CHANDLER ALSO TAKES WEALTH FROM COTTON

pany was represented by gin in | Chandler, while in May of 1918 a new, independent gin was assured for this district. The people of Chandler sub scribed s7,500 and B. B. Mccall, who had recently come to Arizona from the Sea Island district of Florida, where he had had extensive experi- ence with cotton of the short staple variety. put up 9 like amount, thus in-
 surfing the construction of the new gin
 which was completed in time to gin
 this seasop's crop. The new gin was
 termed the Chandler Egyptian Cotton
 Ginning company, and is essentially
 cooperative gin, working in conjunc-
 ton with the growers of this district.
 From it's small beginning, cotton
 culture has grown in and around
 Chandler until last year something
 over N,000 acres of land were put into
 cotton in this section alone. Last sea- son the production of this section was only 2.200 bales while this season esti-
 mates made from figures now available place the production at almost double
 last years figures.
 The initial gin of this district, erected by the Chandler Improvement com pany, was purchased by the Southwest Cotton company which is now operat- ing it. The other gin in Chandler is the new Chandler Egyptian Cotton l Ginning company. The former gin is equipped with 10 gin stands with a capacity of 20 bales day. Last year 1 this sin handled 2,200 bales while this | season 5000 bales seem assured. Be- 1 ing the first year it is operating, a small turnout was expected, but even so this gin will handle 1,500 bales be- l fore the season is over.
 The average production of cotton in ! this district this season averaged a l little better than 300 pounds of lint ! cotton 10 the acre. or about three ! fifths of a bale, which is doing pretty | N ell, as the average heretofore of the | Salt River Valley as a whole has not
 exceeded F. bale to the acre.
 Allowing 4.500 bales of cotton as | the production this season, and as
 suming 800 pounds per bale, at pres | ent prices the value of this years cot | ton crop for Chandler is s1,327, ,5o0 which is not a despicable addition to ! the income in better business houses

 ness interests, added population and
 in general, added prosperity and ! growth throughout the district

CHANDLER COTTON DISTRICT IS ONE OF THE VERY RICHEST

Chandler are two 10-stand gins with a capacity of 20 bales apiece daily. Both gins are being crowded to the maximum to handle the cotton in the district. but so much has cotton grown here, that there is no doubt that next season will see substantial enlarge ments in the gins, materially increas- ing their capacity.
 Last season the Southwest Cotton company gir at Chandler ginned 2.200 bales of cotton. This season the same gin has handled 2,3S2 bales up to the 10th of February and expects to gin 2,000 bales before the season is over The Chandler Egyptian Cotton Gin ming company obtained a late start in the ginning season. but has even so already ginned 620 bales of cotton and expects to handle l,500 before the close of the season.
 The average yield in this district has been estimated at something over 300 pounds of lint cotton to the acre, but exact figures are not available until all the cotton is picked.
 Possibly the best authority on cot ton in the Chandler district is George R. Johnson, who has been identified with the cotton industry here as a grower ever since it was introduced. Mir. Johnson has prepared the follow

st that time averaged about half a Dale Co the acre, but with the yield from the Gilbert district, and other nearby communities. something over loco bales were handled in Chandler that first year. Last season a pro- tuction of 2200 bales of cotton was en- loved by this district. while this year from an acreage of about 10000 a yield of 4.000 bales was obtained. The 10000 acreage includes something like 5000 acres in the new Southwest Cot ton Reclamation Project the Goodyear district. which lies six miles southwest of Chandler.
 The value of this years crop. assum- ing 800 pounds Of lint cotton to the bale at a price of 59 cents per pound, is si.1S0.0OO. This is a material addi- tion Co the yearly income of any town. and Chandler shows the effect of the new era In added prosperity through out.

With an area Of 10000 acres devoted to the culture of long staple cotton of the very finest grade. the Chandler district is an important division of the Salt River Valley cotton producing section. The introduction of cotton therc has brought with it the same story of extraordinary success. added prosperity to the community, and wealth to the growers as it has in the other cotton growing communities in this part of the state.
 Six years ago Chandler was nothing moro nor less than a small town set in the midst Of the desert, but now, in the year 1919. what @ contrast. No longer a town of mediocre appearance set in the midst Of hostile. unreclaimed wastes Of land, but a thriving, beau tiful town. town of substantial. live business concerns.

 'In my opinion the chief problem in the culture of cotton is the irriga- tion. In this respect, though it may be safe to say, give the plants all they need of water and no more. Some soils will do well if irrigated every 10 to 15 days after being chopped to a stand. Richer soils will make a good crop with one to three irrigations.

 Early in the cotton game. Chandler, realizing the big things in store for 1hn new industry established a gin. This gin took care of the ginning op- crations of the entire district for four or five years, but last year the cotton industry had outgrown the accommo- dations offered by one gin, and a sec- ond gin, The Chandler Egyptian Cot Ton Ginning company, a farmers CO., operative gin. was established and now both gins are working to capacity.

Gradually the espionage law works
itself into the thing Of terror and
tyranny which the wiser liberals pre-
dicted. Many radicals, religious and
political, have fallen into it's net, but
so far not one proven enemy Of the
country. Those who thought at first
that the arbitrary power granted to
officials and courts by it would be used
only against the radical German SYM
pathizers, awoke to find that it made
a handy means for plausible frame
ups against organized farmers and
workers.
Now the United States d district
court sitting at New Orleans has
found a negro railway worker guilty
under it for urging it's fellow workers
to strike for better conditions. The
Judge charged the jury to bring in a
verdict of guilty " if it found the
facts bore out the contention Of the
government attorney that the defend
ant had hampered the government in
the operation Of the railroads" H.
An absurd application of the law,
of course! But so is the logic that
defends every piece Of outrageous in
Justice. Men in office who are given
arbitrary power naturally use it alb
surdly from the general point of view,
but for their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

The workers Of Winnipeg are con-
Quoting the most remarkable strike
America has seen. It has absolutely
tied up the city Of Winnipeg. It has
been entirely without violence, due to
the watchfulness Of the labor men.
It is a fight for union recognition and
for living wages. Canada has allowed
even more bold and unprincipled prof.
teering than we have, and this strike
is the first effective protest against
the results Of it in the terms of living
conditions.
Winnipeg labor has a splendid
chance of winning because labor there
it at last organized so as to work as
a unit the way the employers do. But
it is unfortunate that the working
people in such enlightened countries
as Canada and the United States have
to suffer the rigors Of a strike to get
simple justice. Perhaps they are part
ly to blame, because if they had or
gained long ago and voted with the
farmers they could have captured the
government and so prevented the bad
conditions against which they now
have to use direct action.

The WEEK

Perhaps it is the season Of the year
which makes ideas for reconstruction
bloom so luxuriantly in .polictical
minds. The other day a delegation of
of soldiers and sailors called on Mayor
Hylan Of New York in regard to un-
employment. Putting his hand affec-
tionately on the shoulder of the
spokesman this brilliant chief of our
greatest city said:
81 have been thinking about you
boys and I have refused applications
for peddlers' licenses because
thought you might need them"
Now that our boys have licked those
Germans in war they can surely beat
the Jews and the Italians in crying
oranges, bananas, cabbages, old
clothes and other wares which New
York peddlers deal in. Why do farm
ers and workers agitate when men in
either one of the two old parties can
furnish such happy solutions to theil
hardest problems? - -,

Are the people of the Northwest
more stupid than those in many other
parts Of the world and even our owl
country? Most Of our "best@pAople'
seem to think SO, for thaB-ara quite
sure that neither North Dakota moi
Minnesota could run a state-owned ele-
vator system. And all the while
Louisiana is making a big success of
a cotton warehouse and port system,
including q 100000 'bushel grain ele-
vator. T. =.
In a recent official report Mayor
Behrman of New Orleans says:
I'm the harbor of New Orleans is
seen a strikingly successful applica-
ton of the doctrine of public owner
ship and operation Of public utilities.
Sixty per cent of the port facilities
have been built or developed by the
dock board, a state institution. Ia the
II years this board has had charge
it has exepnded $15,000,000 on wharv-
es, steel sheds, elevators and ware
houses. All are served by the public
belt line railroad, another triumph OF
public ownership"
IF we were only as wise as those
people Of Louisiana we could save q
lot of money in the handling of crops
and other produce. Now the Nonpar-
tisan League farmers differ with the
"best people" in that they think we
are as wise as the people Of Louisiana.
Which are right? The farmers are
