Fire Proof Paint
Demonstration Is
Splendid Success

The demonstration of Somozos
Fire Proof Paint manufactured by
the Fire Retardent Products com
pany at Cos Main street, proved be-
yond a doubt that it was possible
by the use of this paint - render
an ordinary dry cedar shingle prac-
tically impervious to the menace of
flame.
\ torch capable of developing
heat of over 1900 degrees Fahren-
heit was applied to shingles that
had been painted three days ago
and although the flame burned Il
hole right through the shiagle, the
flame did not spread and rs soon rs
the torch was with drawn, it went
out.
Cloth that hed been previously
dipped in this paint proved to with
stand the flames equally us well as
wood, and tests OF different sub
stances showed IN almost miraculous
Tower of withstanding the ravages
of flame.
Those witnessing the tests were
very much impressed with what
they saw and consider it another
advance step in science. Due to
the fact that fires occur in the val,
ley ii would seem that this new dis
covery would play an important
part in the furthering Of prevention
Of fires.

POULTRY CULLING
EXPERT TO VISIT
VALLEY JUNE Is
Farm Advisor Urges Very
Great Importance of
Culling Hens

Arrangements are now being
made bv the Agricultural Extension
Service for a series of poultry Gull
ing demonstrations to be held in
various parts of Imperial Valley
on Monday and Tuesday, June %
and 90.
Prof. r. Il. Easson, poultry spc-
eialist of the agricultural extension
service OF lie University of Cali
fornia and the United States De
pertinent of Agriculture has been
secured TO demonstrate ne best
methods of determining unprofitable
hens.
According to Farm Adviser Garth
waite there is nothing mora needed
by local poultry producers than to
weed and cull out Il large number of
the unprofitable hens. An average
hen will eat - pounds of feed in q,
year. On an average, mash will cost
$500 per hundredweight, milo maize
will be worth to the farmer $50
per hundredweight, barley the same
and wheat about $500. Probably not
more than one-third of ri! the hens
in Imperial Valley get anv mash at
all; hence in taking the - pounds to
be half milo maize and half barley
the cost at $3.50 per hundred would
be $l.0s.
1t would take at 22 cents per doz-
en-, which is the average price re-
ceived for eggs by local producers,
) dozen eggs to pay for this poor
feed alone. Add to this $l.0S, the
cost of the green alfalfa eaten, cost
of labor in caring for and feeding
chickens, gathering, packing and
hauling eggs, and the cost would
run up to at least $3.50 per bird per
year. At % cents per dozen this
would nccessitate seven dozen or
81 eggs, that each hen would have
to lay before she would bring in 4
Profit to the poultryman. Consid-
oring the poor feed, care md hous-
ing most chickens here get, it is
doubtful whether average mems here
vii lay that many, and great
many will lay less.
PGultsv raisers should, according
to Garthwaite, not be content to let
lot of scrubby hens run around
not producing even enough eggs to
pay for their feed.

PROMINENT VALLEY
men LEAVE FOR
|. A. CONFERENCE

That Imperial Valley may be
brought in closer contact with Los
Angeles in a business way. that
there may be better feeling in
every way. the chamber of com
meree of the metropolis invited
this section to send a representative
delegation t othe city for a confer
ence, which. IS to be held there to-
day.
In the party leaving last night
were +. w. Cuff, president Associ.
ated Chambers of the Imperial Val
ley; John w. Scott, receiver of the
United States Land Office and a
delegate from the Associated Cham.
Der; President Ira Aten of the I'm
perial Irrigation District together
with Directors Earl G. Pound and
Mark Rose; Elmer w. Beald, com
mandcr of the lnterpost Council Of
the American Legion, together with
Captain 7. j. Worthington and Rev.
Geo. A. Hartman of. tine same organ
ization; q. \. Shaw of Holtville;
Manager G. G. Jenkins and b. ID. IT.
vine of the Imperial County Farm
Bureau.
1t will afford these men an oppor-
tunity to tell Los Angeles of the big
business secured by that city from
Imperial valley, 0f the fact that
Los Angeles is the clearing house for
n greater part of the 100000 600
in agricultural products grown here
and that much of the amount Re.
ceived for these products goes back
to Les Angeles for merchandise and
other necessities of the valley.
Attention will be called to the
fact that Imperial Valley is the
largest single unit Of the great back
country OF Los Angeles and that it
is their belief that the city should
cooperate with the valley in seeur
ing the passage of the Swing j John
son bill, should aid in getting the
