The soil upon which this cotton was
grown was a heavy sandy loan, not
the best soil for cotton. 1t is rather
difficult to prepare well for this crop,
nevertheless the stand was good. The
crop Of 1917 was seeded, the Egyptian
on May and the Durango on May y.
Another plot Of Egyptian seeded on
May IA lacked many days reaching ma
tulity when caught by the forst. The
crop of 1916 was seeded, the Egyp-
tian on April 8 and the Durango on
April IS.
The relative GOODNESS and dryness
of the early part of the season of 1917
retarded the development of this crop
considerably. This is especially true
Of the crop planted May ID, for which
more than six months of growing
weather was not sufficient The lat
ter part Of the season was, however,
very favorable to cotton because Of
the lateness of the rains and relatively
high temperature in October and No
vember. These factors brought about
conditions for checking the growth of
the plants and for opening the bolls.
The temperature at the close of the
season and the lateness of forsts are
not, however, the most important fac
tors in the yield and harvesting of the
crop. The prevalence of early fall

rams have a more important bearing
at this time. Egyptian cotton is cas-
lily knocked from the bolls and carly i
fall rains damage the crop greatly. Il
Those who contemplate planting the
crop in the middle and lower Sacra- .
mento valley must take note Of this. !,
When early rains are combined with |
warm weather the cotton continues to
grow and the bolls do not open read |
lily.
The water supply for the cotton in
Question was derived from high wa
ter table. In June and July this free
water comes within about 20 inches
Of the surafec, but it is late in rising
lin the spring. Hence the crop did
not get a vigorous start and did not
reach advanced growth until early in
the summer 1t is considered, there
fore, that both in respect to soil and
moisture our crop did not have reason
ably good conditions for growth and
development, yet the crop was both Of
good quality and quantity. Where
land is fertile, water and labor are
available, and good culture methods
are given, it would seem that the out
look for profit in the production of
this crop is bright.
1t must not be inferred from this
that all localities in the valley would
produce cotton successfully. For not
only is further experimental work
necessary, especially related to time
and method of planting, but q period
of education must he provided for re-
lating to the habits and growth of the
plant and its culture. Even though
farmers may be familiar with the
crop grown in other parts Of the coun-
try, yet much must be learned regard
ing irrigation and influence of season
on the development Of the crop in Cali
fornia.
1t is both the desire end the object
OF Jhe experiment SIaJl0n at kearney
Ranch to direct the way to this bet
ter understanding of the crop and its
culture. 1t is also the object of the
experiment station to serve as a cen
ter for the dissemination Of good seed.
This year good seed sufficient to plant
about Is acres will be produced and
already negotiations are under way to
secure a gin so that this seed may
be available for planting next spring.
Mr.. Frisselle, manager of Keaney
Ranch, will plant about 80 acres, and
from this planting good seed will be
available for all members of the Farm
Bureau who may want to engage in
this industry.

POTATO STORAGE HOUSES
URGED BY COAST LINE AGENT

To Growers, Bankers, Merchants an
Other Business Men:
We call your attention to the crol
report of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture which forecasts
the largest sweet potato crop for Ala
fbama, Georgia and Florida that ha:
lever been produced. July 1st forecast
flor Alabama was 100000 bushels
for Georgia 11,739,0OO bushels, and fol
Florida 4,322,OOO bushels, or com.
bined prospect for there three States
of 33,O93,OO0 bushels as against pro-
|duction of 31,145,OO0 bushels in 1917
above named States for 1918.
1t is estimated by the United States
department of Agriculture that from
rs to so per cent of the sweet potl-
toes stored in banks or pits spoil.
Taking a very low average loss Of 80
per cent we see that this would mean
a total loss of nearly ten million
bushels Of sweet potatoes in the
above named tSates for 1918.
AT no time should this big economic
waste be allowed to occur but par
ticularly at this time when the world
is in need of every mouthful of food
that can be produced should positive
steps be taken to stop such a big
leak. How can it be done? By the
and use of potato stor-
age houses, details concerning which
can be had on application to your
county demonstration agent, to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ure, Washington, D. c., or to our Of
ice. When properly handled the per-
'entage of potatoes lost from decay
When stored in these houses will not
xceed is per cent.
AS a food conservation measure
nd as a good business undertaking
We urge the large growers of sweet
otatoes to build these houses, and the
ankers, merchants and other bust
ess men to provide community stor-
&c houses for the smaller growers
tho are not able to build individual
.orage houses, and who do not grow
otatoes in sufficient quantity to ius-
fly them in doing so.
May we not ask that you give this
alter your most earnest considera-
on and that you take such favorable
,tion as your better business judg-
ent dictates?
