VALLEY COTTON CROP STATUS 96 PER CENT |S OFFICIAL REPORT
 sIl1HKXi
5I.AG HkE

CHANDLER, Aug. 5.-The cotton crop of the Salt River Valley is 96 per cent perfect. This is the official compilation just completed from fig ures gathered by w. H. Knox, secre- tary of the Arizona Cotton Growers Association, who was Chandler visitor on Thursday with C. H. Prather. treasurer of the organization The men were down for the purpose of establishing a branch here so local growers can secure help without go- ing to Tempe. George R. Johnson will be in charge and will open an office September 1. All growers should ap- ply to him for workers.
 In discussing the cotton situation MT. Knox said: There are S0,000 acres planted to long staple in this section of Arizona. This valley has 7S,O0O acres, with the remainder at Casa 'Grande and Florence. The stand is more nearly perfect than it has ever been in its history in the val ley We estimate this seasons crop at 10000 bales, and figuring on a basis of s35O bale, the crop will bring s14,- 1 000,000. This is on a basis of SO cents d pound. The present market price 1 is 56 cents.
 Last year Maricopa County's total products totalled s12.O00,O00, and of this s6.000.000 was from cotton. The importance of the cotton crop can be estimated from this. when it is seen that half the countys farm wealth was derived from the fibre. The ratio will be even larger this year. While do not expect the price to hold up as well in the future as it is now doing, I believe that the decline in price will be gradual. For this reason l would like to urge on all growers to be most careful in operating their farms. Don't waste your resources
 don't be extravagant in paying fancy
 prices for labor. and above all keep close tab on your expenses by keeping
 them down, which is the true founda-
 tion of every successful business"
