The idea Of such meeting was sug-

tation for conservatism on industrial

most powerful unit in the recent re-
moval of the radical element from the

to study and solve these problems

President Won KleinSmid is in re-
ceipt of letter from Dr. George F.
Freeman, formerly head of the plant
breeding department Of the university,
now with the 'Societe Sultanienne
DAgriculture Of Cairo, Egypt. This
letter will be Of interest to cotton
growers in Arizona. He writes:
Cotton breeding here is not so
much question of further increasing
the length of the fiber and productivity
OF the plant as it is to get an earlier
plant having the same qualities as that
now grown. This is caused by the fact
that all of the late cotton, that OPEN
ing after October 10, is DESTROYED by
the pink bollworm. This amounts to
at least half the crop throughout
Egypt. You certainly should be thank
full that you do not have this pest in
Arizona and you should take every
precaution to prevent its entrance into
the state"
While Dean G. NJ. Butler OF the Col
lege of Mines and Engineering was at
tending the American Mining congress
at ST. Louis, he introduced a resolu-
tion calling upon congress to pass II
law providing for the leasing of coal
lands on Indian reservations 1t was
adopted unanimously by the mining
congress.
1t is well known fact that enor-
nous deposits of good coal exist in
ARIZONA, but so far as known, these
deposits are all on Indian reservations
and not pound can be placed on the
market under present conditions. The
passage of such law would undoubt-
eddy reduce the price of fuel in this
state. and provide Arizona with an
other new and important industry
Dean Butler has been interested in
hopeful that a change may be brought
this matter for two years and he ts
about in the near future.
