EAvORS EGYPTIAN COTTON.

The question of profit in cotton
growing, and the relative profits in
different varieties OF cotton, are
matters That concern everybody, and
especially the cotton growers, says
the Imperial Valley Press. c.. w.
Barton has given out some definite
facts regarding Egyptian cotton that
will prove highly encouraging. He
believes there is no comparison in

cotton possible. He is associated
with d. 4. Wheeler in growing cot
ton on the east side. anu they have
had experience with upland. Durango
and Egyptian Last year they raised
zen acres of Egyptian. from which
they harvested l3 bales. which sold
for $l349, or at % IA cents pound.
From Durango they got less than 4
bale and sold for I71a cents. Their
Egyptian cotton cost them $40 an
acre 10 grow and $50 to harvest
making a total Of ST an acre for
labor expense and leaving their net
profit $748 for the 10 acres above la
Dor The expense Of harvesting the
Egyptian cotton is SO great that
many growers have been discouraged
but from this experience it would
seem that it is very desirable crop

Barton believes it is to be expected
that the price OF Egyptian will con

ANOTHER REASON FOR A RAIL
ROAD

Baled alfalfa hay is selling in
Los Angeles for $1,000 per ton in
car load lots. Out here in the Palo
Verde valley we are growing it at
the rate of one and one-half tons
per acre. every three weeks. We
are selling the best alfalfa that can
be produced for $ll0O and $12. 90 per
ton.
Phoenix ranChers are shipping
thousands of tons of alfalfa to the
Los Angeles market and we are two
hundred miles nearer and can't ship
a pound. for no other reason than
that we lack the railroad to haul
cur product to market
Just over the mountain yonder to
the north Of us, only forty miles
away, engines, whose whistle we can
almost hear. are pulling alfalfa, hogs
and cattle past our door to this ex-
cellent market and we can't enter
into the competition because we have
not got the transportation facilities
And. yet. men will still argue that
we don't need railroad.

SOIL, WATER AND SUNSHINE.

1t is only matter of a few short
years when the Colorado River Val
ley all the way from Needles to the
Mexican border will become the gar
den spot and the grainery of the
Southwest. The transformation OF
this once arid desert TO great
fields of cotton. alfalfa and grain, is
fast taking place. The mesquite and
greasewOOd are fast disappearing and
wherever water is applied to the
rich soil the response is marvellous.
Better means Of reaching the mar
kets are being sought. for the out
put of these products is becoming
enormous. Roads are being pushed
further into the desert, where the
course OF empire Is taking it's way"
Thousands have already found
homes here and there is room for
thousands more.
The soil is deep and rich, the
climate is ideal all the year and that
greatest OF all natures gifts--health
is the most abundant.

RIVERSIDE MINES ARE IN
VOLVED.
! N

A fight btween the government and
the Iron Chief Mining company for
iron bearing lands in Riverside
county valued at several million
dollars was begun last week before
Registrar Buren, and Receiver Rob
inson of the United states land
office. The Iron Chief is said to
have been organized by the Southern
Pacific railroad interests and that
corporation is alleged to be back of
the Iron Chief in the battle.
The government charges that the
Iron Chief has not complied with law
in regard to- Improvement OF the
land, and therefore is not entitled TO
patents to it's claims About 1000
acres of mineral land is involved in
the contest.
Burton c.. Green and Silas Gillian,
mining experts, and federal employees,
were called yesterday as witnesses
to bear out the government 8 conten-
tons. 1t probably will be several
days before the government presents
all it's evidence.
Before witnesses were called, Reg
istrar Buren, and Receiver Robinson
denied a motion of Mrs. Catherine
Robinson presented by Attorney AL
fred F. Macdonald to be allowed to
intervene in the case The Robinson
interests are adverse to those of the
Iron Chief Mrs. Robinson alleges
she owns a half interest III the Pata-
gOnia group of mines claimed by the
Iron Chief
The property is located forty miles
southwest OF Blythe and fifty miles
northeast of Mecca, in the Iron noun
tains, a small range lying to- the
southwest of the ChuckaWallas.

NEW DE SERT HAY PLANT.

Sudan grass, a new drOught-resist-
ing hay plant, promises to become
th leading grass for hay production
IN the United States, according to c.
Y. Piper of the Department OF AZ
1iculfure, who has supervised a mum
Der OF experimental growths.
The grass is a native of Egypt and
is especially suited to the semi-arid
grounds where no perennial grass
has thus far been found suited to
the conditions. 1t grows to a height
of from four to eight feet. will make
from two to three crops a season
and is preferred by cattle, hogs and
horses to any other fodder.
Roland Mckee of the Agricultural
Experiment Station in Chico expert
mented with the new plant during
the season of 1912 and is enthusias-
tic concerning it's value.
"A fine growth was made" he re
ports. "and without question this is
the most promising grass Tor grow
ing under irrigation in the Sacra-
mento Valley that has yet been tried.
"The number of cuttings of hay
that it is possible to secure was not
determined, as with both paintings
a seed crop was allowed to mature,
but it seems probable that three
good cuttings of hay can be made"
The seed was planted at Chico on
May 2, and two months later the
grass was in full bloom and from
four to six feet high. 1t was cut
for hay on July Is, nine weeks after
planting, Reports from Texas, Vir-
ginia, North and South Dakota are
equally enthusiastic.

COMMITTEE IS
PUSHING WORK
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN BEING WAGED .
AMONG LAND OWNERS AND
ENTRYMEN TO RAISE NECES-
SARY GUARANTEE.
(PalO Verde Valley HeraldD

No stone is to be left unturned by
the Blythe Chamber of Commerce
through its railroad committee in
making a canvass to secure the $1O0,-
900 guarantee fund to be used to
bring railroad into the valley with
[ in year.
Special representatives are to be
appointed to make a personal cam
paign among the land owners and
entfymen and where these cannot
be reached directly they will be ad-
dressed through personal letters.
The committee has gathered large
amount of data showing the advant-
ages that will result directly to every
one interested in this fertile valley
and this information is to be placed
in the hands of every land holder.
The rousing send-Off given the
railroad proposition at the Railroad
Day mass meeting in Blythe two
weeks ago made it evident that the
ranchers realize the importance of
immediate action and those pushing
the plan believe that with the data
at hand the nonresident owners will
be ready to join hands for early con
struction OF steam road.
Several hundred dollars in addition,
al subscriptions have been added
during the last week and business
men i'll every corner Of the south
west who have invested in Palo
Verde land are sending in their as

SHOCKED The PRINCE
SERVANT A LITTLE TOO FAMIL-
Jar WITH ROYAL HEIR.
Rebuked for Obsequousness, Man
Erred in the Opposite Direction
Lucky for Him Naughty EN-
peror Did Not Overhear.

In her book of "reminiscences of the
German royal family Mrs. Hugh Fra
ser tells the following story of the
crown prince and a too obsequious
mental.
His royal highness had just taken
into his service a new manservant,
but the overdone obsequiousness Of
the man Jared on his master At
last the crown prince became so irri-
tated that the servant received an In
timation to the effect that his high
ness would prefer to be treated with
more simplicity.
The day after having given this
warning the crown prince was seated
at his table writing, when he sudden
Thinking it was his wife, he turned
quickly, smiling, only to behold the
hitherto obsequious servant standing
beside him and regarding him with a
most friendly smile. Before the as
tonished heir to the German throne
could find suitable words in which to
rebuke the servants presumption, the
latter jerked his thumb in the direc-
ton Of the door, and announced:
"Pappchen has come to see you"
Now, the crown prince was expect
ing a call from his father, the emper-
or and as "Pappchen" literally means
Little Papa" his establishment in
creased.
"Pappchen!" he gasped, as soon as
he could articulate. Then thinking
that the servant mnst have been
drinking to speak of the emperor In
such a way, he muttered to himself,
while his eyes were fixed on the man
in amazed inquiry: ''Is he drunk
The servant apparently thought the
whispered remark was confidential
request for information as to the
prospective visitors condition, for
after scratching his head in some per
plexity, he leaned closer to the crown
prince and whispered softly: Drunk?
Well, I think not; didn't notice any
thing"
