Hale of c. H. Weaver Company, Chi

Mr.. HoyelY returned to his home in
the Imperial valley Thursday morn
ing. He was enthusiastic over the
plan adopted ty the commission mer-

AS general manager of the exchange
Mr.. Hovley will open offices in the ho-

ing that under the existing arrange

crop will be materially improved ov er
these of past seasons.
All present agreed chat the amount
Of acreage so far developed is all that
can be marketed proftably, especially
IN view Of the fac that d presidential
election is pending Another factor
that may affect the prices is the en-
larged acreage in Texas and Florida.
In the Lone Star state, cotton is low
and as side issue many of the farm
ers in the southern portion will plant
a few acres Of cantaloupes. Both the
product from that section and the
