| districts of the Roosevelt project, and
at Bard, California, under the Yuma
reclamation project.
1t was found that the seed of the
| Mitafifi Egyptian variety was the
best suited to the southwestern con-
dition. But all did not go too smooth
ly for these arduous workers for at
times the results We're very un-
promising and the plants were rath-
er unfruitful and not uniform in
quality.
1t was not until 1908 that their
efforts succeeded and the first COM
mercially successful type of Ameri-
can Egyptian cotton was developed.
This was known as the Yuma vari-
ETY., with a staple averaging liz
inches in length which was consid-
erably longer than the parent Mita-
iii. This Yuma type of cotton has
been grown with success in the Salt
River Valley since 1912, but has
been gradually giving way to the
Pima type,
In 1910, realizing the great future
or this new type Of cotton, a COM
mittee known as the Committee on
southwestern Cotton Culture was
formed, and in that year at the SAGA
ton agency the now famous Pima
cotton was developed. This cotton
was lighter in color than the Yuma,
the fibre finer and sill1ier and the
length of the staple had been in
creased to Ia inches.
Pima Value Assured
The government gave some seed
to a few experienced growers at
Tempe, Arizona. This was during
1857. On 252 acres, 251 bales of
Pima cotton was produced and the
commercial value of the Pima type
was assured.
Because Of the growing CONNER
cial Importance of Pima cotton, eX-
haustiVe spinning tests have been
made, showing that the American
Egyptian cotton is a practical sub
sttute for the Sea Island and Egyp-
tan cotton. 1t has been successfully
used In the manufacture of fine cot
ton goods and knitted fabrics re-
quiring maximum wearing qualities.
1t has proved its value in the making
OF automobile tire fabrics. dress
goods, knitted fabrics and during the
war it was used in the manufacture
Of alrplane balloon and gas masks
cloth.
1t has been proven that American
Egyptian cotton is a very desirable
substitute for the Sea Island Egyp-
tian cotton for it's staple is a little
longer and in every other way pos
sesses equal characteristics.

The fine spinners of Europe and
America now recognize that in Pima
cotton they have the only cotton in
the world Of extra long staple or
uniform, even running quality that
can be bought in commercial guam
titles. The British government, In
cooperation with the great spin
ming associations near Manchester,
is spending 10000 pounds annually
in developing new fields OF cotton
production, and much of this money
is being spent in a determined ell
fort to produce type OF cotton prac-
tically identical with Pima.
Can Supply Needs
Now that this industry has been
established in the Southwest and II
has become evident that this type Of
cotton is naturally peculiarly adapt
ed to growth in the irrigated valleys
Of the Southwest and that in these
valleys sufficient Pima cotton can
be grown within the next few years
under a system of balanced agricul-
ture to supply all the needs for this
type OF cotton by the American mar
ufacturers, the government Is nat
urally taking an interest in the main
tenance Of the industry. In the
tariff bill now under consideration
tile secretary of agriculture has rec
onr.ended a minimum duty on long
staple cotton Of this type OF 10 cents
per pound and there seems every
indication that congress, recognize
ing the need of encouraging agricul-
ture and protecting the products OF
the farm as well as those of the fac
tory, will give to the Pima cotton
industry, in the tariff bill now un-
der consideration, reasonable tariff
protection.
1t is hoped by those OF us who
have been working for a tariff on
Pima cotton to protect this Industry
from the unfair competition OF the
peasant labor Of Egypt which IL now
working for an average wage OF about
80 cents per day, and from the dis
elimination in carrying charges
which now gives the cotton shipped
from Alexandria, Egypt, over Pima
cotton grown in the Southwest. an
advantage Of nearly $40 per bale.
There is no thought, through tariff
legislation, of creating an abnormal
price for Pima cotton, which will
become a burden to the consumer,
but it is hoped to stabilize Pima cot
ton at a price of from 40 to As cents
per pound.
Advantages Of Pima
Under the most exacting laboratory
tests, conducted by the United States
Bureau of Etandards. the United
States Bureau Of Markets. the Air
Service of the United States War
Department, and various commercial
interests, this Pima cotton has been
shown to have the following specific
advantages:
First. the longest fibre of any cot
ton now grown in commercial guam
titles in the world.
Second, to have strength SO per
cent as great as that Of the best
cotton that has been grown in Egypt.
Third, an elasticity. point of great
advantage in making certain fine
fabrics, and unexcelled by any cot
ton.
Fourth, an uniformity in length of
fibre far superior to average long
staple cottons.

There are three creameries and a

at New Bedford, Massachusetts,, COM
parative spinning tests were made
by the department of agriculture of
American Egyptian cotton with Sea
Island and Egyptian cottous. These
three cottons were practically the
same and were tested under the same
mechanical condition. A series of
yarn numbers were made, ranging
from 10 10 zoos and the results in
dicated that the tensile strength and
other manufacturing properties were
the same. Other tests We're made of
dyeing and mercerization and these
properties were also practically
equal.
Government Makes Tests
During the fall of 1917 and spring
Of 1918, the department of agricul-
ture made comparative tests of the
three varieties previously tested.
These tests were made at the Nash
mena mills, New Bedford, Massa-
chusetts, primarily to develop a sat-
isfactory cotton airplan fabric. All
of these lots were treated practically
under the same conditions in max
ing these tests. Two standard fab
rics, weighing about four ounces per
square yard were made-one from
2-60's yarn containing eighty thread
per inch in both warp and filling, and
one from 3-80-inch yarn containing
IS thread to the inch in both warp
and filling. All OF the fabrics made
came within the required specifica-
tions issued by the bureau of aircraft
production board, which required a
fabric to have a maximum strength
and a maximum stretch in both warp
and filling.
The results of these tests show
that the strongest fabrics were OBJ
tanned from the Egyptian cotton and
that the fabrics made from the
American Egyptian and Sea Island
cottons were practically equal to
each other both in strength and
stretch.

tests of the fine spinners have shown
that Pima cotton Is now being man
ufactured successfully into very fine
fabrics, such as ladies' dress goods,
including dimities, organdies, voiles
and other fine fabrics using yarns
of as fine a count as $50.
Demand Increases
AS a significant Illustration Of the
satisfaction of the manufacturers
in the use Of Pima cotton. individual
mills which last year were using
five bales for experimental pur-
poses are this year using from 1900
to 1000 bales, and indicate, owing
to the satisfactory results obtained
their ability to use this cotton in
steadily increasing volume If it
can be bought in uniform, even-run-
ming quality of fairly large lots.
Not only are the American spin
ners of fine yarns now keenly inter-
ested in Pima cotton, as is evidenced
by the fact that Of the 10000 bales
shipped this season thus far, about
80 per cent has been shipped to the
spinners of fine yarns rather than to
spinners Of tire yarns, but European
spinners are thoroughly interested.
Within the past sixty days repre-
sentatives of a number of the large
spinning interests Of Europe have
visited this valley, have been very
favorably impressed with our meth
DDS of handling, with the growth of
this cotton, and are particularly
pleased with their ability to buy
even running, large lots on definite
sample through the cooperative
marketing organization of the grow
ers.
More Interest In Pima
Just at this time the Arizona Pima
cotton Growers, which is steadily in
creasing its service to the growers
in cooperative marketing, has un-
| der consideration a favorable prop
osition from one of the big English
spinners. Another representative Of
English spinning interests who re-

that now that the Sea Island cotton
| had practically been exterminated
through the inroads Of the boil Vice.
vii, his concern, with the re-estab-
lishment of normal rates of exchange,
will be in a position to use Pima cot
ton ct the rate of about 4,500 bales
annually.
