FEED AND PASTURE

Feed and pasture conditions IN
Washington are considerably bet
ter than in most other western
states, according to federal and
state surveys, reports Leonard
Hegnauer, extension agronomist.
Scarcity of hay, barley and oats
in many of the western states may
serve to supply market for any
surplus raised in this state. Pas
ture conditions in western Wash
ington and under irrigation in the
central part Of the state are close
to normal.
Al serious shortage of feed and
pasture is indicated in the western
states, with little chance for im-
provement as the season advances.
The states most affected thru the
movement of stock from one state
to another within the western
group. Such relief must come from
states outside.
The poor condition Of pastures
and hay crops in most Of the
western states means an increas-
ed demand for local feed grains,
wheat and food stuffs. Due to UNI
settled Financial conditions it is
impossible at this time to estimate
and feed requirements for winter
fattening operations.
The average condition of pas
lures and ranges in the western
states up to July was TOT per-
cent of normal compared with 81.2
percent a year ago, and 1854 per-
cent for the 10 years average of
192O-1930. The condition in Wash
ington was better than last year,
but slightly under the 10 year
average.
While fall rains would somewhat
relieve the acute feed situation in
many sections, little recovery can
be expected this year particularly
in areas Of desert pasture.
Supplies Of local hay in the
western states for the 1881 -32
feeding season, according to con-
ditions reported up to July I, are

USE BALANCED RATION
IN WINTER SEASON

Every dairyman knows that his
herd normally reaches maximum
production when on good pasture
in the spring and early summer.
Good pasture is bulky, succulent,
and contains the food nutrients in
about the proper proportion for
body maintenance and milk pro-
duction. The winter, ration, how
ever, is likely to have these nu-
trients out Of proportion and thus
the cows are unable to hold up in
production as they should.
How much concentrates (grain
mixture) is question Of great
economic Importance to dairymen.
for in most cases roughages are
the cheap, and concentrates are
the costly part Of the ration. The
amount Of concentrates advisable
depends first on the quantity and
quality Of roughage fed, and Sec
ond, on the productive capacity Of
the COW.
Where = dairyman feeds good
quality alfalfa hay with or with
out succulence the grain mixture
need contain only 10 or IL percent
digestible protein. The following
mixtures Of different grains will
furnish the proper proportion Of
feed to balance with the above
roughage
100 pounds mill run or bran.
100 pounds ground oats.
1900 pounds ground barley.
100 pounds mill run or bran.
200 pounds corn and cob meal.
100 pounds ground oats.

WATER SHORTAGE
IN. NORTH TOLD
BY LOCAL MEN

Returning late last week from a
motor tour through the vacation
lands of the High Sierras, r. P
Moore of the Imperial Ice and De-
Velopment company, w. C. Costello
OF the Imperial Valley Press and
Matt Slaughter, travelling Superin-
tendent OF the Southern SierraS
Power company, told of a water
shortage in the mountains that
equals, if it does not surpass, that
OF Imperial Valley.
During their trip, which began
when they left FL Centro July 25
the three were especially impressed
with the great expense and effort
put forth by the city of Los An
geles in gaining control of a water
supply. and by the economy shown
by plants of the Southern Sierras
Power company in using the same
water through five plants.
The trip was an interesting one,
and disappointing only in the lack
of fishing due to the low level OF
Levining Creek. said Costello today
Leaving FL Centro July 25, the
three spent the night in Riverside,
leaving for the High Sierras next
morning. They spent a few days
on Bishop Greek at headquarters
OF the Southern Sierras company
Moore and Costello were conducted
through five power plants on Bishop
Creek by Slaughter 1t was here
the same water was used through
five plants, SO as to conserve the
low water supply.
The plants, capable of develop
ing 67.000 kilowatt hours, are de-
veloping only from 1000 to 1900
kiloWatt hours at the present time.
Leaving the Bishop Greek dis
trict, the motorists saw numerous
ranches. purchased by the city of
Los Angeles to gain control of the
water supply, rapidly returning to
their natural state, and covered by
weeds and other forest grow.hs.
Through the beautiful Mammoth
Lakes resort, comprising 25 lakes
in all. the party went to Levining
Greek. visiting four more plants of
the Southern Sierras company,
some located in almost inaccessible
spots.
Water was low in every place,
with the exception Of the Poole
plant near Tioga Pass. The Poole
plant is used chiefly for emergen-
cy purposes. and can develop its
capacity of 10000 kilowatt hours at
short notice.
One feature of the trip which es-
pecially impressed the valley men
was the number of wells drilled by
the city OF Los Angeles TO increase
Its water supply. and the compar-
ison drawn between the expense
and efforts to get water to Los An
geles and the comparative ease with
which water is turned into Imper-
ial Valley.
From Riverside the trip went ap-
proximately 375 miles into the
heart of the High Sierras. described

WITH the constant emphasis
portant part in the diet, it often
becomes something OF a problem
to avoid too frequent repetition.
But do you really know all the
vegetables your market offers dur
ing the year and are you making
use of all the varieties available?
Amazingly enough there are more
than SO varieties OF vegetables
generally cultivated and market
ed, While these naturally are not
always obtainable. at this season
of the year the choice is particu-
larly wide.
One of the best ways to learn
vegetables Is to 60 to market and
whenever you see something with
which you aren't familiar. ask the
market-man what ii is and how to
use 1t. He'll tell you every time.
Then take some home and cook it
or use II as suggested.
The topeppo is new vegetable
that is sure to gain popularity. It's

Two Other FavoriteS
Leeks and sweet fennel are two
more vegetables rapidly gaining
favor. Leeks belong 10 the onion
family but are more delicately fta-
vored. They are used for season.
ing in soups and salads or the
white lower portion is trimmed
and cooked and served with but
ter or white sauce.
Florence Fennel or Finnocchio
is used extensively in Italy as a
salad. but is particularly palatable
when served boiled with a cream
sauce. Its flavor is somewhat like
celery. but il has a sweet taste and
delicate odor. Try it with a fish
menu.
kohl-rabi is turnip-rooted
member OF the cabbage tribe.
However it is more delicately fla
vored than turnips and is of
finer texture. The thick outer skin
is removed before cooking. Serve
as you would turnips.
Broccoli belongs to the cauli-
flower family and enjoys a long
season. Ii should be used as soon

TASTE.TEST PROVES
SUPERIORITY OF
ROASTING METHOD
Hills Bros. Coffee, Roasted
Differently, Has Flavor No
Other Coffee Has

To drink Hills Bros. Coffee, after
you have been drinking other
brands, is certainly a revelation. 1t
has marvelously rich, satisfying
flavor that no other coffee has.
This delicious difference is due to
the way Hills Bros. Coffee is
roasted. Instead of roasting in
bulk, as others do, Hills Bros. use
a process they invented and pat
ented. It's called Controlled
Roasting.
AS the accuracy of the hour-glass
depends upon an even, continuous
flow :. little at time :. so the
delightful, unvarying flavor of
Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by
this patented process that roasts
evenly, continuously o. little at
G time. Temperature and flow of
coffee through the roasters are al
ways under control. (Hence the
name Controlled Roasting.") A
uniform roast, such as no bulk
method equals, is absolutely as
sured. A perfect, unvarying flavor
results in every pound.
This delicious coffee comes to you
in vacuum cans. Air, which makes
coffee go stale, is removed and kept
out of these cans. Ordinary, "air-
tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh.
But Hills Bros. Coffee can't go stale!
Order some today. Ask for it by
name, and look for the Arab trade
mark on the can. .

GILBERT-CLAIRE
ROMANCE ENDS
WITH DIVORCE

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5. UP)-
One of the most famous marriages
among the film celebrities of Holly
wood has ended with the divorce
of John Gilbert and Ina Claire.
Everybody hates a failure; I'm
sorry this marriage ended So de-
clared Gilbert in a short statement
after Miss Claire obtained her di-
yorce from him here on grounds
of mental cruelty.
"One thing has been established" :"
continued the man who often has
been referred TO as the screens
greatest lover, and that is the dig
nifty of the lady who was Mrs. Gil
bert through it all"
Friends of the couple attributed
their separation in part to the fact
that after the advent Of the talkies
Gilbert's fame waned somewhat
while Miss Claire went on to even
greater heights than she had be-
fore. Gilbert once was quoted also
as saying she was too intelligent
for him.
Gilbert said in his statement
that the lady who was Mrs. Gill
BERT" had been more than fair in
every way" that year after their
marriage she signed away all rights
to his property and that all finan-
cial arrangements in connection
with the divorce were settled out
of court.
A separate home was provided
for Miss Claire by Gilbert after
their first separation she said.

New York?" Judge Sproul asked.
mo, although 1 wrote him, he
never replied. When I returned to
Los Angeles he didn't meet me at
the train and I didn't hear from
him, either"
That was the trip during which
the stage star was interviewed on
her views of love and marriage, and
her own separation from her hus-
band.
She denied later a statement
during that trip crediting her with
saying she preferred to "be my
husbands mistress rather than his
housewife"
The Claire Gilbert romance de-
veloped after wide publication of
stories linking the name of Gilbert,
the perfect lover, with alluring

JOY AND SORROW
GREET VALLEYS
BOY ATHLETES

Calexico's hero came home from
the wars last night, several hours
after the people OF the border city
we're expecting him and planning
to greet him with a rousing recep-
ton.
In case folks don't know it, Joe
Andrade is the hero, and he was
returning from a six weeks cruise
in Latin American countries, fol-
lowing the completion of the ma
tional Junior Olympics in the east
in which he and Keith Burch OF
Calpatria, won signal honors.
Instead of a cheering crowd ice
landed in his home town at /
O'Clock this morning, due to his
train being delayed. The young
ster refused police offers for free
patrol or taxicab ride and walked
to his home carrying with him an
assorted lot of "plunder" accumu-
lated on his trip. Being a husky
young athlete Joe didn't mind be-
ing loaded down with cases and the
junk a widely travelled young man
is likely to accumulate.
This noon the postponed cele-
bration was held. Joe being the
guest of honor at a dinner given in
the Hotel De ANA. with the serv-
ice clubs and the chamber of COM
merce acting as hosts.
Joe exhibited the four new medals
he acquired at Atlantic City and
now has a total of 38 for his PROV
ess as an athlete He also related
his experiences on the trip and was
presented with a purse for his good
work in bringing publicity to his
home town.
a much sadder home coming
awaited Keith Burch, the diminu-
tive Calipatria lad having lost his
father Saturday, the elder Burch
having been overcome by the heat
last week Keith was met in Los
Angeles by his uncle, who in
formed him of his fathers death
The boy arrived in time to attend
the funeral Of his dad which was
held today at Brawlev. Keith came
down on the same train with Joe
Ardrade.
That is a sad blow for a 13-year-
old boy to receive returning in
triumph from a wonderful exper-
ience, and all Imperial Valley SYM
