COTTON IN CALIFORNIA.
Arrangement Made to Plant 1000
Acres in That State.

Arrangement Made to Plant 1000
Acres in That State.
In a letter to the Georgia depart
ment of agriculture Robert H. Hams
states that an association has been
formed for the purpose of expert
menting in the cultivation of cotton
in California.
Mr.. Hams has been gathering con-
siderable information anent the cot
ton plant, being particularly inter
ested in the sea island variety. He
states that in his section of Califor-
nia-he lives at Holtville in the
southern part of the state-many
Texans, who are familiar with cotton
production have taken up residence
there. They believe that the staple
can be produced on paying basis,
and have arranged to plant 1000
acres next year
The country has been reclaimed
from the desert by means of irriga-
ton. Cotton would be assured of a
regular and steady supply of water,
and the crop would not be endan-
gered by droughts and wet spells, as
occur in the south.
The experiment will be watched
with much interest
