COTTON TALK
By AN EXPERT
Professor Mason of the De

on Long Staple and Con
ditions Here and in Egypt
and the Sudan

Professor Mason of the department
OF agriculture, who has for some time
been in the valley investigating date
culture and, incidentally, the progress
of the long staple cotton industry
speaking of the latter yesterday, said
that it had long been his wish that the
cotton of this valley might be brought
to uniform grade and kept there until
Salt River valley cotton would be
known throughout the world as the
name of a cotton of peculiar excel
lence.
Though experiments had been made
in Egyptian cotton in the Yuma coun-
try, it was Professor Mason who in
duced the government to begin the eX-
perments at Sacaton, out of which has
grown the present important industry
in this valley.
Several years ago Professor Mason
was sent to Egypt and the Sudan to
investigate the date industry there,
and he has since made several trips FOR
that purpose He returned from the
latest enc last March. 1t was on these
journeys that his attention was at

che HAS MADE GOOD"
!: STANDS ON HIS OWN RECORD

tracted to cotton, though that was
apart from his regular duties.
The quality of the long staple cot
ton in Egypt and the Sudan, he said,
had greatly deteriorated through the
ravages of the pink bool worm and the
carelessness of the growers as well as
the corruption among Egyptian off,
Gals and dealers. The English have
tried to keep up the quality, but there
are so few of them to keep watch on
the industry that they are unable to
arrest the deterioration. But lately,
more energetic measures have been
undertaken by the government, which
has become alarmed at the falling off
of the supply of high grade cotton
from those districts which were once
the chief source of supply.
Mr.. Mason related the incident of an
English expert, an acquaintance of his
who had been detailed by Lord Kitch
ener to provide a large quantity of
first class seed to be distributed among
the peasants. He was expected by the
process of selection and 'roguing" to
produce a certain amount. Though he
had done the best he could he fell
short of the required amount and was
dismissed from the service by Kitch-
ener.
The Greek merchants, said Mr.. Ma
son. were responsible in a large meas
ure for the deterioration. In one in
stance it was announced that a large
quontity of high grade seed was avail
able, having been provided by the gov
eminent. Immediately the merchants
all advertised that they were provided
with that kind of seed and they sold
it to the fellaheen The volume of
seed so disposed of was four times as
great as the volume of it that actually
existed. This fraud upon the growers
and upon the industry was made pos
! sible by the corruption of the officials
and the chief men of the villages
