stroy the seed, in order to prevent
the deterioration of the long staple
cotton by hybridization
Resolved, that the California cotton
planters be requested to pack their
cotton bales with covering similar in
character to the Egyptian cotton, with
it's closer woven wrapping.

Approved:
FRANKLIN w. Hobby,
President
Mr.. Reed then introduced Fl. l.. ST.
courtney of Boston, who had travelled
across the continent at the instance
of the Long Staple Cotton Improve
ment Association of Boston to be pres
ent at this meeting of the cotton grow
ers of the Imperial valley. The speak
er explained that from the manufac-
turing point of view the use of long
staple and short staple are two en-
tirely different industries, using diff
ferent machinery and employing differ
ent classes of help. The supply of
short staple is exceedingly restricted
and owing to the ravages of the boil
weevil the area within which the long
staple can be grown has been dimin-
shing all the time. Accordingly the
association of spinners of which the
speaker was a representative had been
formed for the purpose Of doing what
might be possible to keep up the sup
ply, and to this end it had been
deemed worth while for him to make
the trip across the continent to bring
message of encouragement to the.
cotton growers of the Imperial valley.
Mr.. Sigourney said that the first con-
signment of Imperial valley cotton
which he ever saw had been a marvel
to him; that, in fact, he had never
seen any cotton of equal merit in his
experience.
Mr. Slgourney poured facts and fig
ures pertaining to the long staple sit
uation into his hearers, coming at last
to the climax from the producers
point of view when he stated that
staple IL inches long is worth prac-
tically double the market value of sta
pie that is one inch long. Pursuing
this further, he said that staple n
inches long is worth about three times
as much as staple one inch long, al
though the market for this grade of
cotton is more restricted, whereas
there would be no possibility of over
supplying the market for the l 1A-inch
staple.
The long staple situation was dis
cussed further by Argyle McLachlan
of the United States agricultural de-
partment Mr. McLachlan said that
there was no conflict between the
American long staple and the Egyp-
tian long staple which the government
is endeavoring to introduce. He said
that the reason that the department
has taken up the Egyptian species in
preference to the American varieties
was that it had been demonstrated
Imperial Valley press., 1912-04-03

that the Egyptian would produce in
quantity a uniform long staple, where
as up to this time the American long
staples had not uniformly produced
an even staple, although this might
prove out all right as soon as the seed
has become acclimated.
Mr.. Pierce of the Universal Fiber
Gin Company discussed the gin ques-
ton, urging the advantages of the gin
handled by his people, of which there
is an example installed at Brawley. A
committee of the association will be
named to take up the gin question fur
ther with the Universal Fiber Gin
people.
The association adopted the follow
ing resolution:
Whereas, the Long Staple Cotton
Spinners' Association of Massachu-
setts has laid before this exchange
certain resolutions urging the cotton
growers of the Imperial valley to
abandon the production of the short
staple varieties Of cotton and to go
into the cultivation of the higher
priced long staple varieties, and has
outlined in said resolutions various
details Of grading and baling, atten-
ton to which may increase the market
value of Imperial valley cotton, and
Whereas, the said Long Staple Cot
ton improvement Association has fol-
lowed up these resolutions by sending
a representative in the person of H. l..
Sigourney to urge these matters be-
fore this exchange, and
Whereas, the members of this or
ganizatiOn have received not only in
struction but encouragement and fresh
enthusiasm and confidence in the long
staple cotton industry of the Imperial
valley from the address of the said
H. l.. SigOurney; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Imperial Valley
Cotton Growers Exchange, in annual
meeting assembled, take this means
OF acknowledging the courtesy and
compliment paid this association by
the visit of Mr. Sigourney and by
these resolutions expresses its appre-
citation of his helpful suggestions as
we'll as the thanks of the members
to the Long Staple Cotton Improve
ment Association for it's interest i'll
the cotton industry of the Imperial
valley. Be it further
Resolved, that these resolutions be
entered upon the minutes OF tnlS as
sociation and copy thereof mailed to
the headquarters of the Long Staple
Cotton Improvement Association at
Boston.
After adjournment, the directors or

How to Amuse Children.

1t is often difficult to know how to
entertain children. as the little ones 50
soon tire of the games they already
know and new games are not easy to
find. Here Is one called ''bachelor's
Kitchen" which has all the charm of
a novelty.
The players sit in a row. all but one,
who goes to each of the others and
asks what he will give to the bache-
lor's kitchen. Each answers what he
pleases, but no two must mention the
same article. Then the questioner goes
back to the first child and asks all sorts
of questions, which must be answered
by the name of the article he has
given and by no other word.
We will suppose that one of the chill
dren gave a box of matches to the
bachelors kitchen. The questioner
asks, What did you have for break
fast?" "A box of matches" what do
you wear on your head?" "a box of
matches" What kind of a house do
you live in? "A box Of matches"
The object is to make the answerer
laugh. and he is asked a number of
questions until he does laugh or is
given up as a hard subject. Those who
laugh or add another word to their an
swer must pay a forfeit.
Tricks are always entertaining to
children, and u" amnsing quarter of an

MY NEIGHB Dor.

I'd give my heart to prayer and my
hands to daily labor;
I'd have my home cottage, set in
a space of green,
And you to be my neighbor, my
friendly next door neighbor,
With, maybe, nothing more than
Just wild rose hedge between.
I'd wander in my garden when the
twilight mists were falling;
I'd weed and plant and spade and
hoe, in warmth of rosy morns;
I'd linger often by the hedge, in
hope to hear you calling,
For a hedge is soon jumped over,
both the roses and the thorns.
And if you were my neighbour
Oh, my sweet beguiling neighbor-
MY counting would be night and
day,
And never, never done;
I'd tell you tales, I'd sing you songs,
I'd play on flute and tabor;
As the shepherds woo, I'd WOO you
dear,
And WOO till you were won.
All, then you'd be my neighbor, for
evermore my neighbor,
My nearest, dearest neighbor, my
own and only one.

Hanax For tha Childran.


A woman who copfesses that she
possesses an exceptionally sweet tooth
makes a plea for the frequent inclusion
of honey in the dietary of the little
folks of the household.
children do so love anything very
sticky" she says. Il believe that is
partly why children love honey. And
what is better for them? Why not give
them plenty Of white clover honey?
Most countries make far more use of
honey than we do in America. 1t Is
most wholesome and can be used in
many ways.
Honey and ginger cake and buns
are delicious, also honey in buildings
instead of lemon and marmalade. Then
honey with plain suet buildings or
plain corn cakes Is delicious. Apples
nearly baked, the core taken out, filled
with honey and cream. the top re-
placed and put back in the oven for
ten minutes. are very good. A little
honey with stewed figs or prunes is
excellent. For children honey may be
eaten with fish. Just boil or broil cod
or halibut and serve little honey
and milk sauce with it They will
like it much better than parsley sauce.
Then spread slices OF sponge cake
with honey, pile them up and pour
a suitable milk sauce over. This
makes a nice Sunday pudding. Some
children like honey with their cereal.
but strip perhaps is better If they will
eat it Very good taffy can be made
with honey and strip.
"And now the fresh fruit season is
with us. Give the little ones honey
and milk instead of sugar to dip their
fresh berries in.

Take a raw egg and empty 1t by
means of pinholes. AS soon as the in

of fine sand and then with a little
white wax seal up the holes.
Now. when you want to entertain

nounce that your egg is ready to obey
your slightest word 1t will stand on
the edge of knife or the rim of a
glass, no matter whether You put 1t
sideways or endways. Occasionally
tap the imitation egg gently SO as to
cause the sand to settle each time at
the bottom. and thus you will get 1t to
assume any position you wish. OF
course the children will not know the
egg is not good.

It is not expected the senate Will
