! want to make an appeal TO the
Western States in behalf of hog
raising. 1t seems to me that we
have nothing more important than
to encourage the production of hogs
along proper lines, at least to a
point where the needs of the coast
markets and the interior will be
met. and we have a long ways 20
90 before that result can be at
tanned.
The coast markets are paying cut
enormous sums of money every year
to bring the bulk of our hog supply
from east of the Rockies and in the
face of the fact that we have the
feed, climate and everything favor
able to successful hog operations
west of the Rockies.
The barley situation today fairly
illustrates the need for more ex-
available plan is to feed barley to
live stock There is no feed that
gives better results and will pro-
duce more nearly the kind of pork
that we want in the coast section,
which comes from the bacon type
of hog. Denmark uses barley ex-
tensively to feed out the bacon
type of hog that has been develop
ed to meet the needs of the English
market, and Denmark exports prin-
cipally to the United Kingdom the
products of more than five million
hogs per year. 1t surely looks like
if Denmark can afford to buy oul
barley to fatten hogs for the Englisl
market, that We ought to have 4
splendid chance of profit by sup
plying pork direct to the Englisl
| market. Such plan is feasible
but we must first develop the right
type of porker
There are few instances where ii
! is profitable to ship the feed to the
live stock, and even though sucl
operations yield a profit, it still re-
mains that it is more profitable tc
| feed the barley where the grain is
grown, and ship the pork to the I'll
innate consumer.
1t is good business to have 4 for
eign outlet for our products, but
it is also good business to have q
! home market to fall back on il
ease we are confronted as we ere to
day, and doubtless will be from time
to time in the future, with an over
supply of all kinds of grain, keep.
ing in mind toe, that practically ev-
cry civilized nation raises barley
| Eleven Western States produce
about 6S,000,000 bushels each year
practically all without irrigation
The average yield is around 33E
bushels per acre. The average
price during the past five years was
about 67c per bushel, making an
average income of $22.45 per acre
This may not be fancy return but
it is good substantial earning con
sidering the character of land upor
which it is raised and the fact thai
no irrigation is necessary. As
rule such land has limited use. Not
withstanding this, is there anyon

WESTERN AIR
MAY BE- GIVEN
MAIL CONTRACT

If the Western Air Express, now
operating the Stanadrd Air Line,
gets the contract for the Southern
Air Mail they will continue to make
stops at the Imperial County Air
port, according to communication
received by Robert Hays, secretary
of the FL Centre Chamber of Com
merce. from j. 7. Whitlaw, assist
ant general passenger agent of the
Western Air Express.
Whitlaw states that arrangements
now in force are very satisfactory
ard TIE company plans to continue
using the Imperial County Airport
with no change in routing. Whit
law also mentioned the fact that
the passenger travel over his lines
is developing in this section in a
satisfactory manner. The Imperial
County Airport is the only stop of
these planes between San Diego and
Phoenix on the regular schedule but
the Yuma field is used where there
is a passenger from that city and
the representative at Phoenix or
Imperial Valley is notified to have
the passenger plane stop in Yuma.
The Waters Bill, which has Just
passed the United States senate,
provides for payment for the exist
ing air lines for the carrying of
mail and the western Air Express
maitains ships and a schedule
which will be required by the gov
eminent. 1t is therefore presumed
that the Wetsern Air Express will
have the contract for the new Sou
thern Air Mail and that the Imper-
ial County Airport will be used as
a port of call.
The FL Centre Chamber of Com
merce has written the postmaster
general and the California delegd-
ton III congress urging the need of
air mail service in Imperial Valley
and insisting that the Imperial
County Airport be made a stopping
place when the Southern Air Mail
is established.

Assert Officer
Beat Cripple

SACRAMENTO, April 80. U.P-
An investigation has been started
into reports that an aged and Grip
pied man was beaten last night in
Sonora by a prohibition agent who
was disgruntled at failing to find
evidence.
Charles Shea, cripple, proprietor
Of store at Sonora, was alleged to
have been beaten by H. n. Hobard,
the agent, after Shea demonstrated
against raid in which Hobard par
ticipated.
Shea was taken to Sonora hos
pital.
Hobard said that Shea attempted
to smash battle when the raiders
entered the store, and that in the
struggle which followed Shea's nose
was cut by shattered glass.

DAIRY PROFITS
INCREASE WITH
RIGHT METHODS

Entitled "Profits Increase With
Butterfat," the fourth annual re-
port of the Imperial County Dairy
Management study, Dec. / 1928
Nov. 80, 1929, compiled by the agri-
cultural extension service in coop
Grafton with II Imperial County
dairymen, has just been issued, the
statistics serving to prove the truth
of the title that profits increase in
proportion 10 the increase in butter
fat production.
For purposes of comparison the
seven herds having the highest farm
income per cow, are summarized
separately as are those for the
seven herds with the lowest farm
income per COW. In the higher
fam income group, the butterfat
production per COW shows a differ
cnce Of - pounds per cow over
those Of the low farm income group,
Whic.. difference, of 45 pounds at
30 cents per pound would account
for $3.50 of the higher farm in
come; $9G.2l for the first group as
compared to $54.7 per COW in the
lower farm income group.
Number Of COWS per herd in the
higher group is 33.4 and in the low
er, 38.41, bat although the higher
farm income group averages fewer
COWS to the herd, it will be seen
hat they made a greater total farm
income per herd, as well as per
COW, the herd income for the high
group being $G058.03, and for the
low $5l88.S6.
Expenses are somewhat higher for
he high group, the actual figures
bong $4.S2 more per cow for that
group than for lower group, but that
the expense is well justified is
shown in the per cent earned on the
investment which for the group is
37.6 as compared with 1876 for the
low group.
In conclusion, the net profit per
COW for the high group is 61.61,
while that for the low group is
2l.0l, clearly Indicating the profits
that increase with the increase in
buttCrfat production.

GARBO'S FILM
In FINAL
DAYS

Romance" another vehicle for
the expression Of the Great Gar
bo's art, goes into well deserved
second week at the Columbia.
The picture gives the Swedish
stars imposing following another
opportunity Of seeing her in a
role she adorns.
Another notable contribution
which the story presents is q
fine performance by Lewis Stone.
Stone has been playing a long
time and his cllaracterizations
reveal the study he makes Of
each role. While not a "sheik, I"
he pleases the ladies, and what is
more he satisfies the men at the
same time.
Miss Garbo is seen as Rita
Cavallini, an Italian opera star
Of fifty years ago. She is loved
by many but cares for none-until
she meets Tom Armstrong, a
young clergyman. Lewis Stone,
however, is a former admirer and
her best friend. Gavin Gordon,
q newcomer. takes the part Of
Tom.

Al JOlsOn Began His
Career in CabUrets

AL Jolson, star Of the Warner
Brothers Vitaphone picture, big
Boy" began to sing in cabarets
at an early age. His father wanted
him to be a rabbi, but young Jol-
son insisted on going on the
stage.
He and his brother and a mu-
tual friend formed a vaudeville
team under the name of Jolson,
Palmer and Jolson, which turned
out to be the first important step
in his career.
Jolson's first stage successes
were in the musical comedies at
the Winter Garden under the
Shuberts. Warner Brothers fl
nally influenced him to go into
pictures. His first film was '"The
Jazz Singer" which was followed
by 'The Singing Fool" Since
then he has made Say It With
Songs" and Nanny" Big Boy"
his latest picture, which is now
being shown at Warmers Metro
politan Theater, is an adaptation
from the famous stage play of
that name in which Jolson played
for three years.

Jack Buchanan serves most ac-
ceptably when the demand is for
