CANTU READY
FOR |NVAS|ON2 2

LOS ANGELES, June 3O.-Baldo-
nero Almada announced that his
commission as governor of the
Northern District of Lower Califor-
MIA has been ended.
Reports that Governor Esteban
Cantu is preparing to fight any in
vasion of Baja California by troops
of Mexico City, were brought to this
city this morning by Mexican army
officers who were buying large
number of saddles. These same off
GERS stated that the 5000 troops
asked for by Sr. Baldomero Almada
were well on the way to Baja Cali
fornia and We're accompanied by Gen.
Alyardo Obregon, who is known to
have left for Sonora several days ago
from Mexico City.
According to the story told Bill
Perrins, manager of Brydon Brothers,
who also says they Cleaned him out"
of saddles, the governor was prepar-
ing to dynamite bridge in Lower
California AMI let loose an irrigation
ditch to prevent the invaders from
reaching Mexio ali.
Efforts to confirm the story failed
and the contrary side of the case
was given out by the chief of the
Cantu secret service who said that the
officers were purchasing saddles for
Mexican line riders.
Sr. Armada is now in Mexico City,
presumably in conference with Pro
visional President de la Huerta.

MILLION ACRES
OF OIL LANDS IN
HANDS OF E|tERS

There have been 391 applications to
the local United States land office for
filings on oil land in Imperial county.
Most of the applicants desired the
full amount of land obtainable, 1850
acres. This makes approximately
100000 acres of land filed on for
oil.
Most of the land north of Coyote
Wells and east of Holtville has been
filed on. The land office states that
they have sent most of the applica-
tions in to the general offices to be
approved, but that there are few
disputes which must be settled here
first.
Most of the eastern part of the
valley lands has been filed on by the
people of Holtville and Berkeley. The
work of drilling is not being done on
most of the land. The owners are
waiting to see the results of the work
of the oil companies who are carry
ing on the drilling.

NeU Order Goes in Effect.
(Special to The PresS.)


MEXICALI, June 3O.-Thousands of
people vainly struggled today in their
wild efforts to secure passports before
tomorrow when the new $40 rate goes
into effect. The only way to describe
the scene is to say that it is a strug-
Cling mass of humanity, crowding and
struggling for places in line before
the consulate.
Consul Walter F. Boyle was COM
PEELED to have police at the doors to
control the crowd and also to add
clerks until now in addition to himself
and Vice Consul Smale, there are five
working as hard as beavers to put
the rubber stamp on passports or bor-
der permits.
Long before the opening hours for
the office the crowds gathered to get
places in the line and waited as pa
tiently as possible for the doors to
open and when they did there was a
crowd that surrounded and hemmed
in the clerks at work.
All roads in Mexicali today lead to
the consulate and the Mexican people
who had been informed of conditions
by circulars distributed all over the
city took advantage of the opportunity
to save themselves the SO fee that
goes into effect tomorrow.
Consul Boyle has had no response
yet to his wire of inquiry regarding
the status of one-day permits and
whether or not they are to be re-
garded as passports and whether they
will have to be charged for at $40
each. AS it looks nows Inspector
Gripper's big one-day permit job will
have dwindled into nothing and it will
be indeed a thirsty citizen who will
pay $40 or perhaps more merely to
get over the line for a drink.

COLBY REPORTED MOIST

Secretary of State Colby, according
to reports slipping out from the closely
sealed quarters, was said to be favor
ing the wine and bear provision. The
report was accorded significance be-
cause of Colby's recent conference
with President Wilson. The drys are
said to be insistant upon a prohibition
expression if only to the extent of a
plank promising the enforcement of
the constitution and laws, generally
and specifically.
So far as the main body of the plat
form is concerned the subcommittee
found little trouble in agreeing with it.
The Virginia platform was endorsed
by President Wilson and brought to
San Francisco by Senator Glass who
was said to have furnished the basis
for the declaration which was readily
agreed to regarding the general prin-
clples of the party. Senator Glass sat
as the chairman of the subcommittee
and his advocacy of the administra-
tion policies was seconded by Secre-
tary Colby.

THIRD TERN DISCLAIMER

Once the most popular OF presidents,
Wilson has ceased to be so. His un-
popularity was shown in the congress
sional elections two years ago and it
has been reflected in the decline of the
democratic vote in every election since
then.
Why the White House does not lay
the ghost of a Wilson third term nom
ination is known to all inside admin
istration politicians. The president
wants to retain his influence as long
as possible. The moment he announces
that he is out of all possible consdera-
tion in the coming, race, that moment
he loses nine-tenths of the prestige
and power of the presidential office.
WATCH M'ADOO, PALMER, GLASS
President Wilson wants to be his
party's "leader" at this convention.
In other words, not necessarily often
sive, he wants to "boss" it. He wants
to dictate the league of nations plank

BUCKEYE DISTRICT
 |S FAST BECOMING
 COTTON PRODUCER

The Buckeye district harvested 225 bales of long staple cotton from 1000 acres during the season just closed, according to figures furnished by the Phoenix chamber of commerce. Grow ing conditions were practically those of the Salt River valley. Estimates on the cotton area for this season vary from 1,50O to 2,000 acres. The Buck eye district is now at work preparing the ground for the new crop.
 As with cotton so with all other crops, Buckeye is going rapidly ahead with a profitable past to encourage it. The Buckeye valley is about ten miles wide and 20 miles long. The general conditions of soil and the products are similar to those of the Salt River valley.
 The irrigation system of the Buck eye valley is under private control. It consists Of a diversion dam which elevates the water of the Gila river and enables it to be distributed over the valley lands. The farmers own the canals and although they have no res ervoir to draw from, there is abundant supply of water at all seasons. The great quantity of irrigation throughout the Salt River valley, which lies above the Buckeye valley in elevation, seems to increase the water supply so the farmers in the Buckeye valley can depend upon a constant flow for irriga-

to come. Complete cooperation in the production and establishment of the Egyptian cotton industry in Ari- zona is responsible for the success all ready attained" he believes and a strict and more thorough adherence to the organization will insure the sue cess of the business in future.
 In reviewing Arizona's resources and commenting on the future, MT. Hud- son said: We have certain climatic condition in Arizona that are distinct ly to our advantage. Also, we have a stabilized water supply. We have unusually fertile soil. We have high priced labor, high priced water and l believe that many will agree with me that we must of necessity produce high-priced commodities. We enjoy a tremendous advantage in Arizona due to our location, which is a greater advantage than we ordinarily think. There is little or no danger of our being troubled with the cotton pests Of the south if we stand behind our quaran- tine laws we should.
 Evidencing his own faith in the fu- ture of cotton in the valley, MT. Hud- son has from year to year expanded the scope of his efforts until his in- terests now total practically three sec tions of land, located in the district south of Tempe. Every acre of this he is seeding to cotton this year, the hum of activity resounding from every corner of the big ranch; blows have already finished their bit of turning up the soil following last years har- vest. irrigating is now in progress. and within another months time greater ing nourishment to another season s 1prOn

MAN WHO GROWS COTTON ON BIG SCALE DISCUSSES CONDITIONS
 HERE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

E. w. Hudson, ever one of the fore most boosters of the cotton industry and the man who might rightfully be called the father of cotton in the Salt River valley, has expanded his interests to where he will have seeded to cotton this year better than 1,S00 acres, beyond a doubt the largest area ever farmed~in the valley by an indi- vidual grower
 To the cooperation that has existed between the growers and the organi- zatlon that has always been retained intact, MT. Hudson attributes the en- tire success of the cotton industry in the valley Without our organization or the Arizona Egyptian cotton grow CTS association which has always kept our labor situation well in hand, and foreseefng the demands from year to year has always kept a sufficient supply of help available, we would be helpless in the Salt River valley to produce beyond 5000 to 10000 bales of cotton a year." he said.
 Returning to the date when he first came to Arizona and short time later, experimental station at Sacaton, he undertook the experiments with the various types of cotton, MT. Hudson gave a very interesting review of the industry as it has developed. His story of the history of cotton in Arizona fol- lows:
 ''The department of agriculture be- gan experimenting with cotton in Ari- zona in 1907, planting a large variety at the experiment station at Sacaton, Arizona. in cooperation with the United States Indian service. During the summer of 1911 number of men from Mesa visited the experiment station at Sacaton to see our cotton ex- periments and were so favorably inn pressed that interest in our work be- came very high around Mesa, with the result that we received numerous in- vitations to attend meetings called for the purpose of discussing the sit uation- It resulted further in our se- curing the cooperation of number of farmers in the vicinity of Mesa, who planted from to acres in the spring of 1912. Several of these men were very successful and two of the seven secured more than one and onehalf bale per acre from their small acreage.
 Public sentiment in favor of the cotton was now getting very strong and a few enthusiastic men at Mesa raised the necessary funds and provided small ginning plant that successfully Einned and baled the small crop raised which sold for 21 cents pound, f. O. b., Mesa The money raised for the cree ton of this first gin in the valley was considered as donations at the time, by those who subscribed.
 This first years efforts were very gratifying and the following year about 2,5o0 acres were planted, yielding about 2,200 bales. Th>S increased acreage caused the organization of the Mesa Egyptian cotton exchange Practically around Mesa and Tempe organized ear 1y in the season in order to provide ginning facilities and to secure the nec- essary labor for harvesting the crop.
Arizona republican., 1920-02-20

Through the organization of these farmers there was built and equipped the first cooperative ginning plant in the valley at the cost Of about S17,000.
 Tn 1913 the Chandler growers organ ized and proceeded to construct a sub stantial gin. The Tempe community was now planting cotton but found it necessary to haul to Phoenix or Mesa to have it ginned. During the spring of 1913 Mir. Atha organized and equipped a ginning plant at Phoenix and an oil mill for crushing the seed.
 The price received for cotton in 1913 was very good, everything con sidered, and the people were so en- unused and optimistic that the follow ing year they planted an approximate total of 10000 acres and produced 6.200 bales, about one-half bale per acre, which considering the character of the land on which the cotton was planted was very good"
 Since 1913 the cotton industry has grown by leaps and bounds in the Salt River valley. At the end of that year farmers were satisfied that cotton was a profitable crop. and with the close of each seasons harvest since then it has proven itself more so. Gradually the scope of the industry has enlarged, individual growers all over the valley have planted the crop, companies have been formed and seeded large acreages, ginning plants have been built in every town and every settlement and the in duStry has increased and expanded un- til it now dominates all other crops
 While cotton mas been highly prof itable following through the three sea- sons past, in MT. Hudson's opinion it will continue as such for some years
