A mar named Scott, from Mime

charge of operating an automobile
with but one license number, and
paid a fine in Justice SponholZ's
court this afternoon. In the conver-

titled to operate any cars with num-

other material than that furnished
by the authorities. According TO the
law as read in the justice office, the
dealer is expected to pay IS for a Ii
cense, and two license number plates
will be furnished him without any ad-
ditional charge, but for other dupli-

requires him to equip his cars, he
shall pay SO cents each. But there

ANOTHER I. VARIETY
CAN Be GROWN HERE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. g.
After fifteen years OF experimentation
in breeding and selection, plant spec
! ialists of the U. S. Department OF Ag-
riculture have succeeded in developing
a second new variety of the valuable
Egyptian cotton grown in this country.
The new variety is considered to De
superior in several respects to the va
riety now in use. Sufficient seed of the
Type, which is known as the Pima, has
been raised to plant 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. 1t is hoped that from
this crop sufficient seed will be obtain
ed to plant the entire ton-grow1ng
area of the valley in 1918, if the sub
stitution of the new variety for the
one now grown is then believed to be
desirable.
The variety of Egyptian cotton now
being grown in the Salt River Valley is
the first new type developed in this
country and is known as the Yuma va
riety The Pima cotton produces a
longer. finer, and lighter-colored fibre
than the Yuma, and for this reason
should command 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 more profitable to produce since it
is more productive and earlier, has
larger bolls, and is more easily picked
owing to the greater freedom of the
plants vegetative limbs. =.
The Pima variety originated in 1910
with a plant selected out of a field of
Yuma cotton grown at the Cooperative
Testing and Demonstration Garden,
at Sacaton, Arizona, and has been
carefully tested since. 1t is much
more uniform and truer to type than
the Yuma. The Pima was given its
first tests on a field scale in 1916, when
275 acres were planted The planting
in 1917 will be in a continuous area 50
as to avoid -pOllination with
yuma cotton. Egyptian cotton is es-
pecially liable to cross ollination be-
tween types, an occurrence which con
teammates and is likely to ruin a good
variety. The planting of the Pima cot
ton in a continuous area will also fac
ilitate ginning under conditions MAX
ing possible the avoidance of the mix
ture of Pima and Yuma seed.
