CROP IS
/ SHORTENED DUE
TO WATER CRISIS

The cotton crop of this year COW
ers for Imperial Valley $4,000 acres
of territory, showing an increase of
1900 acres over that Of last year,
according to B.'A. Harrigan, local
horticultural commissioner. On the
other hand the number Of bales gin.
ned this year which average $4,000
is the same as that of the fiscal
year 1923. The yield for the pres
emf year is lighter, due to the water
shortage. in the valley, and also
due to the cotton leaf perforator
which has been very active and
more destructive this year than in
any year previous in the history of
the valley.
Acala was used practically alto
gether in the first crop planted in
the valley, but since SO much of
this was destroyed, and. had to be
replanted, the amount planted now
only averages about 60 per cent.
The acreage of cotton planted in
Mexico is estimated at $4,000
acres, all of which is planted in
pure hcdid. IhlS acreage VIII prop
ably yield less than $4,000 bales.
this year, due alse to the effect of
the water shortage. 1t is interest
ing 30. note the comparative m
crease of bales ginned from last
years acreage in Mexico. The acre,
age was the same as that of 1924,
10000 acres. The yield totaled
$1,000 bales, about $4,000 bales
more than are expected to be put

Bishop William Montgomery Brown
Gallon, Ohio, may establish huge

trines which caused him to be con-
victed of Heresy here by a tribunal
of bishops of the Protestant Epis-

church based on my biblical interpre.
tations which led to my conviction
of Heresy," Brown said here.
If Browns appeal for a new
trial, filed with the Review Court
of the Church is not granted, he
will be sentenced on October
IA. tt
The charge of Heresy against
Brow nwas based on book he pub
ished in 1920 entitled "Commun-
ism and Christianism.
In the book Brown expressed dis
belief in the biblical miracles. -
He based his disbelief on scientific
discoveries, he said.
