more will leave in short time tohunt
a livelihood. 's'This condition means
a change in Instrumental and this
means less efficiency; not that the
men affected cannot do their work,
but much Of the music now in the
library of the band cannot be handled
without reed instruments, viz, either
clarinets or saxophones, and gen.
orally both are needed to play music
from grade three upward, and on
account of this very condition, the
band cannot carry out its ambitions.
AS an illustration: The band a
short time ago was using three out
of four of its saxophones and one
clarinet, while at the present time
it us using one clarinet and one
saxophone, while three saxophones
are idle. This condition was brought
on by changing the soprano saxo-
phone player tand putting him on
the solo cornet, and while it is true
that the man in question in as ex-
cellent performer on both instru-
ments, it is impossible for him to
play both at the same time. Again
the tenor saxophone man playing
the bass and the tenor Sax is out,
and just at present neither it nor
the bass is in operation and will not
be for sometime. as the gentleman,
splendid performer as he is, cannot
serve us and be off working. And
right now five Of the band members
are out for no other reason than to
make living. It is true that two
of them will be back in their places

Rocky Ford Cantaloupe Asso-
citation Sign with Crutch-
field & Voolfolk

The following letter was received
by A. G. Smith from James B.
Ryan. president Of the Rocky Ford
Melon Growers Association, in an
swer to letter from Mr.. Smith:
Rocky FORD. Colo.
January 30, 1912.
A. G. SMITH, Secretary
Z Gila Valley Produce Association,
Stafford. Arizona.
DEAR SIR. Your letter of recent
date received. asking as to the facts
in regard to any dissatisfaction with
Crutchfeld & Voolfolk, Of Pitts
burg. Pa. in handling our canta-
loupe crop for 1911.
| will first say this. there is no
complaint against these people at
all; on the contrary, we have signed
our contract for 1912 with them.
OF course, we. as most all canta-
loupe growers in the United States
last year, did not get as much for
our melons as we wished. but do
not in any way lay the blame to the
distributors.
Last year there were six commits
sion firms doing business here and
Crutchfield & Voolfolk, paid more
than any Of them bv several cents
per crate, and were the only people
who really stood for better canta-
loupes and tried to raise the stan
dard where it should be and lived
up to their contract with us to the
letter.
These people have had our con-
tract for the past five years, and
1912 is the sixth time. Surely if
they were not fair we would not
keeping signing contracts with them.
/ have many letters from outside
places like yours, asking If certain
rumors are true. We know where
these things come from. for the
same parties are always telling the
same manner of stuff of our Asso-
citation, for we are the only big as
sociation in the Arkansas valley, and
il they could get us out of the way.
then they would naturally have
things their own way. Our associa-
tion has each year from 1875 to 100
members, and ship annually about
225 cars Of melons, beside DO to 60
cars local, F. O. B. know what |
say is true. for as president of this
association. | am in position to know.
We sign our contract with Mr..
Cadwallader. who is Crutchfield &
Woolfolk's agent. We have perfect
confidence in his integrity and judg-
ment, and we work together fine
without any friction whatever,
We have no quarrel with any
commission house and Crutchfield &
Voolfolk have no strings on us. l
only say these things in fairness to
all and in justice to these people.
Most respectfully yours,
JAMES B. RYAN, President,

Fine High School.
Because the county did not have
funds enough to justify an eight
months school at Greenwood did not
phase the people there in the least.
They organized a special sub-school
tax district and made up the deficiency
and eight months of school were pro-
vided for the children. So rapidly
did the attendance increase that the
county allotment of funds and the
special tax was inadequate to carry
on the school as it should be con-
Quoted. The citizens went down into
their pockets and made up the amount
to secure enough teachers to carry on
the work properly for eight months,
giving to Greenwood school facilities
equal to any town in the state.
Business Institutions.
Stability of the business institu-
tons of a town is about the best way
to tell what the country amounts to.
If this may be taken as a barometer
Greenwood is one of the most substan-
tiaf sections in West Florida for the
bushes houses are all that could be
asked. In fact they are not only con-
Quoted upon solid foundation, but
are modern and up-to date in every
particular, the mercantile establish
ments drawing trade from miles
around.

profit of 48 per cent on the capital
stock last year is the pride of the
community. 1t is conducted along safe
and sane lines and has been of ma

the fact that their children and their

Lodges flourish in the city. In ad-

Discussing means of building a city

several months ago. One man allowed
that If a city should ever be built 1t
had to find a place to build upon. UP
until last morning every foot of land
around Greenwood was owned by per-
sons who were perfectly satisfied to
keep on owning it. Isn't it worth
just as much to me as anyone else?''
one man asked when it was suggested
that some of the lands be put on the
market for sale as an inducement to
locate settlers.
After the conference. which really
wasn't conference after all, the lead
ing progressive citizens concluded to
organize an Improvement company.
Others agreed to sell the company
tracts of land to be sold only to good
homeseekers, and now there is an i'm

nous, and in addition to this the fruit
industry is being given attention.
These fruit orchards make excellent
grazing pastures for hogs and cattle
as do the fields where the crops are
rotated. By this method pastures are
provided for the entire year, making
stock-raising profitable business.
One man near Greenwood cleared
$4,000 cellars last year by selling hogs
for the market and there are numbers
of others doing almost as well. This
It will be remembered, Is a side issue
and the hogs are raised and sold in
addition to the other crops. 1t is mere
ly the utilization of the waste crops
as food for the hogs.
Cattle are also raised for the market
and Greenwood furnished many fat
beeves Tor the slaughter houses. jack

ton of being superior to the western
beef, and just as soon as one or tw
communities combine to build a pack
ing house where the meats can be
stored any day in the year. Jackson

to the packers.
There are no poultry farms around
Greenwood, but raising poultry with
the farmers there is so easily done
that they take il as a matter of course
and IL is not the exception when A

dollars year off his poultry in add
