Pontus H. Ross, director Of
the agricultural extension de-
partment at the University Of
Arizona, announced receipt to-
day of a telegram from H. Hen
derson. Pinal county, reporting
90 per cent eligibility from that
county for the cotton acreage
reduction program.
Ross said that other cotton
counties of the state have shown
a lively interest in the plan dur
ing the past few days, evidenc-
ed by the call for reduction con-
tract forms The number of
off ers made at the present time
is approximately the same as
the number received last sum-
mer in the "cut out" campaign,
Ross said.
The largest cotton producing
counties have not yet made
heavy returns, but prospects
for 100 per cent participation
are very good, it was reported,
Cotton reduction must be
covered by contract, Ross

COOPERATIVES ONLY
SOUND FOUNDATION

In his speech to the Congress
President Roosevelt repeated a
belief that a basic element in
his recovery program when he
said: II continue in my con-
vction that industrial progress
and prosperity can only be at
tanned by bringing the purchas-
ing power of that portion of our
population which in one form
or another is dependent upon
agriculture, up to a level which
will restore a proper balance be-
tween every section of the coun-
try and every form of work. "
Whether or not time proves
that theory to be entirely cor
rect, it is pleasant to record
that agriculture is gradually
moving upward toward the
level the President speaks of.
Some Of the improvement is due
70 government legislative effort.
But most of the improvement
must be laid to the work dome
by the farmers themselves,
through their cooperative or
CARNATIONS.
These organizations have
been tireless in working to edu-
cate both the general public
and their members in the fun d
amentals of farm problems.
They have been the govern
ments best ally in promoting
acreage reduction and in seek
ing to balance supply with de-
mand. They have done much
in fighting the farmers battles
with the middleman, and in OBJ
tanning a better economic break
for him.
Agriculture is definitely on
the mend and the farm coopera.
tives offer the only permanent
foundation for sound future
progress.

FIRELESS COOKERS FOUND
IN GLACIAL AGE RUINS

Tucson, Feb. 5, 'FireIess
cookers" believed to have been
built by Arizonians $4,000 yrs.
ago were uncovered by Uni
versity OF Arizona archaeology
expedition over the weekend.
DR.. Byron Cummings, head
of the university archaeology
department, who headed the ex-
pedition to prehistoric ruins
lying northeast of Bisbee said,
the people who built the ancient
"freless cookers" lived in the
glacial and post-glacial periods
In Arizona, which geologists
have fixed at $4,000 years or
more ago.
There has been some contro-
versy over similar pits and the
use to which they were put but
DR.. Cummings believes they
were used for roasting.
Il am convinced and always
have been" the eminent archie
ologist said today, "that these
ruins are roasting pits. | be-
lieve they were used for large
scale roasting and served really
as freless cookers.
"The pits are circular and
each has in the bottom several
deeper depressions than the
main portion of the pit. One
the party uncovered was FIVE
feet deep and five feet in dia.
meter. 1t is lined with a deep
layer of'clay and shows the ac-
ton Of FIRE.
IL believe that q fire was
built in the pit and after it died
down the embers were poked
into holes and hot rocks placed
in a layer over the entire bot
tom of the pit. Over these en-
bers and rocks were placed
greens and on top ef them was
put whatever was to be roasted
Then came another layer of
greens and a final covering that
closed t e pit and permitted
slow, long cooking"
"It is my belief" DR.. Cum
mings continued, that these
people, living over %, 900 years
ago in Arizona. had brush shell
ters and belonged to the archaic
age of the glacial and post
glacial periods. This is indi-
Gated by their crude imple-
ments which are similar to ones
we have found in Sulphur
valley which have been
definitely dated"

Washington. (UP) - Americas s already strong trade position, broad bargaining powers given | President Roosevelt, and the re- | vival of world trade will assure the United States continued lead in the foreign commerce of the world in the opinion of admins tration leaders and important | business interests.
 The No. One position of the United States as the worlds larg- est exporter of goods is not be- lieved threatened by the series of trade wars" in various sections of the country, or by the en- croachment of cheap Japanese, or other foreign goods, on the do- mestic and foreign United States markets.
 After leading the export nations of the world in the volume of foreign exports for many years, the United States, according to ocial figures, further has in- creased it's gains since the start of the current year. United States exports through April were 62 per cent ahead of year ago, com pared with a gain of only 26 per cent by Japan, its nearest con- petitor.
 Slight InrOads by Japan
 Some inroads on American trade by cheaper Japanese goods have been admitted, but the United States had more than made up for these losses else where. Germany at the present time appears to be the largest loser of foreign trade, but, still maintains third place in the lead ing export nations of the world.
 It was pointed out in responsible circles that there is little fear of Japanese domination of world trade. President Roosevelt, in addition to the huge resources of the United States, has ample pow CT through reciprocal trade bar gaining powers, to secure impor- tant agreements for trade with other nations of the world, and thus offset any alarming foreign inroads on American trade.
 Export Statistics
 A measure of the ability of the United States to push it's export market in the face of adverse world economic conditions is shown in the following export sttistics gathered by the Cham Der of Commerce of the United States:
 Exports-Pounds 1st quarter 1884; 1st quarter 1893 and gain:
 Coal, coke 3,723,40O,O00; 2,7O6.- 000,00; 376 per cent.
 Crude petroleum 2,203,947,00 1,722,362,000; 24.4 per cent.
 Gas, fuel oil 1,S74,440,000; l. 3S6,032 ,OO0: 35.2 per cent.
 Unmanufactured cotton 1,045,- 3S7,00O; 993,306,OO0; 5.2 per cent.

 "Two-So far as quantity com- parisons are available we rank well with the importing exporting and importing nations of the world in the degree of our foreign trade improvement in 1893 over 1882.
 "Three-On an actual quantity basis a majority of our export and import lines have shown a distinct improvement over 1892 and a strong upward movement toward the higher levels of the five year average"

SPRAY FOR CORN
 BORER EXHIBITED
Other Features of Mount Carmel Field Day Wed=
 nesday Listed

New Haven-A new spray for the control of the European corn borer will share honors With Henry A. Wallace, secretary of ag- riculture in the Roosevelt cabinet in attracting farmers to the annual field day of the Connecticut Agri- cultural Experiment Station next Wednesday,, August 22. The meet ing will be an all day affair at the station farm at Mount Carmel. Secretary Wallace is scheduled to speak at 20 o'clock. He will be introduced by the president of the board of control of the experiment station, Governor Wilbur L. Cross Farmers have suffered severe losses in the past two years be- cause of the ravages of the corn borer. In some places whole fields of corn were destroyed and in others growers have abandoned corn planting entirely.
 For the first time in Connecticut, spray for the control of this pest has been tried out and found suc- cessful at the Mount Carmel farm. On field day visitors may compare plots of corn that have received the same treatment except for the oP All plolS WSlc ICdNlly lll- fested with borer. On sections where the new spray materials de- veloped by c. H. Batchelder of the United States department of agri- culture were applied, so per cent of the cars were good. On untreat- ed plots only 20 per cent of the corn was fit for use. These results of his spray in the Mount Carmel experiment bear out Dr Batchel- ders experience in tests elsewhere.
 Among the exhibits of living in- sect pests prepared by members of the entomology department, sorn' borers may be seen in their var ious stages of development. Extent of their injury to field may be judged by looking at the unspray- ed plots of corn. Other control methods to prevent the increase of the corn borer will be described in circular to be distributed on field day. Tools useful in cleanup work will also be on display.
 Field Day Program
 For the rest, the usual features of field day will be observed. From 10 a. m. (D.S.T.) until noon visitors will be conducted over the experiment plots by members of the station staff. Spray and dust control of such plant diseases as clubroot of cabbage and cauliflow- CT. potato blight, late blight on to- mates, etc; spray and other meth ods of controlling the Mexican beetle, leaf hopper, potato flea bee tie, and fruit pests; breeding of corn, beets, squash and strawber. ries, and other new and interesting experiments are in progress at the farm.
 At non lunch may be purchased or guests may bring their own provisions. A big tent provided with loud speaker will be pitched on the alfalfa field and guesst will be asked to gather there at o'clock to, hear Secretary Wallace speak. The rest of the day will be devoted to further exploration of plots. The occasion promises to be a notable one fir Cnnecticut.

Boots Considers The Stage As

subject was mentioned. Why couldn't Boots be perfectly satis- fled with things as they were? She had good home, didn't she? She knew all the best people in town. Why couldn't she stay at home, wait until some wonderful boy asked her to marry him and settle down right here in one of the lit- tie Spanish houses over, in the Hill section?
 "I'd love the stage" Boots said soberly. i've always wanted to break away-do something"
 She thought of being manne- quin in shop. Head high, hips swinging insolently, showing the latest Paris models. ..

 "Thanks-thanks a lot.' That's all right" He got out to help her and she wished that he wouldn't. It made her so conspicu- ous. He was so big and noticeable in his soiled white slacks, his sweater. What snob she was! As bad as the rest of them.
 To make up for this she was un- usually cordial in her farewells. Oh, well, she needn't do this, ever again. She'd have to avoid leav- | ing the club wen he did. He might misunderstood. l Fortunately her mother was in l the back of the house, fussing with the sweet pea vines and didn't see her arrive.

 "You don't mean to say" her
 mother demanded querulously, , that you've forgotten poor Cousin
 Ella! So sad such a pity ...

 Cousin Ella was already relegated
 to the limbo of forgotten things.
 She had served her purpose, but to Boots mind nothing mattered
