All of the Egypt inn cotton seed [ now planted in the Salt River Val ley in Arlsona and In the Imperial Valley is of the Pima variety, de veloped by the Federal specialist*. Special attention la called to this fact because commercial intervals which have undertaken to promote O10 growing of thhi cotton on a large scale in Arizona and California have given thalr product a distinctive name, though grown from seed ol the variety developed by the Tie partment of Agriculture.
