FOR STATE SENATOR.

1t is with pleasure that the EXami-
Townsend as a candidate for the state
senate, subject to the action Of the
republican voters at the coming pri-
mary election.
No better man for the place could be
found in Yuma county. Ripe with the
years of experience, having served
the people of Arizona for years as a
public official and officer of the law.
always true to his friends and with
malice toward none, but charity for
all Mr.. Townsend stands today, one
of the foremost citizens of Yuma coun-
ty, and one of the foremost of the
men who have made Arizona what
it is today
Within a few weeks Arizona will
pass into the sisterhood of states, and
yet this were not possible, had not
the men like Mr. Townsend blaZed
the TRAIL fought the rough battles
of the early days, and given us the
golden state that is ours today
Those are the people we owe our
present great commonwealth to. They
are the ones who have made our pres
ent state election possible.
How then, could we more fittingly
honr these men than by making them
official and public men in the first
state election?
Aside from that Mr.. Townsend has
every qualification for the place to
which he aspires. The experience is
his; he is ever alive to the needs of
Yuma, ever equally alive to the needs
of those around him. If nominated
and elected everyone knows that he
will always be found in the fore front
fighting for Yuma and the best need,
Of the Yuma people.
And his work in the senate will al
ways be characterized with the same
high degree of honesty, integrity OF
purpose, and high citizenship that has
characterized his work in positions
in the past, whether it was as Wells
Fargo agent here in the old days
when it took good man to hold the
job, or whether as marshal, constable
or any other office he has ever held
and these have been many.
His hosts of friends all over the
county will welcome his announce
ment and do everything in their power
to further his candidacy.-Yum Fix

COTTON RAISING In
THE PALO VERDE
Another Year Will Witness Much
Larger Acreage Planted in the Pa
10 Verde VaIIey-E. &. Srack In
vestigates Volunteer Crops.

BLYTHE, Cal, Oct. 6-L. E.
Srack, who has just returned
from visit to the Imperial valley
cotton fields, comes back stronger
booster of cotton than ever, and is
very enthusiastic regarding the grow
ing of volunteer crops. He says:
Like every other thing raised
growers have different opinions as
to how the best results may be OBJ
tanned, but by visiting the many
different fields and seeing the
results l was able to gather much
valuable information that would take
several years to obtain by personal
experience. Some growers did moth
ing but cut off the old stocks and
turn in the water; others did moi
even cut off the old stocks and the
fields have yielded a large amount
of cotton, but are of course far from
what they should have been; they
naturally got a yield according to
what care they took of their land.
Zone picker has picked a of a
bale to the acre and estimates that
he has a bale or more yet to pick.
The best yield so far reported is
that of an old southern cotton grow
er, who has recently picked a full
bale to the acre the first picking,
and says that if he knows. anything
about cotton he still has two bales
more to the acre yet to pick.
1.-The volunteer cotton has several
peculiarities, one of which is that
the first picking is closely cOngre-
gated around the center and near
the ground; another and profitable
point is that the fiber is better, it
to make 500-lb. bale, while it takes
about 900 pounds of seed cotton OF
this years planting to make a bale.
The big cotton seed and gin mill
at FL Centre, of which Mr.. Srack
was the promoter and secretary for
a year, is now running full blast and
turning out world of stock feed,
beside the many carloads of oil
which has become such a favorite
cooking and salad oil, Los Angeles
alone using about a carload of
cotton seed oil a day the year around.
Mr. 'Srack states that taken as a
whole this years planting in the
Imperial valley does not come up to
that of the Palo Verde valley and the
cotton growers are certainly to be
congratulated for the remarkable
showing they have made. There
is no doubt that another year will
see a much larger acreage in this
district and with the experience of
this year to go by the crop next
year should be even better, and
with a better understanding of the
soil conditions proper time to irrigate
there is no doubt that crops of
two bales to the acre will not be
unusual, but the rule. The posi-
bilities of the volunteer crops are
yet to be determined, but which AT
present hold forth very alluring prom

Taylor Benched and Wolfe Finished
Behind Bat For Cairo Chang
ing Lineup.

Paducah, KY, July 9-The open
series here today was marked by
much fighting on both sides mostly
because OF the decisions of new
umpire just appointed.
The umpire made bad decisions
on both sides and was especially
poor on calling pitched balls. In
the early part Of the game Paducah
was at the bat and everything that
went over the plate was being called
a ball" although Zeke Taylor
would motion for strikes and Boley
would throw them.
zeke Taylor called the umpire's
attention to his gross unfairness
and then the trouble started. The
umpire and Taylor had it back
and forth and Zeke was benched
with $40 fine.
Taylor being benched caused a
big shake up in the Cairo team and
weakened it somewhat as Taylor is
about the heaviest hitter in the lea
que and Wolfe came from the
field and had never before this sea-
son been behind the mask.
