BAN LIFTED BY STATE
ON PIMA COTTON
SEED FROM MARICO-
PA COUNTY, ARIZO-

5000 Acres of Best Egyp-
tian Cotton Planted in
Valley Next Year-Great
Demand for Seed.

County Horticultural Commissioner

ment Of Pima Egyptian cottonseed has
been released at Phoenix and is on
its way to the Valley, to supply farm
'ers who desire to plant the extra
long staple cotton which is now bring
ing " cents per pound in Arizona.
The seed will be distributed by the
Imperial Valley Long Staple Cotton
Growers Association at cost, plus
freight and handling. The price to
the grower will be about $50 per ton.
There will be enough Pima seed for
everybody, it is believed, as there are
1000 acres of clean seed in the Salt
River valley available. It was with
difficulty that the association secured
the seed, however, for both the gins
and the state entomologist preferred
to keep the seed in Arizona.
DR., Morrill,, the entomologist, will
inspect each consignment of seed,
which will be delinted and cleaned Of
johnson grass seed.
Quarantine Amendment No. / Of
California allows cottonseed to be inn
ported from Maricopa county, Ari-
.zona, and from Yuma county, provid-
ing the state entomologist of Arizona
certifies to the cleanliness Of the
seed.
Mr.. Waite advises the farmers to
figure on planting rs pounds Of seed
to the acre, and to make application
for the seed to the long staple associ-
alton as soon as possible.

MAKE THIS BEAUTY LOTION FOR
AFEW CENTS AND SEE FOR
YOURSELF.

What girl or woman hasn't heard Of
lemon juice to remove complexion
hlemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the FRESHNESS and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through fine
cloth the juice OF two fresh lemons
into a bottle containing about three
ounces Of orchard white, then shake
well and you have a whole quarter
pint of skin and complexion lotion at
about the cost one usually pays for
q small jar of ordinary cold cream.
BE sure to strain the lemon juice SO
no pulp gets into the bottle, then this
1otien will remain pure and fresh for
months. When applied daily to the
face, neck, arms and hands IT should
help to bleach. clear, smoother and
beautify the skin.
ANY druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very lit
f3e cost and the grocer has the
