A Perpetual Radish Bed.

This plan of growing radishes gives
the fresh crisp vegetable in the kitch-
en- garden from May to September; OF
course they are not marketed, but
grown solely for our own table. Each
time radish is pulled the soil is
smoothed over with a movement OF

same place. BY keeping the soil mod
erately rich SO as to insure quick
growth, no difficulty is experienced in
obtaining crisp vegetables, even in
the hottest weather.

LOOK OUT FOR THE CREAMERY
 PROMOTER.

Farm and Preside, the national farm paper published at SpringfieId ono, issues the following warning in It's current mum ber-a warning that is valuable to investors, whether they live in the city or in the country:
 The month of June, when dairy cows are producing the greatest az SreSate amount of milk of any time of the year. is a favorable month for the activities of creamery promoters. BasIng their assurances for a large ana prosperous business on the June mllk yleld, these promoters have in tluenced thousands of dairymen to buy the material and machinery for q creamery capitalized generally at from So,o00 to $S,00O and usually worth half the amount Such a plan is not to be confused with a co-operativelv organized creamery where the farm CTS and local business men take an active spontaneous interest in the or ganlzation and are not talked into ii by promoters who cite successful CO., operative creamerfes as object lessons.

EAST SHOULD KNOW MORE
 OF SALT RIVER VALLEY

Guy Attaway, business manager of the Mesa Egyptian Cotton Exchange. arrived home Saturday night from a tCfp to Fl Paso, Houston, Dallas and other points in Texas and Oklahoma, where he has been arranging for machinery for the Mesa gin and oil mill. MT. AttaWay reports that every thing has now been ordered for the gins and mill and that the maNhinery Nill begin to arrive by the middle of August. Quite a great deal of this was especially designed for this gin and is being made under his direction Work on the new buildings will be started by the last of the week and the plant will be ready for business by the fifteenth of September of the first of October. The capacity of the gin will be about thirty-five bales of cotton per day and the suction car handle and store about fifty bales. The oil mill will have a capacity of ten tons per day. He reports that Texas and Oklahoma have each plant cd the largest acreage in their his tory, but that in some parts thc cotton was suffering from drouth and that unless conditions changed the weld would be light. While in the cast lie Hdu sdnnpleS or the ESypIlan cottonseed tested for oil and found that the seed was very rich in every thing but ammonia, which he attri- Eutes to the dryness of the Arizona air.

The people of Mesa are a money making set, and they are not slow about spending when they get what they want MT Menhennet began here three years ago with a small open air show which under his careful management even tually grew into the Coliseum theater Of the present time; this building in time became too small to hold the crowds that came to see the attrac- tons shown, so the Majestic was added to the line of showhouses un- der Mir.

GILA RIVER WATER
 AND THE WELL SYSTEM
Statement by Mir. Thackery of Indian
 Service at Sacaton.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 In your issue of June 18th. 1913, ap- peared an article entitled: Grain Fields Tax All Hands" Copies of this article have been sent by mail about over the country, apparently in the hope of reviving the old case in which the Pima Indians and the reclamation service and other government officials had some differences as to the method of irrigating the Pima lands. While I appreciate any good intentions which may have prompted the author of this article, it is apparent that some people are construing this publication as indi- eating that myself and MT. C. R. Ol- berg. representing the Indian bureau, favor the well system or irrigating the Indian lands as against the original system of irrigation direct from the Gila River or from the proposed San Carlos dam. I have no hesitation in saying that myself and, I think, Mr Olberg also. strongly favor the GiIa River water for the irrigation of the Indian lands of this reservation. and that I shall do all in my power to re- store to them their full rights to GiIa River water.
 The Indians unquestiOnably have the prior right to Gila River water, which is ample for their needs if their rights are properly respected, and therefore I see no good eason to advance for giv- ing them a substitute, and especially so when il is necessary for the Indians or their lands to bear the cost of the substitute. They have been induced to
  after the passage of congressional leg islatfon relieving them of the payment for the well system, and believing that their use of the wells would not ieop- ardize their rights to Gila River water. The wells are used only when there is no water in the Gila River and under present conditions when a large part of the natural flow of the Gila River is diverted by other parties. the wells do provide a much-needed relief in matur- ing crops grown by use of the GiIa River water. but it is our contention that the Indians have the first right to the river water and therefore that any substitute should go to the parties whose claims should be considered af- ter the Indians rather than before them.
 During the present season the water flowed in the Gila River and in our Indian ditches up to about May 9th. and many of the earlier crops of the Santan Indians were matured by that time. The later crops, however, were and are being matured by use of the well system whenever there is no water in the Gila River
 It should be stated also that some seven or eight other Indian villages de- pending entirely on water from the Gila River, and not having been provided with any well system, have been able this year to produce reasonably good crops.
 Very truly yours.

AROUND TOWN

George Kelley is having quite a struggle with a field of cotton MT Kelley arrived at the conclusion that his cotton last season went too much to talk and not enough to cotton; that in the face of the final result which gave him a bale and three quarters to the acre. This season MT. Kelley tried to keep the cotton cut back so that it would not grow over four feet tall; but it grew too fast for him and much of it is now five feet and still growing Nevcrthe- less, the outlook is good; he recently counted some of the bolls and found that there were over eighty to the stalk and there will be no doubt as many more before the cotton begins 70 mature. If he gets less than two bales of lint cotton to the acre, MT Kelley will be disappointed
