FOUR ACRES OF LAND
 SEVEN BALES COTTON
Thompson Bros. Appear so far to Have Record for Cotton Pro
 duction in Mesa Section

When the proposition to plant cot ton in the Mesa country was first broached, the Thompson Brothers sat up and took notice. They are from the cotton belt of the south and have had lot of experience in cotton growing. When the result of the Ex- perimental farm at Sacaton was made known to them, they concluded to give the Egyptian variety a test on small scale. They planted four acres to. cotton. using their own Knowledge, obtained by actual ex- perience, as to planting and culti- VatiOn. Their cotton thrived and now they have the crop gathered and glnned From the four acres they have seven bales of fine Egyptian cotton, and there is yet a small amount left. Almost two bales to the acre; and the bales run over 500 pounds each. Seven bales at the prevailing price should bring over seven hundred dollars. Deducting all expenses this would mean consider ably more than $1OO profit per acre.
 As a matter of fact, there has been heard no complaint from any of the growers as to the cotton crop this year. The lowest yield reported means in excess of $50 clear profit per acre, and that is not bad, when 1t is understood that many of the planters were inexperienced and have had every detail to learn. The success of the industry this season means that there will be many hun drcds of acres planted to cotton next year. and that the industry appears to have come to stay
