twill Payne in Saturday Post)
 Texas judge, is getting out of her onions, through cooperation, about all there is in them. But in far greater agricultural field there is much waste. In the Lone Star State are several ir- regular patches of land, comprising an area about equal to Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut con- bined, which are planted to cotton and produce from a quarter to third of the total cotton crop of theUnited States. The value of the product runs about two hundred million dollars yearly, and we'll qualified judges have estimated the annual waste in mar keting at figures that would make the Standard Oil Company's mouth water A cotton dealer is quoted as having said some time ago: 'I would rather have the loss and rake-off between the gin and the port than to have the farmers entire profit on the crop"
 Until rather recently. at least, the farmer hauled his cotton to town as soon as he could get it picked and ginned, and sold it to a buyer in the street. The street buyer cut a hole or two in the bale and pulled out a couple of handfuls as samples. Then he sold the cotton to a local factor, who sampled it over again This local factor next sold the cotton to one of several large factors, who made a fresh cut in the bale for his sample and then sold the cotton to an ex- porter, who promptly got out a jack knife and took his whack at the bale. By the time the cotton reached port the bale bore some resemblance to last years scarecrow. And every middleman who cut into the bale also took his slice off the price. This mar keting system of forty years ago when the United States produced one

COTTON SEED FLOUR.

The state chemist of Texas has ana lyzed cotton seed flour and concludes that fl is a substitute for meat but not a substitute for wheat flour. He says it is wholesome but very rich and should be used moderately, and he advises mixture with other flour in the proportion of one part to four of the other flour Two or three ounces a day is sufficient; more might be injurious Cotton seed flour con tains less crude fiber than cotton seed meal. more than twice as much pro- tein as meats, more than twice as much fiesh-forming material as any meat. four times as much protein as eggs or wheat flour In larger quan- titles 1t is fatal to pigs but does not injure other animals.

WATER RENTALS.
To Imperial Water Companies.

The Receiver for the California Devel- opment Co. is an Officer of tile Superior Court of Imperial County. His duties are to protect and maintain the canal system belonging to the California Development Company, and sell the water conveyed in the canals to the various Mutual Water Companies operating in Imperial Valley and make collections for the same.
 Up to date the Receiver has deemed the agreements made and entered into between the Sociedad de Irrigacion y Teranos de la Baja. the California De- velopment Company, and the various Inn perial Water Companies, "profitable agreements" and continued them in force although it is yet an open question whether or not the said agreements are profitable, in the sense that the revenues derived from the sale of water under said agreements will provide the Receiver with sufficient money to protect, main tain and operate the Canal System.
 During the six months and nineteen days that have elapsed since the ap- pointment of the Receiver it has been found necessary to issue Receivers Ger tifcates amounting to S396, ,O51 % in order to protect, maintain and operate the Canal System, the funds obtained through the sale of these certificates have been expended with approval of the Court
 Receivers Certificates are now abso- lutely unsaleable, and there is no other way to obtain money to continue ope- rations save by the sale of water, Hence 1t Is necessary for the Receiver to de- mand the immediate payment for all wa ter delivered between January 1st. and June 3Oth, 1910.

EXPLOSION AT ANORADE
One Man Killed and Two Seriously injured When Blast Was Fired
 Without Sufficient Warning.

One man is dead and two are seri- ously injured as the result of an ex- plosion at the grading camp of J. H. Maxey at Andrade, on the Inter- Cali fornia Railroad, just below the inter national line.
 The explosion took place Wednes- day forenoon. The fuse to a heavy charge of powder was touched off by workman without sufficient warning to the other men in the quarry. It is said that a foreman named Jacobson was responsible for the carelessness and that he has fled from investiga- tion.
 One Mexican was killed outright Two others were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital at Yuma

DIRECTOR NEWELL HELPED
Told Congress Need For River Control
 Was Urgent to Prevent Disaster.

The Reclamation Service stood in with Senator Flint and Congressman Smith in their efforts to induce Con gress to take up the work of protect ing irrigation in the Southwest by controlling the Colorado river in Mex ico. Reports by engineers of the ser vice, showing the situation to be crit ical, were on file in the bureau, and Director Newell promptly supplied Senator Flint with the facts in letter.
 NewelPs letter quoted the telegram from R. F. Wills and R. D. McPher- rin, explaining the situation and com tinued:
 This telegram refers to a matter which has been under discussion in Congress and elsewhere for many years, and has again reached an acute stage. The protective work which must be built to keep the river in its former channel must be within the Republic of Mexico. Nothing can be done by the United States, unless with the consent of Mexico. It ap- pears from the information now avail able, that no temporary method will avail, and that in order to check the stream, substantial work must be built The cost of executing this work may be $1,OOO,OOO or it may be $2000,000. The last attempt was at cost claimed to be over $l,000,0O0.
 "In attempting previous work of this kind, large sums of money were lost by the Canal Company in fruitless eff forts because there was not enough money immediately available, there being recorded five or six separate attempts each more expensive than the proceeding and all unsuccessful, until the closure of November, 1906, was made by the Southern Pacific, which worked for month, and the latest closure at a cost of above $500, ,OOO'
 MT. Newell adds: "Even with a treaty with Mexico and with $2,00000 available, the United States can do little or nothing excepting to take advantage of the right way and fla cilities controlled by the Southern Pa ciflc Company in the way of trackage, rolling stock, motive power, quarries, steam shovels,etc On the previous attempt, it is reported that the South ern Pacific went to extraordinary ex- tremes, taking off fast trains and bringing rock from various railroads and from distances as high as 400 miles. Apparently similar work must be undertaken immediately to prevent the possibility of disaster to thousands of prosperous farms and to several growing cities in Southern California.

bale of cotton where it now produces five or six-still prevails to a consid erable degree. This excessive samp- ling involves, of course, much wasted cotton. Owing partly to the unkempt condition of the American bale, freight charges and marine insurance are larger than they should be. There are other causes of loss. Indeed, the president of the Southern Cotton As sociation says that no other big pro- duct in the world is marketed with so much unnecessary waste.
 mind, inspired by literature of ante bellum days, associates cotton with plantations of baroniai extent and i'm agines the typical cotton grower as q sort of agricultural nabob: but in Texas, at least, cotton growing is dis tinctly a small farmers proposition. The census for 1900 shows in that state 22S,000 farms whose chief pro- duct is cotton, and the average size of these farms is only 9S acres. The same census shows, based on returns for 1899, that the average gross in come from these cotton lands was SLY per acre, or $509 per farm. Obviously there is nothing very bar onial or nabobby in a gross yearly income of $509.
 AS matter of course the cotton grower, like most other farmers, has helplessly taken whatever price was offered him for his product, irrespec- tive of whether it covered the cost of production.
 Also after the farmer had parted with his cotton he frequently saw a clique of enthusiastic agriculturists belonging to the New. York Cotton Exchange take the commodity in hand and run up the price on the spinners several dollars bale-a performance that is still going on with unabated Zest, and which the United States Government rather tardily proposes to investigate.
