The details of the big pro-
gram for Labor Day are now
being filled in. Marshall

HIGH RATING IS
GIVEN TO VALLEY
COTTON YIELD

During each cotton grow
ing and picking season the
United States department of
agriculture issues a series of
four predictions on the ex-
pected cotton crops through
out the nation, giving the
yield per acre estimated for
each state. The accurate
ness of these reports is one
of the leading features of
the entire system. Few
persons ever challenge the
government cotton report.
In the report issued at the
first ofAugust the forecast
balesof all types, of which
1900 bales of Pima cotton
are expected. The report
states that stands of cotton
appeared very good, tleldS
were we'll cultivated and no
serious insect damage was
found.
The report shows that the
10-year average cotton yield
is 296 pounds to the acre as
compared with a national
pounds. The crop yield this
year is estimated at 335
pounds to the acre and the
national average 1859. Only
California and New Mexico
can rival such unusual cot
ton yield figures.
The fact that Arizona
grows considerable Pima
cotton somewhat lowers its
state average, as the Pima
variety produces 33 1-3 to
so per cent less to the acre
than the upland variety

deer HERDS IN KA-
IBAB DECREASING

Belief that the deer herd
in the Kaibab forest has
been greatly reduced is ex-
pressed by Gov. George w.
P. Hunt who visited the
forest recently.
On a trip through the
forest to the North Rim, the
governor reports he saw 25
or 80 head of deer in a pack
where formerly it was posi-
BILE to see as many as 100 at
a time. The deer have been
protected at the park, he
states, and no hunting has
been permitted in that part
of the forest.
The manager of the Union
Pacific hotel on the North
Rim of the Grande Canyon,
according to the governor,
said that last season it was
a common experience for
deer to come to the hotel to
be fed by the guests, but
that this year no deer had
come. All persons living
in the vicinity of the forests,
the governor declared, ad-
vised him that there appear
ed to be a smaller number of
deer in that section now than
formerly.

HEAVY RAINS SAT.
STOP ROAD WORK
AND DELAY TRAINS

Saturday night heavy
showers fell at Coolidge and
all the ella valley was visit
ed with dOwnpourS in cloud
burst proportions flooding
the highways, and all dips
were running full. The ella
river was a rushing stream
Sunday morning caused from
an all night rain.
Much damage was done
to the newly constructed
highway between Coolidge

passable for several day.
Huge logs and debris of all
kinds floated across the
roads in many places, caus-
ing travelling along the high
way rather hazardous.
A heavy windstOrm was
also blowing and limbs of
trees were broken off cauS-
ing some damage to tele-
phone lines.
The railroad track be-
tween San Tan and Olberg
was washed away and three
work trains were kept busy
all day Sunday repairing the
track. There were no trains
east Sunday. The water
near Bisbee Junction was
quite high and weakened the
track considerably but with
caution the trains passed
over safely.
The rain storm was gen
eral throughout the north

THE CACTUS INDUS
TRY IN THIS STATE

We learn from the Perpe-
tual Encyclodedia that Ari-
zona has an industry of
which, we believe many Ari-
zonians are not aware. The
Encyclopedia derives it's in
formation from the Michi-
gan Manufacturer, which
describes the varied uses to
which the cactus of this
state is put. Out of cactus
is made, as we know, candy
but we may not have heard
that from it we get soaps,
drugs and cleaners.
The most useful of all the
products of cactus is a liquid
called cactizone used in
keeping automobiles radia-
tors clean, takes rust form
castings, kills algae in water
supplies, and is of so great
potency that only a gallon
of it need be put in 10000
gallons of feed water.
According to the Encyclo-
pedia article, more than a
million acres of cactus are
being cultivated in this state.

POISON PLANTS TAKE
PLACE OF INSECTICIDES

When the boil weevil in
vaded the South the planters
thought they were ruined.
Then they learned to live
with the pests. Now there
is a chance that some of
them will be able to help
wage war against the insect
pests. This country uses an
enormous quantity of insect
poiSons, some of which are
imported.
Chemists of the United
States department of agrl-
culture are studying the pos
sibilities of utilizin poisonous
domestic plants, or of intro
ducing foreign poisonous
plants, as sources of insecti-
cides. Pyrethrum and to-
bacco, two of our most effec-
tive insecticides, are expen-
sive, and this country is d.
pendent almost wholly on
Japan and Europe for pyre-
thrum. TIL chemists have
found that three tropical
plants-Derris, cube, and
haiari-are promising sour
ces of a new and highly ef-
efctive poison, rotenone.
Experiments indicate that
rotenone is a double-acting
poison more poisonous than
pure nicotine as contact in
secticide, rivaling pyrethrum
in toXicity to many insects,
and showing some promise
of replacing arsenic as a
stomach insecticide nonpoi-
sonous to men and animals.
The 60,000,000 pounds of
arsenates this country uses
annually retail for about
S7,000,000. If farmers can
cultivate n e e tropical
in the warm regions of the
United States and in the
Territories, it may reduce
the cost of fighting the in
sect pests and also provide
profitable crops in areas
where cotton has ceased to
be profitable. The chem
lists are also studying other
poisonous plants with the
hope of finding some that
can be grown as field crops
in the temperate regions
