TO STRENGTHEN
COOP SELLING

To strengthen it's service in the
field of cooperative marketing, the
bureau of markets and crop estimates
of the United States department of
agriculture has undertaken a reor-
ganization in this branch of it's work.
Mr.. Lloyd S. Tenny, assistant to the
chief of the bureau, has been desig-
mated to take charge of the coopera-
tive marketing activities of the bureau
and to arrange with the several COM
modify divisions for the employment
of commodity specialists who are quail
flied in cooperative marketing. This
work is so intimately connected with
the marketing work in general of the
several commodity divisions that it
seemed desirable to coordinate the two
lines of work more closely A study
of the economics of cooperative mar
keting is planned and more thorough
analysis will be made of the extent of
existing cooperative organizations, in
cluding the size of the business, the
organization, machinery, sales, brok-
erage, etc. Farmers desiring infor-
nation and advice in the organization
and conduct of cooperative associa-
tions will be aided by service and ex-
tension mec experienced in coopera-
tive marketing.

Especial to The Press.)


CALEXICO, July 14.-One of the
most important undertakings in its
effect upon business and living condi-
tions in Mexicali, and incidentally in
Calexico, was announced by Governor
Ybarra of the Northern District of
Lower California yesterday. Improve
ments calling for an expenditure of
hundreds Of thousands of dollars and
reqhiring the services Of large num-
ber of men for many months will be
begun Immediately. In fact, the pre-
Eiminary arrangements are already
disposed Of The improvements will
make Mexicali more desirable as a
residence place, and the most imports
ant of these is an extension of the
present inadequate system of water
wqfks. The Completed system will
seAve the city thoroughly. Service
pipes will be carried to every point in
even the remotest additions, and es-
pecialy in the new Capitol Addition
and what is known as New Town.
Material for the water system is
now on the way to Mexicali, Engi-
neers will soon complete their work,
and laborers are being collected. 1t
is unofficially stated that about 200
men will be required at che beginning
since the water system and other i'm
provements contemplated are to be
rushed as rapidly as possible.
Gov. Ybarra said he had found the
district possesses a large amount of
modern equipment for road work and
all kinds of industries, but that this
equipment is scattered all over the
district and much of it has had little
or no care. A force of men has been
sent out to gather and bring in this
machinery and put it into shape for
use. 1t will then be kept and cared
for in Mexicali, except when required
in actual use elsewhere. 49, i.'-

CONDITIONS IN

That Imperial Valley, which with
other agricultural sections through
out the country felt the marked decline
in the value of farm products in the
general postwar readjustment, has
made most remarkable and quick re-
covery and that business conditions in
the valley are now good was brought
out in an interview in the San Diego
Union with F. B. Ful,er, vice president
of the Southern Trust and Commerce
bank at Ell Centre and Brawley.
"You must remember that Imperial
Valley is not one-crOp section, neith-
er is there only one harvest season" ,"
said Fuller. eve are harvesting and
planting the whole year through, and
carloads and trainloads of Valley pro-
ducts are rolling out at all times. In
fact, the harvest time of one crop
often overlaps that of the next, and
we have two or three products going
out at the same time.
Beginning with the first of the
year, our lettuce men made a fair
profit, while the asparagus acreage
proved a gold mine. Winter vegetables
brought some remarkable good returns
and in a week or ten days the canta-
loupe crop will have been cleaned up,
with a record of more than 5000 cars
and money value exceeding $1O,-
100000. The growers expect good
balance on the right side of the ledger.
"Watermelons have shown hand
some profit, while with grapes, which
are just beginning to go cast. it is only
question of how big the checks will
be which the vineyardists will receive.
The milo maize outlook is good. We
have considerable acreage planted to
milo and expect excellent prices.
alfalfa, with dividend-producing
dairy herds, is one of the valleys
standby's and am extremely glad 70
note marked increase in alfalfa acre
age" said Fuller. "The cotton market
is on a marked upward trend and l
expect to see 15-cent cotton before
next harvest, at which price the grow
ers are assured good profit.
"Take it all in all. business 'ondi-
ton in Imperial Valley are good and
we are optimistic. Our stores, banks,
and other institutions are busy, re-
flecting healthy condition of agri-
culture"
