COMPRESS IS BEING BUILT
Cattle Raisers Sell He’rds and
:-hecome Planters—Boll Weevil
5 Is Unknown.
M A cotton, compress with a capacity
ef 1,000 tons a day is being erected
at the town of Imperiai in the Im
perial Valley, California. This will be
the only ‘plant of its kind west of
Houston; ‘Pexas, and will be complet
ed by Au%\lst. The Imperiai Valléy
erop for the season just ended will
total more than 20,000 bales and has
Been sold for about $1,400,000.
~.Cotton growing in the valley has
y been going on for seven years.
e first crop was an experimental
ope and grown under the auspices of
the United States Department of Ag
rleulture. It was such a success that
& number nf’e cattle raisers in the
walley sold off their herds and turned
1o cotton, Next season it is planned
10 plant about 75,000 acres, and the
¢rop is expected to bring in ‘more
than $3,000;000.
Cattlemen Hostile to Crop.
When cotton was first intreduced
many of the Imperial Valley cattle
n were very hostile to it. They
ve since been converted. The prof
per acre made the land too. val
rble for range uses and they “got in
hind the band,” as they say out
there.
_"The Imperial Valley soll and climat"
are ideal for cotton, There 18 all the
weater that can he used, supplied by
well lh;];na‘ed irrigation works. The
sun shines the year round, and the
a.fi seems perfectly adapted to cot
t raising. The boll weeci] is not
found in California. The fertility of
Mmperial Valley soil i® remark-
J e. One of the greatest single
of cotton acreage was planted
years ago and the planter har
wested the fourth volunteer crop this
wvear and obtained about two bales
per acre. These vales were gold at
nearly $3O each, which s about the
{Bp price.
Work on Leasing Sysdtem.
The most successful plantérs work
on the leasing system. The planta
tions are leased out in ten, twenty or
fltrsm plots, and the renter shares
- balf and balf with the owner. The
experience of seven years shows that
intensive cultivation produces the
best results, and each season the
plots are reduced in size, and the
repters multiplied. The growers have
Ept perfected an organization which
called the Imperial Valley Long
#Staple Cotton Growers Association.
All the plantations are to be planted
to long staple cotton und the Gov
eérnment is backing the movement.
¥or the present, cotton of inferior
mel may be harvested, but after
year each fresh crop is expected
to be from the long staple seed.
“ It {8 estimated that the value of the
¢ottpn crops and the land and equip
ent used in handling the nulpS! this
pen was about $10,000,000.

Underwriters Plan War
On Life Insurance Tax
They Call It a Great Burden on Thrift and Prov
idence, and Cite $13,000,000 a Year
Whiech Is Paid.
War on taxation of Mfe inwtince‘
polieyholders has been dec}yfl by
the National Association.of Life Un
derwriters, The association, which is
composed of leading life Insurance
agents all over the country, has pre
pared a bulletin on this subject in
support of its contention. Edward A,
‘Woods, of Pittsburg, vice president of
the association and chalrman of the
taxation committes, who writes the
‘hulletin, says:
“This 18 America’s great burden on
thrift and providence. The taxation
of life Insurance is.a rspldl'y increas
ing evil directly affecting 28,000,000 of
our people. America alone of all goy
ernments in the world—civiljged or
heathen—so taxes life Inswurance.”
Pay $13,000,000 in Taxes. 4
The bulletin sets forth that Ameri
can life insurance policyholders pfiy
more than $13,000,000 in taxes in ad
dition to the taxes upon their real
and personal property. This amount
would have added 15 per cent te the
refunds or dividends, or it would have
purchased more than $5660,000,000 ad
ditional insurance. It would have ;rid
the salaries of all the officers of all
the companies about seven times over,
or have added about $7O to each $l,-
600 paid in death claims, or have de
creased other expenses aboul ones
geventh. The assoclation asks:
“Is providing for one's widow, chil
drenn or old age and relieving the
State of this burden so nearly a
crime as to be thus penalized?”
In preparing this bulletin for wide
spread dissemination the Life Asso
clation expressed the opinion that the
taxation evil had grown because the
tax has.been hidden. On the subject
of hiding the tax bulletin says: |
“Do polleyholders know that thelr

RALLROAD LINE
Public Ownership Project Meets
With Approval of Labor Unions.
Tulsa Hub of System.
RINGLING, OKLA. July 11.—Two
Oklaloma raflroad men, J. W. Tipton
:nd €, B. Hale, have just announced
A& completed plans for a network of
electric Interurban lines in Oklahoma,
connecting at Independence with the
Kansas electric lines to Kansas City
and at Denison, Texas, with the in
terurban to Dallas and Fort Worth.
Tipton formerly was superintend
ent of construction of the Soughern
Traction Company, of Texas, and
Hale was with the Frisco for about
five ypars. Both have been here with
the Oklahoma, New Mexico and Pa
cific Rallroad, during its construc
tion. Tipton was assistant superin
tendent. ]
These men are planning a public
ownership of the electric system and
will present immediately the full de
tails to ghe Oklahoma State Corpora
tion C6mpany. An entirely new meth
od of financing the construction is
presented.
The road is to be bullt with the
capital stock, which will be placed
with the rallway employees of the
entjre country, the idea being that
these employees will finance, own,
op?n(e and maintaln the system.
The plan has been outlined to many
prominent railroad men, including
those at most of the headquarters of
the various rallway unions, and, it is
undou!oof. has been approved. Every
effort will be made to stay away from
bonding the road and not to depend
upon tapital for any of the money.
" Following the construction none but
practical, experienced railroad men
will be employed in anyv capacity,
The present plans are to start with
a <¢apital of $15,000.000. This system
would connect Oklahoma City, Shaw
nee,” Sapulpa, Tulsa, Muskogee, Bar
tlesville, McAlester and various other
OXlahoma cities with a line north
from, Baftlesville to Independence;
south from Oklahoma City through
fll.tichaha and Lawton to Wichita

The first construction, as now in
tended, will be from Tulsa east
through Coweta, Broken Arrow and

American Expert Will Find Textile
Field Already Well
Occupied.
WASHINGTON, July 11,—Ralph M.
Odell, an expert on cotton textile
matters, who has been sent by the
Secretary 6f Commerce to the Orient
Indlan Straits settlements, Java, Su
matra. French Indo-China, Australia
and New Zealand, to study markets
for cottor. textiles with a view to pro
moting interests of the industry, will
find this field already occupled.
He will find England and the Con
tinent on one hand, with Chinese cot
ton mills at Shanghai and elsewhere
in China in close competition. Thege
last mills use India cotton for raw
material, but produce, for the most
part, cheap goods. Japan, using large
quantities of American cotton and
with cheap and exceptionaly. intelli
gent labor, is really the great compet
itor for the textile fabric trade of the
China seas, as well as for the busi
ness of Australla and New Zealand,
though, of course, England still large
ly monopolizes this t;ade.
American business” with the Orient
in cotton fabrics has yet to be devel
oped. It has to be carried on in for
elgn vessels, thanks to 'America’s
bunglirig of shipping laws.
The Panama Canal will open the
Far East, as well as the western coast
of South America, to the textile trade
of America. What is required now is
a thorough knowledge of the reguire
ments of that trade and the neces
sarxv credite. This Information Mr.
0Odé&1l is expected to secure in con<
junction with Amerigan Consuls.
The establishment of branch banks
by American finarclers will vastly
promote the enterprise’ of American
spinners and merchants in advaneing
the textile business with the’ coun

Ford Plant Runs on
Full Force Again
Recent Laying-Off Merely “Weeding-
Out” Process, It {
© s Bald.
DETROIT, July 11.—The Ford Mo
tor Company, which recently created
a stir by laying off several thousand
men, is pow running full time, with
13,000 men employed. according to a
statement made to-day by Superin
’ tendent John R. Lee. By full time is
meant a full day force, night shifts
' being regarded as overtime.
‘} Mr. Lee also gAve a new explana
tion of the laying off 30 days ago. He
sald it was simply a weeding out of
the ineffciént. and indolent. Thou
sands of the men Mr. Ford hired last
winter, he added, proved to be inca
pable or too lazy, but recelved every
opporiunity to make good, being kept
on the payrolls for months.
Mr. Lee also said that Mr. Ford has
taken on thousands of men in an ef
fort to provide woérk for the unem
ployed as part of his plan to ald.
workers. ‘
“The maljority, we found, had no|
value in our plant, and had no value
to other employers,” Mr. Lee sald.
There is no direct coamnection. be
tween the resumption of full time and
the invitation of President Wilson to
Mr. Ford for a conference. Bui it is
not doubted that Mr. Ford will be
able to give the President much in
formation concerning actual condi
tions of the labor market, especially
the employment of foreign Jabor, as
well as the business situation.
Girl Can Make 1,200
Cigars a Day Now
Holland Has New Machine That
Almost Does
It AN,
A device rfor making cigars by ma
chinery has recently been: plnced’ upon
the market in Amsterdam, Holland.
It performs mechanically the various
processes of assembling the filler,
rolling the wrapper, and finally fash
ioning the tip. :
It is claimed that the machine is so
simple in operation that boys or girle
of 15 can be taught to turn out cigars
with its aid in wonderfully short
time. It can be operated either by
foot pedals or by electric motor or
other power. Two operatives are re
quired to each machine, one to feed
the filler tobacco into the form, and
the other to guide the wrapper and
operate the levers, but it {s asseried
that they can turn eut from 900 to
1,200 cigars in a working day of ten
hours.
A further claim is made that the
device effecis a 2 saving in the gquanti
ty of tobacco used, all waste being
obviated, and streses i{s laid upon the
sanitary character of the cigars pro
duced. It is also sald that the' ma
chine has no delicate parts to get out
of order or to Quickly wear down, so
that the necessity for repairs is re
duced to a minimum, while d® the
various parts‘are interchangeable, the
same machine can he used in making
cigars of various shapes and sizes.

HOGS AT TWO CENTS :
IS the remarkable headlines 6f an article opening in the current
issue of The Country Gentleman, which was contributed b’y'i
Hon. Charles E. Hoke. The writer very ably sets forth the many
advantages of raising hogs in the South. He cites the fact of
the item of saving in the cost of gvinter housing—there being
no necessity for such in this‘g'ectior He makes the striking re
mark that ‘‘so long as the Solithern ‘farmer continues to send
his money out of the State for poéfi,md other food products,
the control of the cotton market will be out_of his hands. Under
present conditions the larger part of.the.cotton crop must be
sold as soon as it is gathered in order to mect debts for supplies
contracted while it was being produced, pork prominent among
them, whereas practically all the pork could have been produced
at home with very little extra labor, ;
He attacks the prevailing argument that the South can not
compete with pork producers of the West on account of the dif
ference in the cost of corn, by showing that the South has an
abundance .of other and cheaper concentrates. The cost of one
hundred pounds gain has been determined by. actual feeding
tests. The results of those experiments follow : . bus
“‘Corn alone. $7.63; corn two-thirds, plus.cottonseed meal
one-third; $5.75; corn nine-tenths, plus tankage one-tenth, $5.18;
corn one-half, plus cowpeas one-half, $5.11; corn plus peanut
pasturage, $3.20; corn plus sorghum pasturage, $11.90; ‘corn two
thirds, plus cottonseed meal, plus sorghum pasturage, $7.79;
carn plus chufa pasturage, $8.89; corn plus soy-bean pasturage,
$2.74; corn two-thirds, plus cottonseed meal one-third, plus soiled
sorghum, $4.86; corn two-thirds, plus cottonseed meal one-third,
plus peanut pasturage, $2.14."’ el AR o
Now, compare the cost of corn-fed hogs with the latter
ration. Doesn’t ‘that convince you of the big opportunity th‘at‘
awaits every farmer in the South? What are you going to do
about it? Continue in the old rut of growing cotton, cotton,
cotton, and perhaps raising a few hogs in an aneconomical and
inefficient way? Assuredly not. 22 |
