SEELEY
BY Press Staff Correspondent


SEELEY, Feb. (Which is the
most profitable dairy cow-Holstein,
Jersey or Guernsey' Jim Clintberg
| favored Guernseys, Hobart Herrick,
Jerseys and Tony Balder, Holsteins.
Vern DeTar spoke from his observa-
| ton, that whatever breed dairy
man liked best would be most prof
liable for linn. The difference be-
tween a poor and good cow of one
breed being greater than the differ
ence between breeds.
This discussion livened the Feb
ruarv meeting of the Seeley-Lan-
tana farm center at the Seeley COM
munitv hall. J. G. Rousser, presid-
ed and B. D. Irvine, secretaryman-
ager of the farm bureau gave a
talk on the new insurance features
of the Imperial County Farm bureau
service to its members.
Vern DeTar said that crushed
barley and wheat bran, two to one
by weight with alfalfa hay makes a
balanced ration Of concentrates and
roughage and should be profitable
for dairy cows giving over one
pound of butter fat per day. 1t is
doubtful if a profit could be made
by feeding grain to cow, if her
production of fat is less than a
pound per day, it was pointed out.
The center voted to devote one
hour each meeting to discussion Of
ranch problems. After the business
session there was social time
with games and songs. The ladies
of the home department served cof-
fee and cake.
The Ladies' aid of the Seeley
Union church are planning home
talent play to raise money for the
purchase of silverware and dishes
for the community hall kitchen.
A new brick chimney has been
built on the Seeley church. Stoves
have been installed upstairs and
down so that both the church audi
torium and the community hall are
comfortable at all gatherings. A
stove was also installed in the pas
tors study in the church.
Eighteen members of the Sunday
school class of Rev. John G.. Spen-
Ger spent Thursday evening, Feb
ruary 4, in a social time on the des-
ert, west of DiXieland. Games were
played and beefsteak fry was held.
This class has 81 members.

CHINESE RUGS
SCARCE

TIME chief differences between
l. Chinese rug and a Samark-
and lies in the color and design.
The dominating colors of these
rugs run to deep tones in con-
trast with the lighter tendencies
of Chinese weaves. The designs
incorporate many forms that
might be described as Persian
with a Chinese influence. Also
look at the back of the rug-it
will show the brown or yellowish
color of the wool warp. In the
Chinese rug the warp is gen.
orally white cotton.
The comparative scarcity of
good antique Chinese rugs in
America suggests that perhaps
the number may increase as time
goes on. But as yet there is no
evidence to show that the supply
of fine antique Chinese weaves
will grow larger rather than less.
So it may we'll be that those who
are today gathering authentic and
good Chinese rugs will see the
time when their prizes will be
the center Of much greater anti
quarian interest than at pres
