IMPERIAL FORMS
SPARTAN NOTCH"
By Press Starr Correspondent

IMPERIAL, March 26.-A meet
of of the local Y. NJ. C. A. was held
recently in the basement of the
Community church. Roy s. Melvin,
County y. M. G.. A. secretary, was
present. Rev. j. A. MeGaughev
gave talk to the boys in which he
emphasized the fact that they were
now starting what he hoped would
be a life time membership III the
Y. Nj. c. A., calling attention to the
fact that when they had finished
their boy work they should natural
lv graduate into the eli " and
then into the regular membership of
the Young Men s Christian Associa-
ton. The boys seem greatly inter
ested in the possibility of their be-
ing able to participate in the activi-
ties OF these associations wherever
they might live. DIR. McGaughey
stated that he had since bovhood
been member of the Y. M. c. A.,
and had, when going into large cit
les, been accorded the privilege of
using the swimming pools, the bust
ness mems gym classes, and very
often he had used the dormitory IA
cilities, where excellent rooms were
available for outside members of
the Y. NJ. c. A.
The boys all agreed to fix and use
the basement of the Community
church as an athletic and club room
and are practieing for their first
game of baseball with the various
other Notehes to be played.

CalexicO Beats
Local Boys 3
Score is 1913
BY r. J. KLIEGEL

CaleXieo high won from Central
on the border city diamond Satur-
day afternoon by score of 10 to
8. Although the score was large
the game was intensely interesting.
AT the first of the seventh inning
the local boys were ahead by one
run, but through a close decision
and a general shake up lost the lead
o Calexico.
FL Centre went into. the game
handicapped by the absence of
their regular first baseman who
has been down with the FLU.
Hurst, who was in the box, pitched
a fine game considering the little
practice he has had. In the first
three games of the season the near
est to winning the Central team
has come is the tie game between
Calipatria and the locals. With the
team gradually being built up by
new men the future looks more
than promising. Willingham, the
Calexico pitcher, did more than
pitch. At five times to bat he
made three hits and two runs. klie-
gel was the high man for Central at
tho bat, getting a walk, three hits
and a strikeout, and scoring three
runs.
The summary is as follows:

grown in any other section Of the
United States, despite the difference
in precipitation"
The Campbell corporation grows
two crops of wheat with n plow-
ing. The ground is plowed in the
spring after the weeds have a good
start, along in May or the early part
of June. In the fall it is seeded to
winter wheat. The following fall
after the crop has been harvested the
ground is disked with a good sharp
disc and the straw from the combined
harvester and stubble is cut right
into the ground. This, says Mr..
Campbell, keeps the moisture in the
ground from evaporating. 1t is then
seeded with not to exceed 20 pounds
of wheat to the acre.
"In every instance in our expert
ence,' says he, "the second crop has
been better than the first. 1t re-
duces the cost of the two crops a
total of about 50 per acre, and the
beauty of the winter wheat crop is
that it keeps the ground clear. We
have been farming for five years now
and we haven't a Russian thistle on
the place.
But the ground must be di; ked
before the stubble is sown. We have
found that this tillage is all import
ant. 1t is equally as important as
the moisture"

HOMESTEADERS WILL BENEFIT,

Provision whereby the secretary of
the interior may designate, under the
enlarged homestead act and the stock
braced in subsisting or perfect home
stead entries of 100 acres of less as
bases for additional entries, has been
made by Congress, according to in
formation given out by the United
States land office in Missoula.
Under the enlarged homestead act,
entrymen with 160 acres or less 10 the
forest. reserves may make entry on
additional lands which when added to
the original entry will not make more
than 800 acres, and residence on the
original entry will be credited on both
entries, but the required cultivation
must be made on the original entry.
The lands taken on the subsequent en-
try must be for lands outside the for
est reserves, and under the act with
in a radius of 20 miles of the lands
embraced in the original entry.
According to the information given
out at the Missoula land office, the
provisions of the act referring to the
Observation-Disclosures act, the home
stead entrymen within the forest re-
serve who has made entry on 160
acres or less, may file on grazing
lands outside the confines of the for
est reserve within a radius of 20
miles from the original entry, and
when the total acreage for which en-
try is made is not more than 640
acres. Residence upon the original
entry will be credited on both en-
tries, and stockraising improvements
must be placed in the additional en-
try equal to $1.25 per acre.
This, it is pointed out by land Of
flee officials, is a new departure and
will greatly benefit the hoHesteaders
who are in the forest reserves and
who have heretofore been unable To
make further entries. 1t is stated
the privilege OF filing on lands with
in a radius of 20 miles from the or
iginal entry will be of benefit to

he. I'VE have proved to our own sat
isfaction that wheat growing here is
less hazardous than in the Red river
country of North Dakota, where my
family has engaged in farming for
40 years.
"In Big EOrn county, for instance,
we have an average annual precipi-
tation of 1914 inches, with a very
small run-off, because the rains come
and the SHOWS melt at times when the
ground is not frozen and is in condi-
ton to absorb moisture. In the Red
river valley of North Dakota the av-
erage annual precipitation is from 20
to % inches, with a run-off of from
A to 5 inches. / am not guessing at
these figures, they are state records.
about two inches of the Red river
country's rain comes in the fall, just
at a time when it i~nterferes with
harvesting. Your grain sprouts in
the bundle, in the shock and in the
stack, and you have to get out and
turn it and oftentimes your wheat
is injured to such an extent that il
falls below all grades in the market
ing. In Montana when we start to
harvest we know that we are going tc
be able to finish the job, and wher
we get through our wheat is the
highest in gluten content of any that
reaches the Minneapolis market, with
the exception of Manitoba wheat
And in future years the price Of
wheat is going to be based largely
on the gluten content, which repre-.
sents milling value. Our Montana
wheat brings a premium in the Min.
neapolis market which offsets to Z
large extent the handicap of create,
freight rates which operate to orr
disadvantage.

GALLATIN WAY is
BEING IMPROvEB

Yesterday the county commissions
ers went up the West Gallatin on Of
fetal business TO see about the right
of way and grades of the improved
highway from Buck creek on to the
park. The federal government has
recently allotted $125,OOo for the i'm
provement of this road from Buck
creek to as far as the money lasts.
The idea is that a similar amount may
be appropriated next year to finish
the road to the park itself.
Gallatin county must furnish the
right of way for the road, the federal
government paying for all improve
ments. 1t was to look after this right
of way business that the commission
ers made the trip.

MONTANA DECLARED
BEST WINTER
WHEAT SECTION

BILLINGS, May 81. Montana is the
best winter wheat country in the
United States, according to Thomas
D. Campbell, manager of the Camp
bell farming corporation. Mr.. Camp
bell also asserts that the crop pros
poets for this year are the best since
1913.
The Campbell corporation farms
10000 acres on the Crow reservation
near Hardin. This year it has TO-
900 acres in winter wheat and 10000
acres in spring wheat. The concern
has been operating in Montana for
five years.
"Our success in Montana and our
confidence in the agricultural posi-
bilities that exist here are perhaps
best Illustrated by the fact that we
