SAYS DURANGO
IS BIG SUCCESS
U. S. Department OF AGRICUL-
EN- LOCAL CONDITIONS IDEAL
FOR ITS GROWTH.

In an interesting report OH Durango
cotton, the department of agriculture,
through O. F. Cook, declares this
variety of long staple cotton is we'll
suited to the irrigated lands along
the Colorado river. This has been
shown by numerous experimental and
field paintings supervised by experts
of the department. Durango cotton
is new type Of long staple upland
cotton, recently introduced from the
state of Durango, and acclimatized
The department says:
"Other long staple varieties have
given excellent results when the con-
ditions hoppened to be favorable,
but the Durango has shown a wider
range of adaptation and has produced
good crops in places where other long
staple cottons were comparative fail-
ures. The success of the new variety
has aroused popular interest, and is
stimulating the development of a
long staple cotton industry in South
ern California.

MORE LARGE
LAND SALES
ANNUAL CHAMBER OF CON-
MERGE AFFAIR is THE OCCAS-
ION FOR BOOSTING ACTIVITIES
OF VALLEY.

BLYTHE, Cal, Feb 27.-Deals
were closed for the sale of
5000 acres of PaIo Verde land dur
ing the past two weeks. This brings
the total of sales since January
by the Land & Water company up
to 5000 acres. ALI of this land car
ried water stock
The largest single transaction to
date was the sale of 1000 acres to G.
Gighere and associates of the Italian
Bank of Oakland last week. 1t is
understood that these men are in
terested in the Oakland cotton mill
and expect to put this entire acreage
to cotton
The term of the sale specified that
1000 acres of the land should be in
cotton by May of next year and that
the entire acreage should he planted
out within three years
The buyers are advertising for men
to do clearing work at the present
time and it is understood that they
will put part of the first thousand
acres under cultivation at once The
amount will depend entirely on the
number of workmen they can secure
This land includes parts of several
sections and is mostly north and east
of Blythe. All of it is unimproved
Julius Hauser, president of the
Hauser Packing company OF Los
Angeles, was in the valley and
bought 1000 acres of company land
last week. The Hauser Packing COM
pany is the largest concern of it's
kind in Southern California and it's
coming into the Palo Verde will give
a big impetus to the stock industry
here.
Mr. Hauser stated that he would
Immediately begin putting his land
il alfalfa and later would construct
extensive corrals for feeders. This
means a big market for alfalfa
Referring to the recent sales of
the Land & Water company, A. L.
HobsOn, the president, said:
Practically every sale during the
past sixty days has been closed with
the understanding that the land was
to be improved at once The com
pany has given little encouragement
to spectators as it wishes to get a
large acreage under water immediate
ly and thus hasten the coming of a
railroad"

c. of c. Banquet.

The business men and ranchers OF
the Palo Verde valley have joined
hands to make the present year the
greatest in the history of the valley
along every line of activity. This
was the spirit of the Chamber of
Commerce banquet held at Hotel
Blythe last Saturday might.
The banquet was attended by
seventy-five Palo Verde boosters and
after a feast that is rarely equaled
in this land of mesquite, a program
music and speaking was given
F. w. Seager entertained those
present with baritone solo while
Mrs. Seager accompanied him on the
piano. This number was a real treat.
G. j. Berg and Mrs. H. C. DOwnes
played a mandolin and piano duet
and Mr.. and Mrs. Randall Henderson
furnished mandolin and guitar music
for the occasion.
The speaking was for the most
part extempOraneOus but was mark
ed by enthusiasm regarding the work
of the Chamber of Commerce and
the outlook for the valley.
A L. HObSon congratulated the
Blythe organization on it's work and
declared that he had seldom known
a body of boosters more active in
promoting the growth Of COM
munity.
C. B. Reynolds, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, spoke briefly
ON the plans of the organization for
the coming year and commended the
work of the publicity committee
which is completing arrangements
for issuing a Palo Verde valley book
let and the placing of an exhibit
in Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce display room.
j. o. Phillips talked on the need of
cooperation in the valley. The work
of the Women's improvement Club
was the subject of an enthusiastic
talk by Mrs. Hanlon, president of
the women's organization.
J. B. Flanagan of Parker, who is
interested in the Palo Verde Valley
Herald, was present at the banquet
and told of the work of the Parker

''There is every reason to expect
that long staple cotton will become
lion farming in the southwest In
addition to very favorable natural
conditions and the absence of boil
weevils, the cotton growers of the ir
rigated districts are more ready to
avail themselves of the many ad-
yantages that are to be secured
through the organization of local cot
ton-growing associations for the pro-
dltction of a single superior type of

''The superiority of the Durango va
riety lies in the fact that it combines
the desirable cultural qualities of
short staple varieties with length and
strength of lint formerly obtained
only from the so-called peeler va

Sippi and Louisiana. All the ex-
periments indicate that the Durango
cotton is much better adapted to the
Imperial valley conditions than any
other long staple upland variety.
Delta Varieties Not Suited.
THE idea OF transferring the delta
varieties to the Imperial valley is i'm
practicable. Experiments have shown
that these varieties are not suited to

Never has Honolulu had more
beautiful open air festival than that
held Saturday night at the outrigger
Cub. The Venetian carnival was truly
q success, spelled with a capital let
ter. To Degin with, the night was
perfect. Al big asilyery moon shone out
of cloudless sky. with just such a
tropical zephyr as might be whisper
ing In sunny Italy on an October ey-
ening The setting of the carnival
was perfect. Thousands CT red lam
terms surrounded the miniature Ven
ice, casting their cleaning reflections
into the Silly black waters Of the la
COON. Gaily lighted gondolas drffted
back and forth In the canal streets"
indclently propelled by laughing gon-
doliers. Gaudy booths were filed with
deiectable wares of the kinds best
suited to tempt the appetite and the
pocketbcok OF man What more de-
licious than the candies homemade or
cold lemonade, unless 1t be the Ice
cream with truly cream and punch
whisper IL low-to warm the heart. A
graceful Italian stage backed by the
standard bearers Of royal Venice had
been erected across the lagoon. And
presently when all the other lights
had been dimmed, this was iliumin-
ated and played upon by huge
searchlight. Here the dances took
place, most Of which WERE 50 enthus-
iastically received as to make an en-
core necessary. Such graceful dane
es as they were. unique and well ex-.
ecuted,; Two-cf hem-considered by
some the two best On the program =
were conceived and drilled by two OF
the dancers themselves. To L
Young Carruthers is due the credit of
the Shepherds Dance, which was or
iginated and brought into shape by
himself. Nothing could have been
more graceful or more unusual than
tbs Arcadian dance The Pas a Trois
was devised and trained by Miss Nora
Swanzy, and, full Of quaint grace and
amusing suggestions as II was, JUS
tifiably brought down the house. The
Return of Spring WAS another delight
full little sketch, cilarmingly danced
by ten graceful nymphs, with Miss
Swauzy as premier danseuse. The
Country Dance and Pavanne were
again out of the ordinary, and splen-
didIy executed by the clever youths
and maidens who took part Great
credit is due Mrs. Mary Gum for the
skilful way in which she trained
these beautiful; dances. General dane
ing in the pavilion filled the remain
der of the evening.
That the entertainment was such
success was due to the efforts of
Mrs. F. M. Swanzy. Mrs. A. J. Camp
bell was responsible for the wonder
full scenic effect, the enormous amount
of work involved being more than
justified by the splendid results. Mr..
Charles Wilder. as part of the decor
alton committee under Mrs. Camp
bell, had charge CT the gondolas and
lagoon. Each Of the members of the
various committees worked hard and
tirelessiy and deserve untold credit
for their charming and original
booths, all of which went far toward
making the scene as romantic and
beautiful a one as has ever been
seen in Honolulu. -
