American Nile Company Ad- viSeS Farmers to Obtain
 Seed and Begin
Southern Railroad Man Predicts Great Success For New industry In Inn peria Valley and Shows Advantages of Region Over Other Districts.

It k the opinion of those who have had experience that cotton should be planted this month in Imperial Val ley, and 1t is time for farmers in- tending to experiment with the crop to get the seed and prepare for ac- tive work The American Nile Cot ton Company has a carload of seed, fumigated and passed by quarantine inspectors, which can be obtained by planters at cost.
 The American Nile is the only cot ton company organized and doing bus mess in the valley, and 1t will put up ginning machinery and com press to prepare and bale the pro- duct. The company has procured the best seed obtainable in the South and offers fair, reasonable terms to all who desire to cooperate in the es- tablishment of new industry in this region. Advice to planters to obtain other seed and "go it alone" is not disinterested and not worthy of at tention.
 J. T. Bate, commercial agent of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway, who is thoroughly familiar with the cotton business, was in Fl Centro this week looking into the cotton sit uation. MT. Bate had no doubt of the adaptability of Imperial Valley soil and climate to the growing of cotton, and he predicted great sue cess as soon as the best methods of cultivation are determined by experi- ment
 The industrious, intelligent cotton planters of Texas and Oklahoma, said MT. Bate, make good profits or an average production of less than bale to the acre and under conditions less favorable than those found in this valley. Oklahoma farmers generally have given up grain and put their land into cotton. Those who fail or remain in debt are the shiftless 'poor whites" who are too lazy and ineffi- cient to cultivate anything properly and would be unable to make de- cent living in the garden of Eden. Until cotton mills are built in Cal ifornia, the crops probably win ''' -. ported to Japan by way of San Fran cisco, and have an advantage of at least fifty cents hundred weight in freight rates over Texas shipments to Japan. The rate from Texas is $1.35, of which 35 cents is steamship rate. Mir. Bate said there should be no difficulty in selling the crop, as buy CTS would come to El Centro and pay cash to the grower on delivery of bales at the railroad yard, The seed. at $14 a ton, will pay for pick ing and ginning, and it will be val uable feed for stock
