Only then can one start planning a

PAMPHLET GIVES
PREDICTIONS ON
FARM CONDITIONS

"With gross income and produc-
tion costs relatively unchanged this
season, as compared with last, it
is evident that the agricultural sit
uation as a whole, when measured
in terms of return for capital and
labor, remains about as year ago
and somewhat below that of 1925
and 1926
This is the summary of the Ag-
ricultural Outlook for 1928, which
each year is issued by the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. Farm Advisor DeTar re-
ports that a copy of..this publication
has Just been received at his office
in the Court House at El Centre and
that anyone who is interested can
sec it by calling at that office.
This Agricultural Outlook discus
ses the 1928 outlook for 81 differ
ent Agricultural Crops which are
grown in the United States. A brief
summary of few of the crops in
which Imperial Valley is particular
ly interested follows:
The production of rice is still in
excess of demand at satisfactory
prices, and a further reduction in
acreage appears advisable.
Hogs-With supply and demand
conditions as indicated, no material
change in hog prices other than sea-
sonal fluctuations seems likely un-
til next fall and winter, when mar
ket supplies will probably be af-
fccted by curtailed production re-
sulting from the present unsatisfac-
tory price situation.
Dairy Industry Strong
The position of the dairy indus
try appears on the whole to be full
" as strong as it was a year ago.
The upward trend in demand and
rapid development of the industry
in this region seems likely to con
tinue for some time.
The low storage holdings of eggs
on January 1st and the favorable
outcome of the 1927 storage season
are factors which should result in
better egg prices during the COM
ing year.
There is a need for sharp rcvis-
ion downward in the acreage plant
ed to cantaloupcs in the carly ar
cas-, which means principally in the
Imperial Valley of California, if
last years disastrously low prices
arc to be avoided.
Prices received for watcrmclons
during the past few years indicate
