HARRIS COMMENTS
ON COTTON CROP

"The farmers may be looked upor
as a trust if they counsel and agree
to reduce or curtail acreage giver
to cotton next year. Yet the finan
cial trust of this country can curtal
credit all it pleases, under the head
ing OF sdeflation." Therefore, sug'
gest to the farmers that instead OF
curtailing their cotton acreage next
year, they merely deflate it," says
Commissioner Harris in his Weekly
Market Bulletin. "Let's get the
style. No hayseed business for u.s.
We can see fancy words too. Let's
deflate our cotton crop and make
the rest of the world as miserable
over the lack of cotton as they are
irving to make US feel over selling
cotton below the cost of producing
it."
Commissioner Harris says that If
the farmers will warehouse their
cotton and get the merchant to take
payment for debt in cotton receipts
hen the merchant can carry the re-
ceipts to the bank and square their
accounts, and in that way a whole
lot of debt paid and the title and
ownership of the cotton remain IN
the name of the producer until ne
gets ready to sell it at a favorable
price.
Commissioner Harris declares
that if the farmers of the state do
not sow oats this fall they will be
doing a great injury to their state
and to themselves. This is the time
when the necessity for small grain
crops is most pressing. 1t will act as
q balance wheel for a cotton crop
and atxhe same time will present
the necessity of buying grain at an
advanced price from the. producers
of the West.
The state department of agrlcul-
ture has had numerous requests re-
Gently to inspect oats in carload lots
shipped into the state. Commissioner
Harris declares that the buyers
should in every case have a distinct
contract as to the grade Of oats eX-
pected and should always buy sub
ject to inspection. This applies to
hay as we'll as to the oats. Some
dealers in hay have had trouble be-
cause they bought without permis-
sion to inspect, and Grade 1 Timo-
thy sometimes turns out to be weeds
and stalks and straw with hay. 1t
pays to take every precaution. in
buying feeds from outside of the
state. o
Most of the seed oats shipped into
the state are in good order, but
some that are Clipped to Georgia an
reshipped into this state are found
to contain johnson grass seed. Com
missioner Harris urges the dealers
and buyers to look out for this kind
of oats for the Johnson grass, or
Means grass, is pest in an oats
field, although in meadow it beats
the world for hay.
While the guest of farmers
club in Aiken county, Commissioner
Harris inspected a number Of COT
ton fields infested with the boil
weevil. He found that the weevil
had not only punctured the tender
young squares, but actually had
bored into the bolls and had eaten
out the hearts of the seeds and
there deposited the eggs which

SANTA f ENTRY
IN VALLEY REVIVED
City Attorney in BraUley
Brings Back Interesting Tale
from, Kansas City; s. p. TAPS
San Diego; Not Liked.

BRAWLEY, April 21.-That the
Santa Fe railroad proposes to tap
the Imperial Valley, crossing it at
Brawley, is the story brought back
from Kansas City by City Attorney
Jas. L. Allen. The Santa Fe officials
are considerably peeved. it appears, at
railroad into their exclusive territory
are now planning to enter the Imperial
Valley. Brawley, being the heaviest
truck shipping point in the United
States, is the center of attraction.
The information was given out by an
official high in the councils of the
Santa Fe.
e. P. Ripley, the late president of
the Santa Fe drove by automobile
from Warmers Hot Springs to Braw-
ley with Col. Ed. Fletcher and a par
ty of railroad officials three years
ago. 1t was asserted at that time the
visit was for other purposes than for
the observance of the desert scenery.
A Santa Ee survey crosses the valley
just north of Brawley.
When the Santa Fe enters Brawley
it is believed the road will be routed
by way of Blythe, Brawley and San
Diego. Construction of road across
the mountains from Blythe to Braw-
ley is not difficult, as an eacy pass
exists. After following the old Santa
Fe survey made in 1906, the road can
follow in general way the new auto
mobile highway from Brawley to War
ner's ranch, thence to Escondido or
No difficult construction
will be occasioned along this route,
which was selected many years ago.

syndicate and colonized by Englishmen
who came over seas to manufacture
