iy not see anything very iaudable about the same practice on the part of a man who was fool enough to raise hogs. Let n be supposed that Mir. Lamar was about to purchase some spuds from Farmer Brown and let 1t be supposed that Mir. Lamar caught Farmer Brown telephoning 10 "LHer Jones. hts competitor in the sale. in the voice of Mr. Lamar. that MT. La mar had decided to buy the spuds of Farmer Brown and would not look al the spuds of Jones. What would Mir. Lamar say? Why. he would just nay that Farmer Brown was a thief and man who descended to mean and cOntemptible practices.
 In performing the same trick hm- self Mir. Lamar considers il the right and proper thing. He believes that in financial deals in Wall Street what would be con,emptible on Jersey farm would be perfectly justtiable. and the strangest part of is that he is probably right. Not that the act iD itself is right but in practicing such a trick Mir. Lamar would be meeting his opponents with the same weapons This does not keep the act from being despicable and thievng but it makes it just carrying oil the business of thieves with thieves by thievery.
 The statement of Lamar shows more clearly than thousand volumes the point of view of financiers in Wall Street and from showing it there may come some good.

DEVEL LOPMENT OF> COTTON INDUSTRY
 IN RICH LANDS IF MESA REGION
Much of the Success Which Has Been Attained Has Been the Result of Organization and Cooperation Description of the Plant of the South Side Associations

Everyone knows that the Egyptian cotton industry has made marvellous strides in the salt River valley the past season, and that while just a year ago it was generally regarded only as a fairly successful experimental crop, it now occupies a position in the front rank of the valleys most important and valuable product A year ago the total acreage of Egyptian cotton in the whole United States was practically but
 one tenth of the acreage raised in Salt
 River valley this season. This years
 success practically assures the planting
 of a still larger acreage in 1914 and
 those in a position to iInoW estimate
 thirty to forty thousand acres at least will be grown next year. This years returns from the 35C0 acres planted are figured at $350,0O0. no. small sum n itself, and still only an indication of what this king of crops may bring to this community.
 Gins have been established at Glen dale, Phoenix and Mesa, that of Mesa being not only the largest in the val ley, but the largest in the United States being equipped with ten Io!att gins, and
 
 The Mesa country has won f&me in many ways, not only by selling it's de licious contcIoupes for record prices, but has even sent it's fine herds of dairy cattle to the big eastern fairs and stockshoWs anu brought home many a blue ribbon Now it has put another feather in it's cap by constructing and operating a cotton gin of record size. D, II, special equipment was necessary. the distributor which carries the seed-cot- ton to the gins being twice longer than any previously built by the big Texas company which makes a speciality of outfitting such plants
 The cotton planters of the Mesa dis trict realizing the benefits that CO., operation makes possible. organized the Mesa Egyptian Cotton Exchange. which includes of loo Well-known farmers as its members. This exchange, through it's members raised 1900 acres of cot ton this year, and will market about 1900 bales of the ginned product. At this time, $50 bales have been ginned and the second picking has but begun For a time the seed cotton came in much faster than it could be handled and not only was the storehOuse full but the big yard was full of wagons waiting for the suction un1oader to re- lieNc them of their valuable burden Guy AttaWay. the efficient manager of the gin, had previously had several years experience in cotton ginning in the old south, and although the Egyp- ton longfibre cotton offers many new problems in handling, the Mesa gin has

create a sinking fund of $5O.OOO a wear to pay off at the end of the tIventy-year term with the decreasing interest.
 Now let us see what the increased assessed valuation would be from building these reads. I do not be- ieve on abutting property it could be less than thirty per cent or anyway an average increase of thirty dollars ztn acre. Unfortunately not all this proposed road system runs through settled portions of the county but We will say that fifty miles of the first class does.
 By abutting property l mean the same acreage half q mile in depth on either side of the road, making GAO acres to the linear mile. Thirty times GAO would be $1920 or in round num- bers an increase of $1,000, 900. The next half mile in depth would be benefited at least half as much or Cne-half million dollars. This abutting property would pay a greater share of the taxes as it properly should. The rest of the country and the property on the lesser roads would probably derive as much increase al together as the abutting property.
 And who can estimate the increase in the cities and towns from these

paved streets, which I'm sure you will all concede is a success, said Mir. Heard.
 The Building.
 The actual building operations must be carried on under the direction of the most competent engineers. This was q strong point. Maricopa is going to have good work on it's roads, and a dollars worth of them for every dollar it spends. The reports of no one man will be accepted blindly, but will be carefully checked up The board of su pervisOrs will be backed up strongly in it's part in the administration of the road work. It was suggested that in case everything goes through. as planned, the board set aside separate offices and a separate clerical force to take care of the office work accom- panying the road building.
 When all these points had been thor oughly discussed, the meeting chose through it's chairman a committee on resolutions-a committee which will have on it's shoulders the work of boil ing down the ideas of the delegates in to concise resolutions, on which action can be based. This committee, which is composed of Lin Orme, chairman: J. J. Casey, J. G. Spangler, Dwight B. Heard, Eugene Brady O'Neill, T. N Clanton and w. G. Hartranft, got busy immediately with a stenographer, drafting rough forms of the resolutions. It's report will be made in full this morning at 10, when the delegates will meet for the second days work.
 In adjourning the meeting, Chairman Orme spoke briefly impressing on eV- eryone the necessity of returning, and staying with the work until it is fin ished. He told how long MaricOpa had been without roads fit to be called such in the English of this progressive age, and urged that but a few hours of the delegates time would be sufficient to insure the success of this big project.

quarters at Mesa, has supplied over 2GO pickers this season, and says many more will be available next year. The Indians themselves raised 150 acres of cotton in 1912, 300 this year and will have over 800 in 1914. The various cotton associations of the valley have united in the Salt River Valley Egyp- tfan Cotton Growers association, which did some very effective work the past summer in advertising through the cot ton districts of the old south for cot ton pickers As a result it is known that over 300 people have already come to the valley in direct response to the advertising, many of them bringing stock and household goods with them These newcomers are a very desirable class of farmers, all of them practical cotton growers, and it is to the best interest of all land owners to make every effort to keep these people here Many of them will wish to lease lands for cotton growing this coming season, and those who have the best interests of the cotton industry at heart are making every effort 10 see that these newcomers may secure land on the most favorable terms. The phenomenal returns that many cotton growers have
 yon make some shOrt-sighted land owners feel that now is the time to boost rents. If there is any one thing that will make our lands more val uable, and hasten the settlement and intensive cultivation of this valley, it is the success of the Egyptian cotton industry

already established a record for con- tfnuous satisfactory work. s. ". J. ! Bowen. the engineer of the plant. also | deserves commendation for his work in installing the machinery and keeping everything in o. K. condition. MT. At taWay. the manager, is also the largest individual cotton grower in the eX- change having one hundred acres this season.
 Every process at the gin is an inter- esting one from the time the cotton is
 sucked from the wagons, to the time it
 is baIed It is first carried to the clean-
 ing and distributing box, and then fed
 down to bins directly over each stand or gin, where it is fed by hand into the
 gin itself. The seed falls below and is gathered up and conveyed by suction
 to the seed storage house. So far the cotton is running from 26 to B per cent lint. which means that from 1500 to 1700 pounds of seed cotton is needed to produce one 800 pound bale.
 Later on an oilmi1 will be built, but on account of the very heavy demands that will be made next season for the Mesa cotton seed which is recognized to be of extra fine grade the bulk of this years seed will be kept for that purpose. The balance has already been contracted for by the Arizona Egyptian Cotton Co, of Phoenix at $22. 50 per ton this favorable price having been se cured because of the quality and quan- tity of the seed that the Mesa exchange was able to offer.
 The growth of the cotton industry in the Mesa district is well indicated by the two accompanying illustrations, one showing the present plant and the other the building used last season. In 1912 125 bales were pressed in Mesa and three whole cars, and one half car were shipped from that point. Phoenix shipped it's first car of Egyptian cot ton last Saturday and it was inadvert- ently stated that this was the first car load to leave the valley. but here again. the Gem city holds the record. w. H. Knox, the hardWorking secretary of the Mesa organization. says that 10000 acres will be Mesa's share in the cot ton acreage next year.
 It will be remembered that last spring many feared that the. most serious handicap to the success of the cotton Industry would be a lack of pickers. Fortunately for several reasons. con ditions in this respect have worked out very satisfactorily. and even with the tremendous increase that is to come next year. it is confidently felt that the picking question will give no trouble. It is interesting to note that the In dians are generally regarded as the best pickers, many of them having had previous experience at Sacaton. Indian Labor Agent F. C. Santeo, with head

 Indeed it seems to me we are very modest to consider only one million dollar issue when the returns would be almost as great in propor- tion for two millions"
 After brief discussion of some of the matters raised by MT. Orme the following committee on permanent organization and order of business as named: John D. Loper, Dwight B. Heard and J. G. Slangler, of Mesa. While the committee was preparing it's report the discussion was con- tinued. Eugene Brady O'NeilI. with q copy of the engineers report in his hand, said that he would oppose the construction of concrete road tWenty-four feet wide, such as had been recommended between Phoenix and Six Points, or the construction of a dirt road out of the proceeds of the bonds
 J. J, Casey, though not favoring viceable road could be made of caliche or gravel. It was not his understanding that the engineers had

lengthy talk with the president of the Woman's club and before they would rermit her to return to her hotel she had to promise to return to Williams in the near future.
 Frank Reed Sanders, the Mesa cattle breeder was the last speaker on the program His topic was @The Place of Live Stock on a Dry Farm. - He spoke for over an hour and in part said:
 Every rancher operating dry farm may find it to his advantage to keep one or more dairy cows. h the more mountainous sections where the feed is short, climate severe. the Ayrshire COW will be found especially adapted for this purpose. The Jersey and Guernsey cows will come next in turn in importance
 On account of the necessity of good teams it will be found practical to keep some brood mares and raise q heavier type of horses than there is at present in this section of Arizona.

The Salt River valley with it's deep rich soil, it's year around growing cli- mate, and unrivaled water supply, all most favorable for the cultivation of Egyptian cotton, has an opportunity to produce and market in large quantities long fibre cotton, such as no other district in the world offers. w. T. Swingle of the bureau of plant industry, connected with the United States de- partment of agriculture, says that samples of Mesa cotton which he has examined, are superior to the best pro- duct of the Nile Valley. Not only is the cotton now being raised of a su- perior garde, but it is known that by careful selection and application of the principles of plant breeding and muta- ton that a still finer fibre may be ob- tained with a length possibly of two inches. To maintain the high standard and good reputation of Salt River val ley cotton it is imperative that no short staple cotton be grown here for 1t is known that the quality and length of fibre of the Egyptian cotton may be seriously effected by the presence of short staple in the same locality, al- though the fields may be separated by a distance of over a mile.
 The Republican is indebted to w. s. Dorman of the Wilbur Realty Co, of Mesa for the photograph of the old plant Mir. Dorman is president of the Mesa Cotton Exchange and from the very beginning has been one of the hardest workers for the success of the in 6IIc+yx-
Arizona republican., 1913-11-19

recommended the building of dirt roads but roads out of material to be found near at hand. He believed that a million dollar bond issue was too small and advised an issue of two millions.
 w. s. Humbert introduced w C. Hartranft, a well known advocate of concrete roads, who described the construction of a model road out of Detroit, an extension for ninety miles of the famous Woodward avenue
 The committee on permanent or ganiZation then presented it's report recommending that the temporary or ganization be made permanent; that the first matter for discussion should be types of roads; their location method of construction and supervi- sion; the appointment of commit tee on resolution and the report of the committee.
 After this an adjournment was taken until afternoon.
