planting of the crop in Imperial
county this season.
L. G. Goar, superintendent of the
Meloland experiment station, will
outline details of flax culture.
Argyle McLachlan, secretary of
the Southwest FlaXseed association,
which called the meeting, reported
that last years favorable returns
from flax will result in a tremend-
Gus increase in planting this sea-
son.
The common method of growing
flax by planting with a grain drill
will be featured in the discussion

Tomato Growers
Rush Plans TO
RepIant Vines

Tomato growers in the area near
inland Saturday rushed plans to
replant crops destroyed by heavy
rains in the northend of the valley
last weekend.
Replanting will cost growers more
than SIS per acre according to
George Jones, landowner in that
district.
Plants will produce fruit about
40 days later than the original
plans, Jones said, but it is diff
cult to estimate differences in re-
turn due to the later season. Prices
may even be better for later har-
vests, Jones declared.
Tomato fields in the Calipatria
area were not hit so severely as
those further north and plants
were generally larger.

crop.
Twelve varieties will be planted
at the station. Paintings will be
made on Sept. Is, Oct. Is, Nov. Is
and December Is, Goar said.
The Sept. Is planting has al
ready sprouted but the stand may
not be outstanding because grass
hoppers did some damage.
Goar pointed out that the valley
is the only section of the state
which can plant beets so early
in the fall. Under the improved
conditions this year some beet har-
vests will be started as early as
May.
The station superintendent point
ed out that growers were not trou-
bled with any type of plant disease
last year and explained that worm
infestations did not decrease the
yield materially.

Robertson Buys Agency
Building i'm & expansion Plan

The building and lot, bought
from the estate of David Freeman
and handled by the administrator,
William H. Cutler of New York,
was purchased by Freeman in 1914.
Freeman bought it from the city
of El Centro.
Freeman bought other pieces of
land in El Centro at the time when
he came from New York for his
health. He had disposed of all
other Ell Centro property before
his death two years ago.
Freeman returned to the east
in 1914 and leased the corner Of
Sixth and State streets to George
Bowles who erected a garage.
In 1926 the Barbara Worth gar
age replaced Bowles at the corner.
Two years later the first automo-
bile agency took over the corner.
Robertson bought the Buick agen-
cy from Ray c. Roberts in 1882 and
has occupied the building since that
time.

pasture, then added SIX pounds per
day of grain to their diet. He weigh
ed the steers on June 8. The aver
age weight was 693 pounds. On
July the steers increased to 754
pounds, on the average.
August saw the weight average
jump to sol pounds and on Sept.
8 the average weight had reached
841 pounds.
In another group of steers Worth
ington selected ten of the best
animals and kept them on alfalfa
without the added grain. Their
weight gains were far below the
average of the grain fed animals.
Under normal market conditions,
Worthington pointed out, the add
ed expense of grain would net a
tremendous increase in price. Be-
sides the added profit the animals
produce much better beef because
the animals are in far better con-
dition.
Worthington intends to carry out
the grain feeding in all of his
stock.
More than 45 valley cattlemen
visited the Worthington ranch to
view the animals and check the
results of his experimental work.
