the security for loans is dependent
partly upon the availability of feed.
The El Centre Chamber of Com
merce recently prepared and sent
TO over 500 newspapers in Northern
California. Arizona, Nevada. and
Utah, an article calling attention to
the great alfalfa acreage in Imperi-
al Valley which is available for the
feeding of cattle from areas which
have suffered from extreme dry
ness. This story, according to Man
ager Hays, was widely reprinted in
papers of the southwest. serving to
call attention to the fact that I'M
perial Valley was better prepared
than ever to feed thousands of head
of cattle during the coming winter
season.
With greater alfalfa acreage
than ever before" Hays stated,
Imperial Valley is the logical place
for these drought-stricken cattle
raisers to turn in their extremity"
In addition, it is said that Imperial
Valley is able to supply hay for the
needs of those localities where de-
ficient rainfall has prevented the
growing Of hay as in normal years.
