POLICE CHIEF FAILS TO FURNISH

preston News service).

Macon, Ga, Aug. 14.--U. s. Post
office Inspectors were busy here last
Monday investigating why Chief Of
Police Marshall Thompson failed to
furnish a policeman to accompany a
Negro mail collector in the business
district on Sunday night. The collec-
tor was halted by groups of men
three times and threatened by them,
it Is claimed. The collector reported
the matter to Postmaster Rudisill,
who asked for police protection for
the collector and failed to receive it.
AS a result the postmaster called off
the collection until next morning.
The chief of police claims that when
the request was made the entire force
was busy. 1t Is thought that charges
against the official will be made the
postal authorities.
1t is said that force of police
guarded the home of c. H. Douglass,
wealthy Negro. on Saturday and
Sunday nights, to prevent him from
being harmed. Postal authorities take
the position that If this was done, an
officer should have been furnished to
accompany the Negro mail collectors

COTTON FIELDS OF
VALLEY UNTOUCHED
by INSECT PESTS

In spite OF the fact that the cotton
plant attracts more destructive in
sect pests than any other plant. ac-
cording to Don c. Mote, state ento-
mologist, Salt River valley cotton has
been remarkably free from the most
destructive of these pests. and the
boil weevil, for example. has not ap-
peared in any of the cultivated cot
ton in the state. A rigid quarantine
exists to hold this most destructive
pest at arms length.
In fact, no insect pest has appeared
which directly affects cotton yields
here, says Mr.. Mote.
AT the outset, 1 would say that
the most destructive of cotton pests
have found no home in the Salt River
valley. The cotton plant is affected
by and attracts more insects than any
other plant. The cotton plant has
little glands, called nectar glands, sit
uated in various parts of the plant
These attract insects, which come for
the little sweetened nectar which ex-
udes from the glands. Most of these
insects are not injurious.
"The bee, for example, gets honey
from the cotton plant and honey that
is quite as good as the mesquite
honey and said to be better than that
derived from alfalfa. Then the in
sects feed on the plant. Ell parts are
attacked including the root, stalk and
branches, the leaves, blossoms. bolls
and seeds. There are about 20 spe-
cies of insects which feed on cotton
in the salt River valley as compared
with AZ varieties in the southern cot
ton growing states. OF these about s
belong to the lepidopte.a butterfly
months), as compared to IS in the
south.
Six are of the hemiptera species
(bugs) as compared with IL in the
south; four are of the order orthop-
terra (gra sshoppers) against an equal
number in the south: two are Of the
coleoptera (beetles) species as COM
pared with six in the south.

Of LONG STAPLE
COTTON BE GUN
IN ARIZONA, 1910

The development of long staple
cotton in Arizona was due largely to
the untiring efforts of a group Of
men in the United States depart.
ment of agriculture. In 1900 David
Fairchild, an explorer of the depart
ment of agriculture, imported some
Egyptian seed, from which some ex-
perimental plants of cotton were
grown in the southwest. This was
the beginning of a thorough study on
the ground Of Delta grown types OF
Egyptian cotton.
Thomas II. Kearny of the u. S.
department of agriculture, was the
first man to develop a constructive
plan for building up a new type of
American Egyptian cotton. 1t was
Kearny who brought his cotton seed
from the valley of the Nile and
planted it on the Sacaton Indian
agency, which was but few miles
from the famous Casa Grande pre-
historic ruins.
1t was Kearny who had the vision
to see that a great future was in
store for the arid country of the
southwest. and it was he who made
the first exhaustive analysis of the
soil of the Salt River Valley and
found it to be almost identical with
that of the Delta of the Nile, and
that under irrigation it would yield a
valuable new American crop.

IN anv OF the cultivated cotton In
Arizona. There is a state quarantine
against the importation Of cottonseed
seed cotton, lint not In mnufSctured
articles and used picker sacks from
the southern cotton growing states. In
addition there is a quarantine against
corn shucks and Spanish moss.
"Inter-county shipments of seed cot
TON and cotton seed are prohibited
unless authority is received from the
state entomologist. Thus shipments
from one district to another are con-
trolled as a protective measure.
"The state entomologist's office has
discovered that spraying with plack
leaf 40 serves to combat the grass
hoppers which are rather destructive
TO cotton crops. Poisoned bran mash
is also effective. The boil worm ana
other pests have been destructive IN
some fields. The boil worm Is an err
ratio pest which may occur In apun-
dance one year and greatly reduce
in numbers the year following Deep
plowing is recommended for COMBAT
ing this pest.
"As a general recommendation for
the control of insect pests the Win
ter destruction of the weeds and the
stumpage in cotton fields and irriga-
ton bitches is suggested. Insects
thrive during the summer months,
but may be carried over from year
to year.
Comparing the number OF insects
which appear in this state to those
which are found in the south. 1T is
found that those which do appear
here are not particularly injurious.
The boil weevil reaches yields by at
tacking the boil. Most of the insect
pests which have operated in Arizo-
ma work on the leaves and stem and
do not affect the yield directly.
"As to the dipping OF cotton seed
in bichloride of mercury as a pre-
ventive measure against the black
arm disease (similar to the blue ston-
ing Of wheat against rusD, would
say that we have not sufficient data
on this treatment as yet. Expert
ments were conducted last year but
the treatment of black arm or angu-
lar leaf spot is only In the expert
mental stage. 1t is not definitely
known that in Arizona the disease
may not be carried over in other ways
than simply through the seed. Some
trouble has been experienced with the
black arm disease in the storm swept
areas"

Government PLANT EXPERT
DECLARES PIMA COTTON HAS
PROVED BEST VARIETY HERE.
Other Cotton Districts Have Found 1t Mistake to
Switch Varieties Grown-Pima is Only Cot
ton of Which Valley Has Pure
Seed Supply for Future

Sacaton, where it would be OBJ
served and If we got better kind
of cotton the thing to do would be
to increase that cotton in this val
ley.
I'VE would plant It in a separate
section where it would not get mixed
with Pima or other cotton, and in
creased until there is enough seed
here to plant the whole valley to
this other kind of cotton.
Cotton growers in other sections
want to adopt your way Of raising
only one kind OF cotton in a given
district, and that the best that can
be raised in the district, and not
mixing it all up. They want to do
this and are trying to do 1t in va
rious parts of Texas and other parts
Of the cotton south.
Folly to Change Type Now
"The Yuma district, the Imperial
valley. the San Joaquin have all had
the sad experience or going from one
variety to a mixture of varieties and
II you want to know what happens
just ask your neighbors in those dis
tricts. They have had the experience
Of depreciating the value OF all their
cotton by mixing varieties.
This valley is the only district
that has enough pure seed OF any
variety to plant the entire district.
You cannot get enough seed to plant
this valley to any other type, seed OF
the approximate purity of your sup
ply OF Pima seed, for the reason that
1t does not exist. If you stock your
valley with some other kind Of cot
ton it will be scrub cotton, because
there is no volume OF pure seed of
any other variety to plant your val
ley.
IF you want 10 plant some other
variety eventually then you had bet
ter find the better variety for your
valley, then go ahead and develop
a seed supply, then replace the pres
ent variety all at once and still have
a single variety in the district"
At the conclusion of his talk some
time was devoted by DR.. Cook in an
swering questions from the greatly
interested audience. He described
in detail the method of seed selec-
tion and propagation through the CO.
operation OF the bureau OF plant in
dustry that has enabled the Pima
industry TO be built up in the man
ner that has called the attention OF
the entire cotton world to this Sec
tion and the unique and unusual
manner in which the industry is fos-
tered.
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

Giving many reasons why the Gull
tivation of Pima cotton should be
continued in the Salt River valley
and not be sidetracked for some still
unproven variety, DR.. o. f. Cook OF
the bureau of plant industry, depart
ment Of agriculture, recently made
a very Interesting talk before a large
meeting of the directors and MEM
bers OF the Arizona Pimacotton
Growers In their auditorium in the
rear of the office at 525 West Wash
ington street.
Some people come here from 9TH
er cotton districts" said DIR. Cook,
"and take it for granted that they
can successfully grow here under
Arizona conditions varieties that
they have successfully grown else
where.
This is not necessarily true; in
fact, 1t is not true at all. The cul-
tivation of Pima cotton has been
tried many times in many places in
the south and has not been success
full there, yet is the most success
full cotton we have found for this
climate.
Tested BY Government
people that want you to change
generally have some seed to sell, or
some other interest in the matter,
Just as certain people shipped car
loads of Pima seed and sold 1t in
various parts of the south, even
though it had failed in other parts
the years previous.
I'm considering the sorts of cot
ton to develop to be planted in this
Section the government agencies care
fully considered everything. the cH-
matte conditions. the premium the
cotton must bring over southern
types to make the industry pay, and
many other things, and the result
was the development of Pimacotton
from Egyptian parentage.
There may be some kind OF cot
ton you might want to raise in the
belief that it would be better for
this community. Whenever we (the
government plant breeders) have
heard of any kind of cotton as prom
Using here or in any other part of
the country, we have tried II at Sac
atom.
Find a Better Variety First
Anybody who IS curious about
cotton ought to go to Sacaton and
see the different kinds of cotton
over there, and II anybody has a
good kind of cotton that he thinks
should be raised here, we will be
glad to plant II and try it out at
