on the 1913 cotton crop announced to-
day by. the census bureau. place Il N
the largest the United States has ever
grown. with the exception of that of
1911. At the same time the estimate of
the total value OF the crop shows 1t

An interesting feature Of the 1913 pro-
duction was the crop OF the Imperial
valley in southern California, where 2S.-
1888 bales were grown. It has been re-
ported the acreage planted this year in
the Imperial valley will show q large
increase while the production is vari-
ously estimated at from fifty thousand

in progress only few years.
Another feature was the production in
Arizona. where 2,290 bales were ginned,
