C0RBIN SCREW CORP. HUSTLING CONCERN
Grew Into Big Plant From Modest Beginning

1 The Corbin Screw Corporation was formed through the initiative of tho ] Russell ,S Erwin owners in the field of manufacturing wood screws. AL
 most from the first day Of it's forma ! ton, tho demand for the products of 1 the coneefp ras great and the busi- ness grew until today, with it's branch plants scattered throuEiou tine coun- try, ii forms one or the biggest and most productive manufacturing com oinations Of the nation,
 ! The corporation was started in 1875 and 10 years later, a large factory en- gagged m the same lines in Dayton. O., l was purchased and with the increased facilities for manufacture, he busi- ness started on its tour Of the world. This latest addition to the concern gave 1t q central distributing point for ] its products.
 l r. X r. Corbin also became en- 1 gagged in the manufacture Of wood screws which il shipped with its locks and builders hardware and sthc growth Of this branch catl~well bo al iributed to Charles Glover who en- tered tho employ of the concern shortly after the screw business was started.
 He designed machinery which was superior to any other in gso and soon
 r. X F. Gorbin was manufaciuring screws as \ merchantabe article. Tho plantswaa enlarged and moro ma- chincry was added nHtil this branch Of the business became an important actor in the life of the concern.
 When the American Hardware Corp was formed. this buainrss WITS consolidated with the Corbin Screw Corp and tho combination accelorai- ed the business tp such degree that tho concern now rates as one of the biggest in this particular line.
 New buildings were erected, now machinery was added and the lines were embelished and added 10 until, with basic product of wood screws, the other lines soon became known in all the markets of tho world.
 Tho growth of business was so rapid that in 1go7 the present six story building was, erected. A por- ton Of the ground used by the new corporation was taken over in 1905 rnd consisted of the old St. Mary's church property, including church, convent and parochial school on High street from Myrtle 10 T'afayctte, and in 1909 another sis-s'ory building was erected on the church site.
 The buildings on the former church site were used for the housing of tho automatic screw machines and short ly after the erection of the latter building the corporation purchased tho entire equipment Of the Universal Screw Co Of Hartford and turned out a line Of bicycle parts, magnetDs, spark plugs, motorcycle paris, etc. The company Kept advancing it's wood screw business at the same time if dctrioped the other lines and today il ranks among tho conntry's leading producers Of wood screw, as well as bolta. nuts and other automatic scrC Y machine products. Thc rorbiH coaster brake for bictclcs is made here, as is nationally known brake for motor cycles. Probably the most oHistand- irr prndni of tho Corbin Screw plant

BRAWLEY SCENE
OF EXTENSIVE
BUILDING ERA
Buildings Worth 100000
Under Way or

That building operations and pres
,peritv are not confined to any one
section of the valley alone is SHOWN
by the activity encountered in ev-
cry town in the valley. Northend
and southend alike are seeing new
enterprises launched daily and there
is /: hustle in he air that bespeaks
the fact that the dark days are far
behind aud bright new era OF
prosperity aad eontentment upon
us.
Brawley, in particular, right now
is the scene of extensive building
operations. Part of this is due to
the two disastrous fires that visited
that town a few months ago; and
part of it is the natural result OF
improved conditions.
The good old hammer and saw are
making music. in the ears of BraW-
!evitas and when the present pro
iected program is complete, the
northend city will have a splendid
new aggregation of buildings Of
which it may well be proud, The

Realizing that the prosperity of
the nation depends upon the pros
perity of its agriculture, the United
States congress enacted the Smith
Lever act providing funds for ex-
tension work in agriculture and
home economies. These funds were
to be duplicated by each state de-
string the work. and each county
was also required to pay its share
of the cost. In California the state
and the government pay the salaries,
and certain expenses, while the
county board Of supervisors PAYS
the field and office expenses Of the
extension workers in their county.
In 1922, when the whole of the
United States hit rock bottom as
far as the prosperity of the farm
ers was concerned, ana Imperial
County looked as black as the rest,
the bankers, merchants and board
of supervisors realized that the
sooner the farmers came back
to prosperity, the sooner the
county would show as a white
spot on the. country s prosper
ity map. Accordingly instead of
cutting down on the number af eX-
tension service workers in the
county, one more was requested
from the University of California
and United States Department of
Agriculture to specialize in d"iry
Improvement. This made one farm
advisor, two assistant farm advisors
and one home demonstration agent.
The prosperity of locality is not
necessarily reflected III increased
work for these extension agents, be-
cause their program of work for the
Improvement of agriculture ana
home economics for the coming ' ear
carefully planned at the beginning
of each year, is Systematically car
ried through whether farmers are
prosperous or not For instance in
September of this wear, these FOUR
workers made 135 farm visits, Civ
ing help to the operators ON some
problem Three hundred twelve rer
sons came to the office and "eceiv-
ed information enabling them to
improve their conditions One hun
dred fifty two letters were written
inquiries as to how to |
solve some problem. Seventy rcr |
sons were given advice over the tel
ephone. 1451 copies of % circular
etters. and u articles on agrieul- |
.ure Improvement were written. Six
cen meetings with an Attendance;
# 1881 persons were attended and
on some phase of exten-
ion work. These figures show no
increase over figures fer
1928, or September 1922,
because the figures are about limit !.
capacity for the extension workers
to take care of in addition TO their
regular program of work.
Cow Testing Popular
1t would however, be surprising
were not some of the prosperity so
evident throughout the Imperial
Valley responsible, in part at least,
to the activities of the agricultural
extension service.
In the fall of 1922 the agfieul-
tural extension service organized
the COW testing association and
this wear the members are reaplng
the benefits. Dairymen have been
shown conclusively which are their
boarder cows and which are the
ones that are bringing IN money.
Dairvmen have used the data Cd
tanned from testing their cows, they
have weeded out and sold to the

butchers almost 500 cows that were
losing them money. Members Of the
COW testing association clone have
made an averaga OF more than so
dollars profit each above the ecst
of 'sesting. s-.
in 1922 the extension service
started distributing a superior strain
of dwarf milo maize that had been
developed at the University of Cal
ifornia Meloland Experiment sta
tion. Of the approximately 10000
acres of milo maize in the comfy
this year. between $4,000 and 80,
coo acres were planted with this
seed. This strain of dwarf uilo
maize is much heavier yielder,
and the seed is absolutely pure.
Growers wAo used this seed should
profit by from So TO $40 per acre.
SimilGt work is being conducted
with eantaloupes, peas, Lettuce,
wheat, barley, alfalfa, dates, grapes,
poultry, etc. In short, agricultural
industry in the county is receiving
attention from the extension SER
vice with view to solving some of
the problems confronting the grow
ers
In the fall of 1922 the agrieul-
tural extension service first advo-
Gated using cornstalks to wrap
young grapefruit trees to protect
them fror frost. Demonstrations
were given in the fall of 1922 and
again in 1923, with the result tLat
in the winter of 1922 more titan
IS per cent of the Young trees we're
so protected and in the wis ar of
1923 more than 81 per cent were so
wrapped. The beautiful condition
of the groves that were so project
ed, rs eontrasted with the groves
left unprotected, is a startling re-
minder of the value of the agrieul-
turaI extension service.
Home Economics Work
In home economies work. the farm
homes have been greatly improved
through the home furnishing pro-
iect This makes for greater con
tcntment of the women and chill
dren on the farm. As a result of
the nutrition project, thousands of
persons living ON the farms are
learning how to maintain and i'm
prove their health by preparing and
eating proper foods. The clothing, |
Fhe hat making, the home gardening
md all the ether projects mean |
lealth aud eontentment in the home |
which after all is the purpose CT |
he striving for prosperity.
These are only samples of the
sort of work being done for the
of ths rural condi
tions of Imperial Valley by the agri-
cultural extension service.
While the extension service IS in
the main concerned with problems
of production, the Improvement of
the distribution of the agricultural
products of the valley has received
considerable attention. Aid was
rendered in organizing the Imperial
Valley Milk Producers Associa-
tion, the Imperial County Farm Bu-
rpau Grain Exchange, the Imperial
Valley Asparagus Growers ~Associa-
ton. the Imperial Valley Grape
fruit Growers Association, and the
Imperial Grape Growers Associa-
ton. That these organizations have
been directly responsible for con,
siderable snare OF the prosperous
condition Of the farmers of the val
lev everyone familiar with the facts
readily admits.

Progress March
Drives Out Rats
by the Thousands

j PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 29.-Port-
land is in need of a Pied Piper, in
view of the thousands of rates which
are seeking new habitations and re-
vealine their density of population
as old landmarks give way in the
march of progress.
When the old Burnside bridge was
being torn down to make way for
a modern structure, thousands of
rats which had lived in its hooks
and crannies came ashore and sought
sanctuary along the waterfront and
in downtown Buildings, to the con-
sternation of shopkeepers and resi-
dents.
H. s. Speer of the United States
biological survey, has been engaged
in finding means for removing the
nuisance. He estimates that the
city is supporting 100000 rats, each
rat with capacity for destruction
of So worth of property annually.
