Appointment of an assistant .secre-
tary OF labor TO be stationed at Ellis
Island, and an increase in the force
OF inspectors will be requested,
Chairman Albert Johnson said. The
main cause Of congestion, re added,

SECTION ONCE DESERT
RICHEST COTTON AREA
by United Press)

Los Angeles, Cal, July 8.-Seventy-
five million dollars is the estimated
value of the 1920 cotton crop now
growing largely on what ten years
ago was barren desert, in California
and Arizona. Figures compiled by the
Pacific cotton exchange show 260,550
acres planted to long staple cotton
this year in the two states.
Of this total 10000 acres is in the
Salt River Valley of Arizona, irri-
gated almost entirely by the Roosevelt
dam which turned the Arizona desert
into flower garden almost over
night. The California acreage is 49,
$50 and is expected to yield a crop
worth 100000 at present prices
The Arizona crop is expected to bring
close to $50,000,000. 1t is the largest
cotton acreage yet planted in the
southwest. The bulk of the product
is sold to rubber companies for use
in automobile tires.
