hay GRADING IN
NEED OF BETTER
VALLEY SUPPORT

That further support of hay grad
ing on the part Of local farmers is
necessary If the service is to be
maintained here by the state was
brought out at the recent meeting
Of the valley hay improvement as
sociation held at the farm bureau
office in the court house.
Various speakers pointed out that
the service at present is far from
self-supporting and that if more
enthusiasm is not shown before
July l. the service will. in all prCb-
ability, be discontinued.
Assemblyman S. E. Robinson de-
clared that as the hay grading sery-
ice was one OF the last &c De in
stalled in the county, it would un-
doubtedly be the first TO be cut
off in the economy program OF the
state unless the farmers evince g
desire for the service. The state
does not require that the service be
entirely self-supporting. being rill-
ing to aid local farmers II they
really want hay grading, Robinson
stated.
Value of hay grading to the IN
duStry was discussed by meny
farmers. 1t was shown thar Of two
farmers shipping TO the same con-
Germ, one having his hay graded
and the other not. the one whose
hay was graded received rs cents
per ton more on the average than
did the other. The one who re-
fused TO have his hay graded fin
ally came TO the conclusion that Il
would save him money and IS one
Of the most enthusiastic supporters
of the service today.
Advise Holding Hay
Scott B. FouldS, secretary man.
ager for the Imperial County Farm
Bureau. pointed out that in order
10 supply state contracts and in
order TO ship 10 the Atlanic sea
BOARD. hay grading is necessary as
the contracts call for Q. S. No. !.
He declared hay grading to be OF
.ssential value to the industry as
/ whole.
Market discussion followed, Foulds
advising farmers to hold hay until
fair price can be obtained. point
ng out that the local supply is
.lmoSt depleted. He added that
ater the farmers might get togeth-
r when it is time for the first
pring cutting and determine fair
rice at which to hold their hay.
Il was decided to hold a meet

Building Held Own In South
In 1881; Over 649 Million
In Construction Contracts

Construction contracts awarded in
16 southern states during 1881 were
valued at $649,312,o0O The Manu-
facturers' Record has announced.
The total does not include projects
of less than 100000, or numerous
other important projects for which
accurate figures were not available.
The peak year of 1880 had a total
of $921,715,OO0 but much of the
decrease in 1881 is attributed to a
sharp decline in the cost of building
materials and construction generally.
Roads, paving and bridges showed
the greater total, $27o,9S3,o0o. 9th
er divisions included the following:
Apartments and hotels $20,S9O,0 900;
city, county, government and state
projects 66,S46,OO0; dwellings cost
ing $4,000 and more, $26,175, 900;
school buildings, $~33,356,ooo; sew
ers, drainage and waterworks, $34,-
o14,0o0; store buildings, $9,7S6,0o0;
banks and office buildings $12,272,-
900; church buildings $3,S86,ooo; as
ISOLATION and fraternal buildings 3d.
$4,000 and miscellaneous $685.
900.
The figures cover a wide tier of
southern and southwestern states from
Maryland to Texas.
Considering the projects for which
no figures were available, and for
other projects of less than $4,000,
the total of construction awarded in
the 16 states is estimated at $780,
100000 by the publication.

HOW TO HOLD YOUR WIFE

Give. her lots of ready money,
Keep her always on the go;
Say to her: Il don't care, Honey,
How you spend my hard earned
dough-"
Work with energy unceasing,
Though it shortens your young life,
And you'll find her love increasing
That's the way to hold your wife.
Dress her in the latest fashion,
Buy her furs and silks and such;
Or her ardent love and passion
Won't amount to very much;
Take her to the show and dinner,
Thus avoid contention rife;
Then she'll know she's picked a win
That's the way to hold your wife.
When she wants to do the talking,
She's entitled to her say;
That's the time to go out walking,
Always let her have her way;
Give her unrestricted credit
At the stores-avoiding strife
And you'll find it's as I've said t
That's the way to hold your wife.
