RISKS INVOLVED . IN GROWING IF . COTTON VARIED

Cotton growers should not overlook the fact that there are elements of risk involved in the growing of any crop, and with cotton the possible serious ones are an infestation of pests, a labor shortage or a broken market The state commission of agriculture and horticulture warns growers to be constantly alert for dangerous pests and discussed quite fully cotton insect rests in Bulletin s7, published by the U diversity experiment station, from which the following quotations are taken:
 The Mexican Cotton Boil Weevil
 Every cotton grower has heard of the Mexican cotton boil weeVn and many farmers now located in Arizona have had experience with it in Texas, Oklahoma and other states of the so- called cotton belt
 There are many different kinds of Weevils and several of these are con- fused by cotton growers with the boil weevll- While it is important for cot lon growers and others to watch care fully for the appearance of strange cot ton pests, it is desirable that speci- mems of such pests be submitted to the state entomologist for identification The adult boil weevil is usually about ne-fourth inch in length, some speci- mems being as small as an eighth of an inch and others as large as one-thfrd inch. The color of the adult is almost Uniformly grayish or brownish. The adult weevil may hibernate in cotton seed, weeds, trash, haystacks, etc. It flies to the cotton fields in the spring and breeding soon begins.
 The Cotton BoiIworm
 The cotton bollworm is an entirely different insect from the boil weevil
Arizona republican., 1920-01-23

but the two are frequently confused. The adult of the bollworm is a large moth which lays it's eggs in large num- bers on various parts of the cotton plant. The eggs are laid singly and not in clusters like the eggs of certain other moths. The bollworms are very variable in color and markings, includ- ing pale green, pinkish and dark brown as the ground color, with markings of green and brown. The cotton boil worm is the same as the corn ear worm and is found everywhere in the country where either cotton or corn is grown. The female moth may lay as many as 5000 eggs. In cases of serious attack on cotton the plants should be poisoned with powdered arsenate of lead or with calcium arsenate.
 The Pink BoIworn
 During the past year occasional references have been made in news papers and farm journals to the Egyp- tian pink bollworm. This insect is re- ported to be even more serious than the cotton boil weevil.
 In 1914 a shipment of cotton seed from Egypt was received by the presi- dent of a cotton ginning company in the Salt River valley of Arizona Upon examination at the office of the state entomologist, this seed was found to be grossly infected with the Egyptian pink boIlworm and was consequently DN IL IS SdIS LO say that if the condition of this seed had not been discovered the pink boll- worm would have become established in Arizona and have made Egyptian cotton growing unprofitable. There is no other cotton pest so we'll adapted for transportation in cotton seed as this one. The fact that the pink boll worm is not confined to cotton as is the cotton boil weevil adds somewhat to the difficulties in controlling or eradicating it.
 Grasshoppers
 Three species of grasshoppers have been observed doing damage to cotton in Arizona. The attacks of these in- sects in large numbers may result in the complete destruction of the croy. In several instances noted the plants have not only been completely stripped of all leaves but the green bark has been gnawed from the main stem and branches. GrasShoppers in cotton growing sections breed principally in

 Pa and Ma never have cross work to speak to Thrift, one of the famfly's young hopefuls
 For Thrift is good little fellow
 Never breaks up his Christmas toys. Never climbs over fences and tears holes in his pants
 Never throws a bah through a win dow.
 And you'd be surprised the way Thrift can wear his clothes. Why, he's had that suit two winters now. and really, it is as good as new,
 I'll say Thrift is a dandy kid to have around the house
 Sufferin' cats! What's that un- earthly noise?
 Oh, that's little Spendthrift knock ing apart his latest toys
 For Spendthrift is the little rascal who puts the biggest dent into papa's pocketbook.
 Goodness sakes. How that guy can wade through dads pay envelope!
 He can wear hole in the knees Of his knickerbockers faster than his brother Thrift can wear out the soles of his shoes.
 Spendthrift never had a nickel that didn't jump right out of his pocket every time he passed 8 candy store. This little fellow can devise more ways of separating father from his loose change than you ever heard tell of

 Now wouldn't it be fine thing if somebody'd kidnap little Spendthrift? Let's suspend the law against kid napers for a while, just long enough to give old man Economy a whack at little Spendthrift!

January 1 we changed our plan of selling real estate and decided upon plan that we thought was beneficial to both seller and purchaser.
 1st-The seller places his proper ty in our hands to sell-upon ex- pressed condition that we advertise and use our best efforts to effect a sale.-
 2nd-The purchaser comes to us in response to our advertising, be- lieving we have what we advertise (and we never advertise anything until we have inspected the property from every angle, then we either

know it is a bargain or that it is not worth the money. If bargain we sell it; if not, we never advertise it). We show our bargain; then it is only short while until the new owner has possession.
 3rd-Our motto here is INSPECT VALUES before advertising. It saves time for both seller and pur- chaser and lots of expenses for the agent.
 Again we say, it is far better to be represented by one reliable realtor than misrepresented by dozen brokers.

OREGON FARMERS WANT
A PROTECTIVE TARIFF
II. n. Stnnfcld Believes They are United
for Republican Policies.

Portland, October 20--Oregon farm
ers have fully awakened to the danger
of hard times that lie ahead unless they
are given tariff protection
This is the view Of Robert N Stan
field. Republican candidate for United
States Senator, who Is touring the state.
THE farmers are Of one opinion; they
are united on insisting that the Dem
ocratic administration with Its pro-
tectlonless tariff stand must CO." de-
clared Mr. Stantield in statement on
the tariff situation.
"I have talked with the wheat men,
the wool producers, the cattle and live
stock men, the fruit raiser, the poultry
producer, the dairymen, the walnut
growers--and I cannot too strongly i'm
pose upon the voters that our agricul-
tural and livestock producers must
have relief" said Mr. Stanfeld.
mo relief can be hoped for from the
Democratic administration. At this
minute the Democratic candidates are
ignoring the tariff issue because their
party stands for free trade policies,
"The farmers are lining up solidly be-
hind the Republican tariff program
both Republicans and Democrats.
They realize, too, that q Republican
Senate ana Republican House of Rep
resentatives are necessary to support
the Republican President in passing the
tariff legislation to prevent the dump
ing of Canadian wheat and the products

A CRITICS OPINION.

Now Harry I'll say as critic and
friend.
When you gave your political party
And rolled up your sleeves, great ends
10 achieve
Your efforts We're earnest and hearty.
But one thing Old Scout which there
isn't doubt
Just stopped the show right in the
middle
What everyone there was desiring to
hear
Was a gay little tune on the fiddle
Your opening address just thit the right
spot.
Your Campaign Song was a dinger,
Tho Harry, Old Dear, dreadfully fear
You were never cut out for singer.
But when you had laid out the program
alright
Our hopes went as high as a steeple
You took a straw vote, by which you
could note
The platform we held as a people
You called US apostles of John Barley
corn,
When taking the votes from the
boxes.
You found quite a number for Eugene
". Debs.
But most Of the rest were all Cox's
Now Harry you see that was scarcely
polite
Nor exactly the key to the riddle.
Tho we would have forgiven and called
it all right
If you had but tuned up the fiddle.
We wanted the star spangled Banner"
to wave.
For music has charms that bewitches.
We expected to hear lively old tune,
We wanted to hear Leather Brit
ches"
But Harry gets up and decants for an
hour
On poverty store bills, and patches
My Graciousl No wonder the crowd
bundled up
And left the theater In patches
So next time, oh Harry, you make up
your mind
To crack the political riddle,
You'll keep the crowd better and also
gain time
By playing a tune on the fiddle.

Marine Corps Recruiting
Shows. Substantial Gains

Washington. October 20--Recruiting
for the Marine Corps has made re-
markable gain since July. when S26 re-
crults were enlisted. A substantial in
crease was recorded for August, when
the total accepted applicants numbered
3 1895. and in September the total rose to
1855, more than doubling the figures for
July. EARLY returns for October show
n still greater increase. and 1t Is ex-
pected that the final sgures for the cur
rent month will far exceed the Septem-
ber total,
Enlistment figures In recent months
have been increased by large numbers
of former Marines who are returning
to the service. Many of the new re-
cruits are men who have only recently
reached the enlistment age, and recruit
ing officers report the younger recruits
are attracted by the educational oppor-
tunlties offered by the Marine Corps.
The Marine Corps has not launched
any special advertising campaign, and
the present unusual rise in enlistments
Is attributed to the fact that many of
the new recruits find conditions In the
service desirable and are inducing their
friends to Join.
