.BRAWLEY WELL HITS
STRATA OF Gil SAND

Keen interest attaches to the op-
erations on the Brawley oil well sched-
uled to be resumed after shutdown
caused by the inability to get fuel oil
during the storm that made all roads
impossible, says the Brawley News.
When the work ceased the drill was
reported to be II feet deep in sand
which carried percentage of oil.
How much cannot be determined until
further tests have been made. These
were discontinued when the fuel ran
out. The sand is of fine character.
The new oil and sand strata was
struck close to 3700 feet. The previous
strata of oil sand was hit at 26OO feet
and it has always been believed by
the directors that it is possible to de-
velop the 2600 foot strata if nothing
is found at greater depth.
Assemblyman w. F. Beal, who has
been closely watching operations, says
if the sand is of sufficient thickness
it may develop sufficient oil toware
the bottom, especially if it runs tt
considerable thickness.

The demand in Los Angeles for lee

Most of the cars brought an average
of $175.
The New York market showed brisk
demand with Imperial Icebergs quot

Advantage of Farmers Or
ganization Pointed Out and
Some of Accomplishments
Told as Reason for Joining

The annual Farm Bureau member
ship drive is now on and the farmers
of Imperial Valley will be asking why
they should join the Farm Bureau,
says F. G.. Henderson in an article in
the Imperial Valley Farmer.
The big reason is in order that the
Farm Bureau may continue.
The local benefits that we have
received from the Farm Bureau dur
ing the last year are many-so many
that most Of Us are inclined to take
them for granted. If we should sud
denly lose the Farm Bureau from I'M
peral county it would effect most of
our daily lives.
The Farm Bureau has developed an
interest in better farming. 1t has
brought us new information of ines
timable value along dairying, grape
growing, grape fruit growing, poultry
culling and pest-control lines. 1t has
introduced Une COW leSLiIS dSSOC4st-
tions, the soil auger for testing the
adaptability of our soils. new barley
seeds, the Athel tree as windbreak
and many other improvements. The
Home Department has brought into
our> homes hat and garment making
and more efficient methods of cam
ming and drying fruit and vegetables.
Farm Bureau Idea
The present prospect for the elimin-
alton of the mutual water companies
may properly be classed as Farm
Bureau accomplishment, because this
idea was born in the Farm Bureau
and has been steadily fostered by it.
The Boulder canyon dam and with it
the solution of our permanent divers
ion and flood control problems is also
to be credited to the Farm Bureau.
