JUDGE MAYFIELD
BOOSTS BUREAU

'Thc Farm Bureau is one OF Che
most successful cooperative Organiza-
tions in the country and through its
efforts the farmer has been able to
market his produce at a fair price, buy
at a minimum, and receive valuable
advice and assistance says |. May
field, justice Of peace, telling of work
of the Imperial county bureau. Before
the Farm Bureau was dreamed of a
number of Imperial Valley farmers be-
gan to talk cooperation. That was
back in 1919. Judge Mayfield was one
of the small group of farmers who ad-
vocated some kind of organization that
would be of material assistance in ad-
vancing the interest and work of I'M
perial s agricultural producers.
In an interview with Press repre-
sentative Mr.. Mayfield tells of the
early stages of a farmer organization
and later of the merger with the Farm
ers National Educational and Coopera-
tive union. He says:
cit was early in the summer of 1919
that / wrote an article for publication,
suggesting to the farmers of the valley
that we have mass meeting and dis
cuss the proposition of getting together
on some kind of cooperative basis, look
ing to our mutual interests, betterment
of facilities for marketing and shipping
of our produce. This letter was pub
lished in the Imperial Valley Press,
then at its old home on Main street.
Gas a result of the letter and
through some personal work, a meeting
of the farmers was called. Even the
Coachella Valley was represented by a
man who told us the farmers in that
section wished to join. In September
we organized with 81 members and be-
gan to make proper legal negotiation
for a corporation. We employed the
firm of Eshelman and Swing, composed
of the late John M. Eshelman and sub
sequently lieutenant governor, am d
Phil Swing, present congressman, to
prepare our corporation papers.
"About that time We had heard of
a national farmers organization and
inquired into its operations. A man by
the name of Walsh, state organizer for
the Farmers National Educational and
Cooperative union, believing that it
answered more of our requirement than
the one the men formed. A warehouse
and distributing store in Los Angeles
was started and for over three years
we bought and sold our goods through
the union. We had farm paper with
John Mckinney as the editor.
"The organization finally went out
Of existence. Later in 1916, / believe,
the Farm Bureau was founded with
Walter Packard as the first farm ad,

WAITE EXPLAINS
JOHNSON GRASS

+. w. Waite. horticultural commits
sioner for Imperial county has the. fol-
lowing to say of johnson grass:
johnson grass IN California is gen
orally regarded as a pernieious weed,
though originally introduced into the
state from the southern states with the
expectation that it would prove as valu-
able forage plant in California as it
has long been in the south.
Probably the first importation of
johnson grass into this valley was
through the purchase of hay from Yuma
during the beginning of canal intruction
which infested considerable acreage
along the main canal north of Calexico.
By several years of hard work those in
festations have been eradicated. Every
effort is put forth by the mutual water
companies to keep the canals clean of
Johnson grass. For number of years
the noxious weed laws were such that
the burden fell upon the land owners,
which made it a serious handicap, due to
the fact that a great many ranches are
farmed by tenants. At the last legisla-
ture a law was enacted which made it
misdemeanor for anyone owning, leas-
ing or in charge of ranch to allow
JOhnSO grass TO go TO SEED ana subject
to fine or Imprisonment.
The great menace to Imperial Valley
is the fact that our irrigation water
comes through foreign country (Lower
California; where a great many acres
are infested with Johnson grass. In
fact, one district three miles long just
over the line, is badly infested. There
are farmers near the Mexican border OH
this side, who are positive that their
land has become infested with johnson
grass through the irrigation water. The
avs Of California are not operative i'll
foreign country, yet we are subject to
tbs menace.

INVADE MARKET
OF UNITED STATES
Mexican CantaI0upes Come in
Free and Take Cream from.
Home GrOUerS

First carloads of cantaloupes from the
west coast of Mexico, two weeks in ad-
vance of first shipments of Imperial
Velley fruit, were distributed in eastern
markets and brought high prices. II is
believed that the total output from the
Mexican fields this year will be over 500
arloads, most of which will be marketed
during the next few weeks, thus tax
ing the cream of the market from I'm
perial growers, who have long held the
privilege of marketing the first canta-
louIes.
The Mexican cantaloupe industry is a
new departure. The growing of these
is in the hands Of half
dozen Los Angeles shippers and grow
ers who have made considerable mys-
terry about their paintings, according to
; The Packer.n There are about 1900
acres in this crop along the West Coast,
but aphis has attacked many fields, so
that only about 900 acres show good
start. One concern has 800 acres at Ny
art, and at Tuxpam there is a large
acreage. The cantaloupes are marketed
by way of Nogales, Ariz. The first
were marketed in Los Ang-
eles on April 5, more than two weeks
in advance of the earliest date on which
the first Imperial cantaloupes have ap-
peared.

PRIZE FOR SWINE BREEDERS

With hogs selling at llH or IL cents
q pound, aud with tho prices of feeds
not too high. AN increased interest is
being manifested in the production of
pork in California. With decreased
pig crop in the East and with u large
acreage Of corn, II is highly probable
that fewer hogs will be shipped into
California during the coming year than
have bccn shipped in during the past
year. ~ the demand for pork products
continues, aud if the supply remains
constant, cue might expect the prices
Of hogs TO remain good. The president
OF the California Swine Breeders Asso-
citation is announcing a prize for the
best slogan Tor the California Swine
Breeders Association. This associa-
lion i composed of men producing pork
in California. In announcing this prize
Ne places upon IL no restriction, except
that the slogan should be sent with the
