Farmers May
Form Group To
Improve Cotton

Under what is known as the
Smith-Doxey legislation, farmers
may join themselves into associa-
tions for the purpose of improv-
ing the quality of their cotton, and
may secure free CHASING at the
nearest U. S. Department of Agri-
culture Cotton CHASING Office.
Recent information indicates
that this year such an office will
be opened in Phoenix, thus elimi-
mating the previous delay of send
ing cotton samples to Ell Paso,
where they have been classed pre-
viously.
Last year there were five such
associations in Pinal County, and
it is q pAzesed shstA this year .hces
will be several more. Organiza-
ton papers have been furnished
the managers of all Pinal County
gins, and farmers who wish to
avail themselves of the benefit of
this arrangement should immedi-
ately contact their ginner and ask
that they be included as members
in the association.

BUT-that's all changed now.
The men in green have not only

who remain at the monument have
been fighting night and day with

are forced to work for eight hours

completely in charge of the bugs
they finally gave up and moved
out.

Rema Norris lives at Black
water with her parents. Tues
day at dawn Rema knew that
she must find a way to get to
the hospital. But Sacaton.
where she planned to go, was
far and she had no means of
transportation. Perhaps at
Coolidge, where her brother liv-
ed, she could find someone to
take her there. So Rema start
ed walking.
She reached her brothers
home on Harding Avenue at
seven o'clock. But there was
no time to arrange for trip
to Sacaton. Her brother went,
instead, for a doctor.
While he was waiting at
Coolidge Hospital, his wife
came to tell him that the baby

NORTHERN LIGHTS
CLEARLY Seen
OVER COOLIDGE

The Aurora BorealiS, a pheno-
menon of northern lights" very
rare this far south, was seen by
residents here and at Florence.
Saturday morning from 2:30 to
3:45 am. in a weird electrical dis
play that reached from the north
east horizon to the dome of the
sky.
Morning radio reports annOunc-
ed tremendous magnetic electrical
storms all over the world, that
made il Impossible to communl-
cate with Moscow. Local tele-
phones and radios were affected,
according to report, during the
time of display.
There are many types OF
auroral phenomena known as
arcs, rays, bands, curtains and
diffuse glows. They are some
times white, yellowish and, when
bright, many other colors appear.
The one witnessed here Saturday
was like a huge white curtain
that hung in luminous folds OF
light against a background OF
stars. The auroral rays were
stationary, appearing and disap-
pearing without seeming to move,
but in other types there is rapid
cross motion and again they seem
to shoot rapidly upward and dis
appear. These upward pluses, ac'
cording to scientists. are probably
quite real and may be due to pro-
gressive electric discharges.
During the early part of the
10th century rays were measured
by photographing the aurora
against its background Of stars
and in some cases the heights
measured from 24O to ESQ miles.
Auroral photographs. according to
scientists, give the first direct
proof of such a great height for
the atmosphere.
In brightness different auroras
vary immensely. Some are so
faint as to be just visible. others
exceed the light of the full moon,
with all gradations between. A
fairly good aurora, such as was
witnessed here, might be compar-
ed in brilliancy to the Milky Way.
From observations extending
over the centuries the numbers
of auroras have been found to fol
low rather closely the numbers OF
sun spots. On earth it is found
that whenever a brilliant aurora
appears there is almost sure to
be a magnetic storm, accompan'
led by heavy earth currents,
which seriously disturb telegraph
and cable lines, as evidenced by
the disturbance of those from
Moscow. Scientists have reached
the conclusion that the appear
ance of an aurora is closely con
nected with something that hap
pens on the sun and that the orr
ginal outburst takes place there
and that what is seen on the
earth is a mere reflex action.
