TEMPE
TEMPE GINNING PLANT
 NOW IN FULL OPERATION
Exchange Advancing Cash Where
 Needed to Pay Pickers

The ginning of cotton continues to move merrily and profitably along at the Tempe plant where ten gins are now in constant operation daily. A little over thirteen bales had been turned out at quitting time last even ing and the growers are still push ing the gins to keep pace with the seed cotton that is coming in. Sev- enteen wagon loads stood in line yes terday afternoon waiting their turn to unload Pickers are industriously at work in all the fields and every body seems more than satisfied with the future prospects. According to Charles w. Warehouse, president of the Tempe Exchange, 400 bales have been already contracted for with the Mesa. Chandler, and Tempe associa- tions, and cash will be advanced on them before long.
 Operations at the local ginnery are moving along smoothly. All of the ten gins have been tuned into shape, and while not yet running at capae- ity, they are doing much better than might be expected of them for the first few days run.
 In the fields pickers are at work from daylight until dark. Growers of the Tempe association have had little difficulty in securing all the necessary labor, for where the local white and Mexican help would not supply the demand, Indians from the Papago reservations have come in. A large bunch of them arrived in Tempe Saturday afternoon and were immediately put to work. Others are expected to arrive the middle of this week.
 That any of the growers of the eX change will suffer for want of cash to pay their pickers is out of doubt. The association has money on hand and wherever necessary it is being loaned to the growers, with their crops as security, to keep them above board and at work until the advance money on the purchased cotton ar Iives. It is understood that the other south side associations are fol lowing this same system.
 What the growers not listed as members of the exchange will do, if short of funds, is another question. It is naturally up to themselves to srustle their own money if in need. It is believed now that growers not in the exchange will receive such a low price for their cotton, that be- fore they plant another years crop they will gladly join the association and help defray the expenses of the organization work and gin construc- tion this year.
