DISPUTE OVER
RENT OF HORSES
RESULTS IN SUIT

Charging E. S. Shields with re-
fusing to carry out an agreement
to rent horses to them at so cents
q day for each team, Joe Ender
and John Cgraggen filed suit in SUI
perior court yesterday afternoon
seeking $2150 damages because they
could not complete the task of
growing and harvesting a crop on
a ranch west of BraWley.
Ender and Cgraggen are part
ners in a farming venture, accord
ing to the complaint, and during
January entered into an agree
ment with Shields to clear brush
from an 80-acre tract near Braw-
ley. After clearing the land they
were to plant and harvest a crop,
taking three-fourths of it as pay
ment for their work, the complaint
said.
1t was a part of the agreement
that Shields was to rent teams u
Ender and Cgraggen at so cents a
day, they contended in the COM
plant. He did this during the time
they were clearing the land, but
when it was cleared, refused to
rent teams at the agreed price,
but demanded 81 a day, the COM
plant charged
This demand prevented them
from carrying out their part of the
agreement, Ender and Cgraggen
said. They asked $3.50 fol labor
in clearing the land, and $500 as
the reasonable value of the crop
they might have grown and has
vested if they had not been pre-
vented.

CHAMBER URGES
MORE ACTIVITY
IN HOG RAISING

The Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce is renewing its campaign to
increase the raising of hogs and
other live stock in Imperial Valley,
now that the markets have taken
a sharp upward trend. w. S.
Wheaton, general freight agent of
the Los Angeles Union Stock Yards,
was a visitor at the chamber re-
Gently and brought word of very
encouraging rises in live stock
prices since last week.
According to Wheaton, cattle
prices were 81 and S4.25 and had
jumped to 81 on the Is of March:
hogs had jumped from $3.50 to
$3.50 and S625 and lambs from So
and $3.50 to $6.25. This upward
tendency has been startling, stated
Wheaton and it is generally be-
lieved will result in a proportional
rise in grain and hay prices.
The reason for the higher prices
is the slump in production. During
the droughts of last year there was
very little cattle or hog production
and those farmers who had former
ly kept breeding Stock were forced
to sell. The result this year is
shortage in live stock which is fore
ing the market upward.
Early last year the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce started a
campaign to increase the raising of
hogs in Imperial Valley, pointing
out that feed prices were low and
that California could not nearly
supply the demand of the state for
pork and beef. Those who turned
to hog raising will find themselves
in splendid situation at this time,
with market prices high and feed
prices low. 1t is believed that hog
raising will prove profitable indef-
initely as there is no opportunity
for the middle west to carry on
the enormous hog raising industry
which they handled before the
drought conditions of last year and
Imperial Valley has the Los An
geles market right at its door where
all the pork raised here can be
easily disposed of.
mo place." says Charles Ander-
son, chairman of the agricultural
committee of the Ell Centro cham
ber, "can hogs be raised as cheaply
as in Imperial Valley, with reason
able feed and no need of shelters,
and it would seem that now is the
opportune time for our dairymen
to go into the hog business, feed
ing their skim milk in this manner,
when hog prices are on the up
ward trend"

BANKERS PRAISE
SPLENDID WORK
OF All CLUBS

Dedicating its March bulletin to
bankers All club cooperation, the
agricultural commission of the AM
erican Bankers association pays
special tribute to the interest shown
in boys and girls club work by
California bankers.
For many years. writes Dan H.
Otis. editor of the bulletin, "bank-
ers have interested themselves in
the promotion and support of All
club work. This interest has taken
the form of assistance in financing
the projects of pure bred young an
1mals, which club members are to
raise. Frequently this involves the
borrowing of money and gives the
club member practical illustra-
ton of the method in which loan
may be made, the money put to
useful employment, and the note
paid at maturity, with interest.
I'm this way the embryo business
man takes a personal part in
small, but convincing Illustration
OF the value of money and the ne
cessity for its useful employment.
He has to pay the loan when due,
with interest from the sale of his
products.
The total value of the livestock
and field crops of California club
members in 1881 was $219, ,495 IL,
and the cost was $153 ,336.10 not in
cluding interest on the investment,
showing a profit for the year of
$66,159.02. Not an inconsiderable
business in itself and certainly a
creditable showing, in point Of
profit, during year when many
businesses, especially farming, were
far below normal
'One of the high lights in club
work each year is the time when
the projects are completed and the
members assemble to turn in their
reports and receive their club pin,
evidence of work done. For sew
eral years fully 5000 such pins have
been distributed in this state annu-
ally by the California Bankers as
Sociation.
1T is quite a ceremony when the
county key banker, representing the
agricultural committee of the CAL
ifornia Bankers association, takes
the platform and pins these badges

Executive Editor, Des MOines
Register and Tribune

DES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. "a
(T.N.S0 The farmers holiday
movement was started with the
thought that if farm products
were withheld from market for q
period, prices would go up and
the farmers would benefit. So far
the plan hasn't worked.
Best informed observers eSti-
mate that less than 5000 Iowa
farmers are as yet taking any part
in the movement. This is scarcely
more than 2 per cent of the
farmers of the State. And the
movement is as yet confined to
the areas around Sioux City and
Omaha, and is not general
throughout Iowa.
The Iowa Farmers Union, with
an Iowa membership of about
10000, is credited with leadership
IN the holiday movement. The
Iowa Farm Bureau, with five
times as large a membership. has
refused officially to participate
in any way, as has the Iowa
Grange.
The motive force back of the
holiday movement is dissatisfac-
ton with farm prices. This was
also the underlying cause of the
"cow war" in Iowa last year which
required the State militia to en-
force testing cattle for tubercu-
loSiS. The heads of the Farmers
Union, the more radical of the
farm organizations, led that
movement and are also leading
the holiday movement.
Prices of farm commodities in
Iowa after two weeks of the holi-
day, had shown no increase and
in several instances had actually
gone lower. Corn decreased
cents a bushel, Oats IL cents,
butterfat went down 2 cents
pound, hogs were slightly lower,
and eggs remained the same.

When Water Freezes

There is no difference between the
freezing point of water that has been
heated and that which has not been
heated If the water is pure. In the
case Of tap water which is nearly pure
but contains dissolved air, heating the
water may drive out some Of the air.
This has no considerable effect on the
freezing point, but may make a differ
ence in the character, Of the ice pro-
duced. Hot-water pipes are reported
to burst from freezing more often
than cold-water pipes This is not be-
cause of a difference Of freezing point
of the water, but is probably because
the water in cold-water pipes contains
dissolved air, which separates on
freezing and forms slushy ice; while
when water in a hot-water pipe
freezes, it is more apt to become I'M
der-cooled and then freeze rather sud-
denly, forming compact ice free from
bubbles, which Is more apt to break
a pipe.

eventually may be controlled by cleo

bringing on Of a thunderstorm by
pressing a button. Win powerful

approach so they will stop the super

shut the northwest windows? For we
do not. suppose that the electrical rain
makers will so far defy established
natural laws as to bring transforms
from unheard Of directions.
The rains should be quite orderly
and never freakish. Ruskin said: "As
men do not walk on their heads, there
are natural laws that clouds do not
disobey." We have always thought
that man would, one Of these days, de-
termine when rain should fall and
when it shouldn't, and electrical control
may be the secret. But we have pro-
