THE COTTON GROWERS CONVENTION

The deliberations OF the county cotton growers
convention and the resulting resolution precise
ly what might be expected from a representative
meeting of the best men OF Washington county.
The matters brought before it were considered and
discussed with intelligence and thoughtfulness. The
conclusions arrived at such as must have pre-
scented themselves to the minds OF men OF judgment
sense, education and experience. The disposition

class Of in this section The organization Of an
independent county association, if carried out can

occasional bringing together OF such body Of men
as assembled in Greenville on Thursday and the ex-
change of ideas and experience among them would
be sufficient reason for the existence OF such an
association.

which takes with it, it IS probable that an entire

The practical assurance of the erection of the
long desired government building in Greenville IS
one more service for which the citizens OF this

the benefit OF its sanction and APPRECIATION

\ short telegram received here this week by May
or Yerger created an OF public interest and
satisfaction very disproportionate to its unassum-
ing brcvity.
Committee reported favorably bill providing pub
lie building for Greenve to cost $4,000.
"B. G. HUMPHREYS"
A public building has long been of the most
earnest desires OF the people of Greenve. They
feel and more that the constant growth and in
creasing importance OF the city demand it. The
probability Of the establishment of a Federal
district with Grcenville as its headquarters added
greatly to the hope that the wish for government
building might be realized
The various government interests in this city
make such a building almost necessity. This Is
the home of the extensive and valuable fleet and
property of the River Commission The county will
soon possess an experiment station which, estab-
shed on the rich soil and in the favored climate
of the Delta. is destined to be one OF the most
aseful and interesting in the United States. The
Grccnville harbor, as well 1evee system, are
in measure the care of the government, and will
yearly become moreso, until the whole levee sys-
TEN is finally taken in charge by it, The establish
ment OF a separate Delta Federal Court district with
GreenviIlc its central point will Of course very
greatly increase government interest in all that
cerns H., dryc9pment and welfare of this section.
There should be, and will be a Federal building in
Grcenville-a place that will be home for the
government; that will bring us it. and give
it and powerful interest in all that concerns
There appears to be reasonable certainly that
the measure will pass both houses and be signed
by the President before congress adjourns. In this
case, allowing for the unusual formality and red
tape with which such affairs are conducted it may
reasonably be expected that the beginning OF another
year will see the Greenville Government baiding IN

we believe this, believe it would be wrong to do

IMPERIAL WEATHER

The dwellcr ill the other parts of Uncle Sam'S domain has little conception of the glorieS and wonders of the climate in the desert regions of the Southwest nor do any except those who have experienced 1t realize the real merit of our Imperial Valley weather. We have passed nearly four years in this Valley and engaged in several lines of busi- ness during that time, some of it required heavy labor and some involved pretty close confinement to an office desk. We have stayed with 1t in all seasons and during all kinds of weather and we un- hcSitatingly say that we will take Imperial weather for ours in preference to any other. For at least niue months in the year there is nowhere on earth can beat us. It is just cool enough to be pleasant and not cold enough to be uncomforta ble; and the glorious days and nights of 1t. Weeks of perfect sunshine and months of delight. With just an occasional wind to drive away all disease germs and purify the air, the Imperial cool season is enjoyable above every thing else.
 The warm weather begins aDout the middle of May or first Of June, but there are still west winds which temper the heat and inters perse comfortable days and pleasant nights until about the first of July. During the four years of my experience with Imperial weather the highest temperatures have been reached between the 18th of June and 10th of July. 1t seems that the temperature rises higher and higher as long as the west winds blow, the air being perfectly dry and the heat, while burning and uncomfortable, is never oppres- sive. Instead, it has rather a stimulating effect. enabling a person to do a prodigious amount of work considering the great heat. This same condition is noticed on work animals, horses and mules working away in tenn peratures of 125 degrees in the shade without sweating and in apparent comfort.
 Generally, however, by July Is the west wind ceases to blow, and the breeze from the south east takes its place. This south east breeze is a damp and sultry wind and after it blows for day or two the air is durcharged with moisture and is sultry and op- pressive. During the last half of July and entire month ot August this kind of weather pre- vailS, and those who expect to we1r starched shirts and stiff collars will have to keep out Of our Valley at that season of the year. In fact we do not recom- mend July and August at all, except to those who insist upon real summer weather. But with the beginning of September one cau depend upon change. For the past three years the weather has changed promptly on the first day of September. The sultriness passed away i'll an hour, the wind returned to the west, the nights got so cool we need two or three blankets over uS to keep warm, and in short, tho weather cools so decidedly and promptly as to cause the remark that we have but two seasons in Imperial Valley, sum m~r and winter.
