THE GROWTH 0F THE
 AR|z. ECYPT|ANC CO,

The first organization in the valley for the handling of long staple cotton was the Arizona Egyptian Cotton com pany of which Herbert B. Atha is president. E. J. Bennitt, secretary and Barry Goldwater. treasurer This company grew out of the enterprise of MT. Atha who planted the first large tract of land to cotton for commercial purposes as distinguished from exper- mental purposes In 1912 he raised 70 bales on his ranch northwest of the city and ginned 1t there.
 The Arizona Egyptian company was formed the following year and a gin and oil mill were erected in Phoenix. That year the company ginned 1000 bales. The following year it took charge of the Chandler gin and at each plant something more than 1900 bales were ginned, the two handling $500 bales of the $500 bales produced in the valley. Last year the company did not operate the Chandler plant and handled only 300 bales in the Phoenix plant, but this year the company is operating both plants and has already ginned 1500 bales.
 The activities of the company in- clude the marketing of the cotton il
Arizona republican., 1916-11-17
By Dwight B. Heard

The development in the Salt River valley of the Egyptian long fiber cot ton is one of the most vital things in the upbuilding of this valley, and the rise in price during the past few months is simply astounding. The best feature of this rise is that most of the money covering this increase has gone into the hands of the farmers
 I think it was only six years ago that MT. Walter Swingle. MT. s. C.. Mason, and T. H. Kearney-the latter being the man who had made the in- vestigations in Egypt for the United States government on cotton growing came here as representatives of the United States department of aSricul- ture to look over the possibilities of the Salt River valley for growing this long fiber cotton. They had heard that a little short staple cotton had been grown in Arlington that year, and l had the pleasure of taking these gentlemen down to Arlington and in specting with them the few small cotton fields that were in that section. Since then, with various vicissitudes, the industry has grown and has al ways had the unfailing support of Messrs. Swingle. Kearney and Mason, and later of MT. Hudson. who has been associated with them in charge of the practical field work.
 In a letter which l had yesterday from Prof. Swingle, he writes as follows:
 You will be glad I am sure, to know that the New York Journal of Com merce for November 9th prints in it's New Bedford letter under date of No-
Arizona republican., 1916-11-17
BEG|NN|NG IF AN INDUSTRY
 WHICH IN A HALT DOzEN YEARS HASATT TA|NED SUCH PROPORTIONS

vember 4th the paragraph stating among other things that "The con- sumption of Egyptian cotton here at the present time is tremendous. The grade of Sakellarides cot ton generally used for automobile tire fabric yarns is now commanding with in fraction of a cent of half dollar a pound" Pima cotton is undoubtedly worth several cents premium above this. but of course is not well enough known as yet to bring what it merits"
 The general long fiber cotton that we are growing here now is classed as Yuma cotton, is practically identical with the Sakellarides Egyptian cotton referred to in Prof. Swingle's letter
 The remarkable feature about the quality of the cotton that we are grow ing here is not only the unusual length of the fiber, averaging about one and one half inches but the fact that very carefully conducted laboratory tests show that it has the greatest textile strength of practically any cotton grown in the world. In other words the cotton growers of this valley. by their staying qualities and faith in Egyptian long fiber cotton are now coming into their own. At this time last year this cotton was selling in Phoenix on a rather dull market at 21 cents. The same cotton is selling today for 1T cents and the buyers cannot get enough of it. Not only is there this tremendous increase in the price of cotton caused by a steadily increased demand on the part of every spinner who has used the cotton, but the cotton seed which a year ago was selling for s10 a ton is today selling

for $4S, so that when a farmer brings a bale of long fiber cotton to market today in the Salt River valley, he gets enough money not only to pay his ginning but to increase his bank ac- count to the extent of about $250.00.
 This industry is nos longer to the slightest extent, experimental in the Salt River valley, and it is an industry where intelligence and intensified cul- tivation will bring a certain and al- most astounding return. l know numbers of farmers this year who are clearing on every acre which they farmed in cotton, over and above all expenses, from $100 to S175.00 per acre. These figures seem like a fairy tale but they are exact facts and the steady mortgage reduction on the part of the cotton growers is one of the most convincing demonstrations of the value of this crop to the Salt River valley
 In the early days of the cotton in- dustry it was planted principally either on desert land which had not been en- riched by alfalfa growing and stock pasturing, or on land of not the most desirable character. This year it has been grown on some of the best lands in the Salt River valley and next year thousands of acres of alfalfa will be plowed up for the purpose of cotton planting. Lands of this character are now renting freely to experienced cot ton men at from S15 to $20 an acre. These again seem rather astounding figures but they are again a statement of the simple, exact facts in connection with this really wonderful product.

gins and also much of the other cotton in the valley. It manufactures oil and cold pressed oil cake which is in great demand for feeding cattle About sev enty-five per cent of the output is used in this valley The oil Is sent to the coast to be refined for cooking purposes, the making of Cresco and other cooking compounds. The com pany from the beginning has also en- gagged in the business of financing growers of cotton.
 One of the strongest arguments, said Mir Atha yesterday. in favor of the growing of long staple cotton in this valley is the fact that the sea island cotton districts are overrun with the boil weevil, threatening the extinction of the industry there leav- ing to the southwest the entire business of producing long staple cotton. The weevil he said is much more damag- ing to long staple than to short by reason of the longer season within which 1t has to work and also on ac- count of the shade the rankef growth of long staple cotton yields. On account of the isolation of this valley 1t is not likely to be invaded by this deadly pest of the cotton growing industry. The only way it could be brought here would be in the seed and that danger has been considerably les sened by the failure of the short staple cotton industry in the valley Still there are isolated farmers from the south to whom the raising of short Staple is a sacred office and some of them will doubtless imDort seed from the south to plant small patches.
 But there is no need, said Mir Atha, for the importation of seed. The val ley is now producing a great deal more than would be required for any acre age that could possible be planted.
 The remaining problem of the cotton growing business, Mir. Atha said. was the picking. That has been foreseen by all men who have given the subject study and in the beginning it was pointed out by Dr. w. T. Swingle. of the department of agriculture. who be- lieved though that an adjustment of labor could be so made that an acreage of 10000 would be possible and would be about the limit for ths valley. It is estimated that the acreage next year will be from 25.000 to 90. 000

COTTON SUBSTITUTE
 FUR VANISHING LINEN

The long staple cotton grown in Ari- zona is superior to that raised insother sections of the country. says Charles Korrick. president of the large depart ment store that bears his name Mir korrick states that on recent eastern trip he attended a gathering of mill men who were unanimous in their opinion of Arizona cotton, considering it one of the best propositions on the market
 Linen has advanced from fifty to one hundred per cent" said Mir. Kor- rick in discussing the subject yester- day. Tt is not only high but scarce. Domestic manufacturers are making cotton take the place of linen and are combining the two. All the better grades of underwear and hosiery are made of the long staple and spool cotton and the fine fabrics of white and colors The mills in the future will have to depend almost solely on the cotton grown in the United States, and ! the shortage of cotton combined with the high cost of labor and the demand infinitely greater than the output will send prices on the different commod- ities soaring. Many of the mills are working three shifts in twenty four hours but even at this rate are unable to fill orders. We anticipate a famine on certain merchandise. such as un- derwear. outing flannels, blankets and comforts for which orders were placed a year ago and have yet to be de- ! livered."
 Mir Korrick sees in the European war the development of this country along all lines of manufacturing and back of this the advancement of the cotton industry.

the climate here Is SO very similar to the climate of Egypt it was though tLat this cotton might be grown sue cessfully in the southwest The first attempts to grow this cotton were made at the government experiment. al station at Yuma, Arizona, with in different success, until from TO ap- parent reason . o-called sport ap- peared among the plants.

 This plant was segregated, given the name of Yuma, removed to Saca : ton and kept absolutely free from contamination with other varieties and watched until il was proven that it was true type Then when enough seed had accumulated to starr planting on a larger scale it was given to planters here in the Salt River Valley who continued its de- velopment Meantime at the eXperi- ment station at Sacaton experts

enough seed to plant five thousand acres to the Pima variety This will be planted and kept pure so that the season following there will be enough to eupply the demands of the entire valley.
 The Yuma variety which is the present product has been tried out hy many of the eastern spinners and found to be as valuable if not the most valuable of any cotton used Up to this time. There have been spin ming tests made both ty the govern ment and by individuals and all agree that there are few if any va rieties grown in the world that can equal it. Now the Pima cotton, which is recognized as a more valu- able variety, coming to taks it's pace assures for the Salt River valley and he great Southwest one of the greatest industries that has ever reen developed
