TWO CROPS COTTON
In ONE SEASON
Government Expert Tells of Volun-
teer Growth in Imperial Valley
Same Condition Would Apply to
Colorado River Country.

That an entirely unprecedented con
dition in the history of cotton
growing has developed in the Imperi
al valley, which will no doubt result
in doubling the cotton crop in that
section, is the report of William l.
Rockwell of San Antonio, Texas. He
is irrigation manager of the govern
ment experiment stations, United
States department of agriculture, and
has just completed a ten days in
spection and investigation of cotton
growing in the Imperial, in company
with C.. E. TAFT, government expert
at Pomona
The remarkable fact is being re-
ported by the cotton growers of the
Imperial, according to Mr.. Rockwell
that an early crop of cotton was gath
cred by the ranchers from volunteer
growth of cotton from last year s
plants, which the frost failed to kill
as is invariably the case in the south
ern states. This early crop and a
later picking sure to follow will pro-
duce two bales of cotton to the acre
an unprecedented yield.
The report of MeSsrs. Rockwell and
TAFT will be submitted to the depart
ment of agriculture Immediately, and
will be incorporated in bulletin
which will be issued later They made
an extensive study of conditions af-
fecting the cultivation of cotton under
new thing, and found that a deeper
study of the soil and water condi.
tons by the ranchers, and a more
intensive cultivation, will result in a
great increase in the yield.
1--WE found conditions in the Impe-
rial most favorable to the growing of
cotton, and an unprecedented situa-
tiOn arising from the growing of vol
unteer plants from last years roots.
If the reports of the ranchers are
correct, and l have no doubt they
are, it is probable that where one
bale of cotton is grown to the acre
there will be two produced, and the
ranchers will have a return of $3.50
an acre at the present price of Is
carts Il pound.
1--WE found that the Imperial yield
IS even z little greater than else
where. Also that if the ranchers will
learn how to apply the water so as
ID conform with their soil conditions
they will increase this largely. For
Instance, certain soils take water
slowly. and it is not sufficient to al
low lhe water to stand, say II hours,
in the bitches. 1t will sink in to a
depth of from to Is inches only.
