COOPERATION GETS
 FINE ROADS IN STATE
Phoenix, Ariz., June 24.

Results with a big R is the record of the Good Roads meeting at Tucson The seven counties represented are richer for the knowledge and friend ships gained at the conference. The state is the gainer by the vigorous resolutions and action which marked the progress of the session.
 1 That the state should appropriate not less than four hundred thousand dollars for roads each year was the sense of the meeting as expressed in one very vigorous resolution. Another called upon the federal government to fulfill it's duty in the construction of roads across military and Indian reser 1 vations. The creation of a woman's s auxiliary to the association was order i ed Give us more maps of roads and more signs on the roads, were the in structions to the committee on these important subjects. At least two meet i ings a year were ordered one meeting to be held about the time of the hold ing of the annual tax conference and at the same place.
 | The people of Pima county came out with a strong endorsement of the work of the association and it's aims and objects, and delegates from Bisbee Douglas, Florence, Nogales, Yuma and other places put in strong bids for the 1 next convention. Already the officials of the association are busy planning , for the next meeting and the carrying out the instructions of the conference The lectures given during the meeting l at Tucson were of great benefit. The value of good roads, with the advan, l tages of different types of roads, were all presented and discussed in detail.
 There are nineteen local organiza tions of the state association and with in the next few months many mOre will be formed.
 Cooperation was the keynote that carried the last meeting to such sue cessful conclusion. Cooperation be tween counties; between counties and the state; between the state and other states; between commercial organiza tiOns and county and other officials Arizona is no longer a state made uI of a number of individual communities it is one united community; one sec ton is linked with the next in the ties of friendship, county united with cOun ty in bonds of mutual effort and enter prise, joined with good roads which each city and county is endeavOrine | by every means to make still better so that the result will be one great l big, better, buster and more beauti ful state of Arizona.
 The opening of the big bridge across the Colorado river at Yuma marks an other step in the bringing together ot the East and the West.
 Bond issues are under, consideration or ready to be voted upon in a majority 1 of the counties in the state. Soon ev. cry county will have done its share

 General Features
 Irrigation is succeeding in accom- 1 plishing what could hardly have beer done by other means-establish compact settlements in lower rainfall districts. It is peopleing areas whicl have maintained at least for many years, only about five persons to the square mile. It is enabling the mos intensive form of closer settlement! to be systematically developed on z scale equal to what could be done il the most fertile southern districts. | has made such headway that already there is evidence that the size of { block favored eight years ago is too large. The men with areas of under ! sixty acres, are as rule, doing better and more hopeful work than those witt areas over sixty acres.
 "The most encouraging development in six or seven years trial have beer made during the last twelve months The State appointed practical advisers to the irragationists in each district and has pursued an active crusade to induce each settler to increase the area sown to high-priced crops.
 If late years growths are maintain ed, scores of settlers should be anC many now are on paying basises within six months and the prospects of tht movement should undergo a complete transformation before Christmas Day of 1915. On hundreds of blocks (w. call them in the United States farm units) there is now a useful balance of forage crops, such as lucerne, maize millet, grasses and clovers, sorghum and perhaps, rape and peas. Statistic! compiled some months ago show tha at Shepparton upwards of some thous and acres CT more are planted to frui i trees, and over two thousand acre! seeded in lucerne. At Bamawn severa hundred acres are under orchards ant over six thousand acres under lucerne where in each case three of four year. ego there was not an acre of either.
 "The tendency to spend the frs capital in unremunerating improve ments is disappearing.
 "The newcomers are receiving better guidance.
 "The administration has been tight ened up so that the Commission car now intimately follow the progress o each irrigationist.

sincerely regretted. Some of those who have been eliminated might have succeeded if they had had in the neigh borhood men of experience to actively guide them. Their lot is the 'saddest of all Observations made at the very youngest settlement seemed to show that in the future fewer mistakes will be made by the settler and the state, and the progress will be infinitely more rapid than in the pioneer suD- divisions.
 "A most gratifying work has been done at Shepparton within the past two years. And the standard of the settlers now found in each district is so high that the state may congratu- late itself upon attracting men who are comparable in type to the best of sixty or seventy years ago.
 AdaptabiIity
 "A tour of the irrigation districts induces interesting information.
 "The settlers are generally of a de- sirable type, and where effective culti- vation has been done the land is re- spending encouragingly. In a recent inspection of Shepparton, Tongala, Kyabram, Koyuga Bamawm, Nanneel- la, Cohuna, Swan Hill, and Marbein, it was possible, from the developments already made to make deductions re- garding the special adaptability of each district for particular produc- tion. Thus Shepparton appears to be better suited for fruit than for lucerne. Tantongala and Kyabram also respond lucerne, but this and other forages should do well when the land is more literally supplied with organic matter Koyuga offers bigger opportunity for lucerne. Nanneella is the best adapt ed for fruit and mixed crops, and Ba- mawm for lucerne and other forages Cohuna and Swan Hill are richest in humus, and have all round qualifica- tions Merbein is essentially a fruit growing proposition. Fortunately, all of the districts can be used for the missed system, for fruit vegetables and forage.
 Railways and Land Values
 Distance from a railroad is a con- sideratiOn. Here Cohuna and Ba- mawm are the worst served At Ba- mawm a few settlers are fourteen miles from a railroad station; but a line is being built from Cohuna to FL more that will relieve both settlements. The most distant settler from a rail- road at Swan Hill is about six miles, at Hoyuga five, at Tongala five, at Nanneela nine, and at SheppartOn six. At Kyabram and Merbein lines run through the settlements Thus, with the exception of Cohuna and Bamawn there is already a reasonable outlet. A water channel properly used is evi- dently a more influential factor than a railway in raising land values Since the present movement began there has been a marked upward tendency. In the Bamawn Irrigation District a pri- vately owned wheat farm has been
