BIG MEXICO RANCH
IS PLANTED in
COTTON

CALEXlCO, March 20-Nictor Caru
so who last fall obtained control of 10,
coo acres of the famous Lee Coates
ranch south of fhe border, is busily en-
gagged in planting 300 of the ground t.
cotton. The preparation of the soil ant
the planting of the seed has been under
the direction of Arch Anderson, one OF
the best known cotton growers in The
south, and the big TRACT is as well pre-
pared as if it were for the raising of the
rarest variety of flowers.
1t was the original intention of Mr.
Caruso in taking over the Coates rancl
to plant to alfalfa and go in for the
raising of purebred dairy cattle. The
recent swing of the pendulum in the
cotton situation for the better, con
vinced Inn, however that the comm:
season would be good one for cotton
While the price of cotton the coming
season, because of crop conditions
throughout the cotton growing sections
of the country, may be up around =;
cents, we are not taking any chances
on that theory. Our cotton is being
planted and will be cultivated on l.
cent per pound basis, and | am con
WINGED that we can grow and deliver
to the market all the cotton we raise
at a handsome profit at that price. II
it goes above ID cents, why we are win
ners Just that much more
Unusually heavy acreage to both cot
ton and other staple crops is being put
in below the border and there is greater
activity in agricultural lines in th'
Northern District of Lower California
than ever before. The success of Mexi
can growers this season is raising let
tuce has greatly encouraged all of tn
ranchers in that section, and next yea
there will be larger planting than e~er
A considerable canteloupe acreage ha
been put in also, and the output o.
melons this year will be more thar
double that of any previous season
Heavy shipments of Persian, Casaba
honevdew and watermelons can also b.
looked for.
