including rent of land S25. growing at $75 and picking at Sc a pound. The long staple grower has slight ad- vantage in the lar0er quantity of seed produced with one bale of lint which to between SC and S when cotton seed is worth $50 ton. This will approximately offset the differ ence in the cost of ginning. Al the. most the advantage in the total cost of producing. picking and ginning short staple cotton as compared with the long staple, figuring each at the rate of one bale per acre. amounts to S25.
 No person with ordinary business sense would expect short staple cotton 10 sell for above 2Jc a pound in 1919 or thereafter. As matter of fact there Is likelihood Of the price dropping be- low 20 cents a pound. At the 25c rate, allowing for the value of the seed, there would be a profit of approXi- mately S25 an acre if the production averaged one bale per acre. Arizona E~~ptian cotton is normally worth about two and onefourth times as much as short staple so that if short staple cottOn's value is to be fore casted at 25c a pound Egyptian cotton must be figured at COG or above. h. ttuuluB lle SeEu, tIle gross returns IIOil one bale ~f Egyptian cotton at the ratt of one bale per acre would be about SS30. Deducting expenses, Egyptian cotton would have. according to the above figures. an advantage of slS0 an acre over short staple cotton.
 Production Per Acre
 A great deal of transformation in regard to short staple cotton is due to absurd claims for the production or certain new and improved varieties Not long ago a man who did not pre- tend tO know anything about the cotton industry except what he had been told by experienced" eastern cotton grow CTS referred to the average yield of short stapl cotton in the eastern cotton belt as around two bales per acre. With such a yield short staple cotton would unquestionably rival Egyptian cotton for supremacy in MaricOpa county. Un- fortunately the figures show that the actual average yield of short staple cot ton is close to only a sixth part of the two imaginary wales. One hundred and fifty-s pounds of lint is approximate ly the average yield of short staple cotton in the southern states in recent years while before the boil weevl was present to cut down the crop the aver age yield was about 225 pounds of lint per acre.

Egyptian Gotten and Short Staple Cotton, by A. w. Merrill,
 State Entomoloqist

To is unnecessary tO discuss for the benefit of those who are informed in regard Co the cotton industry the req son why the farmers of the Salt River Valley and adjacent territory have ahandouei short staple varieties and grow only the Arizona or American Egyptian cotton. Nevertheless the question sometimes is raised by per sons who are misinformed or by strangers and for the information of such persons it is not out of place to present the facts in reeard to this mat tcr. lt is not necessary to present Ifagthy arguments for or against long ur short staple cotton The simple statement of cold facts is sufficient 10 make plain to any intelligent person tbe financial reason why it Is imprac- tcahle to grow short staple cotton in Naricupa county.
 Producing Costs Compared
 Short staple cotton Is adapted to localities where land values are low ard labor is cheap. It costs as much tp raise crop of short staple cotton as | does Co grow @ crop Of long stap'e. In Naricopa county the cost of grow ing and picking a bale Co the acre or snort staple cotton amounts to Sl22.J0, uolnting rent at the low rate of s2j Hn acre, growing costs at S75 an acre and picking at 1iac a pound. Long

portion Of Egyptian cotton has out | ranked every other cotton growing | state in the country in the amount of | cotton lint produced per acre during the past two seasons. California ranked | second in 1917 with 242 pounds as against Arizona's 2S5 pounds per acre, while in 1918 the estimates of the de- partment of agriculture placed Ari- zona's yreld per acre at 2S0 pounds as against 270 pounds for Virginia, which ranks second in respect to yield per acre.
 In Mcricopa county. Arizona -Egyp- tian cotton can be relied upon to pro- duce as much or more lint per acre as the best variety of short staple cotton
 In 1916 there were 556 acres on the Salt River Valley reclamation project devoted to the growth of the best va rieties of short staple cotton while
 5417 acres were devoted to the Egys.
 ton cotton of the Yuma variety. The
 yield of lint neT acre as shown by the records of the United States reclama-
 tion service was $50 pounds for both the long and short staple. What is more to the point, the maximum yield
 for short staple reported by any grow
 CT was 500 pounds of lint against 300 pounds of long staple while the poorest yield of short staple was only 100 pounds 70 lint as compared with l5O pounds of long staple. In the Yuma val ley where short staple cotton has been tried out on much larger scale than in the Salt River Valley the yield has always averaged less than a bale per acre.
 In view of past experience no in- 1 formed person would plant short staple cotton in Maricopa county with the ex- 1 pectation of averaging better than bale to the acre and it would be safer ! 10 count on about a half or two- thirds i of bale. Even with bale to the acre | he could not reasonably eXect even to pay expenses unless the crop were 10 ! be sold for more than 20 cents a pound. Outlook AS to Prices for Cotton This brings us to the question of the ! prospective price for the 1919 crop of
 cotton The government reports show
 that the average price of short staple cotton on November for the past nine
 years has been 15.5 cents. The aver
 age war price, includin~ only the last l five crops. has been 1S.5 cents.
 Government agents are already con- ducting a campaign in the eastern
 states to keep down the cotton acreage.

SEES DAY COMING
FOR MISSIONARIES
Dr.. Alexander Tells Students
of Reaction.

Missionaries and dreamers were cham
pioned yesterday by the Rev. DR.. George
Alexander In his sermon delivered at tho
baccalaureate exercises of New York
University.
"we have been living through period
when visions and dreams have been at a
discount" he said. The scientific spirit
has been dominant Hard facts have
been In demand. A materialistic view of
the world has left no room for the mys-
tical.
"A reaction has come. Mans logic
may have no place for the supernatural.
but mans heart cannot do without its
He cited the history OF Judaiem in sup
port OF the proverb, Where there Is no
vision, the people perish"
In speaking OF the high ideals OF the
present time, DR.. Alexander retired
favorably to the League Of Nations, and
said. "the world is now one great neigh
borhood and one nation cannot keep
apart from the Others"
He declared that labor conditions
hood established between the worker and
the employer.
DR.. Alexander chose for the text the
seventeenth verse Of the second chapter
OF The Acts, your young men shall see
Visions
The service was held In the sudito-
rum on the campus of the university
on University Heights. and wae attended
by several hundred students and friends
The Rev. Henry NJ. Brown. the Rev
Percy B. wightman and the Rev. De
Witt Clinton Pelton assisted in the ser
