Warning on Harm

According to the Farm Bureau,
the trucking interests in California
have established and are maintain
ing in Sacramento very strong
lobby to protect their interests at
the expense of the tax payers of
California. They are asking for a
10000 pounds load limit on the
highways of this state whereby it
has been proven that the highways
cannot stand load to. exceed 90
600 pounds.
Only 1-35 of the per cent of the
total number Of vehicles registered
with the state motor vehicle de-
partment are capable Of carrying q
load to exceed $4,000 pounds. Shall.
the interests of our entire state be
ieopardized to accommodate this
limited number of truck owners who
are using the public highways as a
right of way on which to do bust
ness? 1t is up to every tax payer
in California to get in touch with
II cir Legislators and see that leg
islation is provided which does moi
harm our interests and see that oul
highways are preserved.

by Press staff Correspondent

CALEXICO, Jan. 81. - Hereto
fore it has been something of a
habit for buyers to purchase cows
which have served their usefulness
to dairymcn and to take them over
into Mc&icali for sale for dairy pur-
poses. Or if not that, and refused
by local meat market people for
beef, they have found n ready sale
mt the slaughter houses in Mexicali.
Further than this, many tubcrcular
cows have been taken into Mexi-
cali and sold for dairy and beef
purposes, it is said.
BY action of the city council of
Mexicali, however, this has all been
changed, the office of veterinary
inspector having been created, and
Susano Meza appointed as vetcrin-
airy in charge, and hereafter all
cows taken into McXicali will have
to be able to pass rigid examina-
ton either as to age, grade o.
health.
This, it is said, is in order to
try and improve the dairy herds of

BRAWLEY HANGS
LECU MES SIGN

"plant Legumrs--Rcstore to the
soil what the crop consumes THIS
is the slogan Of the soil fertility
committee of the Associated Cham
beers of Commerce and has been Civ
en- TO the public in the shape of n
huge banner hung across the prin-
cipal street in Brawlev, where f. W.
Cuff. president of tine Associated
Chambers, has seen to it that the
necessity of giving attention to the
fertility of the soil is brought to the
notice Of all ranchcrs.
The Brawley banner is to be fol
lowed by banners in all the other
towns in the valley, and the propa-
ganda work of the soil fertility com
mittee will 90 on in the meantime
as it has been for several months
past. That this work has been ben
efieial and has been accepted in the
right spirit by the people, is unques-
toned, according to members of the
soil fertility committee. Ranchers
who formerly never gave though
to fertilization are now planting al

other cover crops and are eagerly
awaiting the results to their land.
ALI Interested
Not only the rancher, but the bus
mess man, merchant, banker and
professional man has become inter
ested in the restoration of the soil
fertility and can now talk of le-
gumes as Interestingly as a rancher,
even though he may never have
heard the word before last fall. He
is gradually realizing that the sue
cess of the valley and all in it, de-
ponds upon the prosperity of the
rancher and that what interests the
raneher should be interesting
to those who are dependent upon
his success for their livelihood. The
makeup of the Associated Chambers
soil fertility committee is good
sample of this, the members not be-
ing confined to ranchers but EN-
brace men in all walks of life.
There is still much ground to be
covered in reaching the people on
this important phase of ranching,

Analysis Proves
Gypsum of Real
Benefit to Soil

With reference to the use of
gypsum in connection with agricul
ture, G. II. Hecke, director of the
California state department of agri
culture says, "Gypsum doubtless
has its greatest value on the. soil
in an indirect way. Experiments
indicate that it is able in some
soils to change potash from un-
available to available forms which
can be utilized by plants. The
amount Of potash in the soil in such
a form that it can thus be liberated
is doubtless limited. The first few
applications of gypsum, however,
give good results, but later ones
are often without effect. In this
respect it is a tool by the careless
use of which the farmer may i'm
poverish the soil of potassium and
perhaps other elements to greater
extent than would otherwise be
possible. Boussingault made com
parative analyses of clover plants,
one sample having been grown on
land which had been treated with
gypsum and the other on untreated
land, the former showing much bet
ter results.

Farmers Who Put
in Barley Are
Happy Just Now

The farmers who arc responsible
for the 10000 acres Of barley plant
ed this year in the north end are
feeling mighty good just now with
the price of this staple crop now
quoted AT $50 per hundred. Ow
ing TO the scarcity Of the grain at
this time the price is not likely
to be lowered before harvest. On
the contrary those best informed
on the situation believe it will be
even higher in few months from
how. This is partly due to the fact
that so much barley was fed to
hogs and chickens on account of its
low price and also became less
than thousand acres of milo maize
were planted, of which not more
than 200 acres were threshed.
Seed barley brought a premium,
and it is safe to say that not Il
sack viii be held over until the
1923 crop is harvested. Some north
end farmers made record crops last
year, among them Smith and Fillmore
who averaged 80 sacks to the acre
on several hundred acres near rs
WELD went below % sacks to the
acre.
This is extremely good when it
is considered that the average far
MGR will figure on only about Ii
sacks to the acre, and some close
figuring must be done to come out
on the right side of the ledger at
that rate.

to come and get them as needed.

Five acres of onions, five acres

S. p. to Protest
New Mexican Tax
On All Traffic

c. w. Runge, district freight and
passenger agent of the Southern Pa
cific COMPANY, today received the
following telegram from headquar
ters of the company at San Francis
co: "Advices were received by the
Southern Pacific company from the
Mexican government today, that eff
fcctivc at once, the new tax of 10
per cent of the gross revenue will
be collected on both freight and
passenger traffic, whether local, i'm
port, export or transit, within the
republic. This tax is in addition to
the present tax of two per cent, and
will be payable by the payer of the
transportation charges. Under this
tax, the Mexican government, in the
case of shipment from some point
iii the United States to point in
Mexico, will collect 10 per cent of
the freight charges accruing to the
railroads in Mexico. The Southern
Pacific officials advise shippers to
take into consideration this increas-
ed cost in planning shipments from
or to points in Mexico.'
No further information has been
received in reference to the tax,
according to Mr.. Runge, and it is
already being collected by the Mex
lean officials. Railroad men are in
hopes that some arrangement. can
be made with the Mexican govern
mcnt at least for Il reduction in the
tax, but until such al arrangement
is arrived at, the provisions of the
new tax must be complied with.
