product would not be sufficient to be
noticed in the general cotton market.
The value of the product last season
was about $4,000 Next seasons out
put will be measured by millions. New
gins will have to be erected in various
towns, cotton seed oil mills will be
necessary, and an immense industry
will be established
The financing of this amount of new
business is now occupying the atten-
tion of those most interested. Consid-
cred financially, Imperial valley up to
this time has had many difficulties.
Every dollar that has been taken to
the valley has been invested in the
fight to make the desert bloom, and no
idle money has gone to swell the de-
posts of the local banks in that sec
ton So it has been difficult to bor-
row money with which to develop land
and raise crops. Now that staple
crop like cotton can be produced, one
which is imperishable and in constant
demand, and on which warehouse re-
ceipts can be used as collateral Sc
curity outside money will be available

for use in the growing of the crop.
At a meeting of the cotton growers
of the valley at Ell Centre on Feb
ruary 2, Mr.. Lotus of the Joseph r.
Lotus company announced that he
had arranged with capitalists to place
100000 at the disposal of his company
to be loaned on the growing crop of
cotton next season. Arrangements will
be made to lend a planter an amount
up to $40 an acre as soon as his cot
ton plants show above ground. This
amount will be sufficient to care for
his crop from the time of preparing
the ground up to the time of picking,
and will assist materially in the plant
ing of a large acreage.
Thus with the advent into the valley
of the energy, the pluck, the persever-
anCe. the nerve to dare and the ability
to do which characteriZes the spirit of
Southern California the desert is made
to blossom, the soil is made to yield
up treasures, consumers the world
over are benefited, and California has
added one more to her already long
list of staple products.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-20

and would easily double the net reve-
nue. of the growers.
The demand for cotton is increasing
much faster than the supply. 1t enters
into the manufacture of more articles
of commerce than any other material
with the possible exception of iron. The
use of cotton for fabrics used for cloth
ing measures only q small part of the
consumption. 1t is the basis of all
rubber betting and automobile tires.
1t has displaced barrels in the packing
of -four sugar, salt and cement, the
bags for the latter item alone requiring
100000 yards annually The govern
ment uses 100000 yards annually for
coin bags. Army khaki made from cot
ton has supplanted the use of woolen
uniforms, and cotton blankets have
taken the place very largely of woolen
blankets. The insulation of copper
wires for all sorts of electrical trans
mission and dynamo coils, as we'll as
the covering for asbestos for steam
pipes, requires immense amounts of
cotton. If every acre in the entire I'm
perial valley were planted to cotton the

cotton. But it has been shown by the
experiments of individuals as well as
the government experts that Egyptian,
or long staple, cotton can be grown in
the valley. In fact, several fields of
one acre each have been grown the
past season, but as the seed of tins
variety is more susceptible to climatic
conditions, it is necessary to propa-
gate the seed through two or three
seasons before it is sufficiently accli-
mated to produce the best results An
other year will see a considerable acre
age planted to this variety for CONNER
cial purposes. 1t is longer and much
finer staple, and is used in the manu-
facture of threat where it can be twist
ed very fine and yet have sufficient
length of staple to produce great COM
parative strength. The demand for this
quality of cotton always exceeds the
supply, and the price continues at
high mark, irrespective of the fluctua-
tions of the ordinary market. Such
cotton grown in the Imperial valley
should bring at least 30 cents pound,

this broad land so valuable as its for
ests, and nothing has been so ruth
lessly destroyed.
There is no way in which a cor
rect estimate could be made of the
damage done in this country by the
tree butcher.
THE practice of cutting off large
limbs several inches from the body
is common. Drought soon sets in and
the bark peals off. Then the stubs
rot, leaving hole in which water col
1ects, causing decay to the trunk of
the tree.
THE proper place to cut a limb is
close to the shoulder, which you will
find on every branch close to the
trunk.
You can take off a large portion Of
tree, and If y0u will watch the
wound and keep it well painted it will
heal nicely: and paint will do. This
keeps out the moisture, and preserves
the wood until nature can close il over
with a new growth.
There IS another specimen CT van
dalism that should be suppressed.
That is the criminal cutting Of trees
by teIeDhone and electric companies
for running their wires. As a rule
these merciless butchers have no re-
gard for beauty or life Of the tree.
They have no more right to run their
wires through your trees than they
have to cut away a portion of year
house for that purpose. Both are
equally your prOperty--but in case OF
the house It can be rebuilt, but the
tree cannot. OF course, it is some
times necessary to cut trees for line
men purposes. but in this event a man
should be employed who is capable of
performing the work so that there is
the least damage to the tree, and who
will as far as possible retain its
beauty.
a very common mistake is made in
trimming your trees, that of heading
back.
with all of mans intelligence, is
there anything that has done so much
