Close Spacing of Cot
ton Increases Yield

Five summers of eXperim entail work
at the Cotton-Breeding Field Sta
ton at Greenville, Tex, by the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture have shown that closer spacing
of cotton plants in the row tends to
increase yield and reduce weevil dam
age.
Close spacing reduces the size Of
the plant and allows great number
of stalks to be left in the row with
out injurious crowding. The fruit
ing branches on closely spaced plants
are short ,and the crop is produced
on the first few modes of the branch
es. Since the cotton plant fruits
more rapidly vertically along the axis
of the plant than horizontally along
the fruiting branches, the setting
of early bolls is promoted by leaving
the plants close together
These experim ents showd defini-
tie tendency toward greater yields
from plants spaced less than IL inch
es apart in the row, and the highest
Yields were obtained from rows that
were not tninned or chopped but left
in the original stands with the plants
averaging to 4 inches apart.
Chopped rows compared with IN
thinned rows indicate that the yield
is more likely to be reduced than
increased by chopping, under the con-
ditions at Greenville.
Closely spaced plants produce few
vegetative branches, 50 that the lanes
between the rows are left open and
exposed to direct sunlight during tie
summer. The heat Of the sun in the
open row lane rapidly dries out the
squares containing the bowl-weevil
larvae and materially reduces their
number. By leaving the plants close
ly spaced in the rows, a practical and
economical contributiodn toward wee
vii control is put into operation.

Electricity Trans
forms A Nation

Many who think of Our Country as
great nation industrially, think on
ly of industries in the large cities.
But the industrial output of country
towns. and small cities is gradually
SURPRISING in volume the output of
the great metropolises.
Just as the country towns and small
ler cities hold preponderance of news
paper circulation in the nation, so
the thousands of smaller industries
hold the preponderance of payrolls
and general production, except in a
few highly specialized industries.
This remarkable rural growth has
taken place largely within the last
25 years, and would have been I'M
possible without the far-reaching ben
efits derived from electrical develop
ment
Better living and labor conditions
have resulted.
Electricity has given every hamlet
| light and modern entertainment, while
the telephone and automobile have
made neighbors out Of the whole ma
tion. Radio, the youngest child of e.
lectricity, has brought the rural dis
tricts into immediate and constant
communication with the metropolitan
! centers.
Is it any wonder the country towns
and smaller cities grow, when they
have virtually all the advantages and
conveniences enjoyed in the largest
cities, without the disadvantages?

IENSENS NAVIGATOR RECEIVES
SIS AS HIS SHARE OF PRIZE

HONOLULU, Aug. "a R-The
Star Bulletin learned today that
Captain Paul Schulter of San
Francisco, navigator Of the mono
plane Aloha which won $4,000 as
second prize for Pilot Martin Jen-
sen in the Dole flight race, had
received from Jensen only $25 in
cash and the promise of a ticket
to the 4nainIand.
This was discovered when
Schulter appealed to friends to
cash personal check, since he
was entirely without funds.
Jensen explained that SchuIter
took the navigator position merely
for experience, receiving no cash
compensation.
Passage has been engaged by
Jensen, MRS. Jensen and Schulter
on the liner City Of Los Angeles,
which will sail Sunday for Los
Angeles.
Pilot Arthur C. GoebeI, whose
plane finished first in the Dole
race, previously had announced
that he expected to share the
$4,000 prize with naval Lieuten-
ant w. v. Davis, his navigator.
GOebeI gave Davis a check for
$500, which he estimated was half
of the $4,000 he cleared of the
prize.

Goebel and Davis sailed today
for San Francisco OH the liner
Manoa, which is expected to arrive
in six days. The fIiers declared
that "the hardest part of the
whole flight is leaving Honolulu"
"A great crowd gathered at the
dock to bid them farewell. Gov
erior Wallace I'll. Harrington went
to the dock and invited GOebel
and Davis TO return to the islands.
Mrs. Jensen said that four
Honolulu men controlled 76 per
cent of the nlOnoplane Aloha and
would receive rs per cent of any
proceeds accruing to the second
place winner of the Dole flight.
She said that the purpose of the
forthcoming trip to. the mainland
was to make money, and that
SchuIter would be compensated to
the extent of $1,5OO which it was
expected would be realized from
syndicated articles of the flight
story.
SchuIter admitted that no ar
rangement had been made prior to
departure from Oakland for any
payment to him.
"But 1 naturally expected to
make something out of it; that's
one reason why l came" he added.

Close to Agreement on
Water Division
HOPE FOR PACT
Delegates of Upper Basin
States Hopeful of Final
Agreement.

DENVER, Col, Aug. "a tP)--Pro-
lection OF the question OF the dis
position of power generated at the
proposed Boulder canyon dam into
the deliberations of the governors
conference, now seeking, settlement
of the problems of the Colorado river,
loemed tonight as a menace to the
further tranquility of the conference.
The conference was called by the
governors of Wyoming, Utah, Colorado
and New Mexico in an attempt to
iron ollt the differences existing be-
tween California and Arizona, so as
to bring about final ratification or
the seven state Colorado river COM
pact.
Two of the three major differences
preventing agreement between Call
fornia and Arizona tonight were de-
clared by upper states governors TO
have been adjusted satisfactorily dur
ing the past three days. Included
in these we're the diversion to the
state of Nevada of 100000 acre feet
of the water from the main Colorado
river stream and the granting to
Arizona in perpetuity of the water
& the tributary streams of the
Colorado river in Arizona.
The third major difference, being
the amount of water to be given to
California under the terms of the
compact, was nearing solution al
agreement involving the disposition
of but 100000 acre feet of water
separating the two states. This diff
ference has been narrowed SO ma
terially as a result of the three days
deliberations that the governors of the
upper states tonight were confidently
predicting an agreement between the
two lower basin states that would
make possible the final ratification
by both Arizona and California OF
the state compact negotiated at Santa
Fe, N. Ne, in 1922
A spokesman for one of the gov
ernors of the upper basin states today
declared the outlook was hopeful for
the final adjustment of all the diff
culties arising between the lower basin
states over the ALLEGATION of the
waters of the Colorado river, but
he declared the fears of the upper
basin states governors were that any
attempt, such as has been threatened

hotel on this location could be made
to pay exceliently.
The directors reported steady prog

ganization which is to carry on the
WOTK CI pallQtI1g GI1C IOGCl dIlQ IT,
ported that plans and specifications
for the structure would be brought
here probably within the next two
months by the architect, Carleton M
WinSlow, for final approval after
which the work of construction will
be turned to at once.
Hamilton stated that Arizona is
now coming into its own as one o.

SCHOOL MA'AM
Miss Anderson Was Re-
turning From Mexico
University When Shot.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a 1R-Mex-
can bandits seriously wounded" Miss
Florence Anderson, an American, in
an attack yesterday on train 10
kilometers south of Acaponeta, Mex,
the state department was advised to-
day by j. Winsor Ives, vice consul at
Mazatlan.
Miss Anderson was the only Ameri-
can injured out of party OF II, al
though Ives placed the number Of dead
and wounded as high as Is.
Several hundred men participated
in the holdup, which took place at 4
a. M, and more than 40 shots were
fired, Ives reported. After the attack
the train proceeded to Mazatlan and
Miss Anderson was taken to a hospital.
A wound was found upon her left
side, and an operation was deemed
necessary. No advices have been re-
ceived as to it's outcome.
Ives said Miss Anderson was re-
turning to Los Angeles from Mexico
City, where she had attended summer
lectures at the Mexican National Uni
versity.
He advised the state department that
he had made vigorous representatives
to the governor and military authorit-
les of the state of Nayarit, in which
the attack occurred. The department
is understood to be awaiting more
detailed information as to the attack
itself and the steps Mexican authorit-
les have taken to apprehend and pun
ish the bandits before deciding upon a
course of action. If negligence in the
pursuit and prosecution of the guilty
becomes apparent, it is expected that
renresentations to the Mexico City
government through diplomatic chan
nels will be added to those already
made by Vice Consul Ives. Pending
word to the contrary, however, the
Washington government will assume
that the Mexican authorities are TAX
ing appropriate steps and will take no
action.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK,
Aug. "a R-President Coolidge spent
nearly seven hours on Lake Yellow
stone today, returning just after night
fall with eight fine trout in his fish
ing creel.
Leaving the lake hotel to which he
came in time for luncheon, in
speedboat, for a favorite fishing spot
IL miles away Mr.. Coolidge returned
shortly after o'clock this evening.
He was greeted enthusiastically by
the large crowd of vacatioperS, who
had waited in the hotel lobby and on
the lake shore with some concern,
when the president failed to put in an
appearance until long after he was
scheduled to return.
But if the crowd which had strain
ed eyes for half hour at two white
specks which appeared in the distance
about an hour after Mr.. Coolidge was
due, was somewhat alarmed when the
president failed to return on time, Mr..
Coolidge seemed not to notice the late
ness and was smiling when he entered
the hotel and walked to his room Tor
a greatly delayed dinner.
There was feeling of some con-
cern as the dinner hour passed and no
sight of the presidents party could be
gained from the hotel shore. Mrs.
Coolidge, who had waited for awhile
in the lobby, returned to her suite.
The after dinner throng had filled
the lobby and gave the tired looking
president a good round of applause as
he entered. carrying part of his fish
: ing equipment. He smiled wearlly IN
return.
Sam Woodring, chief of the rangers,
who fished with Mr.. Coolidge, said the
president expressed himself as having
'the time of my life"
"He didn't seem to want to come
back at dinner time SO we just stay
ed" Woodring explained.
1t was explained that Mr. Coolidge
caught six beautiful fish. They were
lake trout, known here as cut-throats

/ throat. Some Of them weighed as
much as two pounds.
