MORE AMERICAN
EGYPTIAN COTTON

SO great has been the success of
growingers of Egyptian cotton in the
Southwest, particularly in Arizona,
that the acreage to be planted this
year probably will greatly exceed
that of 1919, which was approximate
ly 10000. Some predictions are that
the total planting will be as much as
100000 acres. The foothold which
Egyptian cotton has gained in this
country as indicated by these figures
is the direct result of many years Of
experimental and extension work car
ried on b ehtUnited States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The Egyptian cottor now being
grown so extensively is a long staple
variety which has come to be distinct
from any long staple cotton grown in
Egypt by reason of scientific plant
breeding conducted by Federal spe-
cialists. With the exception of Sea
Island, now practically destroyed by
the boil weevil, and the Meade, not
yet established on large scale, there
is nothing in this country to comprae
with this American Egyptian cotton
Because of its superior quality and
especial fitness for making thread, au-
tomobile tire fabric, and other prod
ucts, a strong demand Off it hos de-
veloped.
All of the Egyptian cotton seed now
planted in the Salt River Valley in
Arizona and in the Imperial Valley is
of the Prima variety, developed by
the Federal specialists. Special at
tention is called to thrs fact because
commercial interests which have un-
dertaken to promote the growing of
this cotton on a large scale in Arizona
and California have given their pro-

TESTING ROADS FOR
HEAVY TRAVEL.

State highway departments are Wit
ally interested in the successful out
come of comprehensive experiment
and tests now being made by the Bu-
reau of Public Roads of the United
States Department of Agriculture
One State engineer recently declared
that millions Of doll sc in his State
are involved in the proper design Of
which makes up ,
of the problems being Investigated by
the Federal engineers.
The coming into general use of the
heavy motor truck las practically re-
volutionized the science of road build
ing. Big new problems came when
loads weighing 10 to Is tons took the
place Of vehicles that placed weight
one-fourth as much or less. The
roads buitl ten years ago were con-
structed before this fact could be
rcalizcd-which is one of the reasons
why many permanent" roads have
proved to be impermanent.
One Oh tne teSClnS eHpeIllheIits pe-
ing made by the Federal bureau in
wolves the use of a 49-section road
way in the Arlington farm, owned by
the Department of Agriculture. Each
section was built from different type
of material, or with a different method
of construction. The same use is CIV
en- to each section, so that eventually
the type of construction will be suited
to heavy traffic will prove itself.
