One of the very big problems that
is facing the valley is getting men
70 do the work that is crowding ahead.
The most immediate pressure is for
work on the Volcano Lake canal lead
ing to the West Side, and to secure
these men the Irrigation District and
the Lower California Gotten Growers
Association are cooperating. The for
mer is to give $4,000 and the latter
$4,000 toward fund to bring more
than a thousand workers from Los
Angeles. In a smaller way men are
being brought from the coast cities
to work on the ranches and other en-
terprises which are in need Of help.
Following this is the great need con-
fronting the valley, especially in the
matter of the care of the cotton fields
and the picking that will begin IN

length the machine is especially eff
ficient. The lister plow can be re-
placed by small sweep to kill weeds
and remove the cry mulch ahead Of
the drill so that in every way the i'm

One of the replanters should be in

a replanter in his equipment. The i'm
plement is not confined to the makes
listed above and We do not undertake
to specify the advantage Of one make
over another. Such superiority as
may exist in any one of the different
makes of replanter should be looked
for in the ease of working the leverage

ADVICE TO THE
COTTON REPLANTER

Contributed by Argyle McLachlan of
the Imperial Valley Long Staple
Cotton Growers Association.)
Replanting of cotton to make per-
feet stand should be continued until
the 10th or middle of June. EXten-
sion of the acreage, novices in irriga
ton cotton growing, early paintings,
planting too deep, etc, are factors
which make for skippy stands of cot
ton in the Imperial Valley. Poor stands
this season are probably no more fre-
Cuent than in past seasons. But no
IS or so per cent stand should be left
so. 1t means that the grower goes
into the season with clear prospects
cf getting not more than Is or 80
per cent of a maximum yield. Re
J lantng should be done promptly while
the growing plants are still young
and while the skiDs in the rows can
be readily seen. Later on a IS per
cent stand looks like good stand. 1t
is not good business to fool ourselves
at anv stage Of the game. Imperial
Valley should start the season with
complete stand on every acre planted
to cotton, even if replanting is not
finished before the middle Of June.
The earlier replant.ng is done the
better for the crop.
Unavoidable acclednts in our opera'
tions will continue to make replantlng
a regular part OF our annual planting
program. Progressive growers will
make their schedule preparation, plant
ing, replanting, etc, and the sooner
we recognize this and incorporate re-
planting into our plans the better will
be the yields OF cotton.

ley put out machine, combination

pose of progress in our cotton indus

vest there will, be such mingling OF
races as has not been known here, for
in addition to others which have
heen known here in the past, there
will be numerous Filipinos, some OF
whom are already at work here.
Governor Cantu will bring in many
Mexicans for work in the Mexican
fields, and there viii undoubtedly be
many more negroes from the cotton
states of the South.

Chicago, May 19.-The outlook for

to keep affairs moving until conven-

Oyster Bay to Detroit on request of
prominent Republicans who do not
fancy Fords peace-at-a t-any-price prop
uganda.
The members Of the executive COM
mittee of the Republican national
committee will have a comparatively
easy time when they meet to consider
contests over seats in the Republican
national convention. James B. Rey-
nolds, secretary of the committee said
today. He declared his information
indicated that there would be contests
over only A seats. These are: Flor
ida, 1; Georgia, II; Louisiana, u; Mis-
sissippi, 2; Missouri, 2; Oklahoma, a.;
South Carolina. 3; Virginia, 1; District

Coast Wins in Naval Bill.

Los Angeles, May 19.-Advocates
of preparedness were elated today
when telegraphic advices from Wash
ington announced that Congressman
William D. Stephens of Los Angeles
lad virtually won his fight before the
House naval committee to have eight
submarines and four destroyers built
on the Pacific coast.
Congressman Stephens was sue
cessful in his efforts to have a pro-
vision calling for the construction of
the submarines and destroyers on the
Pacific coast in the naval bill.
Naval experts say that the addi-
tion of eight submarines and four de-
stroyers to the Pacific fleet will aid
materially in defending this coast.
The submarines have been asked for
repeatedly, the European war having
demonstrated their effectiveness both
as engines of defense and offense.
While Congressman Stephens gained
y splendid victory for California and
other coast states today, he met with
defeat in his efforts to have the pro-
gram recommended by the general
board adopted now. This program
calls for the building up Of the Amer
lean navy which would place it sec
ond in strength to the navies Of the
world.
