It is q curious thing that more of this de- icious fruit is not produced in this section MT, Johnson thinks there is no reason why it should not pay to ship these grapes by the carload to the eastern markets, and receive good returns. It is with fruit and cotton and by intensive cultivation that this section will eventually be made one Of the richest spots on the globe. and the sooner more of this class Of rHoducts are planted the quicker it will come about

NEW YORK, Aug. 84-With En- glish golfers in all three national championship tournaments this au- tumn the play for amateur. open and Woman's titles takes an added inter est According to the latest reports Abe Mitchell will complete in both the amateur and open; Miss Muriel Dodd, present woman champion of Great Britain, and Miss Ravenscroft 1912 champion. in the Woman's titular tourney; Harry VardOn. Wilfred Reid and Edward Ray in the open. There is early evidence that these title seeking golfers, aided by the French trio, will attract unusual attention to the competitions at Garden City, BrOoklin and Wilmington
 Large entry lists are predicted for both the amateur and open. The en- tire week, September 1-6, will be de- voted to the amateur tournament. A record entry is also expected for the open competition and the play will in all probability require four instead of two days as originally planned It Is believed that many of the United States professionals will avail them selves of the opportunity to enter with the idea of watching the famous foreign players in action, rather than the hope of securing a place in the final rounds.

ONE NEED OF MESA

Money in Saving Fruits and Vegc
 tables That Go to Waste

Mesa needs a cannery, and needs t badly. There are hundreds of dol lars worth of vegetables and fruits going to waste i'll the valley, because there is no place to dispose of them. Only the very choicest Of this fruit can be made to pay by shipping, and the rest, which is the larger part, should be canned and made to pay. There would be all kinds of fruit and vegetables produced in this section if there was a place where it could be Gisp sed of. It is by intensive cuiti- walton that farming is being made to pay iii any section of the country at tine present time. and il will be that way in this section before long. With the cannery giving q market for all kinds Of vegetables, the obnoxious weeds and grasses of the valley would go m be killed off, for the intensive cultivation necessary for the produC- ton of that class of produce is the crly way that this foul growth can ever be killed off, this in itself is a sufficient cause for the erection of such plant.
 But it should be q very profitable business as the amount of canned goods used in the valley and sent out to the surrounding mlnlnS camps during the wear is simply immense; all of this could and should be pro 6uced right here and the money kept at home With a better climate. bet ter soil and more water. there is no reason for the people of the Salt River valley buying their vegetables from California. The business men of Mesa should take this matter up ord see to it that Mesa has a first class c&nnery before another season.
