The following item from our Calexico correspondent will be received with much interest The Government Ex- pertinent Station. formerly at Calrxico, has established the fact that the famous Sea lslard Cotton. the best grown. can be raised in the Valley as we'll. or bet ter. than anywhere else in this country. Mcssr- Mcdonald and Bennett, of No, q. will plant several hundred acres of cotton next spring. Mr. Mcdonald is a native of Louisiana hud knows bow to raise cotton as well as an Illinois farmer does corn. Both he and Mir. Bennett came to the Imperial Valley from the cotton belt of Oklahoma and are very enthusiastic over the prospects of heavy yield. They would be glad if others iu inc Valley would plant some R- the machinery necessary for getting the crop ready for market after picking will not cost any more for much larger acreage than for what they ex- pcct to put in. Anyone wanting in- formation can address them at Calcxico.

The only hope of escaping the most

proposition of the operators for COM

seemed to be nothing in sight but dis
agreement, we have finally come to the
point where, in the interests of this
movement, our country, people and our
agreement, we make a proposition that
when we first met did not appeal to us.

of two-year agreement, the country's
welfare and our long relations.
