BOYS CALF CLUB
PLANNED BY ELLIS;
TEACHES DAIRYINC
Southern Trust To Assist
in Purchase of Calves
by Club Members

Organization work Of the Boys Cali
Club is going ahead satisfactorily, ac-
cording to Ray Ellis, assistant farm ad-
visor, and the prospects are exceedingly
promising for n very successful club.
As yet the work has consisted chiefly
in putting the subject of n calf club
before the boys by means of their
| teachers and by visits to the farm cen
ters. 1t is hoped soon to begin signing
up those boys who signify their willing
ness to enter the club and abide by
! its rules.
Owing to considerable detail work
| involved in the organization of such a
club, Mr.. Ellis believes it will be the
first of the year before the first con
test under the rules of the club will
be started. After obtaining the names
of those boys who wish to enter, each
boy has to be investigated, and in
eases where money has to be advanced
for the purchase of a calf, further in
quiry is necessary thus holding back
the start of the club.
Mr.. Ellis says the idea has proved
popular wherever it has been suggested
but he realizes that many boys who
become very enthusiastic at the out
set are likely to lose their enthusiasm
after the club is under way and it is
up to them to care for their calf, there
fore none but boys who are absolutely
sure to stick with the club once they
enter, are to be accepted.
The object Of the club as explained
in the Press two weeks ago, is to give
boys an opportunity to get started in
the dairy business for themselves by
enabling them TO purchase calves which
they will have to care for themselves
and conform to certain rules laid down
by the club. Where a deserving boy
is unable to purchase a calf himself,
the necessary money will be advanced
by the Southern Trust and Commerce
bank Mt convenient terms. Contests
win be conducted by the club to show
the progress made by the boys and
those who abide by the rules faithful.
ly will have the foundation of good
herd when they reach their majority.
None but purebred stock is to be pur-
chased for the boys and each boy will
be allowed to choose his own breed.

STRAWBERRY KING
URGES PLANTING
MORE in VALLEY
Says 1000 Acres in Berries
Would Not Do Injury
To Big Markets
By Special Staff Correspondent

CALEXICO, Oct. l1.--C. B. Locklin,
Van Nuys premier strawberry grower
of the state of California, was a visitor
in Calexico yesterday, the guest of
William Won Mueller, local berry grow
er.
Mr.. Locklin S visit here was for the
purpose of interesting local ranchcrs
and truck farmers IN strawberry cul
ture, and he is endeavoring to have at
least 100 acres planted to that fruit
in this section this fail.
Mr.. Loekliu was very forcoful in his
statements rs to tho possibility of
growing berries in this section, and
claims that no part of the United
States is better adapted to the growth
of this fruit than the Imperial Valley,
and that Calexico is no different than
any other part of the valley in that
respect.
Owners of approximately 20 acres
thus far tentatively agreed to plant
five acre tracts of berries, and num-
Der of others are seriously considering
making the venture.
Mr.. Locklin has concluded contracts
III tit I sN'ti'h iVi itV ''NA &c
of berry plants, little over mil
lion plants, and expects TO supply suf'
ficient plants to set out 60 acres in
the Brawley district this week.
Babying" Strawberries plants is a
thing of the past, when one man could
handle between one and one half acres
of berries. Today, under the system
for the culture of berries as devised
and perfected by Mr.. Locklin, one
man can easily handle five acres, and
have time TO spare.
At Brawley, japanese berry growers
have realized enormous profits from
the growth ana production of straw
berries, one particular patch of four
acres having yielded revenue of
more than $4,000; $4,000 per acre.
a thousand acres of trawberrits 5,
according to Mr.. Locklin, producing at
that time of the year they do in this
valley, will never glut the markets,
and that Eastern cities will absorb the
product from such an acreage and call
for more.

Salts Fine for
Aching Kidneys
Eating too much meat may clog
the Kidneys, then the
Back hurts.

Most folks forget that the kidneys
like.the bowels, get.sluggish and clogged
and need a flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu-
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stom-
ach, sleeplessness, and all sorts OF
bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney re-
gion get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in a glass. of wa
ter before breakfast for q few days,
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also helps
neutralize the acids in the urine SO it
no longer irritates, thus helping to re-
ieve bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless, inexpensive; ;
makes a delightful eGervescent lithia
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to help keep their
kidneys clean.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of dad Salts to folks who
believe in trying to correct kidney
trouble while it is only trouble

DOUBLE LETTUCE
CROP ESTIMATED
FOR NEXT SEASON
Expect 25,O00 Acres To Be
Planted To Lettuce
in Spring Here

1t has been estimated that $4,000
acres in Imperial county will be plant
ed to lettuce this fail, double the ac.
reage of last season. An attempt has
been made TO discourage the planting
OF so great an acreage to one crop,
with what result remains to be seen,
Planting is being rapidly carried ON in
all sections of the valley, some of the
tlelds being re-planted, the continued
neat of the last few weeks having de
vltiated the seed. Plans for coopera-
tive marketing have been considered
with nothing definite in that direction
decided upon.
Many believe that the growers are
taking a very great risk in pinnino
their faith to lettuce with so large an
acreage to be sown. They doubt if
the market can absorb so much at a
price that will pay the producer. In.
fuence is being used to get farmers
TO plant the permanent crops to a
greater extent, with less profit per.
maps but more certain sale of their
products.

PLANTING TIME
OF STRAWBERRY
CLOSE AT HAND
Seed Dealers of Imperial
Valley Have Supply
of Plants Ready
By J. c. ARCHIAS

The demand for early Strawberries
in the last few seasons has exceeded
the supply and many of the fortunate
growers returns from an acre of straw
berries have boon lar more than the
value of the land.
Improved Klondiies arc always III
demand as as our season is earlier
than practically any other part Of the
United States we nave n very broao
market with practically no competi-
ton.
Strawberries, as is commonly known.
vii stand many years i'll the original
beds without rcplantingi and while
there is some expense in thinning ami
cultivating it is not Il crop commonly
known as expensive to produce. 1t
requires about five thousand Ilanto
TO the acre with an acreage price in
quantities Of about $500 Il thousand
for Arkansas Improved Kloa likes,
which is thoroughly proven TO be the
best Strawberries grown in the valley.
The plants do well in medium to
light soil and require but little ferti-
lizing and comparatively small eX-
pcnse for shook. One japanese grow
cr reported that he picked over 6000
crates of Improved Klondike straw
berries he grew the past spring net
ting him an average price of $2.10 q
crate, giving him $500 IN acre re-
turns. 4 reasonable acreage mp to
five to ten acres should be very safe
investment for any grower. \ conser-
vativc estimate would be about $500
IN acne for preparing the soil, planting
and the purchase price of the plants.

FARM ADVISOR IN
REASONS FOR cow
TESTING CONCERN
De Tar Gives Reasons Why
Farmers Need Cows
Tested by Experts
BY V. w. DcTAR
Assistant Farm Advisor J

Why should / join Il COW testing as
sociation! No doubt a large number
of dairymen in Imperial Valley viii
be asking themselves and their friends
this question during the next few
weeks. Those who are assisting the
dairy department OF The Imperial Coun-
ty Farm Bureau iii forming II COW
testing association Will attempt to an.
swer these questions. TO assist them
| wish to list the following reasons
why every dairyman i'll Imperial Coun-
tv should belong to Il COW testing asso-
citation.
l. A member of Il COW testing asso-
citation can determine just which of
his cows are paying profit and which
rare not paying for their feed and care.
>. He can feed his herd more lntelli-
gently if he knows which COWS will turn
their feed into butterfat and which
merely take on weight.
3. He can save the hcifcrs from his
best cows and thus build up his herd.
If pure bred sircs of good producing
strains are used he can often double
his production in one generation by
this means.
T.
his herd sire by comparing the records
of his heifers with the dams of these
heifers.
5. He can sell his good COWS and
their heifers for q better price.
These are not guesses, they arc
proven facts. Cow testing associations
have operated for many years and in
many places. In California there are
at present % such associations. The
Oldest of these is that carried on in
Humboldt county. 1t began its work
in 1909 and is still operating. As a
result the average production per cow
| in that county is approximately 800
lbs. butterfat per year. Some of the
| other leading dairy counties of Cali
fornia which have COW testing asso
| Citations are Stanislaus county, Los
| Angeles county, Merced county, San
| Joaquin county, and Kings county
| These counties each believe that u COW
| testing association is the best instru
ment to use in improving the dairy
production of the county. Therefore
Mr.. Dairyman, Il cow testing associa.
tion is not an experiment, it is rather
well tried instrument which vou
might well be using to improve your
herd and thereby increase your in
come.
The dairy department of the I'm.
perial County Farm Bureau plans ia
form a COW testing association this
fall. They hope TO have it ready to
operate by some time in November. Ii
you are not satisfied with the income
Won are pettinr from vour hard o{
dairy COWS, sign up in this COW testing
association and with its help cuIl out
ysnr boarders, feed your good cows bet
ter and save the heifers from YOUR
best cows. ] am sure that YOU will
find it great help in improving your
herd

OCTOBER MONTH
FOR ONION CROP
PAINTINGS HERE
Profitable Market Is Due
This Year in Valley
for Producers
Bv J. C. ARCHTAS

Each season the average grower is
looking around for some crop that will
not be overdonc for the season. AS a
rule where any one crop has been more
or less of failure for the mast sev.
eral years it is stunned by everyone.
each year diminishing more until the
planting becomes so light that there
Is an abnormal price offered for the
product at the end of the season.
Then the next year everyone rushes
in to plant the crop That brought such
Dlg prices the pn5t season, censc-
quently the market is flooded and there
is another lack of Profit.
Crystal Wax and White Bermudas
are leading up to this state at present,
in other words Imperial Valley and
Coachclla Valley have been two of the
largest producers of Wax and Bermuda
onions in the west for Il number of
years. As mentioned above it has been
more or less overdonc, particularly be
cause many of the growers gather the
onions in the green state in order to
catch the early market, but owing to
the losses in the past few seasons the
onion growers have become discouraged
and after making close canvass of
the situation for this season, it is safe
to say that Coachella Valley will plant
less than so per cent of their annual
acreage and Imperial Valley less than
% per cent, The man who will plant
onions should have the benefit Of al
70 per cent advantage over the past
seasons for market and price.
Onions look better for profit the
coming season t1an any other crop in
the valley. The usual planting in In.
perial Valley is made any time during
the month of October, planting about
two pounds of seed to tho acre on
double ridges in medium soil. A few
acres of onions is safe gamble for
next season.

VARIOUS KINDS OF
PEAS AXE GETTING
TRIAL BY FARMERS
Garthwaite Tells of Work
To Develop Best Peas
for Valley Soil
BY f. L. GARTHWAITE
Farm Advisory

About 10 per cent of the peas grown
in Imperial Valley are of the Dwarf
Telephone variety. The characteristics
of this pea, which make it especially
valuable, are that it is a heavy yiclder
and good shipper, has well filled pods.
is u "dwarf variety, and sells well
on the market.
There are number Of varieties of
peas which have some characteristics
that are superior to similar charactcris
ties of the Dwarf Telephone. Whether
or not any of the very larbe number
of varieties Of peas have enough de-
sirablc characteristics superior to those
of the Dwarf Telephone can only be
found out by actual test.
In comprehensive tests, carried out
by the United States experimental
farm at Bard, Imperial county, over 1
period Of three years, the Pride of
Cahuaga, the Little Marvel, and the
Yorkshire Hero outvicldcd the Dwarf
Telephone. In 1917 these three varieties
! besides the Premium Gem and the
Motifs Excelsior outyipldcd the Dwarf
Telephone. 1918 the Dwarf Telephone
produced less than the Pride of Cahueu-
ga, the Little Marvel and the York

in yield to all other varieties, even
| though it gave the largest tonnage o.
all in 1916.
Planted October 2
All the paintings we're made on Oct
ober 2 The main crop OF Dwarf Tele-
| phone was not picked until April 10,
while the Premium Gem, Mott s Excel
slor and Stratagen all produced their
main crop Il week ahead of the Dwarf
Telephone. This factor of carlincsa
might make all the difference between
profit and loss, even discountng the
| danger from frost. The first peas to
go ON the market nearly always bring
several times the price per pound tha,
later peas bring.
Tho earliest of all varieties tried BY
the University of Arizona agricultural
| experimental station ut Yuma was Tho
Gradus. Planted in November of last
year, the main crop was ready fol
picking when the January 90 frost kill
ed it to the ground. No other variety
would have been ready for picking foi
q week. Had local growers planted
this variety it is quite probabiy y that
the main crop would have been picked
and sold by the time the frost came.
! After all the peas had been killed 10
the ground by the frost, the first
variety to recover and put on a full
crop for harvesting was the Dwarf
Gray sugar, consequently this variety
was the most profitable of any of the
varieties grown.
From time to time energetic farmers
and distributors in Imperial Vallev
have tried out different varieties OF
! peas and come to the conclusion that
they were good, bad or indifferent. At
| least the results of the trials have not
been made public, and growers through
out the valley are i'll doubt as to whcth-
er the Dwarf Telephone is the very
best variety or not
