ss\YI1LL you take piece of whale l''
w steak smoked, salted or canned?"
This question will doubtless soon be
asked, for a new industry has sprung
up on the Pacific coast, and the whale
factor. More than this. those interested
in these new whaleries are making
money. for not a particle of this man.
NAL goes to waste and the meat has
already found a ready sale In China
and Japan. The meat tastes much like
beef Is not at all oily, as the hide of
the whale Is between the beef and
blubber. and 1t can be shipped cheaply
all over the country. Some meat has
already found it's way to New York,
where the foreign population like 1t.
AS a matter of fact, since whaling in
the new and approved style has been
undertaken on the Pacific coast pro-
digious stories have been told Some
three years ago a whaling station was
started off Vancouver island This be-
gan to pay large dividends, as the Pa
cifc ocean is open to all and whales
had been caught only occasionally,
though they often appeared in droves
of a hundred or more at a time Now
there are those who assert that wha1-
ing will become one of the big indus
tries of the west. One station is being
built in Alaska and is being thoroughly
equipped with modern apparatus for
whaling, which is a very different mat
ter from so years ago. Most of the
whales in Alaskan waters are fnbacks,
sulphur bottoms and humpbacks- Muir

miralty island. southeast Alaska, con-
tains many whales. Another whalery
Is being built on Puget sound and has
Just been equipped with an up to date
whaling vessel which cost $4,000.
Before these new ventures in obtain
ing whales most OF the whaling was
done by fleet which rendezvoused at
San Francisco. The arctic region and
Kadiak coast were worked. the whal-
ing fleet generally going out into the
open sea and the principal object In
getting the whale being the whale
bone The Eskimos would pack the
blubber away for future use in seal
skin bags and store the meat in little
underground chambers. Later day
whaling is conducted on scientific prin-
ciples and is a very different affair.
Instead of harpooning at the whale

country OF the world. stin the demand
is always Just little bit ahead Of the
supply. and one fact, familiar to those
who know conditions in the southern
states, is proof of this. When the cot
ton crop is going to the gins there is
an influx of cotton buyers from all the
world, men who know cotton as
mother knows her babe, and every lit
tie crossroads store in Dixie. through
the telephone, which has become such
an important factor of our modern life,

tory price is offered, or the contract

or Boston buyers is presented for full
fillment.

something new. The average cotton
grower in the southern states would
probably regard an irrigated cotton
field as an unheard of heresy. but re-
suits speak louder than unbiased doubts

these primitive methods can compare
with present day slaughter. where
everything is systematized. as in kill

The harpoon. instead OF being thrown
by hand. is shot from swivel gun
More than this. it has an explosive head
to make death doubIy sure. May and
June are the months when most whales
are caught. Off the coast of Alaska
the ice pack begins to move early in
April and there are leads" six or
seven miles from shore through which
whales wend their way TO their breed
ing grounds. 1t takes considerable
money to fit up a whaling station 1t
then 1t must be made ready for mar
ket, and this costs from $500 to $500.
and transportation must be added TO
this. But enough whale meat, glue,
tallow, whalebone. leather, fertilizer
and oils are obtained to make the
profits almost twice the cost. AS soon

inflated with air. so 1t will float, and
towed to the station, where it is pre-
pared for market Though some whales
are more valuable than others, every
kind is utilized. as in Norway. whence

obtained from near the mouth. The
head alone OF the sperm whale Is worth
many hundreds of dollars. The leading
between the meat and blubber is en-
ployed in upholstery and book binding
the meat is cut into strips salted, dried
or canned, the bone is converted into
guano and the loose pieces OF flesh
make fertilizers. Nothing is thrown
away, whereas formerly after the
whalebone was taken the carcass was
thrown away or given TO the Indians.

states.
That this years cotton crop in Cali
fornia means much to the state Is be-
yond question. The fact that more
than a thousand bales of cotton. Cali
fornia grown, has gone forth on tho
markets of the world In competition
with the product of tho older cotton
planting states viii inevitably result
in calling attention to the fact that
another cotton producing country has
been discovered, and wherever cotton
goods are made or cotton bought and
sold there will be comment and a care
full watch will be kept to see If the
future development warrants invest
ment in the field. While the United

conducted with the Egyptian or long
staple variety promise much more of
success. Repeated efforts to grow
Egyptian cotton in the south have re-
suited universally in failure, while on
the other hand all experiments made
in southern California have been sue
cessful beyond expectation, and after
a few years more of patient work there
is hardly any doubt that the long
staple variety of the cotton plant will
be a common crop, and as the price
offered upon the market for the long
staple variety is fully twice as much
as that brought by the ordinary kind.
coupled with the fact that the cost of
growing it is no more. there is possi-
bility of profit that is rarely equaled
in any part of the United States The
annual tribute that is paid by this
country for the Egyptian cotton is
about $4,000 900, and the acreage nee
essary to produce this amount would
be at least 100000 acres, which seems
a vast lot of ground at first glance,
but when it is known that in the I'M
perial valley there are half a million
acres in the United States and two hun
dred thousand on the Mexican side, a
hundred thousand acres more or less
does not seem to cut such large
figure.
Aside from frost the menace to the
cotton grower that looms largest and
threatens most is the boil weevil, but
with the march of progress there is no
question that it will become an
unimportant element, and in recognf-
tion of the cotton industry, which is
one OF the most important in the
United States, the government is con-

mental stage is surely passed. and with
the growth Of knowledge and the eX-
perience that time alone can give there
is scarcely any doubt that in
few short years the cotton fields OF
southern California will present an
acreage that yearly grows in area and
that draws from all the markets Of the
world men who represent cotton fac
tors in far distant lands. Especially

fact has been determined definitely that
the character of the soil is exactly
such as cotton plants need and thrive
in. the present crop has proved this be-
yond doubt and IS it filters out upon

Tls bane OF cotton growing IN the
south Is frost. the faintest nip Of freez-
ing weather keeping the cotton bolls
from opening and stopping its develop
ment. This phase Of cotton raising is
not existent around FL Centre, and
consequently there will result greater
average production than In those
southern states where, in the bottom
lands, the frost creeps early sometimes
and seals UP the half ripened bolls,
thus making the production in pounds
per acre very unsatisfactory and bring
ing about frequently financial loss.
The saying that cheap labor, the negro
and hts "op mule are vital factors IN
the profitable raising of cotton is COM
mon IN the south. but, while there
seems TO be a sympathy between the
southern darky and the cotton field,
still the scant production per acre. less

SO the cotton buyer follows wherever
1t grows. and in the Imperial valley
this year the cotton buyer appeared.
The price paid for the first carload
was 13 cents a pound, and at that price
the yield per acre figures out hand
some profit and one that is in no way
equaled by the older producing SEQ
tions of the United States At one
bale per acre, the average production in
southern California, the bale weighing
500 pounds, the gross proceeds from the
cotton alone is $65. To this the value
of 1000 pounds Of cotton seed ct SIS

very satisfactory return of $72. 80,

become known can hardly fail to bring
an influx of people interested In the
economical growing OF cotton from tho
eastern states and that there will be
many thousand acres planted around
Ell Centre next year is certain. Just
what the net production of cotton per
acre will be when experience with ir-
rigation develops the most productive
method OF cultivation no one can tell,
but the fact that in some places over
a bale and one-ffth has been produced
gives much of future promise and sets
a standard for the grower to strive for.

where cotton growing has exhausted
the soil and left it almost barren. This
danger, in the Imperial valley, where
the soil Is loose and sandy, Is at a
minimum. for with irrigation the mois-
ture attracts plant food from depths
and brings forth lusty plants that
mature unfrosted and produce large
and well filled boil.

cotton around El Centre with the re-

and then was picked and ginned and

crop is no small step toward placing
California in the list Of cotton states
for while there has been a desultory
series Of experiments made from time

the present crop Of cotton in the I'm
perisl valley is the first attempt to
raise cotton commercially, to compete
with Texas and Mississippi. the darky

states. The growing Of cotton under
irrigation was something new, and the
result upon any scale Of size was, to
say the least, a doubtful matter, but
now that irrigated cotton is an accom-
plished fact, ana the production under
artificial moisture has proven thor
oughly gratifying, there is no doubt
that cotton Will become a factor in the
economics OF the Imperial valley, and
that more acreage each year will be
put IN.
