TORREON EXPECTS
GOOD COTTON CROP
Indications For a Banner
Season-Quiet Celebra-
tion-CIub Installation.

Torreon, Mex, July 20.-This has
every appearance Of being a cotton"
year. The atmospheric conditions IN
the Laguna district are such as to ad-
vance the growth Of the plant, The
water In the Nazas river has come in
sufficient quantities to guarantee
fair crop in case this flow continues with
more or less volume until August 15,
despite the adverse conditions which
faced the planter early in the year
and which gave promise of heavy
losses
Heavy Rains Help.
From July to July 13 the Nazas
river filled the San Fernando and the
Calab azas dams above Torreon, and
overlooked the Coyote dam below this
city on an average of 20 centimeters
for four days. This overflow went
to San Pedro and though not abund-
ant, arrived very opportunely. After
July Is the water has not come in
large quantities and has been appor-
toned to the larger dams one at a
time in "tandas" in order not to dis
tribute smaller quantities among sew
eral simultaneously.
Plants Bear Wen.
The water which has already arr
rived furnished auxiliary irrigation"
which aids the growing plants, which
are bearing Well The SOca crop is IN
excellent condition. having benefited
by the heavy general rains which have
fallen all over the cotton belt Besides
this the Aguanaval river has furnished
strong current which has aided the
southern part of the district In ad-
dition to the heavy soca crop. ESQ Totes
of cotton land have been irrigated.
Officers Installed.
At postponed meeting Of the stock
holders Of the Torreon Foreign club,
the following officers for the ensuing
year were installed: President, E. J.
