evidence of a crop exceeding the
total Imperial Valley crop of last
year. AS the crop as whole is
materially ahead of last year, it
should be ready for market pro-
badly ten days earlier than usual,
thus avoiding the bad effects Of a
freak hot spell or early frost.
The cotton market continued to
decline through the first three
weeks of May, losing over 3 cents,
but toward the end of the month
suddenly exhibited a decided sharp
upward turn, which has regained
most Of the lost ground.
Shortage Of Labor ....
Reports from various sections of
the Pacific Southwest indicate that
during the next few months there
will be shortage Of skilled labor,
affecting nearly all classifications,
and increasing until about August
or September, when the seasonal in
flux of Eastern labor will bring re-
lief. However, the situation has
not assumed general proportions,
and is only noticeable in the build
ing trades and farming occupations.
The local harbor strike of the
longshoremen and seamen, which
reached it's heighth during May has
virtually ended. Shipping men
state that conditions are normal ex-
cept for a slight shortage Of sea-
men and firemen.
Banking is Normal
The general banking situation
continues normal. Banks are show
ing an increasing tendency to
scruEnize loans carefully to prevent
initiation in commercial credits, al
though funds are available for legi-
innate operation in satisfactory
quantities. .
Agricultural communities are
feeling the seasonal demand for
credit with which to prosecute
production. The increasing mobili-
| ty of bank credit in California, re-
sulting from Inter Community
Banking, is creating an easier cred
it situation in agricultural commu-
| mites than would otherwise exist.
Interest rates are practically sta
tionary and deposits are tending
slightly upward, in spite Of the sea-
| sonal lull in agricultural communi-
ties.
Imperial Valley Outlook
The cotton outlook appears very
favorable. The stand is excellent,
the plants healthy, and the crop is
two to three weeks ahead Of last
year. The movement of cantaloupcs
has begun, reports indicating Il crop
of good quality. Tomatoes are
now shipping, although on u weak
| market. Retail sales somewhat t
above last year, and collections,
while still slow, have shown some
Improvement. No difficulty is an
ticipated with transportation prob
lens. Bank deposits report slight
| increase and Il greater degree of
lliquidity i'll commercial loans is in
| dicated.

100000 Car. in 1925?

Three hundred motor cars were
registered in the United States in
1895. In 1925, thirty years after,
the number will be in excess of 49,
100000.
This is not a prophecy, but a
continuation of a table of registra-
tions. In the ten years from 1913
to date. the table of motor car reg
istrations, in hundrea thousands,
reads as follows: IL, II, "a, 35, 81,
81, 70, 81, 104, 1913.
1t is hardly prophecy to say that
the next two years will show figures
of lao and 100 hundred thousand,
or 100000 and 100000 cars
registered.
1t is inevitable that these cars
have more and more good roads to
run upon. If this number of
wheeled vehicles congest our few
hundred thousand miles of good
roads, it is obvious that greater
number will compel more and more
hard-surface highways.
Opposition to good roads comes
from two sources; the ignorance of
taxpayers, who think that the bond
issue or the road tax represents out
go, instead of the means of in
creased income, and politicians, who
desire pork barreP national legis-
lation in order to get votes, rather
than money to be spent upon roads.
Both classes of opposition are
slowly but surely being steam roll
cred out of existence, with the
automobile in the roll of steam
