LOCAL COTTON MAN HAS INTERESTING
 HISTORY IN GAME

The story of Herbert B., Atha's achievement with long staple cotton is an especially interesting one. MT. Atha was one of the pioneer growers of long staple cotton in the valley. He is now the head of the Arizona -Egyp- ton Cotton company, which operates the largest individual ginning plant in the valley, the only cotton oil refinery in the state and the largest seed crush ing plant.
 It was while he was in the steA business with the Benjamin Atha com pany of Reward. New Jersey, that Mir. Atha decided, about 1900 to go back to the farm" and came to Arizona. He engaged in ranching in the valley about 1900 and made discovery which spelled a big development both for the valley and himself.
 Cotton seed, which he accidentally planted with cowpeas led to his dis covery that cotton crop might be raised with profit on his land. His cowpeas died, he saw too well, but the cotton he had inadvertently planted ficurished.
 Atha got in touch with Campbell Clark of the Clark Thread company and E. Martin Phillippi of the Amer jean Thread company and interested tt em in experiments he was making.
 Through the United States depart IDtnI Ot i'll 1Jll le ODtdtiitu enough cotton seed to plant five acres to cotton. His first crop, one of the first long staple crops in the valley, amounted tc about one bale.
 Mesa farmers the following year cid5bed together. and put in about 150 aoles. MT. Atha put in 1S0 acres an raised some 12O baies of long staple cotton He found it impossible to haul his cotton to Sacaton, so he installed a two stand gin on his ranch and e,nned, in addition to his own cr3p. about 20 bales which Indians had raised on their land nearby
 Late in 1912 Mir. Philippi and R. C. keer of the American Thread com pany, came to Arizona to inspect the cotton Mir. Atha had raised and before they left plans for the organization of a few company were virtually perfect

NEW TYPE OF GIN SET UP IN LOCAL
 COMPLAINTS PLANT

Doing the work of three gins the first Peterson Moves gin ever to be in troduced in this district was set up at the plant of the Arizona-Egyptian Cotton company yesterday. The Pe- terson-Noyes gin is a radical departure from the ordinary method of ginning cotton. They have practically sup planted the old fashioned gin formerly in use in the Sea Island district, and have served to cut down both the cost of labor and power.
 According to H. R. Moves, who is here with F. l.. Peterson. the inventor, the gins can be operated at one tenth the cost of the ordinary gin. The need for a double roller type of gin first be- came apparent to MT. Peterson, when he discovered that in the ginning of long staple cotton, the staple was in jured to the extent of from two to ten cents per pound. He set to work, and evolved the principle which he has incorporated in the Peterson Moves gin.
 A few of the features of the new type of gin are that the stripper blades are the full length of the gin and are connected with the driving shaft by single lever or rocker arm, entirely eliminating hinges, with the result that there is no lost motion or vibration. whether the gin is carrying cotton or not
 The gin heads extend out beyond the rollers. completely covering their ends so that no cotton can become wedged or wadded around the hearings.
 The Peterson Moves gins are auto matic in their operation requiring only one man to attend four gins. By the novel devise of an oscillating board the cotton is fed automatically to the gin, first to one side and then to the other. It is said that the output of a gin is increased at least 25%o by the use of an automatic feeder which is installed on the Peterson Moves gins. This increase is made possible by the fact that the seed cotton is fed to the gin only as fast as the gin will take care of it, thus keeping the seed grates comparatively free from lint cotton and allowing the seeds to drop through as fast as they are freed from the lint.
 Both MT. Moves and MT. PetersoA will remain in Phoenix for some time, demonstrating the work of their ma chine. They sent the machine to Phoenix by express, in order that it might arrive here in time to gin sam ples of the long staple cotton grown here.

COTTON CONSIGNMENT

Pools of cotton running into good quantities always command much bet ter prices. This has been proved by the fact that the growers association has been able to sell car lots at a price ten cents per pound higher than single bale sales.
 The Sea Island cotton being prac- tically wiped out, the spinners of extra staple are naturally looking toward the production of Arizona and California with considerable interest. They are much more interested in quantities of this cotton on spot" in Boston or Providence, than in the same cotton in small lots here in Arizona
 This is the service these people pro- vide. The cotton is shipped to ware houses in the east, assembled in quan- tity of even grade. and offered there in large pools. The result is the se- curing of the highest possible price to the grower. In fact, the grower is all ways sure of the best market. or at the price he believes his cotton to be worth, as it is not sold except upon his order or at the minimum price set by the grower when he cOnsigns.

By M- P. Smith, representing Calder G Richmond and Peoples Ma
 tionaI Bank of Boston

Cotton consignment is a term that possibly may not be well understood fy some newcomers in the Salt River valley, who have never had occasion to use the service provided by Calder & Richmond and the Peoples Ma tional Bank of Boston.
 The latter have been doing c, wool consignment business in Arizona for the past ten years, and have provided so satisfactory a service that approxi- mately S0eo of the wool produced in the state is now consigned to them and sold as "spot" in Boston.
 They entered the cotton consign- ment field here last year at the re- quest of some prominent wool men who were raising cotton, who with others, had considerable amount of late pickings for which there was no local market, even at as low a figure as 40 cents. This cotton was consigned to Boston, and was sold there as "spot" at prices running as high as so cents per pound.
Arizona republican., 1920-02-20

The cotton is handled on a strictly commission basis Of one cent per pound. This consignment method of handling cotton is one of the finest methods of protection possible, but it cannot be maintained unless a suffi cient amount of cotton is consigned an- nually to make it an established bus mess. There is every reason to be- iieve, however, that this business will be maintained in the valley, as con- siderable cotton has been consigned al- ready, and more is in prospect.

Egyptian Cotton company also in stalled an oil mill and machinery for the manufacture of cotton seed meal and cake The latter product, known as Kapco cold pressed cotton seed cake is enjoying a demand far in ex- cess of the supply. Its manufacture is accomplished by forcing the seed through very small opening under enormous pressure. Vhis is done by a revolving screw press similar in oper- ation to ordinary meat grinder.

ed. In 1913 MT. Atha had completed the organization of his company and installed a seven stand gin at Phoenix. The company was named the Arizona
 Egyptian Cotton company, and it too. became pioneer in modern methods of handling the crop, as well as in the manufacture of cotton products here.
 The Arizona Egyptian Cotton com pany's gin has grown from the original seven stands to sixteen, with a daily output of about 40 bales. The Arizona
