FIRST ALFALFA
CUTTING TO BE
STARTED SOON

First cutting of alfalfa this spring
will begin within 10 days or two
weeks, the harvest being delayed
approximately two weeks by the
frosts in January.
Good prices are anticipated for
the first two cuttings at least, as
supplies are exhausted and as the
only two regions harvesting early in
the season are Imperial and Yuma
valleys.
Last year hay shipments were
larger than at any time in the en-
tire history of the valley, over 15.-
600 cars, including the truck ship
ments, having gone out. This ex-
cess was due to a large carryover
and the fact that growers on the
average were able to get in an ex-
ira cutting due to the excellent
growing weather which prevailed.
In addition butterflies during the
summer did almost no damage.
Hay in Los Angeles is selling at
record high prices, and barley and
oat hay are quoted at from $20-21
per ton for the former and 1924
for the latter when in ordinary
times $l2 was considered a good
price for this type of hay.

LETTUCE DEAL
ONE OF MOST
SUCCESSFUL u |

AS one of the most successful
lettuce deals that Imperial Valley
has experienced in years draws to
close, Arizona's is beginning again.
According to Fridays market
news report, Imperial Valley ship
ped Sc cars, the total for Phoenix
and Yuma being 83 l3 going out
from the former district and 10
from the latter. The New York
market quotations We're almost one
dollar higher per crate for valley
lettuce.
Comparative figures show that a
year ago on the same date the val
ley had shipped 20 cars as compar-
ed to 56 this year but the total
shipments for 1886 on that date
were 7,755 as compared to 1899,
this season being about 500 cars
short of last seasons at the present
time.
The market for the week has
ranged from high of 81 fob. cash
track sales for SIS, to S325-3.7
while last year at the same time
the market was S1-1.10. Inspected
cars were SO per cent fives.
Light shipments will probably
continue for the next 10 days, and
already truck shipments to coast
markets have begun in volume the
season probably ending in truck
shipments alone.
Length of this years deal is de-
pendent upon weather conditions.
While the days have been fairly
warm for the last week nights have
been sufficiently cool to prevent
much damage. Heavy warm rains
and warm nights. should they oc-
cur, may hasten the end of the
deal.
Regardless Of its continuance, the
lettuce deal has been the best in
many years. The season got off
to "a poor start but from January
on a steady high market has been
maintained.

FARM STATION
in BEST SHAPE
IN ITS HISTORY

That the Meloland experiment
station is in the best shape that it
has ever been in all its history and
that this condition is due to the
return OF L. G. Goar as superin-
tendent. is the opinion of the Melo-
land committee as voiced by Scott
B. FouldS, committee member and
farm bureau secretary.
This committee is composed of
agricultural leaders in the county
and has as its aim the promotion
OF the station, the committee keep
ing in touch with all developments
there. Harold Hunt OF El Centre
is chairman
When the committee made a visit
of inspection at the STATEN this
past week they found a number
of experiments in progress some of
which were Of particular interest.
Among these experiments are the
following: that of mixed pasture,
vetch and oats, which is making a
good growth on land which was
not prolific in alfalfa.
Fax has been the great achieve
ment at the station, the work hav-
ing been started by Goar when
first in charge and completed under
the superintendency of w. w.
Weeth. Flax production in Cali
fornia was started at that station
and at present trials of GhiZa flax
are underway. This particular
variety came through the severe
frosts without the slightest damage.
The flax fields are in bloom at
the present time and growers have
been urged to visit the station to
inspect them and also TO observe
fer themselves the merits of some
and the faults of other cropping
practices with flax. Flax may be
seen here growing under some 20
combinations of crop rotation, one
or mere of which might suggest
a solution to individual farm prob
lens.
Another important experiment un-
der way is that of new wheat
variety which promises to be even
better than white federation which
was also an achievement OF the To-
cal station.

Fea shipments have been goine

sly weeks late. Last year at the

Los Angeles market is good and
growers anticipate a good eastern
market at least for the beginning
of the season.
The asparagus season is month

1t would be difficult to conceive
better summer pasture crop for
Imperial Valley conditions than
Sudan grass. 1t is we'll adapted here
and is becoming more popular each
year. 1t may be seeded any time
now. and will be ready for pas
turing in six or seven weeks after
seeding. BY subdividing the field
and using alternate grazing and
resting periods, it may be pastured
until late fall. When grown on good
soil and under good care. one acre
of Sudan grass will support three
COWS for six months or more. The
growth of the grass should at no
time be allowed to become stunted
through lack Of moisture.

This is the right time for home
gardeners to plant okra. Plant in
rows three feet apart and space
the plants two feet apart in the
row. Clean cultivation, and moder-
ate irrigation should be given. The
plants will produce all summer if
the pods are kept closely picked.
The young edible pods should be
picked about every second day, as
they grow very rapidly and soon
become tough and valueless as a
table vegetable.
