NEW WATER PROJECT
Number Eleven Land Holders May Form Water Users Association to Obtain Supply From
 Laeuna Dam.

H. J. Messinger, president of Water Company No II, has been formulating a new project whereby it is hoped water may be taken direct from the Laguna Dam to supply the great tract of land embraced in the territory cov- cred by Water Company No. Il. It is estimated that fully 28,000 acres are in position to be irrigated by this proposed system, should 1t be car ried through
 MT. Messinger is in receipt of letter from R. A. Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior, in which he states that owing to the shortage of funds for the Reclamation Service there seems to be no way at present by which the Government could undertake the irrigation of these lands, but he suggests that if the settlers of the dis trict organize an irrigation district, or by interesting private capital can obtain the means for con structing the necessary canals, the Department of the Interior will if

HIGH SCHOOL SITE
Trustees Receive From B. G. Balcom Certificate of Title to Ten Acres
 in Western Part of City.

The certificate of title for the new Central Union High School site was completed the first of this week, and the property formally passed into the hands of the board of trustees of the union district.
 The location is slightly one, it be- ing south and west of the ten-acre site recently donated to Imperial coun- ty by MT. Balcom as a site for the permanent Court House. The High School tract of ten acres has been donated to the district by MT. Bal com. It will afford ample space for main building and auxiliary halls for| manual training departments, etc, and will give plenty of ground for an ath- letic field.
 It is probable that steps will be taken to improve the property this spring by the setting out of trees, ss that they may have a good growth by the time the district is prepared tel erect its new buildings

Had MT. Loftus held his cotton for ceived by other growers, his pro- fit would have been $820 more, or $52.30 an acre. Part of the planta- tion produced better than a bale to the acre, but the average was re- duced by the areas of poor stand and late planting. There is no question that with the experience gained last year the careful grower can depend upon more than a bale to the acre. MT Loftus is planning to plant 2O0O acres this year and will put the seed into the ground between April 15 and the middle of May.
 Waite Wilkinson Tract
 w. S. Wilkinson and F. w. Waite planted 55 acres and picked AZ bales of cotton. They received $2,S35 for their cotton and the value of the seed is $126O making a total of $4O95. The expenses were: $550 for cultivating and hauling, $672 for picking and $21O for ginning; total, $1432, leaving a net profit of $2,663 or $4S per acre. They are confident of making a bet ter crop this year.
 A Bale and a Half to the Acre
 Ten acres, less a trifle, were plant ed by J. F. Buttram. The crop was 7437 pounds of lint, or 69 pounds less than 15 bales which was sold for $67 a bale The seed, at three cents pound, pays expenses, leaving a net profit of $1OO an acre. The yield was a bale and a half to the acre
 Profitable Experiment
 On the Wilsie ranch 100 acres of cotton were planted from April 1 to July 8 in experimental tracts. Part of the land produced a bale and a half to the acre and other parts not enough to pick. The latest plantings still show unopened bolls The crop picked produced 57 bales, which sold for $3S9SSO, The seed is worth $20OO. The cost of growing, picking and gin ming was about $25OO, leaving a profit of $339S, or close to $34 an acre av Q eraging the entire tract.

He bellev- es that the vegetable crops would fur- nish much material, and that within a comparatively short time Imperial Valley fruit will also be a factor for the canneries to consider.
 Upon Mir Near's report to his friends and neighbors at Monroe, Washing ton, depends the coming of several families to Imperial Valley. These people are tired of living ina. coun- try where the rainfall and cloudy weather is so excessive, and they have their eyes turned towards this land of sunshine.

A TON OF WOOL
Pieces from Ferris Ranch Companys Sheep Brought to EI Centro by
 Four Horse Team.

The wool clip from the sheep ranch of the Ferris Ranch Company locat- ed one mile south of the McCabe church, was brought to Fl Centro Monday morning by F, B, Ferris. A four horse team was used to haul in the fleecy load, The wool weighed little more than one ton.

RACE FOR PENNANT
EI Centro and Imperial Teams Wilt Finish League Season
 Alone.

Only few points now separate Bl the baseball pennant, Imperial having made another gain on the leaders. It looks now as if the two games to be played between these two clubs will readily decide the matter and both clubs are getting ready for them.
 Fl Centro won at Brawley Saturday by a score of to 2. Willis pitched a fine game and the El Centro men hit Tonnasson when hits meant runs Sundays game was one of the best of the season and Berger, who was on the slab for Brawley, was at his best With the exception of Cameron, who made two smashing drives for extra bases, the El Centro men were unable to hit effectively and the Northend- CTS won by score of 2 to 1.
 In the meantime the expected hap pened over in Yuma. The weakened Arizona club fell easy victims to Im- perial losing both games, one, 10 to 3 and the other to 2.
 Arrangements have been made to finish the season on shorter schedule than had been proposed and the re- suit is that El Centro plays Holtville here Saturday. and at Holtville Sun day, while Brawley will play Imperial at Imperial, Saturday and Sunday. Af- ter these two games are played Braw- ley and Holtville will retire and Im- perial and Fl Centro will finish the season with three games, one to be played at Imperial, one at El Centro. and the place for the third game will be determined by a toss up These last games will also determine which team will win the pennant. The sea- son is scheduled to end February 6.
 The following is the league stand ing to date.

At the first planting only eight pounds of seed to the acre were used and the result was a poor stand. Experiments proved that twenty pounds to the acre were none too much. Where plenty of seed was planted the stand was good. On land that had been used for growing sorg- hum, the cotton was choked out and curing stand It was found also that June planting was too late for ma turing full crop.
