ARIZONA's BIG COTTON CROP

Arizona has 115,00O acres of cotton, which, judging from July conditions, would give, according to Field Agent Harris. 44,000 bales of long staple and 10000 bales of short staple, an increase of 22 per cent in the long staple cotton over last year, and the same yield in short staple as last year. As far as the Buckeye Valley is concerned the acreage is much less than last year and will continue to be less than last year and will con tinue to be less for some years to come. With alfalfa yielding from 400 to 500 pounds of seed per acre and selling at 20 cents per pound and tawo crops a year, there is absolutely nc excuse for fooling along with an un- certain crop like cottop.--Buckeye News.
