dence, but majority believe that if
efficiency is in evidence it is best to
stand pat. Horse stealing in Imperial
Valley is almost lost art owing to
the dread of having Sheriff Meadows
after the thieves.
Taciturnity is the one thing that
might be said against the big sheriff.
He very seldom talks, and when
man of that characteristic is found
it generally means that actions speak
louder than words. Sheriff Meadows
is an expert horseman and rifle shot,
not to mention revolvers. He has had
very few occasions to demonstrate his
ability in the latter line, but when
the necessity arises the sheriff comes
out unscathed and the opponent sur
renders.

will bring to the Imperial Valley the
reputation for it's fancy product. The
slovenly grower must change his hab-
it's and use his brains more in order
to keep up with the procession.
A. Clean picking of the well-grown
crop will give high grade, which al
ways sells most promptly and brings
the best returns. The growers should
manage this matter for themselves. In
many cases the pickers not only fix
the price, but also take dollars out
Of the growers pocket by careless
and dirty picking.
5. Proper ginning to preserve the
fiber uncut and smooth. This appeals
to the spinner, who will be the court
of final appeal for the long-staple cot
ton from the Imperial Valley. The
ginners will have to do their part
to preserve the high quality of the
fiber, and this is made readily posi-
BILE by their attending to proper de-
tails ir the mechanical handling of the
cotton.
To bring about these best operations
in the cotton industry, and to make
them habitual, there must be an agen-
cy in the Imperial Valley which stands
for all these best things and which
formulates and extends sentiment
along these lines. Individuals may
practice them; some individuals al
ready do; but for the Valley as a
whole an organized agency alone can
accomplish what should be done to

dustry. Cotton has come to stay for
some time in the Imperial Valley.
The best kind of cotton should be
grown, and that the kind Of cotton
which will bring the best returns
to the growers and which will make
the best reputation for the Imperial
Valley. Durango cotton is making
strong bid for this place.
Durango cotton yields as much
lint FER acre as does short-staple. It
has to produce more seed cotton per
acre to do this, and it does. Ginning
reports of the past season show that
there were approximately $500 bales
of Durango cotton ginned from as
many acres. This indicates clearly
the yield possibilities of Durango cot
ton. In 1911 the Imperial Valley
produced the largest average yield
of short-staple cotton in the United
States-390 pounds per acre.
1t is true that there is somewhat
Imperial Valley press., 1914-05-27

place the long-staple cotton industry
on the high plane it should occupy.
In the application of these best prac-
tees the Imperial Valley can command
place for itself in the long-stapla
cotton world. Unless these practices
are applied this advantage cannot be
had. Spinners are looking for sta
BILE supply of even-running, strong
cotton, such as the Durango, and al
soon as the Imperial Valley establishes
the fact in the spinners' minds that
here they can get what they are look
ing for, great reputation will be
won for the local industry.
The practices promulgated by or
ganization management will most
quickly accomplish the desired end.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture stands ready, to assist in these
matters at all times, but is concerned
that its efforts to promote the best
practices las outlined above) be ex-
pended through such channels as will
occasion the establishment and perpe-
tuation of the pactices to the advan-
tage of the community as a whole. To
I this end it is urged that the growers Of
long-staple Durango cotton form for
themselves an organization which has
as it's object the extension of know
ledge in the Imperial Valley relative
to all the best things in cotton grow
ing and marketing. Through such an
agency the Department can be of
greatest benefit to the Imperial Valley
long-Staple cotton industry.

Sheriff Mobley Meadows
Will Run for Reelection

Sheriff Mobley Meadows makes of
fetal announcement in today's issue
of his candidacy for reelection, stat
ing that it was somewhat premature,
but on account of several rumors hav-
ing been floated to the effect that
he would not again be candidate,
he concluded it due his friends to
make the announcement at this time.
Sheriff Mobley Meadows was first
elected in August, 1907, serving three
and one-half years at that time, the
statute being later changed to read
four years. He was reelected by a
large majority and his many friends
in the county predict that he will
have no trouble in winning out again.
Sheriff Meadows is one of the most
widely known and popular men in the
county, having been extremely eff
cient in handling the onerous duties
of the office and has a long record
in running down criminals. He does
not delegate the heavy work to a
deputy, but when hundred-mile ride
after some horse thief or bank rob
ber IS necessary the sheriff oils up
his big Case and starts after the fu-
gitive, and always brings his man
back.
Sheriff Meadows selected a corps
of capable deputies and is aided great
ly in this respect. Undersheriff Hila
W. Anderson has had extended ex-
perience in office work and ranks
high in efficiency both in inside work
and in trailing wrongdoers.
Deputy Sheriff E. E. Cummings is
an expert turnkey and has proved
to be one of the best city marshals
in the history of Ell Centre.

server, as he keeps his eyes wide
open when serving papers and fire.

The Imperial Valley will pro duce
between 10000 and $4,000 bales of
Durango long-staple cotton in the
present cotton season. At a.. con-
servative estimate the income from
this crop to the Valley will be $780,
000-more than double the income
from Durango cotton during the sea-
son of 1913. The Durango cotton
industry deserves the attention and
thought of those interested in the
welfare of the Valley. At the rate
the industry is growing, it promises
to bring $2,000,O00 to $3,0OO,OOO into
the Imperial Valley within OR 3
years. 1t is therefore time that not
only the growers of cotton, but bank
ers and merchants, consider the facts
about this long-staple cotton and do
what they can to foster the new in

POOLING THE STOMACH

Uncle Joe Cannon charges that most people these days tell lies to their stomach.
 Uncle Joe is something of a philosopher and has lived long enough to be on familiar terms with his stomach.
 In New York last week he gathered about him his usual friends of the press and told the boys something they did not know.
 We are all lying to our stom achs' declared the former czat of the House of Representatives; we are telling our stomachs that they are well filled when we know. they are not. In the long run there is no good in that. Sooner or later our stomachs will know they are being fooled and will rebel. against the. deception.
 Then, puffing away at the It. gulation cigar and looking wisely at his audience, the ex.speaker asked: Do you New York peo- pie feel comfortable and satisfied or are.you uneasy? My impress ion is that you are uneasy. Same thing in Chicago. Same thinp everywhere. Farmers in Illinois are getting good price, but on what? Two hundred dolIars-an acre farms running on half crops.
 Uncle Joe Cannon should know better than to lie to his stomach. He has reached an age of discre- tion. If it is not properly filled he should be more attentive.
 The venerable eX-speaker is now in Bermuda. He has gone to his delightful spot for rest and recreation. While he did not say so, it is more than probable that he will get on better terms with his stomach.
 His bit of wisdom in regard to the crops is timely. How many farms are producing what they should produce? How m any farmers are raising but half crosp? Most make money, but how much more they could make if they only realized the possi- bilites of their farms.
 Joe Cannon has watched the
