COTTON YIELD
IS VERY HIGH

-"In past years where the cotton
yield of Imperial Valley fields and
those across the line has been one
half bale to the acre, this season
shows a yield of from three-fourths
to one bale and in few cases rs
high as a bale and half.''
This statement, made today by
Horticultural Commissioner Har.
sjgan, will be kailed with joy by
those who have been contending
with their pessimistic neighbors
that economic conditions Of this
district are really showing marked
Improvement.
+ With cotton selling ut 2S34 cents
per pound, and at 80 cents in Mex
leo City and other points, and with
planted acreage producing so much
more heavily than ever before, the
cotton situation looks exceedingly
bright.
Practically all the gins are now
in operation, and the long staple
at Seeley, the Calipatria gin, one
at Holtvillc and at Imperial as well
rs those across the line report
that they are unusually busy.
No lack of labor for picking the
crop exists, and everything seems
to assure the cotton men of n
most successful year. Predictions
are also made by experts who know
the situation thoroughly that next
season will be even better than the
present one.

HOME DECORATIONS
FOLLOW COLORS or
WOWEN'S COSTUMES

A merchant of long and broad
experience makes this interest
ing observation ir regard to
color: that the fashionable color
in costumes will in time make
its impression in home decora-
tion, and he cites instances
where black and white schemes
followed that combination in
dress; also brown, and latterly
green.
Although it is difficult to get
decorators to admit that there
are fads or vogues in decora-
tlor, the argument being that
what is good is always good.
There are certainly movements
in color. In Italian damasks a
number are carried in Venetian
red, green and orange. A hand
come new brocade has an orange
stripe which is striking without
be1n gaudy. Incidentally,
stripes and stripe effects and
combinations are considered
good.
Among the new draperies just
arrived are some exquisite
French brooches, on taffeta
ground, with tinsel thread CLINT
ing here and there. Machine
made tapestries have enjoyed
boom in the last year.
Arother form of tapestry
serves a useful purpose, al
though not so readily disposed
Of as the smaller pieces. This
comes by the yard, SO inches
wide, in more or less contin-
nous pattern. Aubusson tapes
tries are also seen here, that is,
