the Florence and Casa Grande dis- tricts. The only limit to the acreage that might be placed in cultivation in this district is the fact that we have no stored water such as the Salt River valley has in the Roosevelt reservoir. Therefore, the only way in which cot ton can be grown in this ~ivalley at present Is with pumping as an auxil- iary water supply. The building o1 the great San Carlos dam and reser- voir which will make possible the continuous irrigation of 150,000 acres or more in this valley, will enable PinaI county to duplicate, perhaps on an even larger scale, the great success of the cotton growers of the Salt River valley.
 Representatives of the United States government are in this valley now. in the persons of MT. Pine, representing the department of justice, and John R. T.aReeves, superintendent of irrigation of the Indian bureau, who are engaged in clearing up few little odds and ends preparatory to the government beginning construction on the Florence diversion dam project. This project up the river from Florence and a canal system leading from there down through the valley to water the lands of the white settlers in the Florence and Casa Grande districts, as well as the lands of the Indians on the Gila river reservation. The project will em- brace 62, 900 acres of which the whites will get 27,000 acres and the Indians 35,000 acres.

Nearly four percent of the worlds cotton production for 1920 will be used tIi sne manufacture of pneumatic auto Hlople ures-a total consumption of approximately 100000 bales
 The 1920 production of tires in the o oihted states should approximate 40,- VVo'VOO to equip nearly 100000 new cars ana to maintain about 1000, 900 now in operation
 cotton promises to remain indefinitely as indispensable fin tire making as rubber.
 lnese startling figures are given by fiiott H. Barnwell. manager of the . cotton and fabric division of the Good Sear-Ilre and Rubber company. He estimates that the only bar to further expansion of the pneumatic tire indus Fy might possibly be the limit to Idorlcation capacity of yarn and cot ton mills

 The national convention will take steps to form a woman's auxiliary to the American Cotton association.
 A newspaper or periodical to be known as the official organ of the American Cotton association will re- ceive special attention.
 The matter of direct sales of cotton to Europe will receive marked atten- tion. Representatives from European countries are expected to attend this convention for the purpose of arrang ing direct sales of cotton.
 Each state president, each governor, commissioners of agriculture, ware house commissioners and presidents of farmers unions, presidents of bank ers' associations and other officials of every cotton producing state have been requested to name delegates to this convention. Montgomery is making every preparation to make this one of the most successful conventions ever held in the south.
 Special addresses will be made by leading speakers of national reputa- ton and a general discussion of the various subjects will be open to all members.
 Special committees, the national board of directors, executive commit tee and national organization com mittee are urged to reach Montgomery on March s, as they will have d tre- mendous volume of preliminary work to transact.

Numerous other authorities might be cited.
 The compress is an absolute neces- sity in order to create a concentration point for the storage and sale of cot ton. The association has already se- cured rates from the railroads that will allow cotton from all sections of tlfe southwest to be sent in here for compression and reshipment, or com pression, storage and sale, without ex- tra freight charges. and all that re- mains to be done to take advantage of this and make this the chief cotton center of this section is to build the warehouse and compress.
 To do this will make keen competi- ton in buying, with consequent higher prices, more nearly approaching the actual value of our cotton as compared to other long staple. It will bring more business. put more money in circula- tion. make credits easier, make cotton a liquid asset, and in every way re- bound to the advantage of the cotton growers and the community.

NEED OF WAREHOUSE AND COMPRESS FOR VALLEY IS FELT BY COTTON GROWERS

The erection of fireproof ware house. is necessary for two reasons. the first that the cotton stored there under bond is the finest security for loans up to G5 to 80 per cent, the latter figure being recommended to the banks by Governor w. P. G. Harding of the federal reserve bainking system The second is that it is the only prac- tical method of concentrating large quantities of even grade to offer on the market.- and such offerings always command a premium far above the bale at-a time market. In addition to these considerations, storage in a warehouse of this type makes a large saving in insurance and storage charges. and saves the cotton from weather damage resulting from out door storage.
 Modern Compress
 The erection of modern type com press in connection with the ware house is absolutely necessary for d number of reasons
 To begin with, compression of the cotton increases the storage capacity of the warehouse to d great extent It reduces the freight rete whether shipped by rail or water It reduces the fire hazard and the insurance rate
 All cotton is compressed in transit at the first compress point en route

By Judge o. J. Baushn

It is not generally known that the famous Pima cotton was developed and first brought to perfectionfn Pinal county, Arizona. Experiments were carried on by the department of agri- culture of the United States govern ment on the Gila River Indian reserva- ton at Sacaton, a few miles down the river from Florence and due north of Casa Grande. After the department had developed this cotton to perfec- tion at Sacaton. it spread into the Salt River valley and very rapidly became the chief product of Maricopa county.
 The growing of Pima cotton in Pinal county in the great valley which will come under the San Carlos storage dam is going forward by leaps and bounds. During the season just closed approximately 2,500 acres around Flor ence and Casa Grande were planted to cotton. The yield averaged about one half a bale to the acre. The manager of the Salt River Valley Cotton com pany's gin at Florence, states that the grade of cotton they have ginned since they began operations last November has averaged very high. As an exam pie, he stated that one grower, out of eight bales ginned, got six firsts and two seconds. He also stated that the percentage of lint to the load was higher on the average than cotton grown in other placest running nearly 30 per cent. The length of staple Of cotton grown in this valley runs from an inch and five eighth to an inch and eleven -SixteenthS.
 The coming season will witness not less than 5000 acres in Pima cotton in

Some city in the southwest is going to be the concentration point for the cotton in this region It will be the point where the baled cotton is gath cred and stored in large quantities. where the buyers will congregate, and where, in consequence, the highest prices will be secured
 The place that will become the cot ton market of the southwest is that place which first establishes a ware house and a modern type of compress
 This is so self-evident to the student of the cotton market situation that it seems to need no explanation, but for the benefit of thise not in touch with conditions it may be better to go into some detail.
 Seek Market Here
 There Is no question in the minds of Arizona cotton raisers. no matter where they live, that Phoenix should be the Cotton Capital" as well as the capital of the state, but in order to &C., complish this the warehouse and com press must be built here, and built soon. This is one of the big things that the Arizona America n Egyptian Cotton Growers association is working to accomplish

larger companies will make more than half the years output-the remainder will be divided among more than 230 smaller concerns. In 1919 Goodyear manufactured nearly 1000, ,000 tires and In 1920 will probably manufacture nearly p per cent of the country's output.
 To keep pace with demand. the com pany is expanding operations in its textile plants. The mills at Goodyear. Conn.,, will be enlarged to house 30.0 new spindles, 1T6 new houses for em- ployes will be started within 30 days and new tire fabric mill on the Pa cific coast will be operating 33 900 spindles by May. The present mill at Goodyear operates 22.000 spindles. At Los Angeles. Calif.. the companys new tire factory to employ 5000 people will be in operation by the middle of sum- mer.
 In Arizona the company has already taken three crops from its 5000 acres of cultivatel land, made possible by ir- rigation of the desert Looking to the future, the company has just complet- ed arrangements to sell cotton seed to the farmers of the Imperial valley of California and will take .the entire crop, which will be ginned in new gins to be erected by the company at sev- eral advantageous points in that sec tion of California.

to its ultimate destination unless specific orders to the contrary are given by the shipper and a. higher freight rate paid. More than 50 per cent of the cotton raised in the Salt River valley in the past two years has been compressed in transit, according to the data furnished by the trans portation companies.
 The statement has been made that compression of cotton injures the fibre. It may be possible that the fine type of cotton produced in Arizona might be injured to small extent by the old fashioned steamhammer type com press that strikes a hammer blow. But there is every evidence that the mod ern hydraulic, slow pressure type com press, in no way injures the fibre.~ .
 One In Los Angeles
 The harbor department of the city of Los Angeles has installed a com press of this type in connection with their big export warehouse. In the Los Angeles Herald of January Y ap- peared an article by A. W. Sowers, stating that cotton shipments from Los Angeles harbor will increase enor- mously during this year.
 Practical cotton mill men state that this type compress does not in any way injure the fibre. In letter re- ceived by the association, written by <a. Manufacturing company of Pell City. Alabama, cotton spinners. Mir. Ledyard tells in detail of his observations of cotton compressed in this modern manner.
 While in Mobile says MT. Ledyard. "f bought a lot of cotton and had 1t in Q standard compress. On arrival of this cotton at Pell City it was carefully tested to note the diff ferences, if any, in the working and of cotton compressed by this system and by the usual method.
 "The bales of cotton-are uniform in size and very attractive from a stor- age standpoint-and would increase the storage capacity of a warehouse 50 per cent
 He goes on to state that the bales by this system expanded 70 per cent as compared with an ex- of 20 per cent by the old style 
 "On examining carefully the staple of the cotton compressed by the stand ard press" continues the letter, "I found it in perfect condition. showing no compress damage. Tn my opinion it is not possible for this press to in- jure the fibre in any way
 T. I. Hickman, president of the Manufacturing company. cotton spinners of Atlanta, states that the fibre is not injured in any way"

The use of verbs manufactured out of nouns is satirized in the story of the city boy who wrote to his brother on the farm: Thursday we autoed out to the Country club. where we golfed until dark. Then we trolleyed back to town and danced till dawn. Then we motored to the beach and Fridayed there" The brother on the farm wrote back: Yesterday we buggied to town and baseballed all afternoon. Then we went to Ned's and pokered till morning. Today we muled out to the corn field and gee-hawed till sundown. Then we suppered and then we piped for a while.
