side at a two days session of the COM
mittee. In the absence of definite
work from the president on the sub

The names most frequently mentioned
are those of McAdoo and Palmer. Mr..
Cummings said:
"The meeting today marks the
opening of an active and militant

VALLEYS s CANT
CROP ONE-F0URTH
THAT Of NATION

According to statistics, complied
by the Federal Reserve Bank, of San
Francisco, the Imperial Valley acre
age of cantaloupes is about twenty
five per cent of the total for the
United States, as there is close to
10000 acres planted to the melons.
Of this, the Brawley district has g.
235 acres. The total for the nation
is O,233 acres.
The cotton crop in the valley, also,
comes in for favorable mention in
the report, and it is claimed that be-
cause of favorable weather, the crop
is a month ahead of schedule. Fol
lowing is the portion of the report
with valley crops:
Cotton prospects in Arizona are
reported to be excellent and preli-
minary estimates place the total
acreage for the state at 10000,
compared with $4,000 acres last year
and 41,OO acres two years ago. The
acreage of Egyptian or long staple,
is approximately 10000, compared
with 10000 last year, when $4,000
bales were produced. On account of
favorable weather conditions, the
crop in the Imperial Valley is now
fully month ahead of the 1918 sea-
son. The acreage of what is termed
the California CROP is estimated as
follows: San Joaquin Valley, 10000;
Palo Verde Valley, 10000; Imperial
Valley, Calf, $4,000; Imperial Val
ley, Mexico, marketed through Ca
leXico) 100000, making total of
$4,000 acres, practically the same
as last year.
The cantaloupe ACREAGE in Califor-
mia and Arizont in 1918 amounted to
forty-two per cent of the total in the
United States, and it is estimated
that in 1919, it will approximate
forty-thre per cent. Detailed COM
parative figures for these two states
and for the United States follow:

mobilzing her credits had long been ac-
cepted by the financial world. Old
banks expanded, and new banks came
into existence. 1t is reported that de-
posits grew to almost four times their
prewar amount. Insurance records of
old Depmark were shattered in a man
ner that never had been thought possi-
BILE; for Copenhagen became the place
in which American and European insur-
ance companies placed their reinsurance,
a business which had once gone to the
Central Powers.
On the heels of this increased .finan-
cial power came positive assertion of
initiative on the part of the Danish
businessman. Worldwide trading Or
ganizations came into being, and Copen-
hagen became the home of these organ
izations, the branches of which were
chiefly in the countries at war with Ger
many. Among these organizations is
the Transatlantic Company, which was
started in 1916. to compile information
regarding foreign trade and to invest
capital in firms engaged in foreign trade
This organization has, so far, succeeded
in assocating itself with seventeen i'm
porting and exporting companies. An
other important organization is the
General Commercial Company. Ltd,
started in 1917, which differs from the
Transatlantic Company only in that it
is concerned chiefly with Russia and
South America.

point where it may be enlarged to
twice its present capacity
The free port is a semi-offical insti-
tuition, and is in close connection with
the Danish customs department. In
fact it is an agency of that department
Like all other free ports, it offers GER
tain advantages to the foreign manufac-
turer. Goods may be stored in it's build
ings free of duty for any length of time.
Thus the privilege is afforded to the
Baltic distributor of having a conven-
lent storehouse for his goods. which may
accumulate during slack season. When
the demand becomes heavy, the Baltic
trader is in n position to meet the wants
of his customers Immediately. The car
goes of oceangoing vessels may be un-
loaded at Copenhagen and distributed in
the Baltic regions by the smaller steam
ers which call at the less important Bal
tic ports. These steamers would return
to Copenhagen with the exports of the
Baltic regions. which would form the
return cargo of the oceangoing vessels.
The convenience which the Copen-
hagen free port affords the foreign man
ufacturer is not confined to the Baltic
territory alone: for Copenhagen may

rope. AS Hamburg was at one time so
Copenhagen is now a terminus for many
ships calling at all ports of the world,
and chiefly European ports. Hence ii
offers the same service that Hamburg
did in former years, that is, quick and
cheap transhipment of goods. when the
demand is heavy, to all important Euro
pean ports

strong commercial organizations, free
from German influence are sources of
strong assurance to the Danish trader,
yet the free port has been the founda-
ton of the confidence upon which they
have placed their hopes. Their conf
dence in Copenhagen's free port has not
been lessened by the constant warnings
that Sweden and Norway will not stand
with folded arms while Denmark at
tempts to gain supremacy in the Baltic
trade. Again and again the warning is
made that Malmo and Gothenburg in
Sweden, and Bergen and Christiania in
Norway. are planning free harbors The
Dane knows that more cities of Scan
dinavia will be needed to handle the
enormous resulting traffic yet he is well
aware of the fact that the geographical
position of either Malmo or Gothenburg
is not as favorable as that of Copen-
hagen. Norway's claims do not loom
large, for Bergen and Christiania can
not be placed in the same category with
Gothenburg or Malmo.
The port of Copenhagen has been free
for more than twenty-five years. For
period of years it was not improved,
but during the war changes have been
made and a real development has taken
place. 1t has been estimated that more
than 10 million dollars has been spent
thus. Its tonnage capacity, reported to
be 100000, has been pronounced as
inadequate for the traffic which Copen-
hagen may expect. This condition. how
ever, may be easily overcome, since the
free port, being north of the city, is at

Go home, Uncle Rooster. Go

COPENHAGEN SEEKS TO
CONTROL BALTIC TRADE
The Old Merchants Haven Aspres Again to Be the Com
mercal Leader of North Europe Now That Hamburg
Has Been Crippled by the War

The Vikings, scudding about in their
| httle sailing ships to plunder pretty
well controlled commerce a dozen CEN
turies ago. In the course of their scud-
dings they founded on the north coast
of the Island of Sjaelland where Ma
ture had provided a protected harbor,
town which they called Kobenhavn,
or merchants haven" and which is now
known to the world as Copenhagen,
capital of Denmark.
The merchandising at this haven con-
sisted largely in those days of receiving
stolen treasures from the big blond raid
ers and providing the sea rovers in re-
turn with mead for their drinking horns.
The traders ffourished and eventually
began to find some outlet beyond their
own country for their increasing stocks,
and thus Copenhagen grew TO COM
mercial Importance. so much so, in fact,
that it became one of the influential
members of the Hanseatic League and
a rival of Hamburg, Bremen, Lubbock
and the German North Sea and Baltic
ports.
In the Thirty Years War Germany
was torn and plundered and Copenhagen
took n squirt ahead of its German rivals.
King Christian ", recognizing Den
marks opportunity. promoted trade. In
1890 he built on one of the waterways
which cut into the city house, and that
striking, many gabled structure, still is
used as a stock exchange. 1t is of red
tapestry brick and is surmounted by
spire formed by the twisting together,
ropelike. of the bodies of four great
copper dragons. This spire, green with
the verdgris of centuries, may be seen
on clear days far out over the Oresund,
that separates Denmark from Sweden.
Gcrmnns Got the Trade
But in later days the Danish traders
lost some of the aggressiveness of Eric
the Red and of old Christian while the
North Germans became more and more
the merchants of the Baltic and the
North Sea. Then came the theft by
Prussia of SchleswiG- Holstein and later
the digging of the kiel Canal. Copen-
hagen became an easy going city of a
glorious past, while the ships from the
seven seas anchored at Hamburg or
Bremen.
The world war, however, gave Copen-
hagen another opportunity. and now the
old Merchants Haven" hopes again TO
take mercantile sea honors from the
castle banner of Hamburg. Regarding
Copenhagen's aspirations. Albert Il.
Haase, writing in the New York Times,
says:
The war made Copenhagen a clearing
house for Europe. AS the capital of
one of the most important neutral Euro
pean countries it became a political
center of great significance. Changed
conditions brought prosperity, and a
