Locklear's farm and Improvements,

barn, smokehouse, poultry house,
tobacco barn, and pasture fence cost
81, 500, and his payments amount to
$196 a year.
"The mar I used to work for re-
layed his crops in a two year TO-

we have a three year rotation. An

ing anything like the chickens, eggs,
butter, meat and lard, just to men
ton a few, that is consumed here.
Cold storage eggs and chickens are
shipped in by the car load every
year. On Pembroke farms we are now
helping them to put these things in
their farm plans and giving them a
chance to prove to themselves that
they can grow these essentials. We
don't know how long it is going to
take but we're going to fight it out
on this line if it takes a dozen win
tiers. We realize it takes time to form
new habits and adopt new practices,
but our families show an amazing
interest in learning to do new
things"
Raise Own Wheat
Last year all families on the pro-

two to ten acres per family. They
raised their own meat and had some
to sell, Each family has at least one
or two good brood COWS.
This year the families are also
experimenting tobacco, cotton, and
fed crops with pure bred chickens.
They are learning TO raise chick
ems the modern way. Some have

furnaces and flue type breeders.
Nest of the families now have so
to 300 blood tested baby chicks. BY

of pure bred hens.

Plan 10 Boost
Dairy Income

Because cost of dairy production
in the Imperial Valley is conSid-
erably more economical than in
other sections of southern Califor-
mia. the state and the nation, valley
dairymen can look forward to a
comparatively prosperous year
Thus did George Winright, county
assistant farm advisor, Saturday
sum up Professor G. f. Gordon's
dairy day talk at the FarnsWorth
ranch last Wednesday.
Prices during 1910 will continue
four to five cents higher than one
year ago. Winright said, and as a
result dairymen can expect an in
creased income.
Valley dairymen, however, should
concentrate on lowering feed costs
and increasing production. Winright
declared. Price cannot be regulated
by the dairyman. but he can regu-
late his cost and increase his pro-
duction through a Well-planned
wedding, feeding and breeding pro-
gram.
Lowering of cost for production
and increase in production will COM
bine to serve the same result as an
increase in price, Winright said.
That should therefore be the goal
of valley dairymen during the re-
mainder of 1910.
