HELP JAPAN

The response to the appeal tor
aid to Japan should be quick
and generous. Five million do!-
lars has been set as Americas
minimum contribution. That
amount will be easily raised. Ne
hope it will double or treble that
amount.
No nation on earth has a
broader sympathy for unfofu-
nate people than has America.
No nation is so able to give sub
stan.ial aid. After the San
Francisco earthquake Japan was
the first nation to offer help. We
have not forgotten that. In aid
ing Japan we have not only the
privilege of aiding stricken peo-
pie. but the opportunity is much
broader. The hurcheS of this
country for many years have been
preaching Christianity in Japan
Practical sympathy from great
Christian nation to a people
overtaken by a gigantic Gala mity
cannot but impress the japanese
and give them a better apprecl
alton of Christianity. We have
Furthermore an opportunity t.
cement all enduring friendship
with the great japanese nations
friendship which will mean mucl
to both nations and to the world
The American Red Cross ha'
been officially designated as thu
national agency to receive fund
for ia panese relief. Your con
tribution will be protected ant
will be used to the best advan
tage, We know the people o
this community will do thel
part. 1t would be splendid to d.

Poitlers' Powder Puffs,

Poitiers was famous in days gone
by for the great victory over the
French when the Black Prince took
King John Of France a prisoner, and
waited on him as his guest. But Poi
tiers is best known today for its
geese, which have the purest white
feathers of any species, and their
skins are readily transmitted into
"fur." 1t is mainly from the soft plum
age Of these birds that powder puffs
are made. The whiteness Of the feath-
er is attributed to bathing in the To-
cal waters, which contain salts Of 18th
ia. Humber parts of the goose's ward
robe become busting brushes, tooth
picks, and other unheroic but useful
wares. The goose farmers of Poitiers,
have bred geese for centuries mainly
on account Of their skins and down.

Obeying The Motor Rules
Cumberland (Md.) Times.

Cumberland (Md.) Times.
All along the motor roads and
through the cities and towns
through which the main lines of
travel pass. notices are erected
advising and ordering automobile
drivers how to run their cars.
They are told that 10, Is, ~
miles an hour, or other figures is
the speed limit for that particul-
ar locality.
A large part of the motoring
public, perhaps the majority, pay
little or no attention to these
signs. The drivers push ahead
at Just the same rate they were
going anyway.
1t is so difficult to get exact
evidence concerning the speed at
which cars are operated, that the
great majority of such violations
go unpublished. However their is
increased activity on the part of
police authorities. A very con-
siderable number Of motorists
are compelled to go into court
aud pay fines for the exercise of
their little pasttime,
These regulations were not
posted by local authorizes for
the purpose of annoying travel
lerS, or as the result of fussy
fears. They have been put up
because the fast driving of cars
has become great nuisance.
A lso there is constant success
sion of accidents, many of them
serious and terrible, resulting
from such reckless operation, |
AS a rule the regulations are
sensible, and do not interfere
undulv with the interest of the
touring public.
1t would seem only fair that
such notices should be faith
fully obeYed. 1t shows a rather
mean spirit when visitor comes
into a place to which lie con-
tributes nothing other than per-
IIsps buying few supplies, and
makes free use of their roads in
wars contrary to the sentiment
of the inhabitants, and which
involves peril. 1t is not merely
common sense TO obey these
local motor regulations. but by
so doing one avoids many chanc-
es of accident. 7

COTTON GROWERS STRONG FOR
USING PURE COTTON. SEED OF
One VARIETY; FAVOR ACALA

According to Farm Advisor f. l..
Garthwaite, who was present at tho
recent meeting of the Magnolia
Mulberry Farm Center, big step
forward the stabilizing of Imperial
Valleys cotton industry was taken
when number of cotton growers
who were present came out strong
ly in favor of the growing of y
single variety of cotton.
At this meeting, at which about
80 people were present, s. II. Atkins
was selected TO act as president and
Charles Smith as secretary of 6.
temporary cotton growers associa-
ton. This organization, it is hoped,
will form nucleus around which
other growers OF cotton through the
county can gather until a real as
soeiation can be formed, with the
aid of the Farm Bureau, for cooper
ative grading, CHASING and selling
of cotton.
Among the speakers taking part
IN the discussion of various phases
Of the cotton question were c. A.
Bells, trainee instructor at the
Erawley Unio, High school, who
strongly emphasized the value of
using only pure cotton seed, and
mentioned the advantages Of one
variety, and Farm Advisor Garth
waite who told of cotton growing
in the Coachella valley.
"No Better Seed
Strongly recommending Aeala
cotton and telling Of the practical
manner in which growers and tne
government experts have eooperated
to improve the cotton industry of
that locality, Garthwaite made Il
! rong plea foI the planting of
one variety only. "No finer cot
TON seed is produced in the United
States,' was his statement regard
ing Acala, and while he admitted
that there were other varieties as
good, he recommended this particu.
larly on account Of the available
supply Of pure seed.
II. H. Clark Of Calexico, whose
name is prominently connected with
many big cotton deals. and who is
Chairman Of the cottcn committee
Of the Associated Chambers Of Com

Telling of the practical advan.
tages which have been gained by
growers below the line by means
of organization, and also boosting
for Acala, Clark declared that big
acreage of A.ala had been grown
this season. The price netted from
this variety, nc stated, was from
one to two cents more per pound
tLan was Offered for either Mebane
or Lone Star. AS Clark is a prac-
steal cotton man of wide experience,
those who heard him speak felt that
his opinion was a decided weight.
Acala Boosters
Others boosting the planting of
ore variety were Philo Jones, Vie
tor Sterling and L. f. Lincoln. The
latter stated that, in spite of the
fact that he could get gin run
seed for two cents per pound, he
had paid six cents per pound fo,
Acala to plant 200 acres, so 'hot
= might have pure seed of goo
type.
Another booster for Acala was
Pete Raines of Brawley who, after

grew before.' I naddition to ere
ating 4 local interest in soil fertili-
ty work.
Splendid Work Done
The committee, through the fine
work of Scott and his assistants
has interested outside authorities in
making analyses, and the following
statements from DR.. Snowden s re
cent report are here given for the
information of those interested in
this important subject:
Imperial Irrigation District wat
er samples from two determinations
shows chlorine, 1906 parts per mil.
lion; bicharbonate, (HCO-3) 1880
parts per million. This mean of
the Colorado River water taken at
Yuma for the year 1905, according
to the u. s. Reclamation service is
chlorine, 1926 parts per million, bi.
carbonate, 233.3l parts per million
"Other impurities are not import
ant from the standpoint of danger to
agriculture. According to Hilgard
this water is within the limit Of
safety for irrigation purposes.
80 far as l have examined the
soils of the valley, your worst ele.
ment Of troubleis chlorine, but under
prevailing conditions with you it is
of relatively small moment. In the
first place, it is in combination
chiefly as calcium chloride, the least
harmful of its compounds. In the
second in this form it is readily driv
en- from place to place by suitable
handling of irrigation water as seen
in its accumulation on old alfalfa
borders. Because of this facility OF
movement it may be readily elimi-
mated by means of sub-drainage in.
to your drainage ditches.'
The soil analysis submitted by DR..
Snowden will be printed in a later
issue of the Press.
