HALE MILLION
ACRES WATERED
BY IRRIGATION

Imperial Valley includes approx
imately 100000 acres of cultivated
land. All that land is served by
Imperial Irrigation District. owned
and operated by the ranchers them
selves. Water is brought to the
valley from the Colorado river by
means of a remarkably well-built
and extensive canal system that
has total of over $500 miles of
mains and laterals.
Imperial Irrigation District is op-
Grated by the ranchers at cost and
its assessments are based upon a
rate of SIS per sl00 land valuation.
For the purposes of levying assess
ments the maximum valuation
placed upon ranch lands is $3.50 per
acre, which makes the maximum
annual assessment for irrigation
service $3.50 per acre. Much alfal-
ia land is assessed on a valuation
Of Sl00 per acre or less.
Irrigation District assessment in
cludeS free water to every acre of
land within the district. There is
a delivery gate charge of 25 cents
per day during those days when
water is actually delivered to the
user. The irrigation system is con-
structed so that water is brought
by the district to each 100 acre
tract. Ranchers provide their own
bitches to carry water to the fields
within the 160 acre tract. Deliv-
cry of water is maintained on a "a
hour basis every day in the year.
Orders for water paced up to 4
o'clock p m. on one day result in
delivery of that order the next

FAIR DEMANDS
HEALTHY and
CLEAN CATTLE

Good health, the importance of
which is stressed so much these
days, extends even to animals, as
far as the Imperial county fair is
concerned.
The rules of the fair committee
provide that all cattle exhibited at
the fair must be accompanied by
a certificate of health, signed by
an official of the division of ami
NAL husbandry, California depart
ment of agriculture, or by a duly
licensed veterinarian.
1t is the intention of the COM
mittee in charge of the livestock
exhibit to see that no cattle in
fected with contagious diseases OF
with tuberculosis, are allowed 10
enter the fair grounds.
The good health certificate must
not be more than as days old, un-
less the animals covered by such
a certificate originate from an ac-
credited herd or herd under fed
eral or state supervision.
Moreover, the fair officials de-
mand that all cattle be kept clean
while on exhibition. Their stalls
and pens and adjacent territory
must also be as near spotless as
they can be made.
Each exhibitor is required to
furnish his own pals for watering
the animals and swapping these
pals will not be permitted, in the
interest of the health of the cattle.
