San Joaquin Valley Adapted
To Raising Egyptian Cotton

efforts to establish cotton culture be
centralized in communities is that
be extended by the different branches
be extended by tn edifferent branches
of the Department of Agriculture that
have been working in recent years in
cooperation with new communities.
The nature of the cotton industry is
such that many things can be done
by communities which are impracti-
cable for the farmer who attempts
to grow and market his crop individ-
ually.
Efforts to establish the cotton in
dustry in new districts have, of ne
cessity, to pass through an expert
mental period in order to determine
Imperial Valley press., 1917-03-16

Cotton was grown in California half
a century ago, but the early attempts
were made on a basis of direct COM
r,etition with the South, which could
not be maintained when normal con-
ditions had been re-established after
the Civil war. The present possibili-
ties of development of cotton culture
in California lie in the direction of
producing Egyptian or other special
types of long staple cotton. The de-
nand for cotton of the Egyptian type
is increasing rapidly and not likely
to be met by increased production in
Egypt, where the crop is endangered
by the invasion of new insect pest.
Experimental paintings in the re-
gion of Bakersfield indicate that the
Egyptian type of cotton can be
grown in the southern part of the San
Joaquin valley. No assurance can be
given that Egyptian cotton will ma
ture a crop outside of the Bakersfield
Fresno region. If paintings are to
be made in the northern part Of the
San Joaquin valley or in the Sacra-
mento valley, the Durango cotton or
other long staple upland varieties are
more likely to succeed, since they do
not require as long a season as the
Egyptian.
While cotton makes larger demands
for hand labor than many other crops
it's requirements for attention at par
ticuar times usually are not so acute,
which renders it well adapted for fit
ting in with other crops to form prac-
teal systems of diversified agricul-
ture. Labor is needed chifely at the
picking season, which comes in the fall
after the grapes and most of the
other fruit crops have been harvest
ed.
Although favorable natural condi-
tions may be found in many places,
il is not advisable to attempt to grow
cotton on a commercial scale except
in communities that can be organized
for this purpose, so as to have an
assured prospect of production on
such a scale as to warrant the estab
lishment, preferably under commun-
ity auspices, of the ginning establish
ments and oil mills that are part
of the necessary equipment of cot
ton producing community.
Farmers in California are advised
against undertaking the planting of
cotton on a merely individual basis,
not only because of the difficulties
of handling and marketing new crop
to advantage, but also in order to avoid,
as far as possible, the danger of at
tempts being made to bring in cot
ton seed from the cotton belt or from
Egypt. Such importations of cotton
seed are now forbidden by federal and
state regulations, the object being to
prevent the introduction of the boil
weevil from the cotton belt and the
pink bollworm from Egypt.

REGRETS DECLINE OF DRAMA
Writer in Atlantic Monthly Is Out
spoken in CONCERNING Taste of
the Modern Playgoer.

The drama? We never had much OF
it, properly speaking, so far as orig
inal work is concerned, but we did
have great actors, and during the lat
ter half of the nineteenth century our
people loved good plays. admirably
acted. Most of us can remember the
time when the great cities had many
thpaterS offering the nOblest work and
crowded to the doors. Now, In the last
ten years. all is changed. Good art
has wholly passed except when mas
ter from England or France comes
among us in his declining years TO
give those farewell performances"
that mark his withdrawal from active
life and the ending of a great era Of
dramatic art. The taste of the tired
business man Is now the standard and
the directing cause of whatever Is pro-
duced; and whenever his fancy rises
n degree above the silly and the hui
mOrOuSly salaciOuS II scars only into
the dubious realm of pathology plus
pOrnOgraphy. No catastrophe so COM
plete, no debacle so humiliating has
ever been recorded In any art in so
brief space of time.-FrOm the At

Most husbands are grateful to the

Triumphs in Tailored Hats.

After all is said and done, the
smart tailored hat holds the center
of the stage in the drama of millinery,
Just as the best tailored suits are
paramount in the world of apparel.
These are the two items that should
receive first consideration in every
wOman's mind whenever she turns her
attention to her wardrobe. 1t is bet
ter to econOmiZe in dressy clothes
than in those intended for street wear,
and in the latter, style and good work
manship are essentials, which women
should be willing to pay for.
Whether we like 1t or not, we must
reconcile ourselves to some advance
in prices for both tailored suits and
hats. 1t is impossible to produce them
as cheaply as in former years, yet
millinery has advanced less in price
than almost any other article that
women wear.
Three handsome tailored hats are
shown above. The model at the left
IS of black straw braid with bell crown
md narrow mushroom brim. 1t has
a strictly tailored trim of white grOs-
grain ribbon and is hat that is be-
coming to almost every face. The hat
Mt the center of the group is an adap-
tation of the "coolie" hat from China
and is intended for youthful wearers.
On a black straw or satin turban the

of narrow ribbons-is posed al jaun-
ty angle. The finish Is as 1t should be.
