ROND PLAN ECONOMICAL

Why doesn't the city condemn the Eighth street
ditch and make the Imperial Irrigation District as
sumo the burden of its removal?
ms is question one taxpayer asked when discus

Friday ~
The answer is that it doesn't pay to bite off ones
nose to spite ores face The Eighth street ditch
ery called the Date canal supplies the city of Ell Cen
tro with water To condemn that portion of the canal
running through the city would Justify the district in
SAYING, all right, condemn the ditch and will a.
bandon it. delivering water for city use at the head
ing several miles south of the city"
Fl Centre would then be forced to build its own
canal from the heading to the water plant on Eighth
street Anyone who takes time to compare the cost
OF building such ditch with paying portion of the
expense for removing the ditch, provided for by
the bond issue Will easily why the latter is more
economical for the taxpayer.
every angle Of the matter was gone into thorough

the result that the plan adopted is believed to be the
most practical, economical and efficient
Considerable time has been spent on the prelimin-
airy work ard 1t Is now up to the voters give their
approval so that actual work be started with as

DAIRYMEN URGED
TO STOCK UP ON
PLENTY OF HAY

No Imperial county dairyman
should attempt to get along with less
than two tons of alfalfa hay per
year for each COW in his dairy herd.
! The results or the 1airv cost ac
counts kept under the supervision of
the Agricultural Extension Service
during 1926, by fourteen Imperial
county dairymen show this to be a
fact.
These dairy accounts show that
the average amount of hay fed by
these fourteen dairymen was 1913
lbs. per cow for the year. The ave
rage amount fed by the three dairy.
men who made the largest net pro-
fit per COW, was, however, 401s lbs.
per cow and their average net profit
was $49.36 per COW. On the other
hand, the average amount of hay
few by the three dairymen who
made the greatest net loss per COW
was 1888 lbs. per cow and their
average net loss was $13.49 per
cow. Apparently the dairyman who
feeds plenty of alfalfa hay is the
man who makes the money, and the
dairyman who feeds very little alfal-
ia hay is the man who makes less
than wages.
We are now in the middle of the
1927 hay making season. Alfalfa is
growing rapidly and it is possible
to make a large amount of hay. The
weather, however, is hot and man
dairvmen will be tempted to sell
their sur,lus pasture, or to increase
the size of their Iairy aerd so as
to pasture off the alfalfa, and thus
save the hard labor which is neces-
sarv if hay is to be made.
The Agricultural Extension Ser
vice has carried on dairy improve
meut work in this county since 1915.
The object of this work has been
to increase the production of the
average Imperial county COW, ana
in this way to increase the net pro-
fit to the dairymen operating in this
county. They have found that one
of the most important factors in Sc
curing high production and large
net profits is plentiful supply of
feed, and alfalfa hay has been shown
to be one of the best dairy feeds.
Each Imperial county dairyman is
therefore urged to supply himself
with at least two tons of alfalfa
hay for each cow now in his herd,
and to feed this hay, in order thai
he may make a satisfactory net pro.
fit during the coming year.
