The association will furnish ,seed Of
the Pima Egyptian cotton at cost to
ali Who enter the club. This cotton ia
conceded to be the longest staple and

varieties. Pima cotton was deyeloned

THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF PIMA
COTTON TO Be PLANTED IN 1918
COUNTY HORTICULTURAL COMMISSIONER GIVES
REVIEW OF PROMISING EGYPTIAN COTTON.
Arrangements Have Been Completed to Ship Large
Quantities of Seed From Salt River Valley
Arizona, to the Imperial Valley.

The growing of Egyptian cotton in
the United States was started in the
year 1900, and in 1902 Egyptian cot
ton seed was distributed by the De-
partment of Agriculture and planted
in Barstow, Tex; Carlsbad, N. NJ;
Yuma, Ariz., and Calexico, Cal. These
experiments were failures, both as
to yield and quality, for three years.
Continued selection, breeding and i'm
proved culture methods, along with
seed acclimation, brought the enter
price to a profitable condition. In
1907, at Yuma, the lint per acre was
recorded at 900 pounds, with the fl
bre on and one-half inches long, very
strong and of the delicate brown col
or so much desired. Of the four prin-
cipal varieties of cotton grown in
Egypt G,500,000 acres of Egyptian
cotton in Egypt the seed of the Nit
afifi was used in this country. For
various reasons the work was con-
centrated in Yuma. 1t was through
selection of plants at Yuma that the
variety known as Pima was devel-
oped. This was grown at the United
States Experiment Station on the
Pima Indian reservation. This season
there are 10000 acres of Pima and
Yuma cotton in the Salt River val
ley. Next year it is estimated there
will be at least 100000 acres of Pi-
ma planted in that valley. 1t is
claimed by those in authority that
Pima has longer fibre, is stronger and
has less waste than any of the other
long staples. George Butterworth,
government expert cotton classifier
for the Bureau Of Markets, made the
above statement. He states that
there is 5.73 per cent less waste in
Pima cotton than in fancy Sea ISL
nd and that the sooner this Egyp-
tan cotton grown in the Southwest
comes on the market in large guam
titles the better. 1t is claimed by the
department that a small amount of
alkali is beneficial, as it checks the
with, hastens ripening, and i'm
proves the length and strength of the
fibre. The United States Department
of Agriculture also states that this
valley is well adapted to the grow
I ing of Egyptian cotton. having dem
onstrated that a yield of one to two
bales per acre is possible, and the
fibre has been pronounced by the ex-
perts as equal to the better grades
imported from Egypt.
! The principal objection to growing
! this cotton is the added cost of la
Dor in picking on account of the bolls
being smaller. This condition can
and will be met, as it has already
been met in the Salt River valley.
The picking of Egyptian is not as
difficult as picking short staple cot
ton and anyone can learn to pick the
long staple, while it requires training
from boyhood to be good short sta
pie picker. Egyptian must be picked
clean, which makes it necessary to
pick much slower than the short sta
pie, consequently it is easier to learn.
The added price of fibre gives mar
pin to handle the added cost Short
staple is now quoted at about %
cents while Pima is 80 cents a
pound.
Egyptian cotton is largely used for
mixing with silk and for the manu-

FARM LABOR IS
AN IMPORTANT
QUESTION NOW
State Development Board Gives Re-
view of the Farm Labor Situation,
and Holds Pessimistic View That
There Will Be Fewer Workers for
Farms in Spring Than Now.
To the Farmers of California:

To the Farmers of California:
The farm labor situation in this
state is not only serious. but at the
present time is menace to increased
production for next season, and we
have not yet begun to fight. "The
best the nation breeds" is being taken
by the selective draft and the second,
third and successive drafts will take
more. Santa Clara county has al
4eady lost 5000 of her best young
men by the first draft. More will
go, and next years fruit harvest is
threatened, although the more opti-
mistic hope to pull through, or at
least do the best they can with their
women and children.
Agricultural sections throughout
the state are being rapidly depleted
of strong and husky farmers.
The secretary of the farmers COM
mittee of the California Development
Board ras heard from numerous sour
ces of farmers who will plant no
more than they can cultivate and har-
vest with the force of their immedi-
ate families. This, of course, will
mean a greatly decreased production.
In some instances S. and Sc per day
was paid last harvest for farm labor.
The farmer says he cannot and will
not pay this wage, nor can he any
more than banker could be expect
ed to loan money for less interest
than he pays his depositors.
The war is rapidly approaching
home. In New York two pounds of
sugar is all householder may buy
at one time. Other foodstuffs are
rising in price and the East and Mid
die West are calling on the Pacific
Coast for food. Your boy has gone
to the trenches. He must be fed.
How long, no one knows
The patched-up truce with Russia
may enable Germany to prolong the
struggle indefinitely. Europe cannot
feed her own troops and civil popu-
lation. They look to us for help.
Without increased labor our produc-
ton of staples will be greatly de-
ceased
Many demand the conscription of
labor. The secretary has yet to find
a farmer who will accept conscript-
ed laborer, or farm labor that has
never seen a team harnessed, a field
plowed or seed planted.
Furthermore, they forgest that the
government cannot conscript alien
residents for any purpose.
In its efforts to reach a consensus
of opinion with refernce to the i'm
portation of labor, the committee oc-
casionally meets with this argument:
"We are opposed to the importation
of labor; our country will ltry and get
along somehow" That is entirely
wrong. Somehow" will not do; we
have to produce food, and produce it
in greater quantities than ever be-
fore. 1t is not county viewpoint,
but state, national and international.

ready have 250,000 Chinese in their
