branches. While ssoine raw desert land will make good cotton, it has been demonstrated that land previous ly in alfalfa will produce better cot ton and the crop can be produ ct more economically. New land does not hold the water so well and as a rule requires more frequent litigation. IL Is usually uneven, with spots of lighter soil here and there which rave to be irrigated separately in order to keep the growth uniform. While in some instances good yields of excel lent fiher have been obtained on raw land, the best results are to be had on old land, especially if it has Drevi ously been in alfalfa.
 "A great deal of the land in the Salt River valley is infested by Ser muda and Johnson grasses. This in fes;ation is worse on land that was under cultivation prior to the com rletion of the Roosevelt dam. The growing of a cultivated crop is tn surest means of ridding the land of these troublesome weeds. There arr. conservatively speaking fully l0,010 acres on the south side of the Sal; River alone that would te greatly benefited by cropping with cotton. This is as good land for cotton as any In the valley. Most of 1t Is level and 1t has been made rich by crops of alfalfa
 Land that is nearly level will re- quirc less water for the crop, can be irrigated more evenly and will pro- duce more uniform cotton than land with heavy slope. If there Is much grade to the land. it will be found that the fields dry out in spots during August and September, and in order to avoid injury to the cotton. it will he necessary to irrigatc these spots separately. thus causing much extra work. The test grade to be given will depend somewhat upon the character of the soil. a steper grade> being possible in light soils into which the water sinks readily than in heaty soils which will not become thor oughly wet unless the water stands for some time. Where alfalfa land Is plowed up in order to plant cotton. il is often advisable to irriglte the cot ton in a different direction from that used in irrigating the alfalfa, in order to secure lighter grade.'

GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS
 AID VALLEY COTTON GROWERS

Growing Egyptian cotton in the Salt River Valley Alizona,V is the title of an interesting and educational bulletin recently published by the United States department of aericul- lire and in which is contained much
 aluable information resal ding con ditions in this state.
 It has only been within the past two r three years that the goverl. .ment agricultural authorities Lave ever turned their attention toward the cot ton growing possibilities in t1is state. They have recently given the situi- don considerable thought and pub iclty, however and 1t Is believed that IS a result, the cotton growing indus try in the Salt River valley will gala .onsidera ble momentum
 The bulletin, which is of great im- portance to the cotton agriculturalists
 f this vicinity. reads, in part, sls follows:
 Large yields of uniformly long and strong fiber of Egyptian cotton can be obtained only by proper atten- tion to the selection and preparation If the land and by careful cultivation and irrigation of the crop. It is also very important to manage the crop so that the bulk of it will ripen early. COlton Ilpentu m OCAoDcI UT 4NoNeHl- s. her is always superior to that Iipenei later. Growers Of Egyptian cotton should prepare the land during the previous autumn, or al latest during the winter, so as 10 have it ready for planting early in the spring. Egy.i- tan cotton is long-season crop and should be planted early in March.
 "The object of. this paper is to de scribe methods of preparing the land and irrigauns and cultivating the crop which have proved successful in the Salt River valley.
 Since it is very important that the land be prepared as early as possible, it is well for those who expect 10 plant cotton to have the matter in mind in handling the land with the preceding crop.
 The question of what soil is best adapted to cotton is often asked. Any land that will grow good crops of al- falfa and grain will also grow good cotton. The heavier and more fertile soils IS q rule will grow a smaller and more fruitful plant wi;h shorter rodes and hench more fruitins

 GREAT ORCHESTRA

Whenever virgin soil produces a rich growth. the world is astonished. But tbere is nothing surprising about it. The extraordinary growth is merely the result of certain rare combinations of seed. soil and cultivation.
 The Minneapolis symphony orches- tra, which plays here Feb. .. is one of these extraordinary growths The seed was the money put into 1t by three or four wealthy men of Minneapolis who believed a great city should have a great orchestra. Into the soil of public spirit and love Of music went the seed. The cultivation has been the work of Emil ObcThoffer whose genius was just beginning to reveal itself when he was made conductor of the Minneapolis or chestra ten years ago. Simultaneously MT OberhoffeT has been recognized as one of the great powers in music and his orchestra as one Of the really won derful symphony orchestras of the world
 That such a man and such an organ ization should have arisen in a north western American city instead of in one cf the older musical capitals is as interesting as it Is surprising.

That the final touch of Governor Hunts pen to the proclamation that win complete the drying out process in Arizona will be given next Monday. is the unofficial announcement that was made yesterday. Coming right on the heels Of the proclamations by railroad and express companies that they yosld not accept liquor shipments that would be en route Co consignees after certain dates, this semi -officiai announcement receives the color of extreme likel hood
 lt was pointed out yesterday that the prohibition amendment would first be enforced by the carriers. no matter wheihe. the administration affixes its slgnatuIe today or a month from today As far os common carriers can. they will place the new amendment in effect after tomorrow. when shipments from Los Angeles will be no more accepted
 Huge quantities of liquors are being poured into the state. as the residents are preparing not only for the Thanks giving and Christmas cheer but are making ready to stall off the drouth as long as possible The death blow to personal use will be marked by almost as big party as was the orig hal prohibition amendment. two years ago next January l. But in this case the celebration must needs be of a fairly quiet order.
 Canvassed returns from the state election will be in the hands of Secre- tary of State x. r. Osborn during the early part of this week. He will prob ably have them tabulated and in shape to certify to the governor by the fol- lowing Monday.
