High Class Milo
Maize Seed Now
May Be Secured

The following article, prepared
by Ray Ellis, of the Agricultural
Extension Service, is of particular
interest to all growers of milo
maize, and covers various phases
of improvement of milo maize seed:
The profit to be gained from
growing milo in Imperial Valley is
dependant to a large extent on the
cost of harvesting and the 'produc-
tion per acre. The first factor is
governed largely by the uniform,
height of the corn and whether or
not il can be machine harvested.
If the stalks arc short and of even
height, a combined harvester can
be used, providing few minor
changes are made in the setting of
the reel and the concave and cylin
der teeth. The production factor is
governed by many things such as
various cultural practices, fertility
of soil, variety and also by the
strain of seed used.
The United States Department of
Agriculture some II years ago came
into possession of some very desir-
able milo seed which was sent to
the University of California. This
seed was grown at Davis for a year
or two and showed so much promise
that it was put out to a few farm
ers in Glenn County. In 1920 some
of this seed was sent to the Uni
versity of California Experiment
Station at Meloland and has shown
up the best of any variety each
wear since its introduction to the
valley.
Last year some 500 pounds of
this seed were put out with the
farmers of the valley and all of
them were well pleased with it.
The corn averages about four to

Local Company
Underbids L. A.
Ford Dealers

This week Edgar Brothers Com
pany was the successful bidder for
:, flee. of Ford eoupes and trucks
purchased by one of the large in
dustrial concerns in the city of Los
Angeles. The local concern was
represented by II. f. Pcndcrgast
and William j. Reid, who returned
last night, These men are elated
over their successful invasion Of Los
Angeles, and when it is remembered
that there are more than 20 deal
ers in Los Angeles alone and that
they had to compete also with the
principal dealers in the territories
adjacent to the city, their elation
seems reasonable.
Edgar Brothers Company now
ranks as one of the really large deal
ers in Ford produces. During the
month of March its volume of busi-
ness was exceeded apparently by
that of only one other dealer in
the Los Angeles jurisdiction, which
includes the southern half of the
state and Arizona. This company
handled through its local assembly
plant 20 carloads of Ford ears and
trucks. Il number of Fordson trac
.ors, approximately 200 cars, full
carload of extra parts direct from
the factory in Detroit, in addition
to the numerous large shipments of
parts from the branch in Los An
geles. Also it disposed of nearly
go used Fords.
But, good as was the month of

Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1924-01-09

The music of the American Indians
is solely and simply vocal 1t seems
to be generally agreed by musical
authorities that the Indians songs
have in them nothing borrowed from
instruments, nothing of artificial in
stigation. An Indian melody never
serves two sets of words, There is
no instance, it appears, where the
people have sung the different stan
zas of ballad to the same air.
A large proportion of Indian songs
are entirely without words at all
syllables being employed to carry the
tones. Perhaps the most striking
popularity of Indian music is the
lack of definite pitch. The Indian
begins his song where the natural
quality of his voice and his mood at
the time render it easier for him to
sing it. The pitch of the song de-
ponds upon the ndividual-Wash-

Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1924-01-09

AT q special meeting of the ELS
worth city government Monday it
was voted to make a new bond issue
of $4,000. The greater part of this.
$4,000, to be exact, is to refund
present debt in city notes in varying
denominations and at varying rates
of interest OF the balance, $1,000
is to make good deficit on bridge
construction due to the freshet of
last spring. and $4,000 is for the
new high school building.
The making of this bond issue is
good business. Its necessity is I'M
questioned The deficit for bridge
construction is a matter that could
not he foreseen. The new high school
building is necessity that could not
longer be denied, and the city is get
ting it cheaply, a large part of the
cost having been met by personal
subscriptions
But especially in the matter of re-
funding the notes. we believe the
city government is to be commended.
Many of these notes We're issued for
temporary GU loans; most Of them
have been renewed from time to
time at higher rates of interest The
average rate of interest on all the
notes is about 81 per cent The
new bonds will bear interest at 4 y
per cent. and should realize at sale
par or better.
Moreover, the bonds are in serial
form, payable $4,000 each year, be-
shining this year This will neces-
state provision each year for pay
ing off $1,000 of the bonds. Had
this been done with previous bond
issues of Ellsworth, the debt would
have been wiped out long ago, and
we would not hear, as we OCCASION
ally do now-and truthfully, too
that Hancock hall is not yet paid
for. Ellsworths new high school
building will be paid for seventeen
years from now, if not sooner.
