MEXICO ADDS

'0F co I 7 D n
Grow ers Across Line Excer-
cized by Sudden Raise in
Tariff by Federal Author
tiles. Many Protests Are
Made. =.

Consideration does not begin to des-
cribe the feeling of cotton growers be-
low tle line tcday, when information
considerd to be from most author
itativc source, leaked out that an i'm
mediare raise in the export tariff
charged by the Mexican Federal gov
ernmeat would become effective in
the vecy near future.
The present rate of 3 to 5 cents
per kilo or approximately $6.28 per
bale is to be increased to a charge of
$10.31 per baje, which does not in
clude any TAX for the municipality o,
the territorial government.
Cotton growers across the line have.
not vet forgotten the increased tax
proposed several season ago and
which Governor CaEtu fought, even
going so far as to advise the growers
not TO pay it. The raise was not
paid ana was afterwards reduced by
the Mexican Federal government 20
the present rate OF three cents per
kilo.
One prominent cotton grower said
today that if this proposed tax went
into effect that 80 percent of the
growers below the line would lose
everything they had. With cotton
selling at present prices and addition
al expenses to he met, no possible
margin Of profit could be realized by
the producer, he said

COOPERATIVE
MARKETING A
SPECULATION
ENDING PLAN.
Would Increase Acreage of
Imperial Valley 100000
Says J. p. Britt, Deputy
State Marketing AssOcia-
ton Here Next Week.

Proposing to eliminate speculation
and waste in the distribution of food
products from the grower the con-
sumer, the state Of California has COM
t.ned with the federal government in a
concerted move to assist the growers
of this state in the proper ma ,i:eting
OF their produce. This movement is
row under way backed by all of the
",ato commits ;l.rs and departm ants,
who have power of regulation ovei
food commodities produced in this
state. The work, which is under the
personal supervision of State Market
Director H. G. Daneils, will be carried
out in connection with the farm bu-
reaus in the different parts of the
state and the staff of the state depart
ment of agriculture, it is announced
In response to the many inquiries
coming into the general offices through
out the state from farm bureaus and
growers Of farm products in the var
iOus southern parts of the state, Mr.
Bigelow, secretary of the state mar
ket commission, and James P. Britt,
director Of the farm bureaus in the
southern part of the state, are making
careful study Of conditions, as to the
possibility of bringing the different
groups of growers int cooperative
marketing associations.
In this behalf, Bigelow and Britt will
be in Ell Centre during the first part
of next week. Their headquarters
will be located at the county farm
bureau office, in the court house.
Farm bureaus throughout the state
have made careful investigation as
to the crop conditions, the amount of
food products available, proximity to
shipping points, and other material
matters, connected with the ability of
the growers to organize by reason of
the amount of their products.
Following these Investigations, the
two men have called meetings of the
growers in San Diego and in the I'M
perial and Coachella Valleys.
In connection with the crop situa-
tion Britt states that in the Imperial
Valley alone there will be an increase
Of cultivation Of more than 100000
acres.
The cooperative marketing idea,
which has been pioneered in Califor
MIA, is now being taken up in almost
every other state in the union. 1t is
the opinion of the market commission
that it will not only increase produc-
ton, which is essential at this time,
but that by the elimination Of waste
and speculation it will decrease the
price Of necessities to the ultimate con-
sumner, the aim of every industry to-
day.
