tically unanimous in making the change as soon as sufficient seed ot the Pima variety was available. This policy of using only one type and va riety of seed and using every precau ton to protect the planting seed has already given the Salt River valley high reputation for the uniformity or its product
 According to T. H. Kearney, physiol- ogist of the United States department of agriculture, manufacturers have eN- pressed doubt as to the maintaining of the type, at least on its present high basis MT. Kearney, however. is of the opinion that this can be done He states that from all experience gained. the grade will remain as high as it is at present, so long as the present policy of the cotton growers is adhered to.
 There is not the least reason to fear that Pima cotton will cease 10 maintain its excellence and unitor- mity." states MT. Kearney. NO sclen- tific foundation has ever been found he continues. flor the belief that va rieties run out spontaneously when proper precautions are taken to pre- vent hybridizing and mixing Of seed So long as these things are guarded against as effectively as is now the case in the Salt River valley, deterlo- ation is not to be expected

The Salt River valley cotton grow
 CTS are indeed fortunate in having an ample supply of pure high grade seed, according to eminent authorities who have investigated this field for the United States government. Ali the other leading cotton regions. Egypt. the Sea Island district and the so- called Peeler Districts suffer from the handicap of growing several varieties of cotton. In this valley through the cooperation of. the ranchers and the government, the high grade Pima long staple cotton has alone been developed
 The Pima variety as grown here or iginated from d single plant selected in 1910 from a field of Yuma cotton grown at Sacaton. From this small start the government with the aid Of the ranchers and public spirited cit izcns interested in the development'o this district, has come to a position where it is possible to. supply the de- m:tnd in this locality for seed. The supply of cotton seed is protected by stringent regulations from contami- nation from any source. Success along tlis line has been greatly facilitated by the determination of the Salt River valley growers to plant only the Egyptian type of cotton, and by the fact that when it was decided to sub stitute the Pima variety for the older Yuma variety the growers were prac-

So far IS has been as certained this is the record for any one wagon load of cotton ever trans ported to gin in the valley.
 The cotton was produced by c. R. Tifal, one of the leading southside growers. on his ranch near Chandler and an eight mule team was required to haul the wagon and its contents to the Mesa gin. So heavy was the

 Thus far and nd farther" it has said to that demi-world Of confidence men, safe crackers, stick ups, dips and strong arm experts. Anyone of them who infringed on this rule stood in danger of being picked up' on sight.
 After that it was merely a formal ity to find something to charge him with.
 The police are inclined to believe that a--safe cracker is the head of a gang which has made dead line safes is speciality. In at least one case a safe was opened without the use ot either jimmies or dynamite. Tn the other instances jimmy was em- ployed.
 Two of the robberies were at No. 61 Broadway. just below Wall street. Two safes were opened in the office of the International Agricultural cor poration and one in the suite of the United Gas and Electric Engineering Corporation. At No. 120, the Equft- able building, a safe in the office of the Pittsburg Steel company was robbed. The other burglary occurred in the office of Deering & Deering, at torneys at No. 135 Broadway.

 This policy inencouraging the pro- auction of long staple cotton on the community basis is beginning to be ap-

 buyers, many of whom realize that to

 of the type by seed selection, and to class and market their crop as unit

single load that it had to be divided and weighed in two separate lots oD the scales at the Mesa plant. Seven and half bales were estimated to be included in the lot for which the South west Cotton company paid a total of s2,93090.
 At various times through the 1919 cotton season in the valley, it had been the endeavor of growers to establish a new record with an extra heavy load and a short time previous to Tifafs appearance, Henry Scott of Phoenix, set a new mark with the delivery to one of the Phoenix gins of 13,0Sc pounds. Other growers had near equalled this from time to time.
 According to officials at the various gins on the southside no load has ever been delivered to equal Tifars record of 15,91S pounds. His record stands for 1919 and authorities contend that it will likely remain as such for sev- era1 years to come.

Cooperation has been the keynote of success in the growing of cotton in the Salt River valley. The history of the establishment of the industry here is of more than special or local interest since it offers a good illustration of the numerous biological, agronomic, social and economic difficulties en- countered in developing a new agricul- tural enterprise. In fact the whole story of the development here of the Pima long staple cotton is one which furnishes suggestions as to how these complex and diversified problems may well be met.
 In developing this region to it's pres ent high standard, cooperation has extended along four lines.
 First cooperation among the inves- tigators has brought the solution of the special problems, different equip ments of technical training and knowl- edge and different points of view, while their collective judgment has been focused on matters of general policy. The cordial and effective CO., operation of the administrative off cers of the Department of Agriculture has also been an important factor in this connection.
 Second, cooperation among the growers and the investigators has made it possible to put into effect
 
 methods of production and marketing. This cooperation has been maintained by personal contact, since in addition to the field agents of the department who have worked constantly in the community. members of the committee on Southwestern Cotton Culture have made frequent visits to the Salt River valley. The attitude of the officers and members of the growers associ- ation in their cooperation with the Department of Agriculture has been one of the most cordial and helpful character and has been an important factor in the establishment of the in- GuStry.
 Fourth, cooperation with the cotton manufacturers on the part of both in vestigators and growers has also con tributed largely to the development Of the industry. Manufacturers have as sisted most willingly and effectively m making spinning tests of the product from time to time and in furnishing to the depa rtment of agriculture and to the growers association useful in formation concerning the cotton. This information has guided the growers to better methods of handling the prod uct and has given the investigators helpful suggestions in connection with
