 With the election of officers, and the preparations for drafting a con- stitution, the advisory council of the Maricopa County Farm Improvement Association became an organization yesterday. Delegates representing every important sub- division of the county, and all the live farm and business organizations, met for lunch con at the chamber of commerce at noon, and started four hour ses- sion that resulted in the first de- finite work, for the promotion of a general welfare society here.
 Following the receipt of reports from several of the branches of the Farm Improvement Association, there were speeches on live topics by mem bers of the council.
 Dwight B. Heard spoke of his in vestigations into cooperative market ing in California this summer. and haf hot l,a greatest need of the Salt River Val ley is more cooperation between the farmers and businessmen. No per manent prosperity can come to the valley or to any of it's people, until farming conditions are put on more solid business basis"
 Tn this day and age, farming has become a business, needing just as much expert attention as any other line of industry. Provisions are made for increasing the size and quality of crops but disposing of them at advantageous prices is the big problem that is now being solved. Here, more than in many places. the marketing problem is all-important. Californias methods of selling must be adopted. or revised and then adopted, before the proper outlet for valley products can be found.
 A general discussion followed MT. Heard's speech, in which he advo- cated the formation of a committee to consult with similar committees of the United Produce Growers As sociation. Merchants and ManufaC- turers Association and the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. Short speech es were made by Messrs Kuchler, Green Wingar, Aepli and Morse.
 A motion was then entered by Dr. J. C. Norton, creating the commit tee, which was filled as follows:
 Bert Wingar, Mesa.
 Lafe Myers, Glendale.
 c. c. Green. Glendale.
 Prof. Stanley F. Morse of the Uni- versity of Arizona then explained the need of raising more funds to sup port the office of farm advisor. This matter was referred to the committee on rural affairs of the chamber of commerce, which is now engaged in drafting a detailed report of the years work of the farm advisor. Based on this report an appeal wilt be made to the Water Users Asso- cic tion to appropriate funds for this purpose.
