DISCOVERING THEIR MISTAKE.
Dispensing with Servisec Of County
Agents Poor Sort Of Economy.
Progressive Farmer0

\AAoSASooifS II I'll hoI.j
Some counties where the officials
felt that 1t was necessary, in the face
OF the grave business conditions, to
economize by dispensing with the
county agents, are now discovering
that this was a Serious mistake.
Face to face with tho necessity Of
diversifying without the exact
knowledge of what crops to plant or
how to go about planting them, with
the absolute necessity of cutting the
cost OF production from one-half TO
two-thirds below that OF last year,
and not knowing just how to reduce
this cost without reducing the yield;
with the Importance of selling every
farm product at the highest possi-
Bile price without a definitely organ
lied cooperative selling association;
with the desire to increase the live
stock on the farm without q thor
ough knowledge Of breeding, care
and feeding, and Of disease control;
with the will to plant home orch
ards without the knowledge Of
spraying and pruning; with mort
cages and notes falling due on land
and equipment, without knowing
how to get extensions of credit,
there has never been a time when q
county agent has been so vitality
necessary to farmers OF any county
| In the South as during this year of
uncertainty.
Much as they may desire to do so,
county authorities cannot economize
by cutting off their county agents,
for this is not economy. They may
save some few thousands Of dollars
that go to pay the salaries, but they
rob the county Of from ten thousand
to several hundred thousand dollars
of income which the county agent
will bring into the county by his
work. No good county agent should
be regarded as an expense, but as q
productive agency that brings in
wealth to the county many times
over his salary every year. 1t is all
right to economize, but care should
be taken not to economize by cutting
off the source Of supplies.

the crop of 1919 which reached the
channels Of commerce, at 1,100,0 900
bales.
World consumption Of American
cotton is runnipt: 25 per cent below
what it did last .rear, but the esti-
mated production government fig
ures) Is 100000 bales greater.
There Is now enough cotton in the
world, unspun, to last nearly two
years.
During the years 1862 and 1868
total production in the United States
averaged less than $4,000 bales Of
cotton annually. The world managed
to get along.
The first cotton seed were planted
In Virginia at jamestown in 1907.
Cotton was introduced into all the
Southern Colonies by the first set
tiers.
The Spanish invader in 1919
found cotton clothing in common
use in Mexico, and Cortez received
gifts Of fine cotton fabrics from the
hand Of the great Montezuma.
Statements to the effect that
Egyptian mummies were wrapped in
cotton fabrics have been disproved.
In the first chapter Of Esther def
mite reference Is made to the use
OF cotton hanging" at the feast
which King Ahasuerus gave, about
519 B. G.
World carry-over Of American cot
ton, at July 81, 1920, United States
census figures on the domestic sup
ply, and Chronicle figures on stocks
held abroad, was 6,149,089 bales.

dents Intentions, Mr.. Wilson kept
his own counsel concerning his plans
up to the last moment, and the men
who have been most closely asso-
ciated with him publicly and pri-
vately during the last eight years
said they knew nothing Of the Pres
ident's plans until this morning.
Much business for international
law firms during the next fifty years
undoubtedly will arise out of the
World War and it's aftermath. Rob-
ert Lansing, the former Secretary Of
State, is at present practicing in the
field with one of his subordinates;
Frank l.. Polk, former under Secre-
tary Of State, is also at practice, and
former Secretary McAdoo also Is
practicing law, although not wholly
IN the International field.
The wide extent Of Mr.. Wilson'S
knowledge of inside intern;dtidnal
affairs during the last eight years
can only be left to the, imagination.
lie has q personal store OF data on
the peace conference and its pro-
cGedings which IS possessed by cer-
tainly no one else In the United
States. and 1t probaly is not exceed
ed in volume and importance by any
European public man.
Mr.. Colby has never engaged in
any other profession than that Of the
law. He began practice in New York
in 1892 and has represented many
important clients. His first appear
ance in national politics was in 1908
when he was identified with tho
movement to nominate Col. Roose-
velt for the Presidency in the cele-
brated contest with President Taft.
Mr.. Colby later became identified
with the Progressive Party, but in
1916 he campaigned for President
Wilson's reelection, and later was
appointed to the Shipping board. He
became Secretary Of State when Mr..
Wilson dismissed Secretary Lansing
last year.
Rear Admiral Grayson, who is Mr..
Wilson's personal physician. said to-
day that the retiring President will
find 1t possible to practice law with
out subjecting himself to a strain
reacting on his physical condition.
Admiral Grayson said that he knew
OF no reason why Mr.. Wilson would
not be able to appear before the Su-
preme Court occasionally.

WILSON AND COLBY no FORM
Law Partnership-Win Have Offices
in Now York and Washington.

Washington, March 3.-President
Wilson formally announced to-day
that he would resume the practice
of law" in a partnership with Balm
bridge Colby, the retiring Secretary
Of State. The firm will maintain Of
fees in New York and Washington.
The announcement was made at
the White House in the following
statement:
president Wilson made the an
nouncement to-day that, at the con-
clusion of HIS term of office he will
resume the practice Of law, forming
partnership with the Secretary of
State, 'Bainbridge Colby. The firm
will have Offices in New York and
Washington" ,-
TlM,s presidents anuonucement,
Wholly unexpected, will recall to the
pubic miud one OF the least known
Of his attainments-that OF being a
lawyer. He was graduated in law
from the University Of Virginia in
1881, and practiced in Atlanta in
1882 and 1888 In the latter year
he went to Baltimore to take up
postgraduate work at Johns-Hop-
kins University, and practiced some
in the local courts Of that city. Mr..
Wilson did not remain long at the
practice of law, however, for in 1885
he began his career as a college pro-
fessor, taking up the chair Of his
tory and political economy at Bryn-
Mawr. From that time onward until
he left the field OF collegiate work
and became Governor OF New Jer-
sey, Mr.. Wilson did not figure in the
practice Of law.
No announcement was made OF the
character OF the practice the new
firm will take up, but the presump-
ton Is that it will engage principally
in international law and collateral
work. The announcement that Of
fees would be maintained in New
York and Washington was generally
taken to mean that Mr.. Colby prob
ably would take charge of affairs
at New York, and that Mr.. Wilson,
who will maintain his home here,
would look after affairs Of the new
firm in Washington.
How actively the retiring Presi-
dent might take part in the firms
practice within the limitations of his
present physical condition, is open
to wide speculation. When he said
goodbye to his cabinet members In
the early part Of the week, he was
obliged to use his cane to get about
from the White House to the execu-
tive Offices, and whom the newspaper
men attached to the White House
asked for farewell audience, the
President declined on the ground
that his voice was too weak.
The Presidents friends apparent
ly were as much in the dark as to
his plans as was the public up to the
moment Of the announcement, but
they generally supposed that Mr..
Wilson'S connection with tho now
firm would be very lagrely that OF n
counsellor. Whether Mr.. Wilson in
tended to appear in court was not
made clear, although it was stated
at the White House that he would
apply for admission to practice be-
fore the Supreme Court Of the Uni
ted States.
Probably no announcement OF any
nature has surprised Washington
moro during recent months than did
this one as to tho retiring Presi-

FRUIT POSSIBILITIES OF
 LYMAN DAM PROJECT

Considerable interest centers around the Lyman dam project and it's az ricultural possibilities.
 During the summer, F. J. Glider horticulturist of the experiment sta ton of the university, visited this pro- ject and made some study of the con ditions with respect to it's adaptability to fruit growing. MT. Crider express ed his firm belief in the adaptability of portion of this project, particu- larly the high rolling mesa, to com mercial apple and pear culture and the production of small fruits. He em- phasized the fact that the topography of this portion of the project is such as to give almost perfect air drainage eliminating serious damage from late spring frosts. These facts coupled with the good soil conditions of the tract should combine to make this promising district for the grow ing of these fruits.

NEWS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
ARIZONA NOT TO HAVE NEW
 FEDERAL JUDGE, IS DECISION

The prospect for a new federal judge in the Arizona district appears to have been lost. There is no doubt that judge Sawtelle is overworked, but it is said that most of his cases are of police court sort, mainly connected with the Mann act and with small vio- lations of the prohibition act.
 Lawyers agree that these could be handled by court commissioners if congress would authorize such disposi- tion. sSuch action would serve to ex- pedite the trials and clear the county jails of petty malefactors who now are held for months till court can sit.
 Under a new dispensation, just an- nounced at Washington, there is to be appointment by the president of Is judges, practically all at large, to be sent wherever needed to keep the dockets clear.
 Under this provision there need be no Arizona appointment at all, de- cision that would dash the hopes of a considerable number of Arizona juf ists who have been hoping for recog- milton and for appointment to life post at large compensation.
 Among those considered have been Judge Albert Sames of Douglas, Fred Sutter of Bisbee, John Wright of Tue son, George Christy, Richard E. Sloan and E.. s. Clark of Phoenix, Otis J. Baughn of Florence and Robert K. Morrison of Prescott, though this list is far from complete.

RAILROAD PASSES WILL
 BE GRANTED GUARD

The adjutant general and instructor of the Arizona National Guard here. after will ride free on railroads in the state, according to word received by the state corporation commission from representatives of the railroads.
 The granting of passes to the two officials of the guard is an outgrowth of the request of the National Guard last summer for reduced fare for the guardsmen going to and from the an nual encampment. The corporation commissioners, state attorney general and representatives of the railroads held conference on this subject in Los Angeles last summer.
 The announcement said that the railroads would charge full fare for the guardsmen when attending the en- campments but that the state would benefit as much from the passes granted the two officials as it would if lower fares were charged for the g1ardsmen. The railroads declared that this simplified matters for them.
