CALApPROVED SEED SHOWS YIELD INCREASE
Record Crop of
Milo Grown on
Northend Ranch

That the use Of Calapproved seed
will bring larger yields was proved
on the N H Fifield ranch near
Brawley this season when a record
crop of double dwarf milo was
grown ON a 75-acre plot.
The first planting OF milo, with
Calapproyed seed yielded l54 tons,
or slightly more than two tons
per acre The crop was planted in
April and harvested in August.
Fifield di5ced the stocks under
and a volunteer crop followed. The
volunteer crop was harvested on
December % and much to the sur
prise of the grower yielded 100
tons per acre.
The land was prepared by weed
cut and was disced twice. 1t was
bordered. floated and irrigated. The
land had previously been planted
in vegetables.
l.. G. Goar, superintendent of
the Meloland experiment station,
pointed out Saturday that Calap-
proved seed provides much large
yields and cuts down the amount
of weeds that will hinder the crop.
q am certain Goar said, that
valley farmers will be using Calap-
proved seed exclusively in the near
future

Macdonald Urges
Wider Use of Milk
In Imperial Valley

A concerted advertising campaign
in the valley is needed to impress
upon the people of this area the
Importance of milk, Walter Mac
Donald, county milk inspector, told
reporters Saturday
The limited use of milk in the
valley Macdonald said, "is re-
tarding the growth Of the dairy
industry and steps must be taken
to solve that problem.
Not only would the industry
profit by wider use Of milk" Mac
Donald declared, but men, women
and children of the valley will
profit in health by the use of more
milk and milk products.
Cooperation among dairies in
the valley would be the first step
in a program to sell more milk, :"
Macdonald said. AT the present
time milkmen in the valley are
fighting and as a result the industry
must suffer-
Efforts are now being made to
send more milk to schools and en-
courage its use by children. Tests
have proved that children thrive
on milk" Macdonald said, and
every child in the valley should be
given the chance to have milk each
daV."
Imperial Valley press., 1938-01-16

There were twice as many work
ers than ever before on the men,
bership drive" Wieman said, "and
as a result we should at least equal
last years gain. The county farm
bureau made the largest percentage
increase in the state last year"
TIE farm bureau president and
Scott Foulds, secretary of the or
ganization, predicted that an in
crease of 80 per cent this season
would not be a surprise and in
dicated that the chances were very
good for a total membership in
the valley of 1000.
"A membership of 1000 would
make the organization more rep
resentative of the valley than it
has ever been and will make the
group more powerful Witman
said.
President Wieman expressed his
appreciation to business men of
the county, to chambers of COM
merce, to the newspapers and to
all other organizations which CO.
operated with the bureau to make
this years drive a success.

Relation of Farm Industrial
Income Studied in PROGRAM

100000 and manufactures payrolls
at $19l SCI 900 Farm income for
1894 went up to $478 .324.OO0 and
manufactures payrolls to $238,210,-
000 Farm income was S6l6, ,227 900
for 1895 and manufactures payrolls
that year totaled S3l0,682OOO This
past year. total farm cash income
for California, including govern
ment payments, has been estimated
at $500, ,232, 900 and total income
covering employment in California
manufactures at 1896 100000.
In making plans for 1888 under
the Agricultural Conservation pro-
gram. those of US helping with the
program in this county have been
giving considerable thought TO this
relation of farm and industrial in
comes. We realize that the better
our incomes, the more clothing and

will sell. Better business for local
merchants means they'll be able

helps our incomes"

ton history, went back to the col
onial times in his speech and
traced the activities of organiza-
ton down to the present day.
The first hint of farm organlZa-
ton was shown in Virginia among
tobacco growers. The governor had
sided in with the large tobacco
growers and allowed the small
farmers to look out for themselves.
Bacon Organizes
Even in Indian trouble the gov
ernor refused to be bothered SO
under the leadership of John Ba-
con the small growers organized
TO beat off the Indians.
Bacon continued to lead the
small growers, Beyschlag explained.
until his death. Then the move
ment died out.
Years later, Beyschlag contin-
ued, the tobacco growers put into
effect the first soil conservation
plan. There was too much tobacco
for anyone to make a profit so
each grower destroyed part Of his
crop.
Through the revolutionary war
there was no time for organiza-
ton and after the war of 1912
there was little organization be-
cause farmers moved west and
provided self sustaining communi-
ties where no organization was
needed.
Railroads Bring Action
Not until 1873 when the rail-
roads began to sell land in COM
petition with the government
homestead act did the farmers
actually take action in an organ
iZation.
The railroads sold land given

"T'he relation between what we
farmers earn and what workers in
manufacturing industries earn is
certainly brought to mind in a
chart prepared by the u. S. De-
partment OF Agriculture showing
that farm cash income and indus
trial workers income rise and fall
together" stated j. l.. Dubois, chair
man Of the Imperial County Agri-
cultural Conservation committee.
Recently in looking over some
figures put out by the research de-
partment of the California State
Chamber of Commerce on wages
of workers IN manufacturing estab-
lishments in California and total
farm cash income in California, we
committeeman realized just how
important this whole matter is"
Dubois said.
"For instance. California's farm
cash income in 1929 was S726. .236 900.
That year. total payrolls for manu-
factures were $40i 1897. 600 Farm in

to them by the government by
promising buyers lower freight
rates. The Grange was then or
ganized and brought about the
formation of state railway COM
mission. The membership of the
Grange grew to one million and
a half members during the depres-
sion of 1875.
The interstate commerce act fol-
lowed That was the first big vic
tory for farm organization.
Farm parties then began to crop
up in politics, BeySchlag said, but
they were never successful. The
first farm bureau came into eXis-
tance in 1903 in the south when
the boil weevil began to ravage
the south's cotton.
Extension Service
1t was at this time that the
extension service came into eXis-
tence. A government agent started
work on ways to grow cotton in
spite of the boil weevil, and sue
ceeded.
State farm bureaus began to crop
up in 1916 and in 1919 a national
organization was formed.
Beyscniag listed the accomplish
ments of the Farm bureau since its
organization: Regulate railways,
rural free delivery, legislative agri-
cultural bloc, farm credit and a
host of legislation that is now
being considered
The future OF the farm bureau
is bright. Beyschlag said if the
organization keeps out of politics
and follows the plans it is now
working under.

The accomplishments of the All

they spent a total of $70,533, leav-

Carrot shipments are already be-
ing made as are Bell pepper, squash
spinach, cucumbers. Farmers with
these crops are getting good prices
and show promise of making good
profits.
But lack of cold weather has
allowed worms to hatch in flax

ley and busting is being started
in these fields to save croys.

Usually the worms do not hatch
until late February and by that
time the crops have escaped the
wrath of the loper worm.
