Senator George, Democrat, of

Respond to Valley
Poultry Project

Response of the valley All club
workers and valley farmers to aid
in the poultry project, sponsored by
the All club and irrigation dis
triet. and directed by Lee Lander
man, assistant county agent, this
week assured success of the move
to reestablish the industry in I'M
perial county.
II is hoped that test projects su-
pervised by Janderman will DEM
onstrate that poultry raising can
be profitable, and that this in
duStry. now virtually abandoned,
can be revived.
Landerman has reported that he
is constructing an all-purpoSe poul-
try house which can be moved from
place to place. and that he will take
it about the valley on demonstra-
tions. The house can be cooled in
summer used as a brooder in VIM
ter.
Cooling and heating with cleo
tricity will prove to be the salvation
of poultry raising in Imperial val
ley. experts believe. With power
now available on farms. inexpensive
facilities can easily be erected.

OVER THE
BACK FENCE
By FRED AMES

Ihere Is no Ooher 1Cfm OF land-
scaping which makes a home seem
more honey, or which gives more
of the effect of permanency, than
the planting of vines. Vines have
charm all their own. If you do
not want your new home to scream
at every paSser-by, Il am q brand
new homer you may quickly scft-
en- that too new effect by plant
ing a few vines where they may
climb over pcrgClas and fences.
Upon the other hand if your home
is beginning to show the rayagcs
of time, vines will soften and OBJ
scure those ravages. Even the most
delapidatcd building takes on a
certain charm when it is covered
with vines.
OF course the most popular Of
all vines in California arc the
Bignonias, or Trumpet Vines. The
Bignonia tveediana or yellow trum-
pet vine is quite common in the
valley and does exceptionally well
here. 1t requires lots of heat and
sunshine and that is Just what
we have.
The red trumpet vine, Bignonia
cherere, while not SO common here,
will also dc very we'll. 1t is not
quite SO hardy as the tweediana,
freezing at about twenty degrees
while tWeediana will withstand a
temperature of about ten degrees.
But it is only very rarely that we
have a winter sufficiently severe
to endanger this very attractive
climber.
Bignonia violacea, or the violet
trumpet viIe is one which is seen
growing in the valley only oc-
casionally, but its beauty entities
it to greater consideration than ii
has received 1t bears the typical
trumpet shaped blossoms, but they
are of a delicate violet color II
