of numerous connections with cotton
brokers and buyers and the Durango
is becoming better known. 1t enters
the trade in New Orleans and Nicks-
burg ON a recognized equality with
cotton Of similar staple from the we'll
known Mississippi long-staplc re
gions and the application of nten-
sivc practices in the culture of Du-
rango cotton will eventually result in
its commanding a premium for its
uniformity Of length and Whjteness.
These statements have been made by
cotton men who have become ac-
quainted with Durango cotton ON thc
market in the past three seasons. The
rapiditY of its Introduction to the
trade has been most encouraging.
Reliable figures on the total prodd,-
ton OF cotton of this class in the
United States are difficult TO secure.
1t would be more difficult TO deter
mine the quantity used in the mills
of the world, but it is safe to say that
many thousand bales of Durango col
ton, white, with uniform 1 3-1G to -
fiber Of good body and strength will
find ready markel annually.
Imperial Valley press., 1915-12-18
Demand for Durango Cotton.

That growers in some cases have
not received sufficient net returns
from their Durango cotton has been
due partly to their incurring unneces-
sary expense for picking and partly
to their impatience at the slow move
mcnt of the cotton, for which outlets
have had to be established. As with
a new brand Of a staple manufactured
article of high quality, so with staple
cotton from new district-much
courting of the trade must be done
before confidence is established for
newly-introduced article. The intro
duction of the Imperial Valley short
staple cotton to eastern markets re-
quired a campaign to create confidence
in the cotton, though conducted under
the auspices of cotton buyers with
eastern and southern trade connec-
tions.
The establishment of outlets for
staple cotton by the growers organi-
alton was necessarily slow process.
The returns from cotton offered for
sale through the organization were
slow, though eventually good outlets
were secured and good prices for the
cotton were received Some growers
could not wait, however, but sold to
local buyers for cash for less than
could have been had from later sale
the organization. The blame
was laid on cotton rather than on the
growers failure to have patience and
take a prospective view Of the Du-
range industry That there was poor
sale for Durango and that returns
we're too slow, were complaints that
were not entirely quieted by the sue
cossful marketing of several thou
sand bales of Durango cotton by the
cotton growers exchange in 1913.
Their marketing campaign, how
ever, has resulted in the formation
