farmer and the miller. Last year the
American Cotton association sold
2CC 900 bales of cotton to the mills
and have contracted to sell I00,0OO
bales OF both short ana long staple
cotton this year and 6Oe.00O next. In
Oklahoma the cotton growers have
signed contracts with their ASSOCIATION
Tor years without price stipulation.
The farmer. through his organization
should control cotton from seed to
T i'll. In order that associations can
have correct data. as to what price to
sell cotton to bring a reasonable pro-
fit. farmers should keep accurate cost
data. He urged that the Imperial
Valley growers use the sales and
market service departments of the
Arizona association this year. He
aid that each community should have
bonded warehouses.

3. D. Irvine, of Brawley, former
president of the Imperial County
Farm Bureau then thanked the Salt
River Valley folks for the reception
rendered Us and hoped soon 20 be able
to welcome them to Imperial Valley.
E. c. Heard. Maricopa county ag-
ricultural agent, who had conducted
the tour and made the arrangements,
then spoke briefly to the assembly;
He advised growers to prepare land
very thoroughly and to just soak the
ground before planting. Seed should
be sown just as early as possible,
since four times out of five an early
frost will do TO material damage.
Twenty-Five pounds per acre will give
a perfect stand if every seed germin-
ates and every plant makes good. but
much better to plant 40 or 90 pounds
per acre. Early planting produces
sturdier plants, which are not so
rank, while later planting tends to
make plants shoot up during warm

Of COOPERATION
Of ALL INTERESTS
Especial to The PressD

LOS ANGELES, July 3.-Follow-
ing q conference at the chamber OF
commerce yesterday, representatives
of various irrigation districts in the
Colorado basin below the Grand
Canyon assured A. P. Davis, director
of the United States reclamation serv-
ice of their cooperation in furthering
the Colorado river project and in The
preliminary survey work. The meet
iug went on record in favor of ves;ing
in the secretary of the interior the au-
thority to determine the construction,
maintenance. operation and distribu-
ton of water.
Mr.. Davis said that his department
is prepared to start the survey at the
Boulder Canyon site and elsewhere at
once. He expressed himself in favor OF
the proposed all-American canal ana
added that if later it should be founl
not desirable the plan can be changed
or abandoned.
Mr.. Davis emphasized the neces-
sity of unified action by the southwest

states and said he felt sure that there
can be no antagonism between COM
munities of the upper and lower river
because of the short upper river IL
rigating season comes at high water
periods when the supply is ample for
everybody. He said that he has al
ways maintained that there can be no
conflict of interest over the division
of the water between the United
Stats and Mexico.

ence including members of the Impe-
rial Valley Irrigation District board,
Ccachella Valley, Palo Verde Valley,
Yuma Valley, William Mulholland,

x. Chase, chairman of the chamber OF
commerce committee on reclamation
and Colorado river, presided.
TO APPOINT COMMITTEE
A committee of seven is to be ap-
pointed by Mr.. Chase to assemble
such information and data as may be
requested by Director Davis. This com
mittee will probably report at a con-
ference late this month to be called
in San Diego by Mr.. Davis. The re-
port on the Colorado river survey by
the secretary of the interior is to be
in the hands of congress by Dec. 6.
A resolution was passed requesting
the University of California and the
: University of Arizona to report or
