tiOn of the city. Put your
money In the boys when they
are boys and it will do away
with penitentiaries and reform
schools. Crimes among young
boys has decreased in areas
where these clubs exist"
Mrs. John S. Bennett, founder
and director of the Children'S
Emergency Home and the retiring
president of the Women's City
Club, believes that the Boys
Clubs chief value is the fostering
Of friendship between the boys
and the police.
LAUDS MAJOR BROWN
Speaking Of the work of the
superintendent Of Metropolitan
Police, Major Ernest w. Brown,
Mrs. Bennett said:
"MajOr Brown Is far.sighted in
developing this marvellous prof.
ect. We have one Of the finest
police forces in the country and
Its influence In the community
: life is bound to be reflected in
the children.
Through this medium the
boys will learn not only to re-
Spect the law, but to make it
their best pail"
Discipline and cooperation play
an important part in developing
lives Of our future citizens, in the
opinion of Miss Mae Murray,
president of the Business and Pro
feSsional Women of the District
Of Columbia.
Calls It Excellent
Mrs. Jesse w. Nicholson, presi-
dent of the National Sentinels, an
organization which stands for law
and order, said:
at is an excellent thing to
offset crime and lawlessneSs. It
makes the child respect the law
because he feels he is q part Of
it. / feel that this work will
soon become q project Of police
development in every major
city in the United States and
am very proud that Washing
ton should be the city to point
the way"
Miss Mabel Stidder, president
Of the Zonta Club. felt that she
was voicing the views Of her club
in saying:
''It Is . splendid undertaking.
It gives the boys something to
do physically and mentally.
And such q project should have
the support Of all Washing
! tOnianS."
COST WORTH IT
The close tie the Boys Clubs
create between the law and the
juvenile compenSates for any cost
or trouble for their development,
said Miss Margaret K. Hume,
president Of the Quota Club.
Laura Waters, member of the
board Of directors Of the Women's
City Club, had this comment:
Boys must have an outlet
for their youthful energy and
Major Browns Boys Club are
the answer"
Mrs. L. B. Castell, past preSi-
dent Of the District Congress Of
Parents and Teachers, said:
"This club has proved its
value and I approve thoroughly
Of its continued development.
ANY supervised arrangement Of
q group is both educational and
beneficial. 1t gives training in
good spOrtsmanship and self
control, both of which are essen
tial to good leadership and the
making of q good citizens"

MILK INSTITUTE HAS
INTERESTING HISTORY

The Milk Institute of Imperial
Valley has an interesting history. 1t
is an organization primarily of bus
mess and professional men and civic
workers who are not owners of dairy
COWS but realize the great benefit
of the dairy industry to Imperial
Valley and who desire to assist it.
Plans are now under way for the
1886 membership drive. During the
year just closed, the Milk Institute
boosted of being the largest civic Or
ganization in Imperial county, with
814 members enrolled.
1t might be we'll to restate the OBJ
jectives of the Milk Institute:
To establish Imperial Valley as an
entire community united in support
of its dairy products;
To assist and promote the pro-
auction of high quality milk and its
products;
To extend the advantage of I'M
perial Valley as a milk producing
area:
To promote the securing, breed
ing, and raising of healthy, high pro-
ducing dairy cattle and the sale
thereof;
To collect information regarding
the food, vitamin, and health values
of Imperial Valley milk and its pro-
ducts by research, experimentation
and otherwise
To disseminate such information
TO the consuming public directly and
indirectly;
To create and develop ever widen
ing markets for Imperial Valley milk
and its products;
To assist in developing and in
creasing the per capita consumption
of all dairy products.
An institution WhicG has as its
objective the betterment of the
dairy industry here surely is worthy
of the hearty support of every per-
son in Imperial Valley.

QUALITY OF VALLEY MILK RAISED IN YEAR
TUBERCULAR
COW TESTING
IN PROGRESS

Eradication of tubercular reac-
tors Tor the dairy herds of Imperial
county still is in progress under
the direction OF DR.. j. c. Pace,
county veterinarian.
Since the crew of IL government
January, a total of $1,000 cattle
have been tested. This number
represents the retests made in
infected herds.
Only two inspectors are in the
field at present to retest the in
fected herds.
Family herds as we'll as COM
mercial herds we're tested as a
part of the plan to rid the county
of reactors and win for it the title
of an accredited, tubercular free
area.
Government bounty still is be-
ing paid for the slaughtered reac-
tors and when the meat will pass
inspection. the owner of the COW
also gets the price of the meat.
1t is hoped the retests will be
completed late this spring.

was in competition with samples
sent from many other areas. 1t
was particularly surprising and graf
flying that Imperial Valleys SAM
plies were high in both bone max
ing constituents. In this respect it
far outstripped its nearest COMPETE
tor.
One of the activities of the Milk
Institute has been to acquaint land
owners with the demand which eX-
lists for more alfalfa pasturage. The
institute has steadily urged increas-
ed paintings of alfalfa for this pur-
pose. 1t rs also continually urged
better herd sires for Imperial Valley
dairy ranches, hoping in this way
to increase butterfat production 1t
is campaigning now to make dairy
men sell no COWS less than five years
old, which means that each COW be-
fore being sold will have left al
least two heifers in the valley to re-
place her.

BLACKBURN CALLED
IN FOR CONSULTATION

Blackburn has been called IN
for consultation on this program
and was one of the foremost of
the agricultural leaders who worked
with federal authorities on the
project. He also was one of the
farm bureau leaders consulted in
regard to agriculture's demands
which were incorporated in the
AAA program.
w. F. Eldridge, director for Re-
gion No. l on the state board,
is also to speak, telling of the
state program. Riverside, San
Bernardino, Orange, San Diego and
Imperial counties comprise Region
No. l.
C. o. Hoober, president of the
county farm bureau, will preside
and has been instrumental in max
ing arrangements for the meeting,
as has Scott B Foulds, secretary.
All reservations for the luncheon
must be made with Foulds by
Saturday morning.

BARLEY DIET
DANGEROUS
FOR SWINE

A diet of barley, even with SAT-
added, will not maintain life in
pigs if the animals are placed en-
such a diet when they weigh
between 40 and 60 pounds. This S
true, according to DR.. f. H.
Hughes, associate professor of ami
NAL husbandry on the Davis cam
pus of the University of CalifGr-
mia, whether Or net the pigs have
access to sunlight
Barley, he says, contains insuffi-
cient amounts of calcium and vita
min D in the absence of sunlight,
and lacks sufficient calcium in the
presence Of sunlight for normal
development Of the skeleton in the
growing young pig.
Two types Of stiffness or ab-
normal gaits may develop from
the barley diet. One is ricketts, or
a combination of ricketts, and os-
teoporoSis caused by diets low in
calcium and an insufficient guam
tity of vitamin D Another, an
unusual stiffness and spraddling
or weaving gait, is due to a def
cheney of vitamin A in the diets
fed. Dr. Hughes has demonstrated
the vitamin A deficiency is caused
by the lack Of this factor in bar
ley.
Growing pigs are protected
against ricketts, or the vitamin A
deficiency by such diets as these:
barley, alfalfa hay, and skim milk;
barley, salt tankage, and cod liver
oil; barley, salt, tankage, calcium
carbonate, and cod liver oil.

SEEK ANOTHER PROGRAM
TO ASSIST FARMERS

Since the AAA has been Scrapped
farmers organizations are working
toward another program which will
meet their needs and will cooperate
in the new soil conservation pro-
gram. The Imperial County Farm
bureau endorsed the old AAA and
is now, in fact at its next meeting
of directors, preparing to take ad-
vantage of the opportunities offered
lin the new program.
In addition, the local farm bureau
has set itself four goals this year.
First is taxation, the group working
toward taxation program which
will be equitable and which will dis

outlined past achievements and in
Dictated the bright future in store for
the industry in Imperial Valley.
In the past year the industry has
been materially stabilized. The coun-
tvs 81 900 dairy COWS are now tuber-
culosis free, making Imperial coun-
ty one of the few counties in the
state ready to become a federal ac-
credited area. This means that the
milk and other dairy products of
Imperial Valley can be shipped and
sold in any part of California-or
the world. It also means that I'M
perial Valleys dairy COWS can be
shipped and sold anywhere.
In the year past, great strides have
been made in those dairy products
known as grade "a. One of the
dairy institutions reported an in

NEW ROAD EXPECTED
TO UNITE FARMS

The second project adopted for
this year is that of farm-to-market
roads, the farm bureau having rec
commended a system of roads for
the county which will unite farms
with markets. One of the first
roads in this plan has already been
started, that from Calipatria to
Westmorland to Thompson's cross
ing.
A third objective is the hospitali-
cation program, that Of securing
some form of medical care and hos
pitalization which will be adequate
and at a cots which the farmer and
taxpayer can meet.
Fourth and last is the endorse
ment of All club work and an act
i've program of support by the farm
bureau for this organization of flu
ture agriculturalists.

Power Plan Aids
City Financing

While other cities in the country
have been wrestling with the prob
lem of meeting their current ex-
penses, South Haven, Michigan, not
only met these expenses without any
difficulty but, even at the most
critical period of the depression was
able to add a modern, up-to-date
sewage disposal plant, costing over
100000 to its utility services all of
which was done without borrowing
a penny, issuing bond, or asking
any federal aid
This was accomplished, states an
item in a recent issue of a public
ownership magazine, from TIL
profits derived over number of
years through the operation of South
Ravens publicly owned power and
light system and water works.
This Michigan city started the OPP
Grafton Of its power development
and distribution system in 1902 I'M
proVementS were made to the eX-
listing plant from time to time until
in 1881 the power plant was rebuilt
at cost of $125,000 all of which was

Rates to consumers have been re-
duced many times since the mum
icipal operations began and not only
does this plant serve residents of
South Haven but also brings power
to over 500 rural customers who live
near the city. These rural consum-
ers are served at the same rate as
the city customers, with the eXcep-
ton that the monthly minimum bill
is somewhat higher.

Arizona Lettuce
Men Facing Loss

PHOENIX, March 81. WP)-Ari-
IONA lettuce growers today faced a
possible loss of $35OOOO to 100000 on
their spring deal today as prices
for their product continued to slump
on eastern markets.
Eastern floods, which disrupted
transportation and curtailed sales,
were blamed for quotations of from
81 to $110 a crate. Unless prices
move markedly higher within the
next few days, they will not receive
more than so per cent of their grow
ing costs, many growers believed.
The Arizona growers, in an effort
to hold prices higher, destroyed one
third their spring crop just before
the shipping season opened.

groups and departments who will
gather in Wilson school at 10 a.
m. Problems of these groups and
recommendation to the state
board will be featured at these ses-

crease of 1870 per cent in the num-
Der of grade "a" shippers sending
products through their plant. Many
believe that the valley will eventu-
ally produce all the fluid market
milk consumed in the great popu-
lation centerS of Los Angeles and
San Diego.
The report of DR.. l.. M. Hurt, Los
Angeles county livestock commits
sioner, disclosed that during the last
fiscal year, 1,750 dairy COWS were
purchased in Los Angeles county,
for requirements, of which 27,679
had to be obtained from 16 outside
states. That is, California furnished
only 4,071 of this number needed for
requirements in the Los Angeles
market, and Imperial county sup
piled only 585 cows.
SOURCE OF POTENTIAL
REVENUE INDICATED
The Los Angeles demand was SO
great that it would have required
every one of Imperial countyS dairy
cows to supply it. These figures
indicate another great source of po-
tential dairy revenue to Imperial
county.
Imperial Valley fresh cream has
permanently established place now
in coastal markets In many parts
of the county model dairy barns are
being erected under plans agreed
upon by the state and local health
authorities.
An analysis made of milk sent by

Aids Valley
Agriculture

Imperial County Farm Bureau, an
organization of dirt farmers banded
ed together to further the interests
of agriculture and affiliated with
the state and national declarations, is
actively engaged this year, under
the leadership of C. o. Hoober of
Calipatria, president for the third
successive term, on behalf of valley
farmers.
One of the primary interests of
farmers organizations is to attempt
to place agriculture on an econ
omic footing with other industries
so that farmers may in a measure
control their markets.
