That the great southwest is now hcinx recognized as a cotton country oouai to the best in the world is no longer questioned All classes of cot ion. grade for grade, are superior to the same grade grown in the south, both in color and textile strength. This has been demonstrated beyond all question.
 The mills demanding a middllng cot ton that have used the cotton grown m this country ask for it the next sea son, and are willing to pay reason- able premium for it.
 The yield per acre on the average is almost three times that of the south.
 There are several reasons why the ranchers here can in confidence expect large yields. First. the supply of moisture can be regulateditO the plant $ requirements. Second the constant sunshine and lack of humidity destroy the pests common to the cotton plant. Third. the plant does not require a fertilizer in our soil to make it yield a prolific crop. Thus we are not depen- dent on foreign countries for this fer tilizer, which is absolutely necessary to the greater portion of the south.
 Now since there is absolutely no question about producing bountiful crop if suitable soil is selected and properly worked, we can consider the future market value of this crop.
 We are now living in unusual times and it is certainly unusual as to cotton. Tine demand for American cotton for the current year is not less than four teen million bales, with not over twelve million bales to satisfy same, and it is very probable that there will be a de- cided reduction in this last figure. There is a greater per cent of poor staple produced this season than usual and the absolute demand for staple cotton is the greatest in history. This is cotton one inch in length and up. The best grades of this has been sup piled by Sea Island growers and i'm ports from Egypt. There seems to be ' no reasonable question but that the demand for this fine cotton has out grown the supply. Now in addition to this. Egypt will likely not produce within one million contars of ninety nine pounds each, of the average pro duction for the four years preceding the war. At the present the prospects are that India will not grow as much cotton as expected so we have great demand and very high prices this year.
 The farmers of our valley have a great opportunity to assist in supply ing this demand with the finest cotton at the highest prices of any grown in the United States.
 lt is also advisable to take a conser- .vative view as to prices in the future. We cannot tell what the worlds pro-

GRAHAM COUNTY |S

Among the counties that have been forging to the front as agricultural counties. as evidenced by the exhibits made at the State Fair during the past i've years, is Graham county. which this year IS occupying more space in the great main building than it has ever had before and filling that space to the fullest extent with most diver sified selection of what grows in Graham" The Gila valley or that DOT ton of it that supplies Graham county with its agricultural ambitions. is geo. graphically placed so as to be almost between Globe and Miami on the one side and Clifton and Morenci on the other. This gives an unexampled mar ket for fruits and vegetables, and Ora ham county farmers have been taking advantages of it to the utmost
 Superintendent l.. R. Pace, who has charge of the exhibit at the Fair this year has gathered collection of fruits, apples especially. that cause the visitors to stop and look while he explains what particularly part of Gods Coun- try he halls from and how it happens that this year more than seventy five hundred cases of apples were raised for out country markets after no more than three years work on the orchards. and how the apples are of such flavor and texture, and generally of such fine appearance. Incidently MT Pace shows also some pears that took the sweep

CHANDLER FARMERS
 HANDSOME RETURNS

In no place in the Salt River valley has more attention ebeen given to the growing of cotton, or have better re- suits been obtained, than in the Chan dler ristrict. Indeed the first cotton grown in the Salt River valley was raised expermentally by Dr. A. J. Chandler some twenty years ago on his ranch, and the splendid cotton now called Arizona Egyptian, which is fav- Orably known the world over for the length. strength and silkiness of it's fiber was developed to it's present eX- cellence by F. w. Hudson, the expert of the Dept. of Agriculture, on the gov ernment experimental farm at Sacaton, south of Chandler
 Naturally the high prices at present being realized for Arizona cotton are giving handsome returns to all the growers of the Chandler district, whe include Andreas Jepson, W. D. Springg. O. H. Rune. R. H. Fairbanks. Jack Rrechler, -C. A. Sutton, G. R. Johnson, Jacob Keefanver, Wm. Clemens and Dr. A. J. Chandler.
 Most of the fields of the district were planted to what is locally known as the Sacaton strain. which is one of the TWO best strains bred by MT. Hudson tir. Jepson. however. was fortunate enoagh to get some of an improved strain which has been called the Pima and his results with it have been SD re- munerative that they deserve a para granh fer themselves
 There are 160 acres in his cotton field all of which will go better than a bale and a quarter per acre. Each bale weighs a little over 800 pounds. The quality of his cotton has been so

duction will be next year and no grow CT should expect to get forty cents, but rather twenty-five cents, which is a profitable basis, if the proper care is observed in growing the crop, and should the demand be great and the supply short there will be another harvest of extra profits for the farmer.
 With our cotton fully established in the worlds markets and representa- tiveS from many of these markets on the ground ready to buy, future compc- tition in a reasonable way is assured If we could warehouse and hold our cotton when unsatisfactory market conditions prevail the price of our cot ton for several years should be main- tanned at not less. than twenty five cents

fine, that while the Sacaton cotton has now reached the remarkable price of 46 cents pound for the lint, he has been offered and refused 49 cents, although this price would bring him over $500 an acre. or about S50.0 for his 160 acres. besides what he would get for his seed, which ought to be worth a high price for sowing other fields next spring. The price. of course. is eXcep- tional, and the yield high. though Lew Ellsworth superintendent for pr. Chandler. says the doctors 160 acres will go one and -half bales an acre. Most growers are satisfied if they can produce three quarters of a bale an acre, and this at even normal prices for Egyptian cotton will make a good profit
 So well satisfied are the farmers of . the Chandler district for the prospects for next year that 1000 acres and up- wards win be planted in the spring. In addition to this a strong financial company. acting. it is said, in co-opera- ton with the Goodyear Rubber com pany are planning to put down wells on a tract. of land within a few miles of Chandler to the south. and irrigate 10, 900 acres of new land and grow cot ton for automobile tires, for the Salt River valley cotton. has been proved by test to be the best cotton for that purpose grown in the world. The off cers of the company say that they ex- pect to begin operations within a few weeks
 While Chandler already has one of the best gins in Arizona for handling long staple cotton, it is planned by this new company to put in a second gin in order to have capacity to handle the largely increased acreage.
 Further information concerning the growing of cotton in this district may he obtained by writing the Chandler Chamber of Commerce.

Where Papaws Are Gjants

Upon the premises OF "Reve d'Ete,"
the beautiful southern home estate of
the late Charles |. Cragin, the man
ager. H. e. Sealey, has managed to
force a growth of the papaya Tor pa
paw plant which seems most remark
able, the Palm Beach (Fla.) Post
states. There is fine growth at
tanned by nearly all plant life upon
that well-cared-for tract - but the
growth made by the papaw plants set
out from the tiny pot last May, and
then not more than five inches in
height, has been enough to draw atten-
ton to them. They are now nearly
fifteen feet tall-and some of the trees
have diameter of fully seven inches
This tale may sound much exaggerat-
ed to many readers, but the trees are
there to speak for themselves, and the
records kept of all work done and
achievements made during each day
of the year can prove the accuracy Of
this statement of growth.

The girl studied the wretched little
