RESEARCH FOR
VALLEY COTTON
CROPS SOUGHT

In movement to again make I'm
perial Valley large producer of
cotton, the El Centro chamber of
commerce has asked F. d. Richey,
chief of the bureau of plant indus
try of the United States Department
Of Agriculture to cooperate in find
ing a suitable variety of plant for
this area.
In accordance with Richey's re.
quest, the Ell Centro chamber of
commerce has communicated with
Frank G.. Beyschlag, Imperial coun-
ty farm advisor, asking him to bring
the matter of improved cotton pro-
duction to the attention of the spe
cialists at the University of Califor-
mia at Berkeley.
In order for cotton to again be-
come a success in Imperial Valley
it is necessary that either a new cot
ton variety be developed or some
seed found in some other area which
will yield an average of bale to
the acre in this locality.
Inasmuch as Chief Richey has
offered to cooperate to the extent
of funds and personnel in any con-
structive effort that may be made
to improve cotton production in
Imperial Valley, it is hoped that
with the added cooperation of Frank
BeySchlag and the University of
California, successful results may be
obtained from these experiments.

mystification of Vera Cruz shipping

Now, informants believe, the de-
lay is explained-an order to await
the munitions shipment.
1t is understood that the Magal-

York on another ship and that the
Magallanes will be sent direct to
Barcelona Or Valencia, on the east
coast of Spain.
If that proves to be the case the
liner may have to run blockade in

that there was nothing extraordi-
nary in the visits.
The ambassador refused to COM
ment, either to affirm or deny, the
report that the war munitions ave
on the way to his government. The
war department said it was entirely
unaware of the shipment.
Reports are that the Spanish en-
bassy bought the materials here for
shipment to the Spanish govern
ment.
Informants believe the shipment
means the Mexican government is
expressing in practical nature its
sympathy with the loyalist Spanish
government, expressed by other
means ever since the start of the
revolt.
The shipments which left here
would total more than 1,440 tons
2,880,000 fundS-based on an aver
