George H. crosby, Jr.. judge of tho
superior court of Apache county. ar
rived in the city last week, to aid
Judge Stanford of the superior court
of this county. in disposing of
number of cases which have been
congesting the docket for some time.
In an interview Judge Crosby, who
resides in st. Johns, the county seat
of Apache county, stated that bust
ness conditions in that county We're
never better and that both st. Johns
md Holbrook, county seat of Navajo,
were growing rapidly.
The l.. b. Putncy Co, of Albu-
querQue. and Babbitt Bros, of Flag
staff, are both building large ware
houses in IIolbrook. The building
that the Putney company is putting
up, will be three stories, and will
have a floor space of so by 100 feet.
The construction of a new canal
to St Johns from the Lyma rescr-
1oir." said Judge Crosby, has
brought $1,000 acres of fertile land
under cultivation. and will serve TO
the fastest growing town in the
state
although we are s. miles from
railroad. we have experienced
a heavy tourist and auto traffic.
Last year there were 100 autos
passed through St. Johns. Apache
county will soon be possessed of
roads comparable with any in the
state. In addition to the regular
road tax we have voted a Sl25,000
bond issue. to be used only in the
building of roads.
The snow in the mountains has
more than filled our storage rescr-
vor so that we shall not lack for
water. At present there is five fee

plants in the middle of the day in
TIE early stages of growth is not
conclusive evidence that a general
irrigation is needed.
The reason for irrigating sparingly
during the first part of the season
is to prevent the too rapid growth
of the plants If given frequent
heavy irrigations the plants will
make excessive growth and will be
apt to maintain this tendency
throughout the season at the eA-
pense IF fruitfulncss. The founda-
ton for maximum production will he
laid if only sufficient water is given
the plants during the early stage OF
development to keep them i'll a
healthy growing condition.
Danger of Growing Cotton From Old
Stumps
There is only one way to insure
the continued production of the fine
EQUALITY of Egyptian cotton for which
the salt River valley already has Sc
cured reputation. and that is by
growing the crop each year from the
of cotton can be obtained from the
old stumps without trouble and eN-
pense of replanting. this practice OF
ratoonng cannot be recommended. II
it a lazy mans method and the re
suits are usually unsatisfactory and
are occasionally disastrous. Expert
ence has shown that the cotton
grown from last years stumps i
usually distinctly inferior in quality
to that grown from seed. Egyptian
cotton produced in this way is in
ferior in strength and fincness and
probably also in staple to that
grown from seed. Growers of Du-
range cotton in the Imperial wales
have experimental extensively Will
the ratoon method and the results
nave been so unsatisfactory that the
growers have decided to abandon the
, practice.
