AUGUST REPORT OF EXTENSION
SERVICE SHOWS MUCH ACTIVITY

The following is the report of the
activities Of the Agricultural Extcn-
sion Service in Imperial county for
the month of August submitted to
the Board of Supervisors by D. f.
Creighton, assistant county agent
During August 1897 cows were
tested for 81 members of the Impc-
rial County Cow Testing Associa-
tion. OF these 96 produced 40
pounds or more of butterfat for the
month. a total of Il Improbable
COWS were culled by members of the
association. Two members pur-
chased purebrcd dairy bulls.
The temperatures in a University
Type Poultry house, a lath house, and
under the shade of some adjacent
athcl trees are being studied at the
Dormar ranch at Meloland. Three
automatic recording thermographs
are recording the temperatures in
these three locations. This is being
done to determine what differences
in temperature, if any, exist under
these three types of poultry shelters
Several grapefruit growers have
turned under fine green manure

their. orchards \ date grower re-
ports obtaining an excellent summer
green manure crop of mat beans.
The soil on two ranches was cx-
amined for suitability for grape
fruit at the request of the owner.
The presence of a water tablc at

five feet under one ranch made it
appear hazardous for citrus. Most
of the soil on the other ranch, al
though quite variable, appeared
suitable for grapefruit.
Soil examinations were made in
five or six small young grapefruit
orchards in one community. \ wa
ter table was found at from three
to five feet in depth below all the
orchards The owners were urged
to cooperate in building a commun-
ity drainage ditch.
As result of past advice of the
Agricultural extension service, l. A.

Vetch Seed Distributed
Seed of calcarata vctch, the pro
missing new green manure crop, was
distributed to II grapefruit grow
ers. The Experiment Station at
Meloland furnished 200 poundss of
seed for this purpose. Each of these
II growers will plant a seed plot in
September which should furnish
enough seed for planting his entire
orchard next year,
The trees at the upper end of one
grapefruit orchard have been suf-
fering for water before the rest of
the orchard showed need for irriga-

se GUESS I'll have to ask you
Il Kitchen Clubbers to come
back and make my kitchen ugly"
laughed Mrs. Adams. whose
kitchen had been the subject for
discussion several weeks before.
you've made it so attractive
that not only my daughter but
halt a dozen other girls want to
do their entertaining there"
Mrs. Adams was one of the
thousands of mothers who find
themselves having to compete
with the movies, drug stores and
the streets for their children's in
terest. She had met the situation
fairly and frankly, realizing that
she couldn't force her children to
enjoy staying at home, even if
she made them stay there. If
home was to compete with out
side interests, it must be more at
uactive. That was that!
When Mrs. Adams was a girl
and Mr.. Adams was coming to
see her, an evening sitting on the
sofa with him was thrill enough.
But her girl soorned that kind of
evening. She had to be doing
something. And Mrs. Adams ad-
nitted to herself with a faint,
reminiscent blush, that probably
her daughters idea Of entertain
nent was the more wholesome of
the two.
Mrs. Adams got her solution
TO the problem one rainy evening
when she poked her head in the
living-room door and announced
that she would make raisin-nut
fudge if she could find someone
to seed raisins and shell nuts.
Boredom vanished. Aprons went
40. One couple made a great to-
DO over the raisins. The other
couple shelled the nuts in not
more than twice the time Mrs.
Adams would have used. The
candy was good, and the party
ended at late hour in the kitchen.
AT the next meeting Of the Club
Mrs. Adams asked for a kitchen
color scheme that would look So
phisticated and wouldn't show
dirt too much! Nancy's note
Nook shows what she got.
