TONIGHT ID
 TELL EXTENT OF HAIL
 DAMAGE ID COTTON

Expert opinion as to the exact amount of damage done to the cotton crop by the hailstorm of last Friday afternoon is to be ascertained tonight when a meeting of all those interested is called at the Madison Improvement club house at 8 o'clock. This club house is on the Indian School road four miles east of Central avenue.
 Ed L. Shaw, president of the Camel back Farm bureau, who made the an nouncement of tonight's meeting, says there will be cotton experts in atten- dance from the Southwest Cotton com pany and from other concerns in the valley who will give their opinion con corning the extent of the damage and the degree in which the cotton plants will be able to recover. These cotton experts have been making a close eX- animation of the damaged fields, it is stated, and their opinions will be of great value and interest.
 With the passing of the days since the terrific hailstorm of last Friday the cotton plants have shown remark able ability to recuperate from the fearful hammering they received in the almost record storm that swept across the county in a strip from one and half to two miles in width, ac | eording to the opinion of growers whose fields were in the storm path. Mir. Shaw, whose so acres of cotton | which was directly in the path of the storm. is greatly encouraged over the manner in which the cotton has come | back" since the storm and is now of l the opinion that he VII get practically a full crop. This opinion is shared by other cotton growers whose fields were whipped by the hail.
 There was a peculiarity in the I storm" said MT. Shaw yesterday. 'Tn fields where the cotton rows run east ! and west the damage from the hail seemed to be considerably greater than in fields where the rows run north and south. Fortunately, my cotton had not been chopped, and was not hurt as much as some near by fields
 which had been thinned. Tn our dis
 trict the storm seemed to come from
 almost directly east"

 Most of Saturday and Sunday was spent by the congressman in the Casa Grande district, including the San Car 1 los Indian reservation. The committee men on their trip are inspecting Indian reservations, holding hearings and in vestigating conditions in regard to pro l posed irrigation projects. From ] Parker, where one day will be spent the congressman will go to southern l California.
 f Each member of the party, during the short time spent here yesterday after noon, was presented with a photograph of the Roosevelt dam by the chamber 1 of commerce, each picture bearing the
 name of the congressman and a lime
