Knowing the great value as
 a field crop of Egyptian cotton,
 having spent seven years in
 Egypt where the plant is a sta
 pie, 1 have been working to get
 it introduced into Southern Ariz- Ona and 1t has proved a marked success in ArizOna'S soil and
 under Arizona's sun.
 Officials of the United States department of agriculture have had erected at SacatOn a gin for the benefit of growers in that vicinity. the gin just now being completed. Ninety acres grown in that region demonstrated
 what can be done with Egyptian cotton in that soil, demonstrated that 1t was a success in all the word means. As a result of this the farmers around Stafford have formed an association and already have signed up a total of 200 acres, with more sigma lures and more acres to come.
 In recent months the agricul- tural experts of the University of Arizona have given increased attention to experiments with Egyptian Cotton as plant for that region and their work has been interesting and will prove highly prOfita bic to the state and to Southern Arizona land own CTS. On exhibition at the head quarters of the Tucson chamber of commerce are several stalks of Egyptian cotton which is of such generous growth and of such prolific nature that any doubt one might entertain re- garding the adaptabilIty of the plant to Arizona soil would be dispelled when he takes a look at the number of bOils and the staple.
 II have deen endeavoring for. some months or longer, I may say, to see Egyptian. cotton grown in Southern Arizona, be- I knew it must prove a success. I am familiar with the Egyptian cotton industry as result of my experience with it in Egypt in growing the crop. The staple brings fancy prices and there does not seem that any region anywhere on either con- tinent can be better adapted to the growing of this, than Sou thern Arizona. I expect to see wide areas of the plant grown there before many monthS,"
 Much cotton is grown in the Salt River Valley of Arizona in the Phoenix region several gins have been running regularly since the cotton picking season began. Then to the west of Arizona the Imperial valley in Southern California has been region of cotton for some years, the | aggregate acreage being exten- sive. With cotton grown to the north of the Southern Pacific 1 territory of Arizona and west of | 1t, proves, declare the Southern | Arizona people that their region will grow cotton abundantly and | the Egyptian staple to perfec- jon.

Since that memorab ble day in history when the Pilgrim Fla thers and their families forega thered at Plymouth on New England'S bleak and barren coast and there gave reverent thanks to God for a bountiful harvest and other blessings mercifuIly bestowed, Time has wrought it's miracles. The steady march of empire has taken it's westward way; forest and plain and Ma lures mighty elements have paid tribute to Industry while state after state has joined a sisterhood making the World s greatest Nation. Youngest of all in statehood, but rich in po- tentialities is our beloved Ariz- Ona for whose accession to the privileges of sovereignty we, her citizens, are deeply grateful
 The Spirit of Progress pursues an ideal. Where there is no vision, the people perish".

 Obeying natures highest law, we are grateful to our Creator for our share in the upbuilding of this young Commonwealth; for the privilege of giving pos terity a heritage even richer than our own; for the health and hope that abide among our peo- pie; for the contentment that dWellS in our homes; for the spiritual grace that leads us in the path of rectitude; for the fla mily ties and bonds of Love that hold us true to our loftiest aims for the material prosperity that gives Srstenance to Home and Church and State.

WANT TO BAR CARS
FROM USE AT POLLS
English Political ReforIners
Would Eliminate Automobiles
from Elections

LONDON, Oct To- Drastic as are
the election laws Of England today,
certain refofmers want to draw the
net closer still. they aim most of all
to cut out the automobile as an aid
TO polling supporters.
Ever since cars have come into use
in politics there have been problems
to deal with concerning them. First
insurance companies asked an extra
premium for cars used on election
day, and when the matter was re-
ferred TO the Royal Automobile club.
the experts decided the insurance
companies were right as the cars I'M
der such conditions we're not used for
private use.
That is going to land keen politi-
clans into heavy extra expense in the
future. But the ardent political re-
formers are seeking to find some
means of eliminating most of tine cars
used, on the ground that their use Is
contrary to the spirit of the corrupt
end illegal practices prevention acts
Perhaps their object is hardly dlsin-
tefested, since the preponderance OF
cars In contests is mostly against the
Radical reformefs and on the side OF
the Conservatives.

OLD fowls require less feed than young
ones and it is mistake to Overfatten
them.
The walls and roots should be kept
fr,s from mites, which suck the Iife-blOod
If the fowls.
Cement floors should be well covered
= with straw. The bare floor ls too hard and
too cold.
After the second animal molt hens are
apt to become eggbound, especially if well
fed and fat.
When the clean, fresh eggs are gathered
they shonld be put in a clean, dry, cool
place until marketed.
plump young turkey, dressing from
eight to fifteen pounds, finds market at
almost any season ofthe year.
TO insure success have the buildings for
the heus ready early and choose fowls Of
the right age and in good condition.
A good way OF sowing some hardy pas
ture grasses is to scatter the seed on the
snow just before it nets in the spring.
The proper way to kill turkey is to
tie its feet together. hang On a pole tht n

EGGS FOR MATCHING

Care should be exercised in the selec-
ton Of eggs for incubating. They should
weigh about "a ounces to the dozen. The
shell should be smooth and free from
Jumps and ridges.
Generally speaking, the newer the egg
the better it is for Matching. Eggs will
often hatch when they are three weeks
old, but the chicks are never as
strong as those from fresh egge. Eggs in
tended for Matching should be kept in a
cool place at a temperature of about 50
degrees. They should be turned daily
until ready for the incubator or broody
hen.
Over large eggs seldom hatch, says Farm
and Home. The small egg is usually
from puIlet that has not fully matured
and should be rejected. Thin-sheled eggs
are unsafe to use, since they are liable to
be broken. The pointed egg and the
round egg should go in the egg basket.
All eggs that vary greatly from normal
shape should be rejected.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
The Value Of Fresh Air
By BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

BY BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
It Is recorded Of Methuselah,
who, being the longest liver, may
be supposed to have best pre-
served his health, that he slept
always in the open air, for when
he had lived 800 years an angel
said unto him, "Arise, Methuse-
lah and build thee an house, for
thou shalt live yet 500 years
longer" And Methuselah an
swered and said: IF am to live
but 800 years longer it is not
worth while to build me an
house. will sleep In the air as
I have been used to do" Physi-
clans, after having for ages con-
tended that the sick should be
given fresh air sparingly, have
at length discovered that it may
do them good. 1t is therefore to
be hoped that they may in time
discover likewise that It is not
hurtfuI to those that are in
health and that we may then be
cured Of the acrophobia that at
present distresses weak minds
and makes them choose to be
stined and poisoned rather than
leave open the window Of bed
chamber or put down the glass
Of a coach. Confined air, when
saturated with perspirable mat
ter, win not receive more. and
that matter must remain in our
bodies and occasion diseases.
