DIARIES OF VALLEY TO JOIN
IN ONE LARGE FAIR EXHIBIT

these displays and special prizes will
be awarded for home made butter
and cheeses. Walter Macdonald,
Imperial Valley dairy and milk in
Spector from the state department
of agriculture, is superintendent of
this division, and will be one of
the judges in this contest. Other
judges will be Dr. R. B. Gingerich,
supervising market milk specialist
Of the state department, and Don
M. Downing, local dairy inspector.
The extension service is planning
as its special exhibit a COW test
ing display, showing the value of
COW testing to farmers and the i'm
provement, both financial and in
the heard standard, resulting from
COW testing program. George L.
Winwright, assistant farm adviser
and dairy expert, is aiding in this
work.
Many interesting exhibits show
ing the value of butter fat from
the dietetic standpoint will be on dis
play, making graphic the need of
butter in the diet.
Macdonald is. planning a dis
play showing every step in the an
alysis of milk so that dairymen as
well as the public may see how
milk is inspected and graded.
Points to be considered are bacter-
ia, flavor and odor, visible dirt, fat,
solids not fat, acidity, bottle and
cap.
The state department of agricul-
ture, the University of California,
the farm bureau, the individual
creameries, and local dairymen are
all contributing to make this dis
play an educational one, showing
the vast evtent of the dairy indus
try and the value of dairy pro-
ducts to Imperial Valley from a
financial standpoint, as we'll as
the value of these same products
to the individual from a health
standpoint.
Frank Beyschlag farm advisor,
Walter Macdonald, milk and dairy
inspector, Earl V. C. Northrup of
the local farm bureau, J. Dutters
of the California Dairy Council
DR.. Gingerich, and Scott B. Foulds,
secretary manager of the farm bu-
reau are among those playing a
prominent part in making this ex-
hibit q success.

COW TESTING IN
VALLEY PROVES
GREAT SUCCESS

One of the most important in
fluences in building up the STAN
dard Of dairy herds in the valley
is the cow testing program spon-
sored by the extension service and
the farm bureau.
The COW testing program was in
troduced in Imperial county almost
10 years ago and was begun by
Vern DeTar, formerly farm advisor
for this county. It's purpose is the
keeping of production records of
each individual COW so that the un-
profitable animals may be weeded
out and the daughters of heavy
producing COWS may be selected for
future inclusion in the herd.
The COW testers are employed for
the valley and once each month
they visit the various dairymen in
the COW testing association, weigh
ing the milk produced from each
COW and taking a sample to deter
mine the amount of butter fat pro-
duced.
AT the end of the year results
are tabulated and dairymen are en-
abled to see just which COWS are
profitable to them and those which
are not.
In addition to this program of
production records, advice in regard
to propert feed for high production
is given, dairymen being advised
to select their feed according to
the productivity of the COW, thus
securing the most economical re-
suits.
Value of COW testing program
will be one of the features of the
dairy exhibit at the county fair,
and also on Dairy day, which this
year is to be March 2, in Ell Centro.
the results will be made graphic.
The local cowtesting association
has approximately 30 dairymen as
members and is affiliated with the
state association. Working with
the association are George l.. Win
wright, assistant farm advisor, and
the dairy department of the local
farm bureau.

FAIR BOARD HAS
LAB0RED HARD TO
ACHIEVE SUCCESS

The third county fair to be given
under the direct auspices of Imper-
ial county, finds many of the men
who were connected with the ORR
ginai fair in 1880, still in the saddle
and working hard for the most spc-
cessful fair of all this year.
Ben Hulse of Imperial, former
chairman of the board of super
visors, again heads the fair board.
Hulse was one of the original spon-
sors of the fair and gave it his
fullest support while a member OF
the supervisors board.
In the presidents office is
Charles E. Pitzer, another original
who has given much of his time
and labor both to actual construc-
ton of the fair grounds and in
promoting the exhibits Of horses
and mules each year.
A. H. Keller, of the Bank OF
America, is the treasurr. A resi-
dent of the valley for many years,
he has always been active in COM
munity matters and fits well into
the personnel of the fair manage
ment.
D. v. Stewart, the secretary OF
the fair board, has labored long
and hard to make the 1882 eXhlbl-
ton banner one. This is his first
year as secretary and the work he
has accomplished has brought forth
commentator from those associat-
ed with him.
The board of directors includes j.
c. Archias, Brawley; T. E. Ander-
son, Calexico; A. G. Sperry, Cali
patria; j. r. Snyder, Holtville; w.
S. Dunn, Imperial; S. P. Rowe,
Westmorland; in addition to the
president and president.
In going ahead with the plans
for the fair this year, officers and
directors were encouraged by prom
Use of support from the entire val
ley. Although last years fair met
with considerable hardship in the
form of unfavorable weather, and
business conditions have not been
all that could be desired, the Off
GERS feel that the fair is a valley
institution that cannot be stopped
for minor adversities. .-..

DAIRY INDUSTRY
OF VALLEY HAS
HIGH RANKING
Production Of H e a lth
Products Among Chief
Activities Here.

Imperial Valleys dairying indus
try, though not as large in money
or production volume as are canta-
loupes and lettuce, easily ranks as
major industry and represents
a huge investment.
Dairy farmers, despite the fact
that prices are much lower than
they have been, appear to have
weathered the reconstruction per-
iod better than those producing
field crops or vegetables.
Increased sale and use CT dairy
products is the aim of the dairy
industry, in which it has the full
support and cooperation of all
who wish to see Imperial Valley
prosper.
Under the leadership of the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce, a
campaign to stimulate and increase
the use of dairy products has been
conducted for many months and
has been productive of excellent
results.
This campaign has included lee
lures on the health benefits of
milk and other dairy products,
radio talks, articles in newspapers
and other periodicals and printed
literature for valley-wide distribu-
ton. Doctors, dentists ond nurses
have co-operated in this connec-
ton. Discouraging the use of but
ter substitutes has also been a part
of the campaign.
That there is an excellent field
for. expansion of the valleys in
dustry is evident from the fact
that California produces only two
thirds of the butter consumed IN
this state.
Imperial Valleys normal produc-
ton of butter is 100000 pounds.
If four times this amount were
produced and shipped to the coast,
where the center of population is,
California would still have to go
outside the state to buy some OF
its butter.
It is to be regretted that despite
the Importance of Imperial Valleys
dairy industry, there are some val
ley residents who persist in the use
of butter substitutes. These people
are possibly saving few cents on
a pound of the purchased product,
but they are injuring themselves
doubly. because there is no COM
parison between the health giving
properties of butter and the butter
substitute, and also because they
are weakening a valley industry.
It is estimated there are approx
imately $4,000 dairy COWS in I'M
perial Valley, representing a value
close to $3,O00,000, at the present
time. Efforts are being made by

Dairying, one of Imperial VAL
ley'S main industries and one pc
culiarly adapted to the climate and
to the fertile fields of alfalfa and
grain where quantities of feed can
be grown, is to be one of the lead
ing exhibits at the fair and will
give pictorial representation of
this most vital industry.
Under the auspices of the Imper-
ial County Farm Bureau and the
the extension service of the Uni
versity of California, a mammoth
dairy display will be arranged. All
local creameries will cooperate in
this display instead of entering
competitive exhibits, and dairying
in its many aspects will be made
vivid. From the University of Cal
ifornia are coming attractive dis
play decorations which will make
an interesting and pleasing setting
for the big exhibit.
The finished products, as milk,
butter, cheeses, powdered milk will
be entered by the various cream
cries and dairies, and the housewife
will also have a chance to display
her skill. Special refrigerated dis
play cases have been secured for

WORK OF FARM
ADVISORS GETS
HIGH APPROVAL

Herewith is copy of a final and
official text of a resolution passed
by the California Farm Bureau
federation in annual meeting at
Merced. November 10, 1881:
RESOLUTION NO. 80
MAINTENANCE OF EXTENSION
SERVICE
Resolved, That in this time of
financial stress the farmers and
farm organizations of California
need every assistance from the
educational forces of the state, to
which end the agricultural extern
sion service of the University of
California and United States de
partment of agriculture should be
maintained at its present high
level of work and of personnel
We desire to register our enthus-
!astic commentator of the work
that the agricultural extension
service is doing and to endorse the
devoted and untiring efforts OF its
staff. We would view with alarm
any effort looking toward a re-
duction in numbers of its staff,
and particularly any action which
would adversely affect efficiency
or morale of personnel. At this
time the farmers of the state need
the services of the best talent
available.

Pioneers To Hold
Forth At Fair

Pioneers of Imperial Valley are
expected to be out in full force for
the opening day of the fair, which
has been designated as Pioneers
Day.
Governor James Rolph, jr., of
California and Governor Agustin
Olachea of the Northern District of
Lower California will be the honor
guests OF the day and the pioneers
will be offered the opportunity of
meeting them.
Th pioneers, composed of those
who lived in the valley prior to
1910, will be headed by w. A. Ed
gar, president of the Imperial VAL
ley Pioneers.
The president has asked every
member of the organization to at
tend the fair on the designated day
which is Tuesday, February 9. He
stated it is hardly necessary to add
that all are expected to wear the
little pin which has been adopted
by the organization as the official
emblem and which designates them
as pioneers.

MINERALS HAVE
IMPORTANT PART
in HOG FEEDING

Colorado farmers who feed min
erals in the hog ration save almost
two more pigs per litter than those
who feed no minerals, it was found
in a survey of feeding practices by
the Colorado Agricultural College
which states that although miner
ais are only needed in small guam
titles, they are fully as necessary
as other feeds. The bones are COM
posed largely of minerals. These
same minerals help control and
regulate the vital processes of the
body.
Lack of calcium in the blood may
bring on extreme nervousness and
even posterior paralysis. Milk few
er in cows; thumps in young fat
pigs; ricketts, in hogs and even in
children; brittle bones; defective
teeth and other ailments are asso-
ciated with improper balance of
various minerals in the diet.
Minerals most needed by hogs are
calcium, phosphorus, sodium and
chlorine. The last two comprise
common salt. Calcium may be OBJ
tanned from oyster shell, calcite,
ground limestone, bone black or
bone meal.
Phosphorus may be obtained
from steamed bone meal or bone
black. A very good, cheap mineral
mixture is composed of 40 pounds
of finely ground limestone, 40
pounds steamed bone meal and 20
pounds of salt These should be
mixed and fed in a self-feeder.

BR0ADClAlSTS FOR
FARMERS COVER
ENTIRE STATE

California agriculture from the
Oregon line to the Mexican border,
and from the Pacific ocean to the
Nevada boundary line, can now
tune in on the farm radio broad
casts emanating from the College
of Agriculture, University of Cali
fornia, and its various divisions.
What is declared to be widest
agricultural college radio coverage
to be found in any section of the
United States, is now in operation
in California, according to B. H.
Crochcron, director of agricultural
extension service for the Universi-
ty of California.
Four radio stations, KREG, San
ia Ana; KXO, Ell Centro; KFBK,
Sacramento, and XII, Los Angeles,
are now being used by county ad-
visors of the university's agricul-
tural extension service to supple
ment participation by the College
o Agriculture in the National
Broadcasting Company's Western
Farm and Home hour, which is
heard over station KGO, San Fran
cisco; KFI, Los Angeles, and KFSD,
San Diego.
Over the Western Farm and Home
period, the broadcasts originating in
the College of Agriculture, Universi-
ty of California, come Tuesdays
and Thursday, from 1915 to 1890
p. m. Over the Santa Ana, Ell
Centro, Sacramento, and Los An
geles stations, the programs, under
the direction of county farm ad-
visors, are broadcast from - to
1915 p. m, five days week, Mon
days to Friday inclusive.
Programs broadcast over the
Santa Ana, Ell Centre, Sacramento,
and Los Angeles stations are found
ed on material furnished by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, and the College of Agri-
culture, University of California,
shaped to meet practical farm
conditions of the localities served
by those stations. In charge of
these local broadcasts are County
Farm Advisors H. E. Wahlberg,
Santa Ana; F. C. Beyschlag, Ell
Centro; E. L. Stanley, Sacramento,
and M. B. Rounds, Los Angeles.
"Other radio stations" said Pro.
fessor Crocheron, may be added to
the present coverage in the near
future. Under the present arrange
ment, California farmrs can obtain
both statewide and local informa-
ton on farm problems and prac-
tices by tuning in on their local
broadcasts at 1900 noon and then
switching to the Western Farm
and Home hour"

COWS PRODUCE
MORE IF WATER
MADE AVAILABLE

Dairymen who want the most
milk and butterfat from their cows
should arrange to let them drink
as much water as they want when
they want it, says T. E. Woodward
of the United States department of
agriculture.
Woodward, who is senior dairy
husbandman in the bureau dairy
industry, has completed experiments
to determine the relation of meth
ods of watering dairy COWS to their
their water consumption and pro-
duction. The tests were run both
in warm and cold weather and in
cluded both high-producing and
producing COWS. The results
of watering twice day and once
a day were compared with results
obtained when the cows had free
access to water.
In these tests, according to
Woodward, the COWS drank more
water when watered only twice
day than when they had water at
will or when Watered only once a
day, but their production was high
est when they had water at will.
The production of cows in this eX-
pertinent averaged 2.8 per cent
more milk and 81 per cent more
butterfat when given free access to
water than when watered only
twice a day; and when watered
twice a day they produced per
cent more milk and IA per cent
more butterfat than when watered
only once day.
Woodward also reports that the
increase in mix production as re-
suit of more frequent watering was
more marked in the case of the good
producers than in the case of the
low producers.

FINE HERDS OF
DAIRY CATTLE
WILL Be SHOWN

Being one of the greatest dairy
ing sections in the United States,
it is only natural that a fine dis
play of dairy herds should be eX-
pected at the Imperial County
Mid-Winter Fair, and this is the
object of Joe Enz, pioneer valley
dairyman, who has charge of the
dairy cattle exhibit.
In former years the dairy dis
play has drawn many visitors
from other sections of California
who have been lavish in their dis
play of the fine herds shown here
Holsteins, Guernseys and Jerseys
form the bulk of the exhibit and
competition promises to be keen
for honors to be awarded.
Grand champion COWS and bulls
will be chosen in each division, to-
gether with senior and junior
champion COWS and bulls, all of
whom will be awarded ribbons.
Cash prizes will be awarded in
numerous classes for bulls, COWS,
dairy herds, graded age herds,
get of sire, produce Of dam and in
dividual prizes in the various
classes of COWS and bulls.
Judging will begin promptly at
10 o'clock on the first day of the
fair so that winners should be dis
porting their prizes shortly there
after.

AGRICULTURE HAS
ENORMOUS TOTAL
In INVESTMENTS
Millions OF Dollars Rep
resented In Valley
Crops And Herds.

No single industry contributes as
much to the wealth Of the county
as does agriculture, primary indus
try of Imperial Valley. During the
year 1929-30, agriculture, including
livestock, brought over 81 million
dollars and while figures for $780,
81 are not complete, indications are
that it will be but slightly less, the
decrease being coincident with
general decline in farm products.
Truly, Imperial Valley is the hot
house of the world No longer are
fruits and vegetables out of season
for Imperial Valley in the winter
months can contribute those prod
uctS formerly available only in the
spring and summer Local prod
uctS supply the tables of the ma
ton and are known in every state
in the country.
CantaioupeS, watermelons, grapes.
citrus of unexcelled flavor, pears,
Strawberries in mid-winter, are only
a few of the fruits, while lettuce.
asparagus at Thanksgiving time,
carrots, spinach, cucumbers, toma-
toes and peas in the height of the
winter season when other regions
are snowbound, go out from Impe-
rial Valley to vary the menus of
hundreds of families in this coun-
try.
BY reason of its vital import and
the wealth it brings to the valley,
agriculture will occupy a dominant
space at the county fair. B. A.
Harrigan, agricultural commission
er, will be in charge of the display
and is arranging an unusual ex-
hibit which will tell the story of
the many farm products grown in
Imperial Valleys fertile soil and
under its mild climate, unequalled
in any other section.
Fresh fruits and vegetables dis
played will be those available at
this time, chief among the fruits
being the citrus display which will
be even larger than ever before.
Imperial Valleys golden grape
fruit, known the world over for
its delicate flavor, will occupy the

Seed Important
To All Growers

No crop can be better than the
seed which produces it and for
that reason study of this phase
of ranching is emphasized In Inn
perial Valley.
One whole exhibit at the an
nual fair will be devoted 10 seed,
hay and grain. A. G. Inwood Will
be in charge this year and IL
working on plans for q most at
tractive and instructive display.
All types of grain and hay. to-
gether with the seed OF each, Will
be arranged in an effective
manner.
The prize list Is imposing and
offers an opportunity for growers
to engage in keen competition.

Sheep Exhibit To
Draw Competition

While sheep are not considered
among the leading industries of
Imperial Valley, the sheep exhibit
at the county fair has always been
notable one, and Tom Gebbie,
who is in charge of this section of
the fair for this year, says the dis
play will be better than in former
years.
Six prizes in cash and ribbons
will be awarded winners and run
ners-up among the rams, and ewes,
with ribbons being awarded the
champion ram and eve.
Cash prizes and ribbons will be
awarded also for flocks.
