Last week the Mix Producers
completed negotiations with Robert
Fillmore to assume handling of
market milk distribution for the
association,
Lou Leroy declared both negoti-
ations were economy moves neceS-
sary for the salvation of his COM

Leroy said. the association will be
able to recover financially and
reestablish the organization at the
high level attained by the company
a few years ago.
Walter Macdonald. perial
county milk inspector, favored the
plan for dairymen TO form their
own cooperative organization to
insure a future outlet for valley
dairy products.
Low feeding costs, low housing
expense and high production rec
ords are available in the valley
Macdonald said, and as a result
iairying should become the valleys

Creation Of a Los Angeles market
by organization is the only appar-
ent method of attaining that end,
Macdonald declared.

By FRED AMES

A good street tree for the I'M
perial Valley should possess the
following characteristics:
/. 1t should be an evergreen
tree. MANY people think of the
term evergreen" as applying only
to pines, cedars, or other conifers.
This is a mistake. Any tree which
retains it's foliage throughout the
year is an evergreen In a climate
where it is possible TO grow a wide
variety of trees which are green
all the year, we cannot afford to
have our streets lined with trees
which, to all appearances, are dead
for six months of the year.
2. 1t must be able to stand the
heat.
3. 1t must not be easily broken
by the wind
d. It should be a tree of medium
size when grown. Very large trees
in street parkings destroy sidewalks
and curbs.
5. 1t must stand considerable
pruning without injury. Street trees
must be kept trimmed up out OF
the way of traffic.
The predominant street tree in
Ell Centro at the present time is
the Palo Verde ParkinSonia) the
degree of esteem in which this
tree is held by the citizens of the
city, ranges all the way from devo-
tiOn to adherence There are those
who feel that the Palo Verde is
the best possible tree for thi,
locality. There are those who fee
that as a tree it is better thar
nothing; and there are those who
feel that as a tree it is worse thar
nothing. Probably it is true value
lies somewhere between the TIVE
extremes. The advantages of tn
Palo Verde are that it makes ;
very rapid growth; it is unique t.

FARM SECTION
Farm Methods to
Conserve Nitrogen
Vary, Report Shows

imperial Valley farmers can
choose between widely varying
methods of conserving nitrogen,
according 10 the local office of the
AGRICULTURAL extension service. Here
the land may either be left idle
and without weed growth for a Ions
perior or leguminouS green manure
crops may be grown with irrigation
and turned under Each of these
methods is a copy of methods used
in widely distant areas elsewhere.
To help the soil accumulate
enough nitrogen to feed a crop
of wheat many farmers in the
Pacific northwest follow a cropping
system that IS almost exactly the
opposite Of the best method in
the southwest. In the dry-farmng
area OF eastern Washington and
Oregon. and in Idaho and Montana
it is sood farming to leave a field
fallOw for a year and to keep down
weeds by cultivation
This system was adopted origin
ally 10 accumulate most OF the rain
fall from years 70 supply the crop
OF | year But scientists OF the
department Of agriculture and state
experiment stations have found
that the method also favorS ac-
emulation of nitrogen III the readi-
ly usable nitrate form. This greater
supply Of nirateS improves the
yield and quality of the grain as

Success of the valley lettuce

Shipments from the valley to-
tailed more than 1900 cars Saturday
according to statistics released by
the Southern Pacific railway.
Spring pea shipments reached
"a cars as compared to 1876 last
season and carrot shipments total
ed 294 cars as compared to 627
cars on this date last season.
Comparatively cold weather thi'

Residential
Building Shows
Sharp Increase

New residential building in Cali
fornia rose sharply in January to
its highest level since last october,
showing a better than seasonal in
crease over December. and a gam
of nearly 60 per cent over January,
1898 according to permit figures
received from eleven principal
cities bv the Analysis and Research
Department of the Bank of Amerl-
ca.
The dollar value of the January
permits of these cities was S1.l15,-
coo. a new ten-year high for that
month When compared with Jan
uary. 1888, this years permits
showed an increase of about 60 per
cent. however. residential building
during the early part OF 1888 was
curtailed until after February 5,
when the new amendments liberal
izing the F.. H. A. act became Ell
tcctive The increase over January,
1887 amounted to % per cent and
the gain over January, 1886, was
f23 per cent
The large gain made in the resi-
dental building industry during
recent months is forcibly brought
cut by the fact that the value OF
January. 1899, permits in the
eleven principal California cities
was Just a few thousand dollars
short of equaling the combined
value of all January permits during
the five year period 1882 to 1886
inclusive.
In each of the eleven cities, per
mits for January this year were
higher than during the correspond
ing month a year earlier, indicating
that improvement in residential
building is widespread throughout
the state. The largest gains were
in Los Angeles. SO per cent: Pasa-

seen elsewhere; and in the spring
time when in blossom it Is really a
thing of beauty. The disadvantages
are: that it is a declduous tree.
1t sheds its leaves early in the
fall, and while the green bark and
needle-like leaf stems prevent It
from looking as barren as many
deciduouS trees do while they are
dormant, still it is not an especially
attractive tree through the winter
months The young trees require
great deal of care. They are often
broken by the wind, and they must
be frequently pruned to keep them
in shape and out of the way of
traffic. The Palo Verde is especially
subject to injury by locusts and by
other chewing insects. There will
always be a good many Palo Yer
DIES on the streets of our Imperial
Valley towns, and there should
be, but it should not be planted
to the exclusion of all other trees
The bottle tree (Sterculia diver
sifolia) is a good street tree. Be
cause of its narrow habbit, its
ability to withstand heat and
drought, and the fact that it re-
quires very little attention, it will
always be our most popular tree
for street planting. It's disadvan
tages are that it makes very little
shade and it is easily drowned out
A number of bottle trees were killed
last summer by people who allowed
the waste water from coolers to
run out near the trees If you want
your bottle trees to live, don't
keep the soil about their roots
saturated with water all the time.
They can't take 1t. The bottle tree
is a native of the arid regions
of Australia. 1t is well adapted to
our own climatic conditions.
We will take up a further dis
cussion of street trees next week
