PARADISE FOR THE BIRDS
Temperate Zone for the Feathered
.Nr Friends of Man.

Up. in the far country where the
timber fails, the calendar is respect
ed. There is no summer before the
omcial day set for it. The ground is
held fast by frost until June is Well
started. There are flurries of snow.
wild, bitter winds, sky that has no
mercy. And then, suddenly. the wind
shifts and comes out of the south. 1t
is summer then with leap.
The interest of the temperate zone
in the northland is that 1t is there
that have gone a great many of the
migrating birds which paid us a few
days visit and passed on. For all its
inhospitality to man, this country in
summer is a paradise for birds. Its
marshes are safe refugees from two
and four-footed enemies There is ex-
haustless material for nests. And out
of the pools come myriads of insects,
food that does not fail until the time
for the southwark bird movement ar
rfves.
Some man has said that there is
no God north of latitude 50. He did
not inquire as to what the birds
might have thought of that.-Toledo

American merchant borrows at five
per cent. The American stock gam

less. The American farmer, with all
that can be said to his good and solv-
ent advantage, must and does pay Sh

And all the time the savings and
postal banks are bulging with billions.
II the government would make two
blades of grass grow where but one

would pay-the wide-fung chance lies

ARIZONA RAISING COTTON.
The 1918 Cotton Crop Was Most VAL

The 1918 Cotton Crop Was Most VAL
uabie Ever Produced.
Washington-F1nal figures on the
1918 cotton crop, announced by the
census bureau, place it as the largest
the United States has ever grown.
with the exception of that OF 1911. At
the same time the estimate of the to-
tai value of the crop shows 1t was the
most valuable ever produced. it being
worth $1.043,760.OOO.
The quantity of cotton ginned from
the 1913 crop. counting round as half
bales and excluding linters, was 49,
9s2,S11 running bales. or 14.156,4s6
bales of 500 lbs. gross weight. Cotton
seed produced was 6.305 900 tons, of
which 4.575.508 tons were crushed.
The value of the cotton is estimated
at 1887, 100000 and OF the seed $780,
100000.
An interesting feature of the 1918
production was the crop OF the I'M
perial valley, in southern California.
where 22.S3S bales were grown. 1t
has been reported the acreage planted
this year in the Imperial valley will
show large increase. while the pro-
duction Is estimated at from $4,000 to
100000 bales. Last years production
was more than double that OF any pre-
vious year there, where commercial
growing of cotton has been in progress
only few years.
Another feature was the production
in Arizona. where 2.299 bales were
ginned. the largest part of which
