COT IN GROWING GIVEN IN DE TAILED FORM

A detailed report on the cost of cot ton production was Issued yesterday by H. c. Heard, county agricultural agent, and chairman of the cost of production committee of the Maricopa county farm bureau, and submitted to Frank Parker, president of the organ ization. The total cost, as shown in the report. is II 9-10 cents per pound of lint. Based on this production cost is the statement made at a meeting last Saturday as the consesus of opinion Of all present that the minimum price of lint cotton this season should be 90 cents pound.
 MT. Frank H. Parker, Chairman, Maricopa County Farm Bureau, Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 The following is the report of the special committee to investigate the costs of growing cotton, appointed early last week. We have in all cases based our report on actual costs rather and ginning charges, which are based on the estimate of one-h half bale (900 pounds of seed cotton including 3 per cent trash in seed) per acre, while the present price of $20 per ton for seed was allowed to partially offset the cost of ginning. A picking price of four cents per pound was assumed, that be-
  picking is always higher. We have not figured interest on the investment when the farm is owned by the grower, but have substituted an item of rent, which is based on the actual cash rent paid by those growers whose figures we had at hand. It is thought that this item fairly represents the costs of in terest on the farm. depreciation of buildings and fences, depletion of fer tility, which necessitateS cotton farmers rotation with less profitable crops in the course of a few years, taxes and other miscellaneous items properly classed in this group On the two items at the end of the report. namely superintendance and interest on growing fund we were instructed by the general meeting to allow a charge of $750 per acre for the former and to allow interest on the growing fund for a period of nine months at the rate of per cent per annum. While much of this fund will only be used two or three months, much of it will be used as long, sometimes as a year and a half
