COTTON BAGS NOW
USED AS CONTAINERS
FOR 500 PRODUCTS

Cotton bags are now being
used as containers for ship
ment of more than 800 commo-
ditjes, according to figures OBJ
tanned by the new uses section
OF the Cotton-Textile Institute.
Hundreds of millions of many
sizes are required annually to
take care OF the demand.
One OF the largest outlets for
cotton flbric in this field Is
sugar bags. One company a
lone manufactured and sold SO,
100000 cotton sugar bags in
1882, using approximately 40
100000 yards of sheeting for
this purpose. In addition, s.
100000 cotton liners for 100
pound bags of other material,
requiring about 100000 yards
of sheeting. were sold by the
same company.
Evidence of the bag industry's
immense cotton consumption in
other directions is furnished by
the production of approximate
ly 100000 cotton potato
sacks in 1882. Two years earl
ier cotton bags represented
about 10 per cent of the total
number used for the put-up of
potatoes. In 1888 it is esti-
mated that the proportion of
cotton bags will be several times
increased.
Packaging of commodities in
popular sales units and consum-
er preference for cotton contain
ers. because of their reuse value
account largely for the growing
of cotton for
many new purposes.

THE MAIN TENET OF
SAFETY ON ROADS

Safety on the highways is
principally an attitude of mind.
Better cars and roads won't
attain it Indeed they tend
toward the opposite result. 1t
has long been the experience
that when a stretch of poor
road is converted into a broad,
straight, smooth highway the
number of accidents Increase
because motorists overestimate
the safety factor. They lose
the sense of caution that a poor
road naturally creates, and the
death and injury rate booms.
The same thing is true of
automobiles. The manufac-
turers give us cars with better
brakes, surer steering, more per-
fectly balanced bodies---and we
abuse them to the point where
the automobile accident rate
breaks all records.
The safety attitude" isn't a
particularly difficult one to de-
velope, 1t is simply to drive
as we'd like the car approach
ing us to drive. Don't cut cor
ners. nor pass on curves or hills
nor drive on the wrong side of
the road, nor fight for the right
of way, nor drive SO fast you
cannot stop in the assured clear
distance ahead Almost every
accident, minor or severe, oc-
ours because someone violates
these simple rules.
Possibly a better phrase for
safe driving would be "courte-
Gus driving" Discourtesy on
the highway is always the friend
of accidents. If you'll make up
your mind to drive the way you
think the other fellow should
drive, the accident rate will be
due for a severe beating in the
future.

MRS. ISABELLA CREENWAY
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS
ARIZONA VOTES ON RE-
PEAL NEXT TUESDAY

Arizonians will vote next
Tuesday on repeal of the 18th
amendment.
Action by Charles r. Osbrun,
seeking permanently to enjoin
state and county officials from
conducting the balloting, was
dismissed yesterday by Judge G
A. Rogers of the Maricopa Co.
Superior Court, who sustained
defense demurrers.
Attorneys for Osburn gave
formal notice of appeal to the
Arizona Supreme Court, and
added they would take the case
ito the United States Supreme
Court if necessary.
Neither action was consider
ed likely to prevent Tuesdays
vote, which will be on the cleo
tion of delegates to the state
convention, although a revers-
al by either court subsequently
could void the result.
The main point of Osburn's
suit was an allegation that the
House Bill l of the special ses-
sion, llth legislature, was not
constitutional under the Arizo-
ma constitution.
In sustaining the demurrers,
Judge Rodgers in effect said
this could not be point at is
sue for two reasons: There is
nothing in the Arizona consti-
tuition about amending the con-
stitution of the United States
and the legislature actually was
deriving authority for passage
of the bill direct from the su-
preme law of the land

STEWARD OBSERVATORY
SEEKS METEOR FOR STUDY

Great interest was expressed
at Steward observatory Tucson,
regarding the meteorite which
fell at Twenty-fourth street and

ly. Dark brown with singed
black edges and having the ap-
pearance of molten lava, the
tiny piece, apparently broken
from a much larger body is
only an inch and a half long
and an inch in diameter.
1t was picked up in the front
yard of Mr.. and Mrs Fred Sui

what appeared to be the COM
ing of a shooting star. When
it was within what seemed to
be 40 feet of the ground, it
burst into fame, and was smok-
ing when it struck the ground.
To observers in other parts
of the city, the meteorite first
appeared in the northern sky as
a large, redish ball of fire. 1t
was visible for several seconds.

PLANT COTTON LAND
TO OTHER CROPS

"The federal plan for the
reduction in cotton acreage
gives those growers, who par
ticipate in the reduction pro-
gram" )" says DR.. R. s. Hawkins,
of the department of agronomy,
University of Arizona, "the
problem of deciding on what to
do with their acreage thrown
out of cotton production.
Growers will not be allowed
to plant cotton fields, which
have been plowed up, to other
crops included in the Federal
Governments reduction pro-
gram unless such crops are con-
sumed on the farm where pro-
duced.
Wheat, corn and cotton are
the only crops grown on a COM
mercial scale in Arizona which
are included at present in the
Government reduction program.
Land thrown out of cotton
production may be planted to
such summer crops as Sudan
grass, sorghum, including He
gari, and Milo, or to cowpeas.
Sudan grass may be planted as
late as August |, and still make
a satisfactory crop with favor
able growing conditions. Aug.
| is too late for the sorghums
and cowpeas. Barley and oats
may be planted in the fall for
hay and grain. Some of the
cotton land can we'll be pre-
pared for late fall seeding of
alfalfa.
A recent United States de-
partment of agriculture press
service sheet states, Growers,
who plan to cooperate with the
Government in an effort to re-
store prosperity to southern
farms will give careful consider
alton to the use of all land re-
tired from cotton cultivation,
believe officials of the United
States department of agricul-
ture. To do so is to further
bala nee production on a sane
basis for the ultimate benefit Of
the grower. With the return
of better prices the Arizona
grower can i'll afford to allow
valuable land 10 remain idle.

GRASS WARNING GIVEN

Sudan grass and sorghum that
have been injured by drought
are extremely dangerous as a
pasture of green feed for live
stock, says the United States
department of agriculture.
These cultivated grasses are
more resistant to drought than
most forage crops, but their
prussic acid content is greatly
increased by drought injury.
