ALMOST a BALE OF COTTON TO
THE ACRE THE YEARS AVERAGE
Immense Gain in Production Per Acre
Hhas Been Made by the Growers
During the Last Season, Beating the
World

II is now claimed that with a colton
acreage Of 5000 in the valley during the
last year there will he 1000 bales. This
beats the average Of any previous year
here and smashes the records Of the
world.
The average Of Texas is a third Of
a bale to The acre, and heretofore the
average in this valley has been about a
half a bale. This was in spite of the
fact that there Were growers who made
nearly or quite two bales. But there
have always been enough who were
not successful with the crop to pull
down the average. This year the in
dustry has been more in the hands OF
experienced growers. with the result of
a great Improvement in quantity per
acre.
In this connection the fact should be
noted that the buyers are pleased Will
the fact that there will be no vOlun-
teered cotton the coming season. Clar-
ence Gage said This morning that this
would be a distinct e7r- for the valley.

much higher He declared thai the
volunteering Of cotton leads to neglect

appropriation Of $4,000 for the put pose
and the Press did not favor that
scheme. But at a meeting of citizens
in conjunction with the directors the
editor of the Press presented a reSo-
luton which was unanimously adopt
ed. to the effect that the directors be
authorized to use such part of $4,000
as should be necessary to cooperate
with the movement for securing the
appropriation from congress. That is
the form in which the voters will pass
on the proposal, and in that form the
Press favors it.
The polls will be open from in the
morning until in the afternoon, it be
ing desirable that these short hours
should be known, lest large number
of voters go to the polls too late.
Voting will be at the following places
in the valley:
Brawley. Old Beach and Westmor-

Magnolia-Alamorio creamery.
Imperial inside and outside. New Riv-

The annual election of officers and
directors of Imperial irrigation district
will be held tomorrow. This fact has
not aroused the keen interest than

the vote will not be so heavy as it
should be. The fact may not be IN
derStood that every qualified elector at
a general election is voter for the
district election. whether or not he is
owner of property in the valley. and
this of course implies that the women
can vote with the men.
The Press has heretofore discussed
The situation as regards the candidates
for office. there being three directors
to be elected. one each from the Cal
exico. Holtville ard Imperial districts,
the Brawley and Ell Centre directors
holding over.
There will be one person selected as
assessor and tax collector and another
for treasurer of the district. There
are three candidates for the combined
office. two for the aSSeSSOrShip and two
for each place on the board of direct
