market. The climate and the condi-
| tons are in the Salt River valley for
! the production OF perfect cotton and
| the point is brought out as to whether
to strive for that ideal or to follow the
| lines of least resistance and go back
wards as has the planted of the south
whose product produces the least rev.
enues
Authentic reports from the Imperial
valley. where considerable cotton was
volunteered this season. have it that
the volunteer cotton yielded a very poor
staple compared to the planted cotton.
and the farmers and buyers do not
consider it a success
1t has come to be considered there
that volunteer cotton means poor staple
cotton. It is estimated by local grow
ers who have given a great deal of
thought to the planting and producing
Of cotton that from six to eight dollars
per acre will be saved by harvesting
cotton from the stalk. Mesa occupies
the distinction of being one OF the lead
ing communities in the valley where
cotton is grown and it is not the pur-
pose of one of the local growers to
make one statement that will detract
from the progress of the industry. If
volunteer cotton will breed up the
staple and make the land produce more
in dollars than cotton planted from the
seed they are very anxious to take adj
vantage of such d plan. However, in
the face Of the fact that cotton does
deteriorate when harvested from the
stalk they are strongly in favor of re-
framing from the practice until it has
been demonstrated that it can be done
successfully without lessening the
staple and consequently without les
SEEMING the price. The saving of six
dollars per acre. they figure will in no
wise offset the outlay if the Salt River
valley cotton must perforce lower its
staple and get down into the classes
where competition is more keen and
where market conditions are invariably
unsatisfactory.
The valley cotton has already estab-
lished a name for itself. 1t has been
sold this season in direct competition
with original cotton and the announce
ment is made that buyers are already
prepared TO take every bale of cotton
that can be grown in the valley up to
the maximum amount. provided of
course. that the present high standard
is maintained.

NESA
COTTON FROM STUMP
IS STILL A PROBLEM
Article in Phoenix Publication Believed
to have Been Premature-Local Ex-
perts Not for Volunteer Product

| That the article together with a rec
sue of a Phoenix publication relative to
growing cotton from the stump or in
| other words harvesting cotton grown
| from volunteer stalks is believed by
local experts as well as growers to have
been premature. In the opinion of
many Of those interested locally in the
industry, volunteer cotton remains a
| problem. 1t is true that a number of
growers in the Mesa section are this
year harvesting cotton from last years
seed planting. In certain instances
where the volunteer stalks stood along
side stalks grown from the seed and
where polarization was easy the quail
itN was not lessened greatly In Ger
tain other instances it has been dem
onstrated that the staple deteriorated
rapidly in cotton grown from the
stump.
1t is held by the local experts and
growers who are vitality interested in
seeing the industry succeed that the
paramount idea is to produce a cotton
thar Will bring the greatest returns for
labor and money invested. In order to
accomplish that end they believe that
no risk should be taken that may lessen
the staple. 1t is an easy matter to grow
cotton of shorter staple but the price
will be correspOndngly less. The sea
island cotton grown out from Charles
ton, South Carolina is the. ideal toward
which the growers of the Salt River
valley are headed. The staple of the
cotton grown there ranges in length
from three quarters to two inches in
length. 1t is the most perfect cotton
grown and has brought as high as %
cents per pound on the Liverpool
