COTTON ON COMMUNITY BASIS

one kind of cotton and adequate sup plies of pure seed have been demonstrated ccnclusively in the Salt River valley of Arizona. which now has the largest body or uniformly pure cotton in the world
 The first communities that were organ
 ized in different parts of the cotton belt are being utilized in the same way as
 sources of supply of pure seed for other
 communities that are beginning to organ
 ize.
 COTTON'S RELATION TO FOOD
 While it is important that more diver
 sified farming be put into practice in
 most sections of the south. and the need of each district producing it's own food as far as this can be done is recognized, the fundamental relation of the cotton in-
 dustry to other crops should not be over
 looked, the specialists say. Tn humid re- gions the effect of the boil weevil is to compel or at least to encourage the re- placement of cotton with other crops, but l in the drier parts of Texas and the adja- cent states the relative importance of cot | ton as the chief reliance of the farmer has increased during the period of weevil invasion, because the pest is less injuri- | ous in dry climates. H. | While a large aggregate volume of other products is grown in the, dry regions, cot l ton serves as the basic crop, being suffi- ciently reliable to keep the people on the
 land, so that the other ventures are made possible. 9t

"When the C0nstantinople question is

starting a fire that caused considerable
damage before It could be extinguished.
It Is supposed that one CT the men

with a shock OF wheat. Within a few
seconds after the flames were discov-

about 60 tons was ablaze and was total
ly destroyed.
An alarm was sent 10 both Whining

Liberty Company OF this city and the
Good VIII Fire Company OF New Castle
rushed 10 the Burris farm. The FIRE
men did excellent work in keeping the
blaze from spreading.
In addition to the large amount oi
straw which is worth 500 a ton at this
time. about 100 bushels OF wheat that
had been threshed and about the same
quantity in the shock was burned
About 1000 bushels OF wheat threshed
was saved. A large hog was also burn
ed. Several other hogs nearby were
driven TO safety but this one ran into
the fire and was consumed.

assistance.
The thresher was recently purchased
