Cattle values are being maintained
on stable basis so far this season.
AS this is written, we have approach
ed the period when California grass
cattle are generally plentiful, yet
because of a late season, compara-
lively few cattle have so far been
marketed from California range dis
tricts. In fact, practically all of the
so-called "grass' cattle arriving
to date on the Los Angeles market
have been animals that were ear
ried through the winter on cotton
seed cake or other supplements.
There appears to be gradual improve
ments in industrial and business con-
6itions, at least on the west coast,
and it is possible that the usual sum-
mer decline in beef cattle prices may
not materialize, particularly if eat
tlemen will make II practice of top
ping out their herds and shipping to
market only the fat cattle, as rap
idly as they are ready to go.
Along this line, the practice of
feeding out the cattle which fail
to fatten on range pasture feeds,
through the use of supplemental
feeding and finish feeding on rela-
lively cheap grains and hay in cor
rails, will help a great deal in ex-
tending the marketing season and IN
holding up values. No one wants to
see budrensome supplies of cattle
on the markets. A stable market Is
the most profitable market for the
producer, for the packer and for
the retailer. In fact, even the con-
usmer is not interested in n fluctuat.
ing market. 1t is difficult for the
average housewife to understand
sharp changes in prices from day to
day in the retail market. Intelligent
marketing nd intelligent feeding
will be great factor in improving
the financial condition of the eat
tlemen and in actually aiding beef
consumption.
Hog prices have been well main
tanned through the spring season.
When we realize that the slaughter
of hogs in federally inspected plants
over the United States for the first
three months of the year shows n
decrease of 100000 from last year
and a decrease of 100000 from two
years ago, or nearly % per cent, we
may understand in part why prices
nave held up. Slaughter of hogs IN
Los Angeles also shows slight de-
crease from year ago and a heavy
decrease from two years ago.
With good grain fed hogs selling
or the California markets at II cents
pound, there seems to be every
reason in the world why more west
ern farmers should engage in hog
breeding and feeding. Good brood
sows are relatively cheap in rcla-
tion to pork values, and feeds are
relatively low in price. This is an
unusually good time for western
farmers to make start toward
building up home supply of pork.
AS had been expected, the past
few weeks have witnessed no inn
provement in fat lamb prices and no
improvement can be expected for
some time to come, as marketings
of lambs are expected to be of rec
ord proportions this season. 1t would

First prize of $2J, in the essay
contest for Imperial Valley school
children, on the topic, "Why Father
and Mother Should Own Our Home"
was won by Kathryn l.. Hell, age
13. student at Wilson school in
this city.
Decision of the judges in favor
of her essay was reached only after
more than 100 essays from all parts
of the valley had been read and
graded. The total number of essays
was finally weeded DOWN TO dozen
and these were carefully gone over
by the judges who checked them for
originality, general merit and. neat
ness.
Kathryn's essay emerged from
this scrutiny with the votes of two
of the Judges, the third judge plae
ing her second. By previous agree
ment the Judges had decided that a
vote of two out of three would be
the determining factor in placing
the winners.
Second place was taken by Ale
theta Osburn, 16, of Brawley Union
high school, whose originality made
her a strong contender for first
place. Her highly meritorious work
will bring her $l5, the prize for
second place.
Other winners and the prizes they
won are: third, Faye La Dene Kerr,
12, MeCabe school, SO; Josephine
Brown, Wilson school, FL Centro,
So; Rosemary Daniel, ~, Wilson
school, FL Centre, So; Ccie Everett,
II, Holtville, student at Brawley
high school, So; Oliver David Faulk-
! ner, l6, Imperial Union high school,
$5.
As a whole the essays showed tho
results of much time and care spent
| in their preparation, and indicated
the high grade or work being done
in the schools of the county.
Deserving Of particular mention
was a batch of essays received
from Winterhaven school. Unfor-
tunately nearly all Of these had
used both sides Of the paper in writ
ing them, violation Of one of the
rules governing the contest. The
Judges, instead OF disquaIifying
these, set them aside until other es-
says had been read. Two of the Win
terhaven essays were listed in the
final 12, but in the process of elim-
ination were weeded out. Although
Winterhaven does not figure among
the winners, the judges wished that
the public might know Of the fine
work done by the school.

be great help, in view of the large
proportion of California lambs which
will fail to farten this season, ii
there were more interest in feeding
lambs in the western states. At the
prices which thin lambs are fetching
this year, lamb feeding for the fall
and winter markets offer real OPP
portunity for profit, in the opinion
of many in the trade. The more of
these thin lambs that can be kept
out of killer channels, the better for
the general market-and mt the same
time, lamb feeding on the smaller
farms and ranches offers an oppor-
tunity to profitably feed out this
years surplus grain and hay crops.

the gray heards who should know,
have a few thousand words to say
on the subject Of the foul plague

The CRY for action, legislation that

profession itself has had no oppor-

But the managers have a cure. IL
calls for the immediate counting
out Of a fighter who goes TO the
floor claiming foul. It would pun
ish the scant minority Of the inno-
cent who really have been hit low
with the great majority of the gull

around the idea that no good fight

to count him out. These managers

rarest thing in the boxing business.
Minor fouls. they insist, : just
