NEW EGYPTIAN COTTON.

After Is years of experimental
ton in breeding and selection, plant
specialists of the u. s. Department
Of Agriculture have succeeded in
developing q second new variety of
the valuable Egyptian cotton grown
in this country. The new variety
is considered to be superior in
several respects to the variety now
in use. Sufficient seed of the type,
which is known as the Pima, has
been raised to plant a relatively
large area and will be used during
1917 in the Salt River Valley of
Arizona, the center of Egyptian
cotton culture in this country. It is
hoped that from this crop sufficient
seed will be obtained to plant the
entire cotton growing area of the
valley in 1918, if the substitution
of the new variety for the one now
grown is then believed to be desir-
able.
The variety of Egyptian cotton
now being grown in the Salt River
Valley is the first new type develop
ed in this country and is known as
the Yuma variety. The Pima cotton
produces a large, finer, colored
fiber than the Yuma, and for this
reason should command a better
price per pound in the market.
Even were there no difference in
The value of the fiber, however, the
Pima variety should be the most
profitable to produce since it is
more productive and earlier, has
arger bolls, and is more easily pick
ID owing to the greater freedom Of
he plants from vegetative limbs.
The Pima variety originated in

field of Yuma cotton grown at the
Cooperative Testing and Dcmonstra-
ton Garden at Sacaton, Ariz., ard
has been carefully tested since. 1t
is much more uniform and .-uer to
type than the Yuma. The Pima
was given its first on field scale
in 1916, when 275 acres were plant
ed. The planting in 1917 will be
in a continuous area 50 as to avoid
cross-pollination with Yuma cotton
Egyptian cotton is especially liable
to cross-polli,stion between types,
an occurrence which contaminates
and is likely to ruin a good variety.
The planting Of Pima cotton in
continuous area will also facilitate
ginning under conditions making
possible the avoidance of the mix
ture of Pima and Yuma seed.

/, caused Mrs. Morse to let up in hel
efforts, on the other hand she il
working harder every day, and hel
work is the talk Of the town. She
begins early and works late to pile
up more votes. Mrs. Morse entered
the contest bit late, and says had
she started at the beginning, she
would have a greater lead at this
time. She does not underestimate
the ability of her competitors in
this race and realizes that their
efforts and those Of their friends
will have to be reckoned with.
The margin Of votes between
first and second place today is a
bit less than 100000 and could be
overcome in a day. So the race is
very uncertain.
The time remaining is now but
six days, less than q week to work,
and the main prizes will be won and
lost by the efforts put forth by the
contestants in these six days. It
viii be almost physically impossible
for the contestants to again see all
Of their friends before the finish, 50
they are depending upon the work Of
their friends to q great extent.
Subscriptions received at the Office,
or by any representative Of the
Review, when requested by the
subscriber, the votes will be placed
to the credit Of the contestant, the
same as though the subscription
were given to the contestant in
person.
The contest will positively close
on March 1st., at 900 p m. The
Review Office will be kept open un-
til that hour to receive votes of the
contestants, but it must be remem-
bered that votes brought in after
that hour will not be counted.

July 31. On August the Seeadler stranded and was abandoned as total loss The commanding officer of the Seeadler left on August 2l in a motor sloop with machine guns, rifles, bombs and about two months supplies, ac- companied by three officers and two men.
 "On September the French schooner Lutece, bound out of Takiti, Society Islands, arrived at Mopeha and was Seeadler's crew who immediately left on the schooner with machine guns, supplies, rifles and bombs leaving be- hind them 27 white men and IT native prisoners from the Seeadler, marooned on Mopesa island. These men are in great need of food and water
 First news that Seeadler had slipped past the British cordon in the North sea and was preying on shipping in the Atlantic came on April last, in dis patches from Rio Janeiro, giving the names of twelve allied craft that she had destroyed. Word of the sinkings were carried to the Brazilian port by the French bark Cambronne, which was sent there by the Seeadler with the crews of the destroyed ships
 According to some of the survivors the Seeadler's master said he left Gel- many on December P and passed as q Norwegian sailing ship. The Seeadler had three masts and was equipped with a powerful auxiliary engine. She car ried two guns of 105 millimeters and It machine guns, with a crew of sixty four, under command of Count Ukner. The vessel also was equipped with powerful wireless concealed in the rig gng.
 The raider flew the Norwegian flag until close to her intended victims, when her sails were lowered the Ger man flag run up and fire opened with machine guns. Raiding parties boarded the ships, transferred the crews and

 American machines also are being built abroad, and MT. -jaker said that approximately one fourth of the num- Der soon to be needed will be made in the allied countries In that connection, stress was laid upon the necessity for greatly developing and expanding the aircraft industry in the United States, all the summer and part of the early fall having been devoted to this essen tiai ground work
 The designing of a satisfactory motor was necessary and the Liberty motor was the result of the combined efforts of the best engine builders of the coun- try. The signal corps and it's staff of foreign advisers. the secretary said, are well satisfied with the progress made since this motor was designed While 1t is not possible to make public de- tails of the work accomplished, Mr. Baker announced that the departments g earlier expectations and hopes for con- summation of it's extensive aircraft program are being more than realized.
 There is practically no limit to the number of aerial fighters which the United States can and will furnish in the war for democracy" continued the secretary No time has been lost in experiments. The machines which al ready have proved successful will be reproduced in large numbers in this country"

Four Others Overdue

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-Besides the R. C. Shade, the Manila and the A. B. Johnson, reported sunk by the Ger man raider Seeadler four other Ameri- can owned vessels are among those overdue at Pacific coast and south Pa cific ports. No word has been received from any of the four for more than a month and hope that they will ever reach their destinations has been aban- doned
 The R. C. Slade, a four masted vessel of 674 tons, was owned by the Pacific Freighters company. It sailed for San Francisco from Australia two months ago with a cargo of copra. Captain Haldor Smith was master and had a crew of fifteen men. A cablegram all safe" was received here last Tuesday by Mrs. Smith from her husband.

cers believe a definite ascendancy has been established by the allies in the morale of heir armies They regard that condition as forecasting complete vic- tory, although none are willing to ven- ture prediction as to when the Ger man collapse may come
 There have been indications that the allied commanders have been intent on the destruction of the morale German soldier as much as on forcing their way forward in recent battles. The lavIsh expenditure of artillery ammu- nltlon in which they have engaged steadily Tor months may have been de- jigned largely to shake the nerves of the men among whom the shells were falling day and night. The results of todays drive, some officers believe, may prove clearly that the demon strated preponderance of allied artil- lery, shown repeatedly to the men of both armies, has served not only to hearten the men of the British and French armies and instill into them confidence in the final outcome of the war, but has equally served to depress and make doubtful the rank and file of the Germans.
 There are many observers, also, who DelleNt tildt WllH the GeTnlanS forced back out of the more rugged country, the fighting may assume more onen character next spring. In the wide level lands into which the battle lines are being carried, there is no strong natural position. Sandbags must re- place ridges and concrete and steel the hills that have made possible the small forts which have held up many a charge heretofore
 Coupled with this goes the sugges tion that real strategic operations may become possible next year for the first time since the armies dug in after the retreat from the Marne. Spring may see gigantic movements set afoOt to break the deadlock of trench warfare. Whether a combined land and sea as- sault on the exposed flank of the Ger man line might be included. no officer would predict.

Many Prisoners Taken

LONDON, Oct. 4-ThouSandS of prisoners have been taken by the Brit ish in the new drive against the Ger mans which was begun this morning east of Ypres in Flanders All the ob- jectives of the British were won, in cluding positions characterized by Field Marshal Haig's report from head quarters tonight as "of great import ance."
 The text of the report from British headquarters in France tonight reads:
 Our attack this morning was launched on a front of over eight miles, from south of Tower Hamlets to the Ypres- -Staden railway, north of Lange- marck and has been completely sue cessful. All our objectives have been gained, positions of great importance having been won and over 5000 Ger man prisoners have already reached the collecting stations.
 We are now in possession of the main ridge up to point 1000 yards north of Broodseinde."
