15 Million Dollars
For Arizona Cotton
In the report issued September
8. by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, its estimate of
the cotton crop in Arizona is 244.
000 bale 3, as compared with an
actual production in 1936, of 191,-
000 bales. If nothing happens to
the price pegging of cotton, this
means a cash income of $14,600,000
to Arizona cotton growers, from in
acreage of 269,000. The estimate of
the nation's cotton crop shows a
valuation of more than one billon
dollars. Local picking is getting
well under way.

Suggestions For
Fall Seeding
Wheat producers and other farm
ers who grow fall sown crops are
advised by the agricultural adjust
ment administration to take ac
count of the probable provisions of
the 1938 Agr cultural Conservation
program in making their plans tor
planting this coming fall.
The AAA officials suggest seed
ing of soil depleting craps not tc
exceed 80 per cent of the 1937 s'-l
depleting base acreage. Although
' keeping seedings to the 1937 soil
depleting base should qualify most
farms in 1938, individual farmers
who have large percentages of their
crop laud n soil depleting bases
may have their bases adjusted by
the County Committees to a some
what smaller figure for the year
1935. This suggestion is made ■*.
this time for the guidance of farnir
ers who must plan their farm
management program for 1939 be
fore the Agricultural Conservat on
Program is announced.
An outline for the 1938 Progiam
is now being developed in Wash
ington but has not as yet been
completed.

The leaves are divided into thren
leaflets and the berries or fruit are
wh t>sh or cream colored, some

The current total of jobless work
ers compares with a peak of 9,312,-
