A large crowd that taxed the ca
pacity of the new auditorium of the
First Baptist church gathered to hear
Rev. J. F. Watson, d. d., of Los An
,geles, who is here helping the Rev.
Walter S. Reed in a series of special
meetings. He preached a powerful
sermon to Christian people and many
came forward as pledge to higher
and nobler Christian experience. These
meetings will continue throughout the
week and a successful campaign is
assured. Some of the features were
solos by Mrs. W. B. Estees and Au-
brey Moody. Herbert G. Thomas,
leader of the First Baptist choir, con-

REPORTS PROGRESS
ON DIRECTORY WORK

The work of gathering the materisaa
for the new issue of the directory of
the ranchers and the city folks Of
the Valley is going merrily on. 1t is
a work of innumerable details and
takes from three to four months to
complete it, during which time ten
or more persons are given employ
ment.
The directory, on completion, will
tell the visitors to the Valley where
they may expect to locate their
friends and acquaintances.
The business men in the several
cities of the Valley are showing a
greater interest in the new issue thar
in any of the previous volumes, fol
through past experiences they have
learned the worth of it, they being
enabled to locate what they term

STATEMENT VOTERS

There are many who believe that
the election of John S. Loofbourow
to the office of assessor and collec-
tor of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict, will assure economy and salts
faction in the affairs of that office
and will be just reward for the con-
scientious work he has done for the
past three years. In the following
signed statement Mr.. Loofbourow
asks the support of the voters at the
election, Wednesday, February Z:
"I have been deputy in the Of
flee of the assessor and collector for
the past three years and am thor
oughlx-~cqdainted with all the details
Of the office. AS chief deputy for
the past two years have had charge
of the collections and country prop
erty valuations and know this work

lector's books two years ago, at the
time Mr.. Clark Booher took office fol

less clerical help and expense than
an inexperienced man.

Leaders In Fast Battle

After Thompson had struck out the
first two men up, bobble at first
started things and the next three men
raped out clean singles. &c" Young
was hurried to the rescue and the
Southern Sluggers were stopped, Nc
Mullen failing to solve "Cy's" curves.
Seeley came to bat with almost a
hopeless look, but Dean had gone his
limit and passed the first man up.
The next batter landed on first safe
when his hit was relayed to second
in an Intellectual attempt to head off
Roe. Here Thompson won his own
game by lacing out a hot one, scoring
two. Dean passed another and retired
in favor Of McMullen after Rivers hit
safely Webb, first up to face Nc
Mullen, drew pass, forcing in Ra-

when, taking advantage of hit bats

MELON PLANTING IS LATER {
THIS YEAR OWING TO COLD

Cantaloupe planting in Imperial
Valley is progressing late in January.
Cold weather has delayed planting
somewhat, for the seed often rots
when planted in cold ground. Wide
rounded ridges about eight feet from
center to center have been made in
most cases with narrow burrows be-
tween. The seed is planted halfway
up one side of each of these. This
puts the roots close to irrigation, but
keeps the plants out Of it largely,
and spreads them out to sun and air.
Alfalfa ground is selected wher-
ever possible, according to M. Manoo-
gian, who had charge of 100 acres
of cantaloupes last season for one
company. 1t is first plowed three
or four inches deep, then about a
month later is plowed seven or eight
inches deep. The hard finely divided
"gumbo" soil may produce larger
crops if properly worked, but the soft
land in which there is more or less
sand is more loamy and warm, and
produces the earliest cantaloupes. Can
taloupes do not thrive in alkali.
Several varieties are grown. Early
Waters is usually planted first, but
would mature first if planted at the
same time as the others. On account
of its egg shape, it is not popular
on the market and not so many are
now grown as formerly. The Rock

flesh all mature about the same time
and are the standard varieties here
On the early paintings, some Of
which are put in late in December
and early in January, a pointed caI
of oiled paper is placed over each hill
as it is planted by hand to hold tn
warmth Of the ground and protect tn
Seeding plants from frost. Late
paintings are done by machine ant
not covered with the papers.
The cantaloupes are irrigated &C
cordinR to soil conditions. The groun'
must not be dried very deep. In no
weather it dries enough to walk OF
in a day. Water is not allowed t
cover the seeds or get around tn
plant stems. During picking especi

CANTUS HIGH TAXATION

Cantu will concede in response to the
representations which the State De-
partment will probably make. Action
by the State Department, in the form
of instructions to Consul Simpich,
from Secretary Lansing, are expect
ed within few days, and it is known
that the action will be expedited as
far as lies in the power of all who
are interested.
Said one of the bankers of Calexico,
speaking for all three of the banks,
last night:
GAS is we'll known, negotiations are
about to be opened between the Wash
ington government and Colonel Cantu,
looking to a reduction of the export
duty on seed cotton and the correc-
ton of other excessive forms of tax
alton.
"It is hoped that some mutually
satisfactory agreement can be reached
within the next two or three weeks
that will make it possible for the
planters to grow large acreage in
1917.
"In the meantime, however, after a
careful study of the tax situation in
all it's phases, the local banks have
decided that, pending the outcome of
the State Departments representa-
tions, no more loans. will be made in

Three or four civilizations are all
that can be given on account of vine

There has been a conflict of inter-
est in regard to the proper maturity
for picking, but it is quite likely that
the rule established last season by
most of the companies in connection
with County Horticultural Commits
sioner F. w. Waite will be adhered to-
The netting on the melons should be
rounded, even up to the stem end
and the melon should pull loose with

on the melon. This system worked

After watching the cotton situation

States and Lower California for sew.
eral weeks, during all of which time
they have hoped for an amicable ad-
justment of the difficulties faced by
growers on the Mexican side of the
line in territory tributary to Calex-
leo, the bankers Of the city yesterday
reached the conclusion, upon which
they are all agreed, that so long as
the present conditions prevail, it
would be unwise and contrary to the
principles of conservative banking to
make any loans to growers of cotton
across the line. The announcement
of the decision was made public last
night.
The vexatious and oppressive taxa
tion by the government of Lower Cal
ifornia has gradually but steadily in
creased the cost of cotton growing,
to the Mexican growers until, consid-
ering the future markets, it is con-
sidered hardly worth while to plant a
crop at this time-unless Governor
Cantu will consent to reduce the ex-
port duties to a reasonable figure.
Realizing that unless the duties are
reduced, any loan made to the grow
ers in Mexico could only be based on
deprecated or doubtful securities, the
local banks have decided to wait for
a few days before making any further

believe that the turning point in the

From 0 to 60 per cent of the news
pages and editorial columns Of Eng

devoted to the American situation.
The American strength is being

that American volunteer motor boats
would be an effective weapon against
