Last spring the Arizona Seed Co.
which has a place of business near

the sign, Plant summer crops, it

that many settlers in this valley who
are not aware of its possibilities and
who have been accustomed to raising
only one crop per year on a given
acre, no matter what the crop might
be. are unaware that the productivity
of their acres may be doubled by
planting the right kind of crops and
keeping the ground working" The
successful farmer in this valley, I'M

that grows the year round, is no

Il was the purpose of the Arizona

test and has done so, very much to

DAVENPORT, Ia, Sept 26.-The
International Association Of Machinists
in joint session today voted to leave
the question of a proposed strike on
the Hartman lines to the executive
board with full power to act. The
strike is now up TO President Neon
mel and his fellow members of the
executive committee. The action is
a victory for Mcconnell, who re
fcrred the matter to the convention,
refusing to act until authorized to do
SO. The socialistic faction in the
convention has been trying TO take
the matter from the hands of the
president.
Later the convention adopted a reso-
luton declaring for the strike Of the
machinists on the Hartman lines I'M
less the demands of the federated
employees be granted.
This action was taken over the pro-
test Of President Mcconnell. Neon

the convention. The majority re-
port favoring the strike was signed

makers, President Ryan of the car
men. President Kline of the black
smiths and President Sullivan of the
metal workers. Failure of the ma
chinists' convention TO reach a con-
ference on the question declaring for
a strike during previous sessions
caused a conference by the interna
tionaI officers to be held. 1t was
agreed that the action the interna-
tional president decided on should be
adopted. Officers failed to agree after

ports viii be drawn up. Immedi
