Approximately $1,000 acres of
Imperial Valley cotton, planted on
this side of the line. is now enter
ing the harvesting season, according
to figures given out by Horticultu-
raj Commissioner b. \. Harrigan
today. The picking of this immense
crop started several weeks ago in
some sections, and will continue
well into February, the commission
er believes.
In the Calipatria district larger
acreage is devoted to cotton than
any where else in the valley, about
1900 acres having been planted
there. Seeley is also another center,
and the Indian Reservation in the
Bard district boasts of 1000 acres.
The crop is said to be looking
fine in ali districts, and to have
been much benefited by the recent
rains, which helped fill the bolls,
and washed off much of the dust.
According to the opinion of ex-
perts, the price of cotton, which
is now 26 cents, will increase, and
the demand will undoubtedly eX-
ceed the supply. 1t is said that
next season will see the demand
even stronger.
Acreage below the line this year
is also large, about $4,000 acres
in all, with the crop i'll splendid

that fair feminiity has not been
