MANY ADVANTAGES
 IN COTTON RAISING
Expert Gives Advice to Growers of Cotton
 Prices to Be Better

The advantages offered to the Salt River valley farmers in the growing of cotton was set forth yesterday by w. J. Simpson. local buyer for McFadden Eros, in a converse tion upon this sub ject.
 MT Simpson is of the opinion that one of the best paying and safest crops for. this section is Egyptian long staple cotton. He states it to be an admitted fact that the best cotton grown in the United States is raised within five miles of the town of Mesa The one possible exception being the Sea Island cotton raised in certain places and to a very limited extent However there is no conflict as to marketing the two varieties as they are used for different purposes. The combination of soil. sunshine and water as found in the Salt River valley produces a fineness and length of fibre which cannot be eXcelled.
 Last seasons crop, counting from September 1, 1914 to September 1915 amounted to about 1500 bales for this immediate vicinity. as against about 259 ginned here this season. The re- duced acreage was caused partly by the low prices of the last season, and the reduced yield of this year was caused by a late spring and a very ear ly frost. The remedy for the latter is in the opinion of MT. Simpson. allow ing the crop to mature before Octo- Der 1.
 Experienced cotton growers believe that an unnecessary amount of water is used here and this may account for the enormously high stalks, making picking so difficult Cotton is some what of a dry weather crop and last season when water was scarcer than this the quality of the staple was su- pcrior to that of the present year. A further condition must be overcome ere this section reaches it's best as a , cotton producing center, and that is the failure of the farmers to stick steadily to cotton as a worth while crop. The effect year ago of the war. on the price of-the staple was ar unusual happening. The market has l finished to admit opening school be 1 fore Monday of next week.
