More American Egyptian Cotton

So great has been the success of
growers 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 approximately
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 by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.
The Egyptian cotton now being
grown so extensively is long staple
variety which has come to be dis
tinct from any long staple cotton
grown in Egypt by reason of scientific
plant breeding conducted by Federal
SPECIALISTS. With the exception Of Sea
Island, now practically destroyed by
the boil weevil, and the Meade, not
yet established on a large scale, there
is nothing in this country to compare
with this American Egyptian cotton.
Because of its superior quality and es-
pecial fitness for making thread, auto
mobile tire fabric, and other products,
strong demand for it has developed.
All of the egyptian cotton seed now
planted in the Salt River Valley in
Arizona and in the Imperial Valley Is
of the Pima variety, developed by the
Federal specialists. Special attention
is called to this fact because COM
merical interests which have under
taken to promote the growing Of this
cotton on large scale in Arizona and
California have given their product 9
distinctive name, though grown from
seed of the variety developed by the
Department of Agriculture.
The death of Mrs. Baron D. Miller
in Montgomery county was the third

and daughter having just been buried
