(COncluoeQ rom page U first picking, which makes 580 pounds of lint. The second picking will yield at least another half bale. The later planting of Georgia cotton promises even better results.
 Not less than a bale to the acre has been picked from any field upon which there is a good stand. Old growers assert their confident belief that the late cotton, which will be picked in December and January, will prove better than any yet gathered
 Up to October 27, the gin had turn ed out 35 bales, almost all of them exceeding 800 pounds in weight, Gin ming is slow as yet because only the earliest cotton has opened and pick ing is not continuous on small tracts Later in the season the gin will be running at it's full capacity of three bales an hour,
 Pickers are paid a dollar a hun dred pounds and some of them are picking 38O pounds a day. An ord- nary picker can weigh in from 200 to 250 pounds
 At present prices, bale of cot ton is worth $75 and the seed is worth $lO A bale and half an acre means a return to the grower of better than $l25 to the acre this year. At the average price of 12 cents a pound, the return would be $1O5. The cost of growing, picking and ginning is estimated liberally at s25 a bale. An average net return from cotton of $50 an acre is a modest estimate, and that fixes the value of Imperial Valley land at a figure con- siderably above the present market price.

SHORT CROP IN THE SOUTH
Only a Little More Than Half The
 Normal Production

Financial and weather conditions combined produced the most unfav- orable report from the department of agriculture on the condition of the cotton crop that has been made al this season for many years.
 Dr. s. A. Knapp, chief of the CO., operative demonstration work for the department of agriculture in the south said the serious falling off in the fig ures were due to two conditions. One was the excessive rainfall in the early part of the early cotton crop section followed by serious drouth, and the second was the failure of the planters to obtain loans on. the crop from bankers. The latter reason forced the planters to dismiss considerable DOT tion of their labor at a time when the boil weevil was a most serious pest.
 The crop reporting board of the bu reau of statistics, department of agri- culture, estimates from the reports of correspondents and agents of the bu- reau that the average condition of the cotton crop on September 25 was 58.5 per cent of normal crop, as compared with 63.7 on September 25, 1908, and 67 the average for the last ten years on September 25.
