BIG PROGRAM in
BUREAU CENTERS
FOR NEXT WEEK
Farm Advisors To Address
Centers on Plans for
Fall Season

The full program of the Farm Bureau
mapped out for this week is proceeding.
The Northend Center opened the week
with rousing meeting on Monday
night; Iris Center met last night and
Lantana and McCabe Centers will hold
meetings tonight.
On Thursday night, Imperial Center
is to have its first fall meeting, Mag
nolia and Bard CCnters meet Friday
night, and the County Directors will
close the week s activities with meet
ing in Ell Centre Saturday to take up
vital matters concerning the work of
the Farm Bureau.
Farm Advisor +. l.. Garthwaite will
address most of the meetings, telling
the members of plans for the season,
and talking on other subjects of ed;i-
cational value. Assistant Advisors
Ellis and De Tarr expect to make the
rounds with Mr.. Garthwaite and Miss
o. A. Miller of the home department
has announced her intention of being
present, and will probably speak also.
With farmers, business men and bank.
ers all interested in the development
of some system of marketing that will
insure the valley against possible
table crop to be grown this fall, MIR.
Garthwaite believes that some definite
plan will be evolved in due time to
meet the situation. The producers ap-
parently will do their part toward the
growing of lettuce, spinach, peas, onions
etc, but it is the concensus of opinion
that unless some definite association
is perfected for the handling OF the
products, disaster is likely to follow
to the loss of the entire community.
The county board of directors of the
Farm Bureau will have the matter be-
fore them again on Saturday when
Messers Walter Havekorst and T. ID.
Mccall will make their report ON the
proposition of Mr.. Hunt of Hatch, Hunt
and Company, outlined in a communica-
tion presented to the directors at their
meeting two weeks previous

EXPLOITING INTELLIGENT Hug
RAISER

Some hog raiSers i'll various parts of
the country are complaining because
slaughtercrs insist that producers sell
their animals subject TO post -mortem
examinations for tuberculosis, and that
the hog raisers agree 10 stand for any
condcmnatons of carcasses or parts
thereof found TO be infected with germs
of the disease.
1t is indeed unfortunate that the
swine industry is menaced to so great
an extent by tuberculosis, especially
when it is possible to considerably re-
duce this serious infection by the use
of preventive measures.
When a. hog raiser persists in fatten
ing his animals ON tuberculosis material
and then expects the innocent purchaser
to pay him full value for them even
after they are found to be tuberculosis
it is quite apparent that his methods
of pure reasoning require revision. The
man who really deserves public sym
pathy is the intelligent hog raiser who
carries out every proved method for the
prevention of tuberculosis, because in
the large hog markets the buyer pur-
chascs on the basis determined from
of them will be condemned for tuber-
culosis
Since post -mortom examination is
the only exact method of determining
lhe extent of the disease, unfortunately
the careful breeder who observed all
the precautionary measures must suffer
equally with the one vino was careless.
1t has been found that tuberculosis
is transmitted to hogs in the following
ways:
'.Feeding raw milk and slime from
creameries.
Feeding separated milk from tuber-
culosis cattle.
Feeding tuberculosis carcasses of
various animals including fowls.
Feeding uncooked garbage. -
If all these sources of infection are
avoided by hog raisers the percentage
Of swine tuberculosis will be greatly
diminished.

CARRIER OF DANGEROUS DISEASE

The disease known as swamp fever
which occurs in horses in some sections
of this country has occupied the atten-
tion of scientific investigators for years
and neither the cause nor cure has as
yet been discovered.
That the subject has been given OK
temsive consideration is evidenced by
information the California Department
of Agriculture recently received from
the Government Expert Station in
North Dakota. In the year 1908 Il
young horse, now known to veterinary
science as North Dakota No. 636, was
purchased by the station and infected
experimentally with the germs or virus
of swamp fever. For about three years
thereafter the animal manifested all the
symptoms of the disease. The horse
apparently recovered and showed no
signs of having the disease until 1920
when a slight rise in temperature was
noted. Once every year since the ami
NAL became infected some of his blood
was injected into healthy horse and
in every ease it produced swamp fever.
About a month ago this experimental
animal developed typical symptoms of
swamp fever and died. The following
comment by an investigator with re.
gard to this horse is, quite interesting:
''His parallel in the medical science
world is the case of Typhoid Mary
who Travelled about the country appar-
emily healthy, but unknowipgly spread
ing typhoid germs. He further states
81 know of no other horse whose tenn
perature has been taken twice day
for a period of IA years and doubt if
medical science has recorded similar
temperature observations of human
which extended over so long period. y

The manager of brass band main
tanned by employees of a dairy company

lication the information that the music
produced by his band is so exhilarating
that dairy cattle when they hear il
yield more and richer milk No report
has been issued that any other kind

FOOT SORENESS

Cattlemen who drive their herds a

the roads are hard or stony sometimes
find that one or more of their animals
develop u lameness due tc foot soreness
which is brought about by the wearing
of the soles of the feet or from stone
bruises.
The condition occurs most frequent

Last winter considerable interest il

of the county. +. w. Waite, horticult
ural commissioner, is among th0s'
whose faith in the industry has neve
wavered since the first experiment,
was made in the early history of TIL,

Mr.. Waite has kept his eye on ever
effort that has been made to grow
dates for commercial purposes and ha
collected conside rablc valuable inform
alton on the subject, as well as som
interesting statistics. He recently Wis
ite1 the government station at Indie
to check up on importations of off
shoots to the valley, and inspected
some gardens, with the result that his
faith i'll dates as a revenue producer
is greatly increased.
The station at Indio mas a complete
record of all distribution of imported
date offshOots in Imperial county. Tht
first shipment, made in 1909 consist
ing of eight shoots, sent to the datt
garden at Grape, formerly Keystone
In 1910, five shipments totalling D
offshoots, were made to the valley
In 1913, 80 offshoots came in, and il
1914 the same number was brought in
Sixty four of the above total have
been reported to the station as dead
From the four shipped to Grape il
planted.
Careful Work Needed
Read Williams, Imperial, imported
$50 offshoots and they have developed
into thriving date garden. Mr.. Wait,
says that it is certainly beautifu'
sight to see the wonderful, large bunch
es of dates just beginning to ripeh.
When the bunclies have been properly
trimmed, that IS allowing only two
the dates, extra large, are uniform il
size.
Mr.. Waite inspected five acre trac:
while away which the owner expects
to set to date palms. Three and ono
half ;icres have already been planted
and the grower expects to get Off
shoots from the plants sufficient t.
set the balance of the acreage. He
stated that when the five acres are
in full bearing he desires nothing bet
ter as IA source of permanent income.
1t is stated that improved method
of handling and shipping are destined
to work wonders i'll substantial returns
to growers.
DR.. F. w. Hazeldine, inventor of the
Solar system of vitalization believes
that Oriental dates will be eliminate
from the markets of California as pro
ducers here learn the process of vital
