MESA
COTTON PLANTING
 SEASON HAS BEGUN
Indications Are that Acreage will be Somewhat Smaller than Last
 Season

George H. Gamble has the honor of being the first cotton planter in the Mesa section to commence putting tine seed in the ground for the 1915 crop. Mr. Gamble who is firm believer in early planting started planting at noon yesterday. According to the opinion of expert growers. the proper time for the
 planting of Egyptian cotton is between
 the first and tenth of March. F.. w.
 Hudson, who is in charge of the eX
 perimental farm at Sacaton has also
 advised the growers that they will
 profit materially by early planting and he has fixed the dates as the most ideal
 for early maturity from March I to r. While Mir. Gamble has the distinction i of being the first to commence pant ing he is soon to be followed by oth CTS. This last statement is made from the sale of seed from the local gin yes
 terday. Nearly fifteen hundred pounds
 of seed went out to growers who have | their lands ready to commence plant i ing immediately.
 The soil is said to be in first class l coHullloH lOI pldntIiS Hiti dihpi' l moisture in the ground to germnate I the seed without irrigation. With the 1 indications for more the future for q l splendid start on this years crop is as :, sured a success.
 ] It is impossible as yet to get an ap- | proXimate acreage to be planted to cotton throughout the Mesa section this
 season. yet it is evident that the acre.
 age will be less than that of last year. i While a number of planters are cutting :, their acreage some of them will drop 1 out of the game for year. However. | on the other hand there are ranchers who are of the opinion that this is the i year to grow cotton on account of the i greatly decreased acreage in Egypt and i, the southern states and they have fig ured that the price this season is going
 to be even much better than two years ago.

Senior Club

II' ItSuitS SHOW that every boy produced over 900 pounds of lint per acre at the rate of over one and one fifth bales per acre with the excep- tion of George Morton who unfortun- ately had a large portion of his yield destroyed by fire and Claude Ned lcck whose plot was smaller than the half acre allowed The yield of Horace Miller lacked just eight and cne-half pounds of reaching the bale or in other words the two bale per acre mark. For the first year the boys have each made remarkable showing in demonstrating the cotton growing possibilities of the valley. It year there may be much larger enrolment and even closer compe- tition. The boys have placed the two bale mark in a prccarious po- sition and there are those who look forward to the record at a no far distant date of three bales per acre as a record.
 If the unwarrantcd expenditure of prize money for the first bale of the StdSou Wnltu Dy ndIu1e or the TO- cal climate must be earliest because of inferiority or neglect. could be diverted into the more sensible chan mel of encouraging intensive culture with the boys. the work would be given a great impetus. Professor J E. Griffing, the supervisor of the past contest has taken up the matter of the next seasons contest with the state superintendent of boys clubs MT. l.. $. Parke, and has arranged for rcadjustment of the rules of the contest SO that they will be more practical The idea for the coming year will be practical rules with nc deviation from them. Mir. Parke will be in the valley within few days to take up the work among the boys for the new season.
 Much of the credit for the success. of the past conduct is due to Mr Steele, manager of the gin, and MT Williams foreman, who permitted ths cotton from each boy to be ginnet and weighed separately thus assur. ing accurate measurement to tn, Tempe Cotton Exchange for buyin. the cotton from the boys at tn, highest rate paid.
