 Manufacturing
 There are 500,000 acres in Imperial Valley and at least 250,000 acres in the delta below the boundary that can be irrigated and cultivated. Any con- siderable part of this area devoted to growing cotton would supply raw ma terial for many large mills, employing thousands of persons and adding enor- mously to the wealth and commercial importance of Southern California. The cotton mill at Oakland works up about 15000 bales of cotton in year and of fers to take 10000 bales of the valley product. The Oakland mill makes only special fabrics and does not use as much lint as does a cloth mill.
 Cotton means to Los Angeles and San Diego opportunity to become great manufacturing cities and commercial ports. The coast ports need not wait for canals to place them in touch with the markets of Central and South

COTTON OIL IN BUTTER

Sveral of the largest newspapers de- voted to Norwegian dairy and farm interests have published an article which explains that farmers may ma terially increase the quantity and quality of butter produced by the use of cotton seed oil. The cotton seed oil hastens the coming of the butter, as- sists in the butter collection, and i'm proves the quality of both the butter and the buttermilk.
 This slight addition Of cotton seed oil cannot be considered as an adul- teration to the butter, since the in- crease in butter yield Is due largely to the fact that the oil causes the extraction of the butter fat from the milk to be more complete, and the in- crease in butter weight Is due to the more complete extraction, more so than to the slight amount sf the cot ton seed oil added.

promises to become a wealth producer scarcely second to the great citrus fruit industry of Southern California. They purpose to have their own gins, com press plants, an oil mill and refinery It is at this juncture that ample funds seeking profitable investment are made available for the settlers to use in their enterprise. The outcome is flat tering, but not surprising
 The Imperial Valley is fortunate iR -..any ways, but i.l none i9 it more fa- vored than in the adaptability of it's soil and climate to the production of cotton. For there are few crops pro- duccd in America that have so good records are money makers as has that staple.
 It should be remembered too, that ,hc Imperial Valley has tremendous advantage over most cotton growing regions of the south. It's soil is not worked out. and will produce for years much larger crop than is usually obtained elsewhere. A bale to the acre is considered large yield on many

$30 to $40 When oil sells at 50 cents gallon, the value of the products of ton of seed is $3S.60. The whole sale price of oil in Los Angeles is now 65 cents. The cost of manufac- turing the by-prOducts of cotton in Texas mills is $3.50 per ton of seed It may be little higher here because of the higher cost of power for opera tion of mills. But it is considered safe to estimate the average profit from seed, over the price of $15 a ton and the cost of manufacture, at $5 ton.
 Possibly 10000 acres of cotton may be planted this year. Estimates run as high as 30,000 acres, but a large percentage of falling down on the part of intending planters must be anticipated and there will be failures to mature the crop this year as there We're last year. If 10000 acres are planted it will be safe to count on about 15,OOO acres, but some will neg lect cultivation and irrigation and pick next to nothing and so reduce the average It may be safe to figure on 1000 tons of seed and if all that is subscribed for stock the resources of the company will amount to $1O5,OOO, which is sufficient for the installation and operation of the proposed plant. Stock subscriptions at the meeting at which the company was organized amounted to $27,0OO.

New Industry of Vast Importance to State Established by Success Of Cot ton Growing in the Imperial Valley. More Than TWenty Thousand Acres to Be Planted This Year.

A new industry of vast importance to Southern California has been es- tablished and the economic problem of Imperial Valley has been solved by the successful growing and market ing of cotton during the season of 1909. About 800 acres were seeded, but only abol 800 acres were culti- vated and picked. Many fields were neglected and left without water be- cause they were only experiments and many farmers lack the persistence to carry an experiment through to the end if they are not sure of it's suc- cess, but the fields that were prop erly cared for proved that more than bale to the acre can be depended upon as an average crop and that thorough cultivation and intelligent management will produce two bales on fairly good soil. The total crop of 1909 was 373 bales.
 It is difficult to estimate the cot

AMERICAN NILE COTTON co.

Californias newest industry, cotton growing, has been a pronounced sue cess in it's first season and the Am erican Nile Cotton Corlpany, of which Joseph R. Loftus, the well known realty dealer, property owner and col onizer, is president, was formed in the spring of 1909, to promote the industry in the great Imperial Valley.
 The company under his management purchased 3OOO0 pounds of Texas cot ton seed and tons of Georgia cot ton seed, which was sold at cost to

seed into the ground between April 10 and the middle of May.
 w. s. Wilkinson and F. w. Waite planted 55 acres and picked 42 bales of cotton. They received $2,835 for their cotton and the value of the seed is $1260 making a total of $4095. 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.
 Ten acres, less trihe, were plant ed by J. F. Buttram. The crop was 7437 pounds of lint, or 63 pounds less than 15 bales, which was sold for $6750 bale. The seed, at three cents pound, pays expenses, leaving a net profit of $100 an acre The yield was a bale and a half to the acre.
 On the Wilsie ranch 100 acres of cotton were planted from April l to July in experimental tracts. Part of the land produced 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 $3S98.80. The seed is worth $2000 The cost of growing, picking and gin ming was about $2500, leaving a profit of $339S or close to $34 an acre av- eraging the entire tract.
 The American Nile
 The soil and the climate of the des- ert of the Colorado, which includes Imperial Valley, the delta below the Mexican line and parts of Arizona, are better suited to the cotton plant than are the conditions in any other region except the valley of the Nile. In no other part of the United States has the Egyptian variety of cotton been grown with any success, but it grows here even better than in it's home.
 It has been known ever since the first settlement of the valley that the cotton plant grows thriftily in irri- gated desert soil, but the first definite demonstration of the suitability of the

 The growers have incorporated m- der the laws of California the Im- perial Valley Oil & Cotton Company with capital of $150,000 divided in to 10000 shares of the value. of $15 each. The shares are to be issued only to. growers of cotton in payment for seed at the rate of $15 a ton or one share for each ton of seed from this years crop pledged and mortgaged to- the company a security for notes given by the growers.

During the past season as high as two bales te the acre was raised on part of the land planted to cotton in the Imperial country, and that at least a full bale for every acre planted was not gathered was not the fault of the soil or climate of the valley,
 With the confidence that the sue cess of the past season has caused, and with the assurance, now given, that all needed capital will be readily obtainable, the people of the Imperial country will proceed to establish an industry that should soon become one of the greatest wealth producers of the state

farmers in the valley who were pre- vailed upon to try cotton growing as an experiment. More than 450 acres were sowed last year and every grow CT was more than satisfied with the results obtained.
 Before the crop was ready for gin ming, the American Nile Cotton Con- pany installed a modern gin in a building adjoining the railroad tracks. The most improved type of cotton gin ming machinery was installed, the gin having capacity of bale every half hour. A charge of cent a pound was made for ginning and baling the cotton and returning the seed to the grower. The results were highly sat isfactory to the patrons of the com pany as we'll as to the owners.
 Not only does the company intend to grow a big crop, but through as- sociation with a strong Eastern firm, they have made arrangements to ad- vance money to cotton growers, and applications approved by the American Nile Cotton Company or the Joseph R. Loftus Go. (Inc) will be accepted at the banks from those growers who wish an advance in order to get in the crop Such enterprise as this has marked the policy of the com pany since it's inception.

CaLifornia's Land of Cotton

soil and climate to cotton production was made by Ira Aten on his ranch near El Centro in 1906-7 MT. Aten planted about half an acre of south ern cotton and allowed the locks to remain in the opened bolls through the winter. No serious injury was done by wind or rain. The crop of 1907 was allowed to remain on the stocks like wise, and it's condition in the winter convinced visiting Texans that this valley was the best cotton country in the world.
 The Ten Thousand Club took up the cotton question and called meet movement toward extensive planting of the weed. Texans talked to the farmers and convinced them that the crop would pay better than canta- loupes or other perishabe products, but those that had not lived in cot ton country hesitated to agree to plant cotton until assured that gin would be provided to prepare the crop for market. At the suggestion of the president of the Ten Thousand Club the American Nile Cotton Company was incorporated to import seed and put up a gin, and the announcement that responsible citizens had taken that step gave confidence to the farm CTS and induced them to undertake the experiment of cotton growing on a commercial scale. The results of the first years experiment justify the

suits that have convinced the most sceptical that the staple can be pro- duced there in enormous quantity, and that it will prove one of the most profitable crops in the United States.
 The people of the valley have been prompt to see their opportunity and to take advantage of it. Entirely satis- fed with the first seasons returns, they have set to work to establish on firm foundation the new industry that is to be carried on there, which

Had MT Loftus held his cotton for the market and sold at the price re- ceived by the other growers, his pro-
 fit would have been $S20 more, or $52.3O 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 bale to the acre. Mr Loftus is planning to plant 2OOO acres this year and will put the

ton acreage of 1910 at this time, but it appears reasonably certain that not less than 10000 acres will be planted with a possibility of anything up to double that area.
 The actual results obtained by some growers last year justify the con- fidence with which the valley farm CTS are going into the cotton growing business on a large scale this year
 First Years Results
 J. E. Loftus planted 160 acres at Meloland, part with Texas seed and part with Georgia seed.
 The total crop was 17S,530 pounds of seed cotton, producing 54660 pounds of lint or 109 bales of 800 pounds, 49, o90 pounds of Georgia seed and 75, COG pounds of Texas seed. The cost of planting and cultivating was $S an acre; picking, one dollar a hum dred pounds of seed cotton; ginning, $5 a bale; hauling, one dollar ton. Mr. Loftus sold his cotton in ad- vance at 12 cents a pound, while other growers received from 13 to IA cents. The account stands thus:
