CHAMBER URGES
HOG RAISING AS
VALLEY INDUSTRY

In an address made recently by
George H. Wilde, noted economist
much was said that is directly ap-
plicable to Imperial Valley and in
line with policies which have been
urged upon farmers by the El Gen.
tro Chamber Of Commerce in its
campaign to increase hog produc-
ton, and particularly on dairy
farms where there is an opportun-
ity for feeding skim milk, according
to Robert Hays, chamber man.
ager.
Wilde stated that much money
, is made by specialists who put their
entire resources into producing a
single crop. Neighbors undertake
to follow the leader with the re-
suit that markets are glutted, prices
lowered and farming made profit
less. Many farmers, he continued,
can charge their present condition
to the one-crop idea for the secret
of successful farming lies in diversi-
fication.
Il have in mind a Holstein farm"
stated Wilde, which is an out
standing example of successful di-
versification. Only the cream from
this 66-head herd is sold. The
milk is fed to calves and hogs on
the 800 acre farm. Barley and
corn are grown for feed and eight
sows averaging two farrows a year
make possible annual sale of about
rs hogs. Hogs thus bring a profit
on the feedStuff grown and the
young Holsteins bring a top price.
The entire operation of the farm
has shown a consistent profit des-
pite two depressions within its his
tory. DiVersification is equally sue
cessful on a small scale and to the
small operator the matter is even
more important since his whole
farming program must be worked
out to the best advantage as to
time and economy. The successful
farmer cannot follow Andrew Car
negie'S tip and put all the eggs
in one basket, if he hopes to make
any returns for time and money
invested. Diversity and the soils
will pay you big returns"
Those in the Ell Centro chamber
who have urged increased hog pro-
duction have pointed out similar
opportunities as the above in I'm
perial Valley. They maintain that

This is what the ideal denaturani
must do to alcohol:
Render it obnoxious and nause-
ating and wholly unfit for use as
a beverage"
Must not be corrosive or pois-

Of the alcohol for lawful uses.
II must be easily available and
subject to elimination from alco-

The alcohol which bootleggerS

In 1881 there were 166,o14, ,346

Desert Tragedy
Proves Untrue

As far as Sheriff George l..
Campbell was concerned. another
desert tragedy was just another
mystery yesterday afternoon. and
report that a notorist had seen
human body lying near the high
way several miles west of Yuma
was just another false alarm.
Sheriff Campbell had been TO
Yuma on business, and was return
ing through the quarantine sta
ton yesterday afternoon when the
officers there notified him Of a re-
port they had received of a body
lying almost beside the highway be-
tween the sand dunes and Yuma.
The sheriff cruised the highway
as slowly as his automobile would
permit, but could see nothing. He
stopped and searched a great part
of the desert on foot, but still could
see nothing. There was not even
so much as a footprint.
Farther down the road were two
hitch-hikers, and the sheriff went
on his way, satisfied some motor
ist saw one of them lying In tho
hade resting.

Nov l Know how I can catch
Uncle Wiggily," whispered the
Fuzzy Fox. st heard him say that
each night, in the dark, he goes
up stairs to Baby Bunty's bed and
! reac hes her the 'bankie' she tossed
out. She must have hold of it or
she can't go to sleep. Very we'll, I
will stink in and hide under Baby
Bunty's bed.
/ when Uncle Wiggily comes up
in the dark to get Buntys blanket
for her, I'll just grab that rabbit
, 1t will be good trick!"
Uncle Wiggily took Baby Bunty
the new blanket he had bought and
the little rabbit orphan liked it
very much.
ct hank you, Unkie Wig!" she
said. I'll go to sleep fine tonight. 4"
Baby Bunty took her new
blanket up to her bed. Pretty soon
Nurse Jane thought she was asleep
but Bunty cried:
"Bankie! Bankie!" just as she
had done when she was very little.
"I'll get her blanket for her."
kindly offered Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh, she'll go to sleep without
it, said Nurse Jane. But Bunty
did not. She kept calling for her
"bankie," until Mr.. Longears at
last went up in her room. The
light was burning low.
I'll get your 'bankie,' Baby
Bunty," said the rabbit gentleman.
"Oh, thank you, Unkie Wig, but
I have it myself now," said Bunty.
1T was under my bed. I just
reached down and I felt it-I felt
my nice, fuzzy, wuzzy blanket"
With that Bunty gave big pull to
get what she thought was her
blanket from the floor beneath
her bed. But there was a loud howl
and yoWl and the Fuzzie Fox
jumped out of the window.
I'm no blanketl' howled the
Fox. you got hold of my tail,
that's what you did, Baby Buntyl
Wow, how you pulled" Then Uncle
Wiggily turned up the light and
saw Bunty's blanket away over in
corner where it had fallen. The
Fox had hidden under Bunty's bed
and, in reaching for her blanket,
she had pulled his tail.
But it's good thing you did,
said Mr.. Longears. You saved
mel"
Then Baby Bunty took her new
blanket, murmured "nummie num-
mie," and went to sleep.
