MOON FARMING

Farming dates back to a time long before tbare were calendars. Priests and monks were the few people who possessed much education They devoted a great deal of their time study of astronomy ana possessed a fair knowledge of the subject
 Farmers came to these men advice in their soh operations When they wanted to plant corn or wheat whatever the crop might he fla or1,r 5e mite guides the monks could give them were to plant during the varying stages. The moon was inc farmers calendar. rvs

ASHIN G T N, Feb. 17.-Your spring suit of a year or two hence, in stead of being a light woolen. may be made of the finest long staple cotton in the world, with a dull silky finish and wearing qualities little short of wonderful.
 At least, that is what certain grow CTS of the said long staple cotton out in the vicinity of Phoenix, Ariz., earn estly hope that you will wear, and they intend to do everything in their power to realize that hope.
 This movement to dress us in cot ton suits is the latest act in one of the most spectacular farming dramas which ever happened in America. Gen orally speaking, farming has not been dramatic and spectacular in America recently. The sudden and striking have happened in business rather than on the farm. But the rise, and the temporary fall Of Pima long staple cotton is a drama if there ever was one.
 That drama began a few years ago when 1t was discovered that on rich irrigated lands of the Salt River valley long staple Egyptian cotton would grow just IS well as it would in Egypt. The importance of that fact was not

A COTTON DRAMA

at first grasped by all of the Salt river farmers, but gradually a good deal of the land was put into cotton Then came the demand from the mak- CTS of auto tires for all of that long staple cotton they could get. The price of cotton began to rise, and alfalfa crops of long standing were plowed under to make room for more cotton.
 War stepped in to thicl1en the plot Long staple cotton rose to the un- heard-o of price of 35 a pound and land in the Salt River valley sold for as much as $500 an acre. Poor farm CTS suddenly became rich men. For tunes were made by men who sold at the right time.
 Then came the let down. Armistice ver-production, dull market. Today there are 60,000 bales of that fine long staple cotton in and around Phoenix, and 1t would be hard to sell any con+ siderable quantity of it for 40 cents Ia pound. The markets that made the fortunes are fed up. And worse yet, Egyptian cotton is pouring in in a heavy and a well nigh ruinous cOmpe- tition.

pEsPrcAeLE ANONYMITY

Several advertisers of Phoenix have been receiV- ing through the mails advice on the sub feet of advertising.
 We have suspicion as to the identity of this writer. We only suspect that he Is not friend ot The Republican and less friend of the Gazette; or para phrasng Shakespeare in Antony's oration over the body of csesar-that he loves not The Republican more, but the Gazette less
 It can easily be that if the logic of the anon ynous writer accepted The Republican would be the beneficiary. the average citizen despises the anonymous writer have often expressed disapprova of him. And, therefore we believe that these letters however despicabIe and damaging their intent, will result in good than harm to the object of their attack.

There is though only of its activities in the business of regulation which have heard complained of and that is its uniform practice of granting applications the public uti ties companies for increases of rates.
 The people have not understood why these in creases have been so generally allowed. The people frequently do understand things easily, and the people often wrong and need be set right and have things explained to them that they may understand.

high prices offered for cotton, many inexperienced men planted the crop on land that was not adapted nor ready for it. We now have their troubles also which could have been fereseen. Cotton growing, like all other husiness- es should be done by those who have learned it in a practical way.
 With the adjustment of world in dustry our cotton should be worth, at the lowest figure, 50 cents pound. Practical men, in thorough touch with local conditions, and expecting de- clining labor cost in production and harvesting, are convinced that the Pima cotton in the Salt river valley can be grown at 50 cents per pound with a fair profit.
 Farming is no longer a game of chance on these irrigated lands It is a manufacturing proposition. We turn sunshine, water and soil into food and clothing, with the quantity depending almost entirely on efficiency and ca paoity."
