CITRUS POSSIBILITIES
Two Stations to Be Established tn Imperial Valley to Ascertain
 Conditions.

A. B Wollaber, forccaster of the local weather bureau, is to establish two stations in the Imperial Valley for the purpose of ascertaining the possibilities of citrus culture there. The stations will be maintained for several years and careful estimates will be made in regard to tempera- ture, and other weather conditions which have to do with successful cit rus culture.
 A number of ranchers have set out orchards and believe there is a great future in the industry. The govern ment is disposed to render all the as sistance in it's power, and will main tain the temperature stations for the express benefit of the ranchers.
 Wollaber will doubtless compile the result of his observations from time to time and thus give absolutely inn partial advice about the fayoring con- ditions of climate.-Ibs Angeles Times.

MODEST SAN FRANCISCO

The only thing that holds back the progress of San Francisco is sort of shrinking modesty she seems unable to overcome
 This defect was never more appar- ent than the other day, when Col. D. c. Collier of San Diego visited San Francisco in his capacity of director general of the coming San Diego's worlds fair.
 They picked some fluff from his coat lapel and told him they knew what would be a bully idea
 We will have the real worlds fair here-frst,' they said. "Then you can have Panama celebration down there afterwards, and we will let you use some of the old truck that was exhibited at our worlds fair
 Go. See what sweet Christian gen. erosity!
 San Francisco is little mixed, how ever, in her ideas. We are going to have the worlds fair that celebrates the opening of the canal, right down in Southern California, in San Die go. Afterwards San Francisco can have fair, or a strike, or a graft prosecution, or anything she likes. The Lancer in The Times.

IMPERIAL COTTON
(San Diego Unlon)

The fact that four of the Japanese commercial representative who re- gently made a tour of the United States, deemed it worth their while to visit the Imperial Valley, mainly to note the progress made there in growing cotton, is gratifying evidence of the keen interest that Is taken in the new industry that has been so successfully launched in the Nile del ta of the United States. One swallow does not make a spring, and two or three thousand bales of cotton may seem an insignificant item in an in- dustry whose annual output during the past decade has ranged from 9,500, 900 to 19,5O0,000 bales of about 500 pounds each. Nevertheless, the result of the first seasons planting of cotton In the Imperial country means tremendous possibilities in the future-possibin- ties to which the farsighted envoys from Japan are keenly alive.
 These foreign experts promptly grasped facts which many people of this country have hardly begun to apprehend And these, in brief, are: First, that the yield of cotton from the small area planted was much great CT than would have been obtained from very much larger area In the so-called cotton states of the south; !; second, that the Egyptian cotton grown in the Imperial Valley is great ly superior to the great bulk of the southern staple; and third, that cli- mate, soil and area of suitable land in the Imperial Valley assure an an- nnal output tens of times that. pro- duced in this experimental season. And finally, those commissioners from industrial Nippon were thoroughly alive to the fact that by the time the Imperial Valley cotton crop shall have become large enough to supply the mills of Japan, it will have the advantage of only few miles haul to tide water, there to be loaded upon the freighters bound for the Orient.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT

Samuel Yarham has lost his left foot through the accidental discharge of a gun in the hands of Clinton Cot ton, a young ranchman living near Holtville. Cotton had purchased a shotgun and had it on the street, ex- amining it's mechanism as Yarham walked towards him. The gun was discharged just in time for the shot to hit Yarham in the foot, tearing away the instep. Yarham was brought to the Central Hospital, at Fl Centro and it was deemed necessary to am putate the foot. Although 65 years of age, Mr Yarham withstood the shock wekk, and is making a good recovery

Walter E. Packard be appoint ed by the Regents as field assistant in Imperial County Investigation" at $100 per month, and that he go at once to the Imperial Valley and take up investigations as to conditions of soil, climate, behavior of plants and animals, and other things which would constitute problems, in order to try to help along agriculture in the I'm perial region. With this resident ex- pert, and with visits from other mem bers of the agrcuitural staff. as spe- cial problems are reported by him or by others Professor Wickson thinks valuable results can be obtained.
 Very sincerely yours

GOVERNOR MAKES GOOD
Arranees For Expert Agricultural In.
 vestigation in Imperial Valley

When Governor Gilett was in tm- perial Valley recently, he told the people that he would see that the Regents of the State University should provide for investigation of farmers problems and establish experiment stations in this county. He did not forget his promise An agricultural expert will be sent here to make pre- liminary investigations and studies of conditions, and when the Legisla- ture shall provide funds the stations will be established. The main sta tion should be and doubtless will be located at Heber, where the work can be done most advantageously in connection with the work of the col legiate institute The following cor respondence explains what has been done:
 H. B. PEARSON.
 Mayor of El Centro,
 El Centro, Cal,
 Dear Sir: I enclose you letter from Mir Henderson. Secretary of the Board of Regents and a copy of a letter written to Dr bange by Mir Wickson concerning the establishment of ex- perimental stations in Imperial Val ley. I am sending these to show you that I am keeping my promise.
 Your section is the most wonderful country I ever saw, and it would be very advantageous to the State to have the University establish an ex- perimental station in your county and investigate conditions of crops, soil, etc, and then find out what is for the best interest of the valley.
 Yours very truly,
 J. N. GILLETT.

notice of it was published in AL
