NEW CHANNEL OF ADVERTIS-
lNG-Harry WEIGH, secretary of the
board of trade has decided TO under
take the opening OF a new channel of
advertising, that of the American
consular service. He proposes to
open up correspondence with the
American consuls in foreign lands
from which desirable immigrants
might be secured. or in places con-
stantly visited by the tourist world,
with a view of supplying them with
valley literature. Not only are there
many foreigners Of a desirable sort
seeking new homes i'm America. but
many wealthy tourists, even from
America, who are constantly seeking
mild winter climates for health or
pleasure. naturally applying to for
eign consuls wherever they stop for
information of a varied sort, may
learn things about their own country
that their attention had not hitherto
been called to.
EXHIBITS WANTEp-The Board
of Trade, among it's various enter
prises for the present year. proposes
10 nj ri N
less permanent exhibit in Los Angeles
and this fall it proposes to make an
other exhibit at the Chicago Irrigated
Lands exposition. For both of these
shows it will require a great many
exhibits of the products of the valley.
such as sheaves of the various grains
grown. sample bundles of alfalfa. and
all manner of fruits and vegetables
that may be preserved either in Jars
or dry. Anything and everything is
desired that can in any way demon
strate the fertility of the Arizona
soil and its wonderful cropping pro-
pensities. The board sincerely hopes
that farmers who see this notice may
feel moved to bring in their contri-
buttons. There are few farmers who
would miss two or three sheaVes of
wheat, an armful of alfalfa. a peck
of turnips or a box of fruit. and
these little things. all brought to-
gether. are what make the big exhib-
its. If the farmer wants to see his
land double in value he ought to be
willing to contribute these things. es-
pecially while the business men are
putting up the money for the main
tenance of the exhibits.
