FORTUNES MADE IN COTTON
Imperial Valley of California, Desert
Fifteen Years Ago, Is Now Great
Field of White.

In the Imperial valley of California
they are making fortunes raising cot
ton this year-sudden dramatic for
tunes. Everything about the Imperial
valley seems to have the dramatic
quality; it's story would make a good
moving picture. In 1900 it was a bis
tering desert where a buzzard could
ment harnessed the Colorado river and
the desert was veined with irrigating
canals, and plowed and planted, and
for the first time since the primOrdi0l
floods subsidized, a tint Of green and
growing things spread over the val
ley.
Cotton arrived In 1906. 1t came in
the shape of a box of seed under the
seat of farm wagon driven by q
Texas homesteader. He asked why
they didn't raise cotton whereabouts,
and they said because it wouldn't grow.
And so, being from Texas, which is
something like Missouri, he planted his
little store of cOttOnSeed, and 1t came
up and opened its snowy hollis to the
wonderment of all behOlders. Further
more, the next year it came up and
bore again without another planting.
The Texans little cotton field spread
like a drop Of butter on a hot pan. It
clothed the barrenness Of the desert in
it's fleece. And it brought to the men
who owned the land more hard iron
dollars than ever they had seen be-
fore. There are $4,000 acres Of cotton
in the Imperial valley this year and
there are going to be many more next
year. And even better than the cot
ton crop is the human crop, which this
desert has borne; for it is peOpled by
men who own their own farms and
are prosperous.

Explains Home Guard.

To acquaint the people with the de-
tails Of the organization of the new
state Guard, the state council OF de-
Tense gave out the following statement
by Adjutant General HOlway:
1.-THE statute law of Wisconsin au-
thorizes the governor in his discretion
to organize, arm and equip state
Guard equal in size to that which
may have been called into federal SER
vice at any time by the United States
government.
"Under this provision, the governor
has directed the organization Of 80
companies, assigned in three regi-
ments. About One-half of these COM
panies are already organized and the
state, fortunately, has on hand, with
which to arm them, about 1900 of the
old model Springfield rifles. These are
not modern in the sense of the maya
zine guns Of today, but very well serve
the purposes of state or home
guard"

To Probe Lake Conditions.

@. M. Larson, chief engineer Of the
railroad commission, vii make an in
vestigation to determine causes of the
high water in Lake KegOnsa.
The commission has already re-
ceived report on conditions and
found that much, if not all, of the
trouble is due to the lack of dredging
in the river connecting the lakes, and
to the unusually wet spring.
The river is choked with weeds and
mud. AS q result much of the low
land adjoining all the lakes is under
water.
In Madison, Birmingham park has
been the chief sufferer.
City Engineer Parker announced
that the locks on Lake Mendoza will
be closed for a short period to relieve
the situation.
Mr.. Larson has suggested that a
general drainage district be incorpo-
rated to handle the situation.
Hearing on the petition of S. r.
Chase and others for an order estab-
fishing levels on Lake Wingra has been
postponed.

BADGER STATE NEWS
MosT IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS
OF THE PAST WEEK TOLD
IN A FEW LiNEa
BUILD IMPROVED AIRSHIP
Craft Claimed Valuable for War serv-
ice, Being Able to Stand Per-
fectIy Still In One Position
at Any Height.

Green Bay A flying machine has
Just been built according to the speci-
fcations of the United States govern
ment by the Lawson Aircraft company
of Green Bay, which will fly in man
ner that up to the present time was
considered impossible for a heavier
than air machine to accomplish. The
new Lawson machine is constructed In
such a way that it can stand perfect
ly still In one position while flying at
any altitude. For this reason it be-
comes one of the most valuable aero
planes ever built for use in warfare.
A great many reasons are offered for
this, but the principal ones are that
the machine can hover directly over
the enemy's artillery and obtain the
exact location Of guns to dead GER
tainty.

COOPERATIVE Plan Spreads.

Cooperative companies in WiscOn-
sin are on the increase. The largest
advance along this line has been made
In the dairy industry, where the num-
Der of cooperative cheese factories
has now reached 718 and cerameries
$50. Other classes of cooperative
companies in Wisconsin are telephone
companies, 437; insurance, 214; live
stock shipping, $50; produce shipping
So; stores, 81; fruit exchanges, q;
packing plants, 4, and laundries, 2.
Several Factors in Success.
sits success depends upon several
factors" said B. Ell. Hibbard of the
University OF Wisconsin. ga suffi-
Gent amount of business is essential.
The co-operators should live near
enough together to have community
interest and a personal acquaintance.
The business transacted should be
simple I'm nature, free from any great
degree Of speculation and of vital i'm
portance or convenience to the CO.
operators.
"The membership of the company
should consist of active farmers; at
least they should be in control. Out
siders, if admitted, as they sometimes
are to furnish capital, should not be
allowed to influence the business pol
icy toward large dividends on the in
vestment. The One-man-One-vote prin-
ciple will keep the organization demo
cratic. Mischief-makers and drones
should be kept out, but in no wise
should a cooperative society become
a 'closed-shop.' A trust among farm
ers is as undesirable as among other
people"
Warns Against Promoters.
Professor Hubbard warns that the
worst phase of cooperation to develop
in America is the promotion of COM
panies by men who are interested in
them only to the extent of getting easy
money out of commissions for selling
stock.

Publish Exempts' Names.

Following receipt of orders from
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
Gov. E. L. Phillip notified all exemp-
ton boards In the state to give to the
newspapers names Of men who ask ex-
emption and their reasons. General
Crowder's telegram said in part: "The
people are entitled to know the
grounds upon which claims for ex-
emption or discharge are being asked
by registered men. Local boards
should therefore be instructed imme-
diately to make available to the press
from day to day the names of persons
claiming exemption or discharge, the
ground on which such claims are based
and In general the number of cases
that are being disposed of by the
boards from day to day. This instruc-
ton does not apply, of course, to dis
charges on the ground of physical dis
qualification"

SOLD SHOTGUN
FOR TEN DOLLARS
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $4,000.

Lawrence Bros. Of Vera, Saskatche-
wan, are looked upon as being amongst
the most progressive farmers in West
ern Canada. They have had their
'ups-and-dOwns," and know what it
is to be in tight pinches. They perse-
vered, and are now in an excellent
financial position. Their story is an
interesting one. Coming in from the
states they travelled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river, the
Red Deer river, through the Eagle
Hills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen, but this
did not dishearteu them. They had
some money, with which they bought
more horses, and some provisions.
When they reached Battleford they
had only money enough to pay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river,
and this they had to borrow. It was
in 1905 that they filed on homesteads,
having to sell a shotgun for ten dol
lars in order to get sufficient money to
do so. Frank Lawrence says:
"Since that time we have acquired
altogether a section and a half Of
land, in addition to renting another
three quarters of a section. If we
had to sell out now we could probably
realize about $4,000, and have made
all this since we came here. We get
crops in this district Of from 80 to
80 bushels of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre.
Stock here pays well. We have LOO
sheep, 20 cattle and 60 horses, of which
q number are registered Clydes."
Similar successes might be given Of
the experiences Of hundreds Of farm.
ers throughout Western Canada, who
have done comparatively as well. Why
should they not dress well, live well,
have comfortable homes, with all mod
ern equipments, electric light, steam
heat, pure ventilation, and automo-
biles. Speaking of automobiles 1t will
be a revelation to the reader to learn
that during the first half of 1917, 49,
600 automobile licenses were issued in
Alberta, twice as many as in the whole
of 1916. In Saskatchewan, 21 900 IL
censes were issued up to the first Of
May, 1917. In it's monthly bulletin for
June the Canadian Bank of Commerce
makes special reference to this phase
and to the general prosperity Of the
West in the following:
Generally speaking the western
farmer is, in many respects, in much
better position than hitherto to in
crease his production. Two years Of
high prices for his products have en-
abled him, even with a normal crop,
to liquidate a substantial proportion
of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy improved farm machinery. His
prosperity is reflected in the demand
for building materials motor cars
and other equipment. 1t is no doubt
true that some extravaganza is evil
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars, but it must be remembered
that many of these cars will make for
efficiency ON the farm and economic
both time and labor."-Advertise

TranspIanting Plants.

When transplanting plants, shrubs,
trees, flowers and so on, dig hole
much deeper than needed; fill this
hole with water, allowing it to sink
away three times, reflling it each
time. The fourth time it sinks away
you will have enough moisture at the
root of your plant to last many days.
1t does for it what no amount of sur
face WRITINGS could ever do. So fill
the hole up to the proper depth with
dry earth, set your plant in and draw
the dry dirt around it nicely.

Farmers Act in SiIo Campaign.


The silo building campaign wageG
by the college of agriculture and the
county councils of defense Is resulting
in a widespread movement to conserve
this years corn crop.
Wisconsin's present quota of 10000
silOs or one to every third farm, will
be greatly increased over the ratio of
any previous year. Agricultural agents
even hope for $4,000 silos before the
end of 1913.
In response to inquiries by K. L,
Hatch, director of the agricultural ex!
tension service and A. w. Hopkins,
secretary of the Livestock Breedersi
association, manufacturers have sent
assurances that prices will not be
greatly advanced over former years
and that there will be sufficient mate
rial to meet the demand.
Wisconsin bankers are repeating
their promises to loan money for silO
construction. The bankers stand is
backed by an appeal to farm patriot
ism and business sense by Magnus
SwensOn, chairman of the state coun-
Gil of defense.
Managers of creameries and cheese
factories are inclosing with their
monthly cream and milk checks in
serts in which the value of dairy de-
Tense and silo building is pointed out.

spection of the old state capitol build
ing at Belmont and is now making
plans for the restoration of the build
ing to it's original site. State En-
gineer J. D. Mack, one of the members
of the commission, said that the infOr-
nation regarding the exact location of
the building was not definite, and he
hoped that some of the old settlers
would furnish information to the COM
mission.
The governor appointed committee
composed of Senator Platt Whitman,
M. P. Rindlaub, Platteville, and State
Engineer J. D. Mack Madison, as mem
bers of the commission.
The old territorial capitol at Bel
mont was used in the fall of 1886 for
the meeting of the first territorial leg
islature. The principal issue before
that legislature was the location of
the permanent seat of government, and
Madison was finally selected through
the efforts of Judge DOty.
