Hay Shipments
Drop During Week

Hay shipments from Imperial
Valley to Los Angeles dropped
slightly during the past week as
42O0 tons were trucked from the
county as compared to 4640 tons
the previous week, the federal
state market news service reported
Saturday
Alfalfa markets at Los Angeles
were steady TO firmer during the
period with quite an active de-
mand continuing from the local
dairy trade for the moderately
heavy receipts. Prices of most
grades ranged from unchanged to
slightly firmer, largely reflecting
an active demand and strength
ening holding tendency in the I'M
perial Valley. AS in other recent
weeks, arrivals consisted mostly of
No. 2 and lower classes of hay with
rain-damaged shipments in evil
dence.
Dairymen continued to provide
very broad outlet for hay priced
at $1150 to $3.50 per ton, delivered
showing slight rain damage or a
light grass content but possessing
good feeding qualities. A consider
able tonnage, largely of lower class
hay, was carried over at local sales
terminals during midweek but Of
ferings were absorbed more readily
toward the close of the period.
The rather limited green feed
supplies to date this season has
encouraged the purchasing of ad-
ditional tonnages of hay by dairy
men. Pasturage conditions are con-
siderably under normal for the
period of the year. Green alfalfa
is reported difficult to secure at
less than SO per ton in the field
adjacent to. dairying sections and
many producers are asking $3.50

varied sources chiefly donations but
income from sale and rent Of ami
mails is quite an item"
Mrs. Benchley explained that ami
mails. such as camels, are rented
out to moving picture studios for
films and thereby earn their keep.
Zoos are luXuries." she counter
ed in answer to a question concern
ing whether or not such a place
as Imperial Valley could or should
support one. They are Worse than
private yachts and polo pony
strings
The discussion turned to the San
Diego ZOO and the woman who has
been chief there nearly dozen
years. after serving Is months as a
bookkepper, strongly defended the
theory of Gagged animals. She ex-
planned:
"As long as an animal is healthy
he is happy. I have only one who
is periodically discontended. but he
really is psychological misfit. All
the others are content to lead the
sheltered life and if the doors OF
their cages were opened would
probably be reluctant TO leave, ~
Mrs. Benchley declared.
Suppose those cage doors were
all thrown open. what would hap
pen?" she was asked.
Mostly Curiosity
Many OF them would stray away
but those who failed to get lost l
feel sure would return. The first
urge to leave the cage would be
largely curiosity, not a desire to
escape. It is amusing to watch ami
mails returned to their own cage,
after an absence. They are so hap
py!"
Mrs. Benchley emphasized the

a zoo. better forget the zoo part
and start thinking about money, ''
Mrs. Benchley advised. She sat in
wicker chair in a room Of the
Ten Thousand clubhouse and spoke
above the murmur of voices from
the next room, where the club was
meeting. She spoke rapidly and
authoritatively.
DO you know what it costs 10
run the zoo at San Diego? Nearly
100000 a year. That is my job
Getting that money. A special tax
brings in about $4,000 a year, but
the rest we have to get" she de-

Cattle Producers TO
Market Grain-Fed
Animals in Spring

Cattle producers are expected to
market considerably more grain
fed cattle this spring and summer
than last, but numbers of heifers
and COWS marketed will be smaller,
the Bureau of Agricultural econo-
mics said Saturday.
Though the total slaughter of
cattle will be smaller than in the
spring and summer of 1888, con-
siderably more hogs will be avail
able.
According TO the bureau, the in
crease in marketing of granted
cattle, will represent a sharp sea-
Sonal increase. The better grades
of slaughter cattle will make up
more than the usual proportion
of the total spring and summer
slaughter supply.

feeling of greater security animals
show in a zoo as compared to in
their native wildS. Gradually the
constant fear of danger leaves
them, she said. and they turn into
more contented creatures whose
only job is to eat and sleep.
Skipping TO national conserva-
ton, Mrs. Benchley had sharp
words for those who drain lakes
and swamps irf an effort to create
more farm lands.
1T is so silly. We go at conserva-
ton backwards. We call closed sea-
sons to preserve wild life, then turn
blithely around and destroy a wild
life habitat and the latter action
kills off more game than the hunt
ers!' she asserted.
She failed to agree with Ding
Darling's remark that in the ma
tional program there is more con
versation than conservation" for
Mrs. Benchley found any move
toward preservation of wild life a
move in the right direction.
If nothing has been done eX-
cept to make the public aware
there is problem, that still is
enough to make the program
worthwhile. So far. however, lit
tie has been done to actually save
the wild life homes that are being
taken away"
Mrs. Benchley entered the ZOO
business more by chance than de-
sign. With no particular interest
in animals. she took a Job there
as bookkeeper and in less than two
years found herself the administra-
tive head. She has been at the
top ever since and the name Belle
Benchley is almost as well known
as " Bring En- Back Alive"
