I on my part. am prepared to do my full share, and The Republican will carry on q vigorous campaign of publicity On this important subject, and I am sure that the business interests of Phoenix and the farmers of the Salt River valley, once they realize the .ast importance of this question, will be more than willing to do their full share of work in solving what is the really vital problem of the Salt River valley today-how to make our lands pay a better net revenue per acre. Other communities have solved this question without nearly the natural advantages that we have. and this community can do the same thing but it needs good hard. clear headed work. lots of it, carried on in spirit of complete frankness and cooperation"

representative and some man of thor ough experience in successful crop marketing under the California sys- tenn chosen by the people of the community. The man selected by the people of the Salt River valley for such an investigation should be of trained ability, on the job all the time and paid a good salary. The cooperation of such a man with the representative of the government would, I believe, pave the way for tremendous improvement in our marketing conditions, which would result in a steady increase in the net revenue on every acre of land in the Salt River valley, an elimination of much of the waste which now oc- CUTS, and better still. an increased spirit of cooperation among all our people.
 ''roo many men in this valley are merely making a living. The way is open, in my judgment, through the methods suggested, for them to make good profit. This can only

ing out a definite constructive plan for a betterment of marketing condi- tions.
 The success in marketing achieved by the California communities has rot been accomplished in one or two years, but is the result of many years of experiments including some failures. until today the producers of California have been able to prove by successful results the immense value of this method of scientific CO., operative marketing, and they now largely handle their dairy products their poultry and eggs, their fresh and dried fruit, their raisins, their berries and small fruits and nearly every other article of produce includ- ing supplies of canned fruit, on a scientific cooperative plan. Markets are thoroughly studied, glutting of a particular market is avoided, thor ough grading of quality is practiced and through cooperation these Cali fornid producers are generally in a position to supply a given quantity
Arizona republican., 1915-09-15

of product of special quality at a specific time, and it is this ability that is spelling success.
 We in this community have greater natural and climatic advantages than most of the sections referred to, and when we succeed in working out this problem, as we can and will, there should be almost no limit to our prosperity.
 Fortunately the United States government, realizing the tremen- dously vital need of improving mar keting conditions and bettering the condition of the agricultural pro- ducer. has established a bureau of markets which Is prepared. on the request of any community to make thorough and scientific investiga- ton of the needs of that particular community. In my judgment what the Salt River valley needs is thorough and scientific survey of the marketing situation. This survey should be made, I believe. through the cooperation of the government

NEED OF THIS VALLEY

ests of the business man and the community at large, are that the farmer should be making steadily in creased profits in addition to a mere living.
 Fortunately organized efforts have already begun in the Salt River Val ley through the United Produce Growers association, the recently or ganizsd Dairymens' association. and other cooperative marketing institu- tions. to remedy conditions, but in my judgment these efforts are but a starter and I believe that during the coming year the Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants and Manufacturers Association could do nothing better than to spend a large portion of its effort and a liberal share of the money raised. in work

TIE GEM.

THE GEM.
What is it? Hidden in the earth
Through unknown centuries it slept,
And still the secret of its birth
In the unfathomed past is kept.
A toy to please pagan's eyes,
A gaud to deck diadem-
Deep In It's heart forever lies
The glow which makes OF 1t gem.
Mayhap a thousand thousand years
Are echoed in the light 1t gives
The subtle light which shifts, and
veers,
And turks, and leaps. and laughs.
and lives;
But whence came its immortal fire
That neither burns, nor sears, nor
chars
Caught from the sunsets funeral pyre
And from the dream light OF the
stars?
It is enough to know that here
In this small space are caught and
pent
The summer suns Of year on year,
With all the fairest colors blent.
The charm of roses in the dew,
The>glint OF distant hills Of green,
And outspread silent skies of blue
Are in this time-old jewel seen.
I like to think that every smile
And every Kindly word and song
Are treasured for some far off while.
Blent with a purpose sweet and
J strong
Until deep in the centuries
Mankind still has the joy of them
AS now some age forgotten frees
It's radiant sunlight In this gem.
