most fortunate that the 1918 deal
made money for all hands.
"The big change in the system, how
ever, is in the method Of leasing. In
place of the Japanese grower renting
his land from the land owner, the
latter now deals only with the re-
sponsible distributor, who takes the
entire lease. The grower sublets from
the distributor, in blocks of 20, 40 and
80 acres. If he canont agree with
the distributor he goes elsewhere and
another grower is offered the land.
Regardless of what others may have
to think or say, each distributor re-
mains in full control of his own acre
age.
"The distributor is to get a fixed
commission, with the provision that if
the net return passes certain point
he will receive a voluntary bonus
from the grower. 1t is this bonus
which becomes the additional ince- i've
for the distributor to put out the best
pack possible and get the best prices
going.
"The latest reports indicate that
practically 5000 acres have already
Ibeen taken over under this program
These reports show that not only
: will the total acreage be heavily cut
, down the coming season, but alst
that any attempt to increase the acre
age will be opposed by the rank ant
file of the growers through their owl
organization. In this way, the Jap
anese Farmers Association, in plac'
of becoming a constant irritant to tn,
distributors who are financing tn
deal, is cooperating to put the indus
try on permanent basis.
, Rentals have in the main increased
q, from $50 and $25 per acre to $50 ant
$35 and in few special localities fol
selected land as high as $40 will bt
paid. The new system, however, will
stabilize rentals so that the averags
will be closer to $25 an acre. TIL,
! outlook for water is more favorable
There is but one problem-the pos
sibility that the federal government
will bring pressure to even further re-
duce the acreage so as to secure 8
, greater acreage in milo maize, cottor
and wheat. This is the one topic just
now which is making land owners, dis.
tributers and growers uncertain as tc
the 1919 acreage. Practically all Of
the desirable acreage will have beer
signed up by August 30 and practical.
ly all of the groups of Japanese grow.
ers will have made their 1919 con.
tracts by that date"

New York Cot ton.

New York, Sept. 12.-Active selling
by commission houses, with demand
scattered, led to a weaker opening OF
the New York cotton market, when
prices showed losses of 20@47 points.
Some of the selling was based on an
unconfirmed report that the Nation
al Ginners' Association had estimat-
ed the condition of the crop in mid
month at 81, against 81 two weeks
ago. and 557 by the government as
of August 25.
Liverpool was a seller at the out
set, but New Orleans houses bought
and with covering ahead of the hoh-
day tomorrow eventulyy rallied the
market, prices at the end of the first
fifteen minutes being steady at a
net decline of about 30 points.
The early break carried nrices 500
70 points net lower, with October

ULTIMATUM FROM PRESIDENT
(By Associated Press)


Washington, Sept. 13.--The presi.
dent today notified the striking ma.
chinists of Bridgeport, Conn, that
unless they return to work and abide
by the decision of the War Labor
Board they will be barred by en-
ployment for year and draft boards
will be instructed to reject their
claims for exemption from military
service passed upon their alleged use
fulness in war production. He sent
letter addressed to the machinists
in reply to resolutions forwarded to
the president announcing that the
strikers were dissatisfied with the
award and with the later interpreta-
tion of the umpire.
The War Department as assumed
control Of the Smith & Wesson plant
at Springfield, Mass, to secure con-
tinuous production and to prevent in
dustrial disturbance, The company
recently expressed preference to
have the government operate its plant
rather than abide by the War Labor
Board decision enforcing collective
bargaining.

selling to 34.40, or l10 points below
the high level of yesterday. There
seemed to be little pressure from the
South, however, and it was reported
around the ring that some hedges sold
in anticipation of spots last night
were being covered on the decline.
These bullish spot advances helped
to check he decline, and the market
turned firmer toward the end of the
first hour on Liverpool buying and
covering by shorts. The latter was
more active after the publication of
the weekly report of the Weather
Bureau, with October sellino up to
BAIT, or 81 points from the low

NEW YORK PAPER
SURVEYS VALLEY
MEL0NS|TUAT|ON

In recent number of the New
York Produce News the new plan of
handling the cantaloupe situation IN
Imperial Valley is featured and COM
mented on in highly complimentary
terms. The article covers almost the
entire front page of the paper and
is written from the viewpoint of the
Brawley and Heber sections.
Excerpts from the article, which
will be of interest to the ranchers,
follow:
at looks as though the 1918 cam
taloupe deal will go down in history
as the biggest money marker on rec
ord. 1t would be wild guess at this
moment to estimate the amount of
actual cash coming to the growers. A
conservative way to put it, is to say
that scores of men who have never
been out of debt for half dozen years
now have a handsome surplus. What
the distributors made is easy to show,
since each one who signed the agree
ment with the Japanese Farmers AS
sociation is now filing his statement
showing all transactions with each
grower covering each car and each
"The Imperial Valley deal is under
going a revolution. There will be no
marketing organization operated by
the Japanese growers. Such move
has now been put out of the range of
humn probabilities. On the other
hand, the distributors have finally
awakened to the fact that they have
wonderful business proposition
provided it is handled along stable
business lines.
"The new deal is along entirely new
lines. The big Six" have apparent
ly seen the handwriting on the wall
and have sensibly changed their pro-
gram. Others. must necessarily fol-
low, since no ordinary distributor can
handle the Imperial Valley cantaloupe
game along his own lines where said
program is different from that of the
general practice. There has been no
combination of interests, no gentle
mems agreement" Each operator is
as completely Independent as in for
mer years. But the old idea of cut
throat competition, to grab this or
that acreage or to pull over this or
that set of growers, has been buricd,
All have agreed that there is room
for all and all have accepted the pro-
gram that the industry merits sta
BILE business program which will bu Id
up the interests of the Valley. In
a sense it is co-operation-bu of a
different type from that in which that
term is usually used in California. The
growers have, it would seem, finally
learned that their best interests lie
with the. success of big distributors
who have been in the game and who
have in the past risked many, many
thousands of dollars each season and
who have frequently been forced to
take the heaviest losses with no re-
course to recoup. Therefore it was

At The Theatre
At Palace Airdome Tonight.

Announcement was made today that
one of the most important screen
dramas of the year, "For Sale" with
Gladys Hulette and Creighton Hale
in the leading roles, is coming to the
Palace Airdome tqSight. "For Sale"
was written by Fred Jackson, who
already has a score of successful
plays and novels to his credit, and
whose short stories may be found IN
current popular magazines. The play
is tense with gripping situations and
recalls the famous play, Bought and
Paid For" in its style and vivid real
ism. 1t is a story that will grip the
spectator by its sheer emotionalism,
and Gladys Hulette is said to have
surprised even her most enthusiastic
admirers by her acting in "For Sale"
