Creation of a road district to issue

the district, according to Deputy
District Attorney Harry Horton,
who was waited on by a committee
headed by Joel Corfman of Hcber,
seeking information as to the steps
necessary to establish such q dis
trict.
The district would include Hebcr
and run to the Mexican borler, TAX
ing in large area Of lands and a
large number of important ranch
roads.
AT present the exact confines of
the district are indefinite, also it's
objects, except the principal one
which is to enable the proposed dis
trict to build and maintain gravel
roads within its confines.
Want Roads Soon
According to Mr.. Horton, the sub
ject has been discussed by those in
teiested, for some time, dissatisfac-
ton being fell with the present con-
dition of the roads, particularly in
wet weather, and the belief that it
will be considerable time before the
county or state will be in position
to put the roads in the condition de-
sired. Several meetings are said to
lave been held, and at recent one
it was voted to appoint committee

ter.
To Find Method
Owing to the pressure of other
business, Mr.. Horton has been un-
able to give the matter any consid-
grafton as yet, but expects within
Il few days to look into the legal
aspect of the situation to ascertain
just what steps are necessary to au-
thorizc the formation of such dis
trict. He stated today that he is
not certain if such permission
must be obtained from the super
visors, or if some other method of
initiating action must be followed.
As soon as the legal steps have
been decided, Mr.. Horton will make
report to the committee and adj
wise them what procedure is ncccs-

SMITHSON HERD
HAS BEST COW
DURING mont H
w. r. Farmer Has Most
4O-Pound Cows in
Association
BY VERN DE TAR
Assistant Farm Advisor

The Imperial County Farm Bureau
Cow Testing Association has com
pleted its second month of testing.
It's work up to the present time
seems to be satisfactory to all con-
ccrned. 1t has earned enough mon.
cy to pay operating expenses and
no real complaints have come in
from the members of the association.
There is room, however, for Il few
more members. If any dairyman
wishes to discover just HON much
butterfat and milk each Of his cows
produces he should inquire at the
farm bureau office in FL Centre, and
find ont just what it will cost him
to do so.
During the month of January S3
herds and 2405 cows were tested by
the three testers now working. 249
of the 2405 cows produced 40 pounds
or more of butterfat for the month.
The greatest number of 40 pound
COWS in any one herd was ~. w. r.
Farmer of the central district hav-
ing that number. Two dairymen,
j. p. Bayerque and w. b. .Havekorst
each had II 40-pound cows, and three
dairymen, Thompson Brothers, A.
Balders and John Masscrini, each
had 10 40-pound cows. The best
herd average was made by J. p.
Baycrque Of FL Centro. His 25
cows each averaged 40 pounds but
.terfat for the month, and it is in
teresting TO know that Mr.. Bayerque
fed. only barley pasture and alfalfa
hay. The best record made by an
individual COW was 76.7 pounds but
terfat, This cow is owned by A. II.
SmithsOn of the Alamo section. She
is a registered Holstein COW. She
was fed alfalfa pasture and hay, sill
age and grain ration of barley,
brn nd cOttOnseed.
The best record made by a grade
co wwas ia pounds butterfat. H.
Jansen of Brawley owns this COW.
Mr.. Jansen was feeding alfalfa hav
only at theh time his cows were test
ed. Thompson Brothers Of Holtvillc
were a close second in this class, Il
cow owned by them making II 3
pounds butterfat. They fed alfalfa
pasture and hay.
