PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.
Hopeful of Securing Two Trolley Lines to Glendale One from Phoenix, the Other from the End of In dian School Line

R. P. Davie, manager of the South western Sugar and Land company, spent Friday in Phoenix. He was on his way from a two weeks vacation with his family at Ocean Park, to Colorado and Kansas. where he has other beet sugar factories which will soon be in operation He will then go to New York City and other east ern cities and return to Phoenix for long stay about October l.
 Mir. Davie expressed himself as well pleased with the result of his first year of the sugar beet industry in the valley.
 We learned some things this year which will be useful to us next year. For one thing We will plant our beets earlier next time," said MT. Davie. Another important change will be the enlargement of the factory. Dur ing the season just past the capacity was GOO tons daily. Next year it will be 500 tons. The additional 200 tons a day will require quite an addition in the working force and give em- ployment to a number of people more than it did last year.
 In regard to the acreage to be put into beets the coming year. he said: The acreage this year will be larger than last The beets are to be plant ed about October l. There will be about 1000 acres in all. which will be divided as follows: at Glendale. the Southwestern Sugar and Land com pany will plant 15OO acres; w. J. Murphy. 1000 acres. and Myers and Walsh 500 acres. Two thousand acres will be allotted to the individ- ual farmers around Glendale and Phoenix. Another thousand acres will be allotted to the farmers of Tempe and still another thousand to the farmers of Mesa and vicinity The company's books will be open for the signing up of the beet contracts next Monday.
 As I have said, all beets will be planted earlier this year. Scales and dumps will be erected at all points where the beet acreage warrants the expense. Four carloads of the special Elite beet seed are now on their way to Phoenix. from Germany, and will be here in time for early dis tributiOn and planting. Everything is to be done to make the coming seasons crop a record breaker in the west
 It is said that a number of those who have been growing canteloupes will this year rotate with sugar beets.
 Another subject which at this time is probably nearer to the heart of every one in Phoenix and the valley than any other. was preached to MT Davie. It was that o5 the trolley lines. NIT. DaTe can always be relied upon to take up any subject which tends toward the development of the valley in which hef is heavily inter ested financially.
 When I was in Los Angeles" he said, T called upon General NJ. 1T, sherman for the particular purpose of trying to induce him to build a trolley line from Phoenix to Glen dale. From the result of that confer ence. l would like to say that I believe the thing can be done, pro- vided certain bonus were raised by those interested"
 On MT. Davies return from New York, it is his intention to press this matter vigorously He said that he hoped to be instrumental in get ting a line built from the extension of the Indian school car line to the factory and then to Glendale.
