Too much prosperity is menacing the
Egyptian cotton industry Of the south

the Department of Agriculture The bull
letin says that the efforts of the depart
ment In the past two years to popularize
Egyptian cotton growing in the Salt
River valley have succeeded if anything
too we'll, and there is danger that this
year the ranchers will try to plant more
cotton than there Is an adequate supply
Of labor to harvest. The growers have
been preparing to put in 800 acres
The Department of Agriculture says
there Is enough Indian, Mexican and
other labor to harvest this acreage, but
that the pickers need training. and there
is danger if the crop is rushed too fast it
will get ahead of the supply of pickers
and there will be labor crisis that will
result in leaving much of the crop to go
to waste I'm the fields force the price
of picking up to the point where the crop
will be Improbable. The association of
growers is urged to restrict the aggregate
acreage this year to not more than 900.

SEVEN HOURS ENOUGH.
Physician Enjoins That Amount of
Regular Rest Nightly.

CINCINNATI. February 3.-"Seven
hours sleep is all that is necessary for
any human being. and if obtained regu-
larry in certain hours nightly will keep
the body and mind in a healthy state,
said DR.. Foertmeyer, coroner of Gin
cnnati. regarded as an authority on
criminology.
Much of the disease of today is due
to too much or too little sleep. A per-
son vino sleeps over seven hours has had
too much rest, which makes the mind
sluggish and the muscles lazy. On the
other hand. the person who has not had
sufficient sleep is mentally and physically
unfit to perform his or her duties with
that snap and vim found in persons who
have had the required rest.
Men and women VINO commit crime
as a rule are long sleepers. Their minds
grow weak from too much sleep and then
they acquire the don't care habit, which
often results in crime.
Make IT rule to sleep seven hours
and YOU will be better for it. mentally
