or misla beling of agricultural
seed, providing for the indicating of
the purity and viability thereof and
prescribing penalties for violations of
the provisions thereof.
Every lot of agricultural seeds, when
sold, offered for sale in bulk, packages
or other containers of five pounds or
more shall bear label stating:
(a) The commonly accepted name
of such agricultural seeds and the bushel
weight thereof:
(b) The approximate percentage by
weight of purity;
(c) The approximate percentage by
weight of weed seeds;
I'D The name of each kind of seeds
or bulblets of noxious weed seeds;
(e) The approximate percentage OF
termination;
~ The full name and address of
, the vendor of such agricultural seed.
ANY citizen of this state shall have
the privilege of submitting to the di-

home grounds be used for the purpose.
Garment and hat making will be con
tinued under project leaders in several
of the Centers. Miss Jessie Decker,
extension specialist of the university
is coming the last of October TO remain
two weeks and start the home furnish
ing project.
All of the eenters represented at the
meeting Saturday gave inspiring re
ports of late meetings and the interest
in the home center department never
seemed greater than at this time.
Miss Orpha A. Miller, the new agent,
talked to the directors of the program
and expressed tine utmost confidence
in the success of the department, stat
ing that she is pleased with the fine
spirit of cooperation manifested where
ever she has gone. She believes that
every section of the county is gong
TO cooperate on the work of the year.
Her talk was purely informal but was
well received.
Mrs. Cooper was elected secretary
to keep the minutes of the director
meetings. About 25 attended the meet
ing. some of the centers sending other
representatives with their chairman.
Mrs. Georg Austin presided during
the session. Many of the centcrs have
new leaders for the year and several
new faces were noted among attend
ants

ALFALFA GROWING
INCREASES THIS
YEAR in VALLEY
Commissioner Waite Finds
Great Demand for Seed
of Alfalfa Here

With an average of IS sacks of alfal-
ia seed coming into the valley each
day for the past week, +. w. Waite,
horticultural conn issioIlr, expressed
the opinion Yesterday That the ranch
ers are at last waking up to the amaz-
ing possibilities in this country for al
falfa growing and are returning, TO
large extent, to the crop which can be
considered the foundation of the val
ley's success.
Each sack contains from 175 to $50
pounds of seed,' said Mr.. Waite, and
as II pounds of seed to the acre is q
good average, this means that enough
seed to plant approximately 1000 acres
has been coming into the valley each
day. OF course, some of this seed is to
be used in re-seediiig old alfalfa land.
but it is conservative to say at least
so per cent of it will be used to put
into new land This is indeed crafty
ing in more ways than one. 1t means
that the rancher is beginning to realize
that there is n demand for alfalfa right
here in the valley, also that he is
becoming aware of the fact that his
soil needs "a renewal of nitrogen in
order to raise crops successfully, and
that the best way to renew II is by
planting alfalfa. Dairymen and hog
men who have been bewailing the short
age of fodder for their stock will be
pleased to hear that there is to be
n large increase in the alfalfa acreage.
''In my opinion, this Increase is ono
of the most encouraging signs that the
valley is TO have a prosperous future.
4 h. HAtats al ha
ranehers We're putting in some new crop,
but we all know what alfalfa has done
in the past. There is. no uncertainty
about il and it win be the foundation
of good substantial prosperity.
Seed from Yuma, Bard
"Most of the alfalfa seed comes into
the valley from the Yuma and Bard
districts, and is distributed all through
the valley, from INLAND to Calexieo and
from Holtville TO Dixieland. One prom
inent rancher. Edward Forester, has
purchased four tons of seed for his
own use and for his immediate neigh
bors. There are three varieties of al
| falfa grown in the valley, Chilean
Or common, Smooth Peruvian and Hairy
Peruvian. Formerly there was more
Chilean grown than Of the other varie
ties, but now Ha'sy Peruvian is the
| most popular and it is this variety that
is in demand at present.
Each sack of seed is inspected by the
Horticultural department before it is
distributed for planting, and in this
way, precaution is taken against the
4! introduction of the alfalfa weevil or
| other pests, which would be injurious
to crops. There are very few objections,
however, according to Mr.. Waite, most
of the seed being of n very high grade,
particularly that from the Bard dis
triet.

4 motion was unanimously carried

tion.
The meeting of the home department

many matters of utmost importance
were discussed.
Start New Projects
The department will start in on two
new projects this fall, the first being

tions and the other the planning and
planting of farm home grounds.
The latter project is TO be started the
first week in October when Pro. Shep-

ing to give demonstrations in various
sections of the county. For the con-
yenience of the people, the county
has been divided into six zones and the
