BY reason of the blustery, inclement

were waiting with their baskets about

ever, feel no disconra2ement because
Of the inauspacious beginning, for The
reason that the great ed of the public

products of the small producer and it
is believed certain that under normal
conditions there will be fullsco-opcr-

MARKET LOW so
HOUSEWIVES
OF VALLEY
CAN EGGS
Instructions in Preserving
Methods Are Told
By Writer

Thrifty farmers wives of Imperial
Valley are canning eggs now when
the market for them is low, and they
say that it. pays. During the moulting
season the hens do not produce, and
often the family must do without eggs
at this time, unless the housewife has
been provident enough to ''put them
up" when there was a surplus and the
price on the market was low. Besides,
when the fresh eggs are bringing fab
rlous prices, thee preserved ones may
be used for cooking and baking and
leave the others to be sold to the grocer.
Minute instructions for preserving

quently published but it might not be
amss to repeat them here for the bene
fit Of those who have never tried it.
The first thing is, of course, to use
only perfectly fresh, clean, unwashed
eggs. Note the last requirement-un
washed. Stone jars or wooden buckets
may be used. Metal receptacles will
corrodc and may effect the eggs. Stand
the eggs on the blunt end iii packing
If the days gathering does not fill
the receptacle, put down what you have

inches above the eggs. Set in n cool,
dry place and do not move them. The
voks will be whole if they have been
properly packed and placed: the whites
will seem watery, but will beat readily
for cakes.
The following are the directions for
preparing the water glass solution to
be used in the packing:
Into ten quarts of boiled water
which has again been cooled, stir and
mix thoroughly one quart of sodium
silicate or water glass obtainaplc at

RICE GROWERS
ENLARGE ACREAGE

WILLOWS, Calf, March There
are o50,O00 acres of land in the Sacra-
mento valley of California adapted to
rice growing, according to Ralph +.
Merit, president-manager of the Cal
ifornia Rice Growers association, who
was in Willows last night and today.
He estimated that if these 100000
acres were devoted to rice the product
will be worth Approximately S10,00o,-
900 annually
At meeting of rice growers. here
last night Mr.. Merritt signed growers
with total of 27,010 acres of rice
land. They entered into five-ycar con-

FEBRUARY APPLES
SEEN AT UPLAND

Red apples on the trees in February
is a rare concession even for Califor-
MIA IS climate to make, hut the fact that
it does happen can be proved by any
one journeying to the Upland Chamber
of Commerce, where samples of this
fresh fruit out of season are being ex-
hibited. The tree itself is being ac-
corded position of much honor on the
ranch of DR. +. S. Marvin. on Baker
avenue. 1t is loaded with fruit which,
while small, is of the rosy rcdness most
desirable in apples, and is of good
flavor. The tree bloomed in October.

however, may not be ont of place in
this article, facts gatht red from those
who know the tree.
The botanical name of the tree, is
Tamarisk Articulata, but. the govern
ment is encouraging the pretty Arabic
name that we use here. 'Athcl. -
First of all il is a rapid grower, ever
green, droutEresisting and of hard
fiber so that it is no. easily whipped
to pieces by the wind. 1t is said to be
less of soil thief thar rhc eucalyptus,
and that as a consequence other trees
and plants thrive in close proximity to
it. The question as to whether the
athcl will sap the soil when grown to
larger proportions, has not of course
been demonstrated as it is stated, there
are none in Coachclla valley over six
years of age. However, its roofing
system is such that it probably will
never interfere with ether plant life
as the eucalyptus does. In addition to
being drouthresisting, the athel is not
effected by alkali, another desirable
quality for trees to be planted on the

FARM CONDITIONS
IMPROVING
Corn GroUers and .StOckmen of
Middle Vest Report Edsed
Situation

FREMONT, Nehr That there is
quite an easing of conditions in Ne
braska is generally conceded. The rise
in prices of agricultural products has
resulted in liberal marketing with u
greater inflow of money which is used
for paving loans, and stimulating busi-
ness. There can be no question but im
iproved times are ahead of the agricul
tural regions Of the middle west. Henry
C!ews' Financial Review Of the past
week says:
''Onc of the most notable facts Of
recent weeks has been the Improvement
in the condition of the farmer due to
the advance of agricultural prices.
While this increase has, of course, not
been so pronounced in cotton, which
scored its advance last autumn, it has
been very marked IL cereals and in
other agricultural products, the benefit
TO the farmer being anywhere from ID
to 20 per cent at points of shipment.
One effect Of this improved state Of
things has been the liquidation of loans
in no inconsiderablc degree among
banks which had previouslyt had q
good many of their assets { frozen.
Although the upward movement in
farm prices appears to have started at
the time of the large purchases Of food
stuffs made for Russian relief, it has
continued largely Independent Of that
operation, and now apparently repre-
sents a better adjustment of farm con
ditiolis 70 the general world situation.

Athel Tree Favored

Often IN gatherings of men, the sub.
icct Of shade for Imperial Valley homes
and roadsidcs is spoken of, and as
often as the subject is mentioned, one
hears of the Athcl tree, which is rapid

desert sections
Already over 5000 cuttings of the
tree have been set out this winter in
Imperial county with a probability of
many more being planted before the
season is too far advanced
The Athel tree comes from the Lyd-
ian desert and where it has been tried
under conditions similar to its native
land, it has thrived and become thing
Of beauty. Some sections have been

FL CENTRO PUBLIC MARKET IS OPENED TODAY
HOW DO YOU LIKE
EN-, BROWN OR WHITE

Brown eggs or white ones
which will you have? Boston and
the New England custom general
ly, demands the brown ones, but
New York and Philadelphia pay a
premium to get the white shelled
eggs. Experts say there is not the
slightest difference in the two as
to nutriment, but if the customers
must have their color sense salts
fled, it will pay the producer to
meet the demand. Wyandottes,
Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island
Reds lay brown shelled eggs. Leg
horns and Minorcas, produce the
white ones.

said
"The Lubbock Building and Loan

100000 TO five members for

three other members aggregating ST.
10000. all three homes will begin

S homes in practically one year.

"A man in New Mexico has taken
three full paid certificates of 5000
each, and a member here in Lubbock
put in $4,000 cash on so shares Of
full paid stock. Three members have
$4,000 prepaid stock on which they
paid $1,000 cash. Over 100 mem
bers are paying on the installment
plan, from $500 to $1,000 per
month and some young men il town
are paying from $4,000 to $4,000
per month out of their wages. We
suggest that manageable young Ia

thrifty young fellows-do you take
