Imperial Valley loses man whom it can ill af-

farm advisor, who has been transferred to Sonoma
county.
number of reasons may be given for the splen-
did advances made in the valleys dairy industry but
none would be complete without giving proper recog
milton to the work which De Tar has done here in the
past six years.
Coming to the valley six years ago. as assistant
farm advisor, he found dairying in chaotic condi
ton, generally speaking A few darymen using
modern methods in taking of their herds and i'm
proving them and the quality and quantity of their
production. Many more, however, knew little about
scientific dairying and cared less.
De Tar organized the Imperial Valley Cow Test
ing Association, and if this alone all that he
complished here his stay would be tremendously worth
while to the valley.
Starting from zero the last report of the Cow
Testing Association shows approximately 5000 cows
in the herds being tested. The production of
butterfat has greatly increased and darymen have
been taugh. the wisdom of keeping only the that
pay for their board They have also been encouraged
to purchase pure blood sires and pay attention to i'm
proving the strain of their herds.
During his stay in the valley darying has been CIV
en- the greater part of De Tars attention, though
becoming farm advisor two years ago, he Immediately
took keen interest the various departments of the
farm advisors office The All clubs decoted to the
welfare of the boys and girls in rural sections have
found him devoted to their work and willing at all
times to help them. He has given much time to farm
center work. encouraging the ranchers to study their
problems together and seek their solution He has
also taught the farm youngsters and their elders how
to play-something every bit important knowing
how to work.
Through his inspiration, many city have
learned to take greater interest in their rural broth
ers and to cooperate with them matters pertain
ing to the general welfare of the valley.
Possessed of pleasing personality, De Tar has
host of friends here in every walk of life His in
terest in his work his sincerity and his efficiency have
drawn the highest commendation from all who have
had the pleasure of knowing and working with him.
Prompted to seek a transfer to Sonoma for family
reasons he takes with him the sincere well wishes of
hundreds of valley residents who hope for him that
which he desires most equal success with his work in
the northern county.

Each year fireworks, despite the campaigns and
