There Is No Market
For Hybrid Cotton

The following paper was written
by . man intimately familiar with
the cotton industry here and else
where:
A great deal Of talk has been going
around the valley recently as 70
whether or not cotton should again
be planted this year and, if So what
kind is best for the farmers and the
valley in general.
Some investigation along these
lines for the benefit Of farmer friends
and, first of importance shows the
carefulness with which the farmers
should make up their minds on such
q serious proposition. as there are so
many angles to this very important
matter.
Some favor no cotton. some favor
short staple cotton. some favor ali
Pima. while others believe In plant
ing both short and long staple. Right
here we wish to state that If cotton
is planted this coming year In the
manner that 1t was during the sea-
son of 1920-21 Che year we had the
large acreage) we would Immediately
say the farmers are acting very un-
wisely. We say this for the reason
that the 1920-21 crop was planted
and raised in a totally unfarmerlike
manner, with only one chance in a
million OF making any profit what
ever.
In the spring of 1920 a small am
cunt of Pima cotton left In the valley
was marketed at an unheard Of price,
some being sold as high as $1.25 per
pound, with the result that $780, 0006
to 10000 acres were planted that
spring, which we will call the 192021
crops. Due to the high price of the
few hundred bales during the spring
1920. farmers figured they were going
Arizona republican., 1922-01-29

to get the equal, If not higher price,
for the coming crop, which resulted
in cotton being planted in front yards
and back yards OF residences, and
on anv land available, whether ever
used previously or not; in fact,
ground was ground, and ground would
grow cotton, hence cotton was planted
on all ground available.
Cotton growers are men, and all
men thought they could be cotton
growers, which resulted In an abb
normal acreage being planted, much
of which was on land totally unfit
for same, and by men totally unfit
to be even considering the growing
of cotton.
The regular cotton growers saw SO
much wealth in sight they bought
automobiles and other luxuries, hired
men to tend to work they should
have been doing themselves. and led
a life of ease; in other words, they
'1et George do the work" with the
result that proper attention was not
given the cotton Due to this, and
the cotton being grown on all classes
of land, very poor yields were OBJ
tanned. Where the proper land was
planted in cotton, and the cotton
attended TO by the farmers them
selves, very good yields were OBJ
tained, some as high as three-fourths
Of a bale per acre. but where poor
land, or land not suitable to cotton
was planted in cotton, and the far
mer "let George do the work" as
little as one bale per ten acres was
not uncommon.
In all about $4,000 bales were pro-
duced. but for the above mentioned
reasons the cost per pound for the
raising of this cotton was higher than
ever before recorded. some running

weeds on the Watonwan river while
INDUCING in a soothing draw at

the word before the grandstand to-
morrow morning that will make
them one for ever afterwards. From
the longing looks OF the girls to-

and complaints XbfeIl 6E<6 been
lodged against the collection sys
tenn are not wholly the fault OF
Laird and his assistants. according
to Chief OF Police Phil Landmark,
who has Investigated the situation.
There are a great number of streets
and alleys In the city which are
blocked off and in many instances
it is necessary for the collector to
drive not less than nine blocks out
Of his way in order to serve q
single block of residences.
Chief Landmark says that the
situation could be greatly relieved
If the citizens of these blocks would
carry their garbage cans to the
nearest open street and leave them
where they can be picked up by the
collectors. Another complaint made
by Laird is that there are less than
half of the residences In Mankato
where there are the proper garbage
containers and he further states
that 1t is the usual thing for him
to pick up container only to fird
that it has no bottom or that the
handles fall of.
At this time, with corn being
eaten on many tables and melons
at the top of the season, garbage
collection is at its heaviest period
of the year and little cooperation
on the part of the people In these
inaccessible districts will aid ma
terially in relieving the present
