JAPAN WANTS COTTON.

Japan is ready to spend SC ,00O with the cotton growers of the Impe- rial valley this year. according to Yu- kinori Hoshino. managing director of the Kajima Bank of Osaka, Japan.
 ToshinO declares that because of the failure of the cotton crop in the south ern states. Japan must now look to the Imperial valley for cotton with which to run its mills Last year large orders were placed with the Imperial growers for shipment to the Orient.
 The only objection we had to this cctton,' said HOshinO. was that the fibre vas too short for our mills. have just been through the Imperial valley. have made a careful and com prehensive study of the product there and I find that they are growing a long fibre now. This means that We will place orders for large shipments as soon as I return to my country and have a conference with the mill own CTS and the bank.
 ''I was well pleased with what I saw in the Imperial valley, and l believe that the cotton industry there will be- come one of the greatest industries of your state, and that in a comparatively short time it will outdistance the south. base my belief on the excellent cli- matic conditions here. which make it possible for cotton growing without the losses that are periodically suffered by the southern growers.
 Japan will be delighted to become the patron of the Imperial valley. We will gladly direct the expenditure of our money to Imperial valley. because We can save tremendous sums in freightage of the raw material"
 The statement of the Japanese ban ker will undoubtedly be hailed with delight by the cotton growers of Im- perial valley. as the crop conditions are Low declared to be better than at any tme since this industry, still in is iufancv, was started.
