Looking for Better Cotton.

Next to corn, cotton is one of the
most important crops to the entire
country. 1t is valuable and important,
chiefly because it is essentially a
money crop, bringing into the south
ready cash for Ri classes of business.
The value of the cotton crop from sea-
son to season will run between $780,
100000 and $700,0O0,00O.
There has been no general awaken
ing in the matter of producing high
grade cottonseed such as has occurred
in connection with the production of
corn. Here and there throughout the
south, however, are individual farmers
who have been for years making a
special effort to improve their types Of
cotton. These men have been quite
successful, and have developed for
their own use and for dissemination
among their neighbors cottonseed
very much superior to that ordinarily
used.
This crop is grown over such wide
extent Of territory and the soil and
many sorts will have to be produced
in order to meet the requirements for
the highest production.
The national department Of agrieul.
ture and the state agricultural depart
ments and stations are endeavoring to
educate the cotton-growers In the mat
ter of improving their types OF cotton
by seed selection similar to that out
Aned for the production Of high-grade
corn. Cotton is more amenable to i'm.
provement than almost any other
crop. BY few years OF judicious Sc
lection the yield can be not only in.
creased, but the length. strength and
general quality Of the fiber can be
greatly improved.
Cotton is produced in many other
parts of the world. but America
stands, and will in all probability con-
tinue to stand, pre-eminent in grow.
ing this great crop.-Youth's Com.
panion.

PLEA FOR MORE FEED CROPS.
An Abundance Means the Raising Of
Stock That viii Make Farmer
Independent.

The Farmers Union News Of Geor~
gia gives some sound advice to it,
readers along lines for raising forage
and feed crops, and as what Is good
for Georgia is good for Texas It Is
published In the Co-Operator for the
benefit of diversifiers in the union and
out:
ANY farm In the south can be made
to grow two crops of hay during the
year; one crop in winter and one In
summer. On the Piedmont lands,
oats, rye, barley, wheat and crimson
pastures and furnish a spring cutting
of hay. OF these crops there is per-
haps the most money in oats. Oats
usually make a better winter pasture
and furnish more hay for the spring
cutting than tho. other crops. Good
crops in this section for summer pas
lures are the COW peas, sorghum, soy
bean and Bermuda grass. Along the
coastal plain or sandy lands, oats and
vetch give excellent winter pastures
and spring hay crops, and the cow
pea, soy bean, peanut and sorghum.
In the extreme south the velvet bean
will furnish an abundance of hay or
pasture during summer
ITO get the best results from these
crops keep enough cows and hogs to
harvest the summer crops of pea
vines, and sorghum, peanuts, ETC., in
the fall fattening their stock for mar
ket. Enough hay must be saved
either in the spring or fall to keep the
breeding stock over winter.
Let us begin now to make stock
feed, continue next summer to make
stock feed Double your efforts next
fall to secure sufficient food for your
cattle, horses and hogs. Put forth
every effort in winter to have all the
good, sweet, digestible hay that your
stock can use. An abundance of good
feed means good stock and the man
who owns an abundance of good
stock and plenty to feed them on is in
dependent Co-Operator.

Ideal Seed Corn.

At this time of the year all corn
growers will be interested in good
seed. When one selects corn he should
be able to really know q good ear Of
corn when he sees 1t. The following
description should enable the careful
observer to make good selections:
Authorities have decided that the
best form for an ideal ear should be
as near cylinder as possible. 1t
should be about ten inches long and
about seven inches in circumference,
or at least this ratio should be as near
parallel as possible. and the grains
should grow wen over the tip and
butt. The grains should be wedge
shape, and their length should be at
least twice their width. The cob
should be small, from 81 to 90 per
cent. of an ear of corn should be
grain. In yellow corn the cob should
be red, and in white corn 1t should be
white. If one desires his corn to
have high protein contents the germ
Of heart should be large. If meal is
to be made the white or starchy end
should be large. The grains should
be firm on the cob, and the ear should
be firm, solid and heavy. The grains
of the dent varieties will be more or
less wrinkled on the outer tip, other
wise the surface of the ear should be
smooth and glossy. A dead color
usually indicates low vitality.

Work on New County Jail to Be Begun at Once-Fin-

The county lot just east of the court house was cleared of Instructions yes terday, preparatory to the erection of the new county jail, and as the result, the work of excavating for the founda- tions of the new building will be com menced today.
 The Globe Brick & Construction com pany has been awarded sub-contract for the erection of the entire building, with the exception of the steel cells, which will be put in by the Pauly Jail Building company, to which the original contract was awarded, some time ago.
 II. J. Mann of the Globe Brick & Con- sbrueti0n company stated yesterday that the building would probably be completed ready for the installation of the steel cells, by the first of February.
 It is probable that another concrete mixer, similar to that now in use by that company, will be secured within a short time, in order to facilitate the work of erecting the new bastile.
 The foundation of the new building will be completed within two weeks, in all probability, but it will be at least month before work on the main part of the structure will commence, as it will require that time to secure the

LOCAL TEACHERS ID MEET TODAY AT
 CENTRAL
Preparing for Trip to Ter ritorial Institute at
 Phoenix Soon

For the purpose of taking up mat ters pertaining to the coming terri torial teachers institute,. to be held at Phoenix during fair week, the teachers of this city will hold a meet ing at Central school at o'clock this morning.
 It is probable that number of mat ters of interest will be taken up, with the result that the meeting will be interesting.
 The coming institute promises to be one of the best and most largely at tended ever held in the territory. It is estimated that nearly 600 teachers will be in attendance and as many good speakers have been arranged for, the session will be both instructive and interesting.
 President w. w. Parsons of the In. diana State Normal school will deliver a number of interesting addresses. Miss Gail II. Cameron, supervisor of primary work at Fort Wayne, Indiana, will have charge of the primary work at the institute. She is highly recon mended and her addresses will be well worth hearing.
 That much interest is being manifest in the coming institute is shown by the following expressions from differ ent superintendents and principals throughout the territory:
 "We will advise our teachers to at tend the teachers association at Phoe- nix. "-County Superintendent R. C. Smith, Holbrook.
 "It is our intention to attend the Arizona teachers association. Sup erintendent w. E. Lutz, Douglas.
 "I hope to have and expect good delegation from Globe city schools. <" Superintendent F. D. Smith.
 "Gila county will have a good dele gatioin of teachers. ''-County Superin. tendent Kellner, Globe.
 ''Our teachers will all be on hand and several of us will be over on Sun day. '-Superintendent c. F. Phil brook, Bisbee.

Supervisors Will Put Check on Paying Good Dollars

 EACH THREE MONTHS
Warrants for Over $2,000 Paid for Counties in
 Single Day

After the close of business on next Friday, no bounty hides will be receiv. ed at the office of the county board of supervisors until five days before the next quarterly meeting, which will be held shortly after the first of the year
 This action was taken by the county fathers in an effort to check the con, stant influx of skunk hides into the court house and the equally constant drain on the county treasury, by req son of the large amount of money paid out in bounties.
 It is believed that by accepting hides at intervals of three months, instead of every day, as has been the case in the past, that the number of bounty skins brought in will be decreased fully 50 per cent.
 Out of fairness to trappers, how ever, this ruling will not be put into effect until after next Friday.
 Warrants were drawn for over $2,00( in bouties yesterday, the big propor tion of this amount being for skunk hides.
 Lot l0Ol at Miami, opposite the site of the passenger depot, was purchased yesterday as the site for new jail in the new townsite. It is expected that small jail building will be erect ed on this lot within a short time.

 Arrangements were made, during the day, to purchase trees and shrubbery for the new county hospital. As soon as the rainy season sets in, land scape gardening will be taken up which should materially improve tn, appearance of the grounds within the next few months.
 The board will probably be in sessior again today, as the work this month has been unusually heavy.
