GLENDALE |S
 BEST IF ALL
Bisbee Holticulturist Set ties in Glendale After Looking Over Valley = Lettuce Shipment - Glen dale Items

GLENDALE, April 10.-After spend ing three weeks looking over the entire Salt River Valley for location, Wm. E. Thompson of Bisbee. decided that Glendale is the best place to tie up with, and has just purchased five acre tract in Glendale Heights, upon which he will at once erect a modern residence.
 When one is looking for a perman- ent home there are many items which enter into the proposition and which demand consideration of the careful homeseeker. For instance. there is the soil and it's ability to produce: there is the climate. it's effect upon growing crops and vegetation. as well as upon the health of the people; the water supply. it's volume for irrigation and it's purity for drinking and domestic purposes: the educational and religious advantages; the character and intellect of the people. the business enterprise of the community All these things l have carefully considered" said Mr Thompson, and without hesitation 1 feel free to state that Glendale more nearly measures up to my standard of perfection than any community I have ever visited. That's why I selected your splendid suburb as my future home
 Mir. Thompson is an expert gardner and horticulturist and will follow in tensive farming on his small ranch making it one of the show places of the valley.

$. B. Tatum, director of agriculture at the Glendale high school has made progressive move by giving his ranch name and having some stationery neatly printed. The name adopted is "Yo Tengo'. which interpreted means T have it." The professor does not advocate the policy of placing all the eggs in one basket and starting to an uncertain market over an unknown road and lest an obstacle might be en- countered that would wreck the basket demolishin% it's contents He believes rather that the diversified crop is much the safer and more profitable and IS following that plan out with lettuce potatoes. tomatoes. cotton sugar cane cattle, hogs and poltry In fact he ex- poets to be able to say Yo Tenga to any demands the market may make fol farm products

SCHOOL LAND
 LESSEES WANT
 ID OWN FARMS
Organized Lessees Name Committee to Ask Gov ernor to Get Legislature to Let State Sell Project School Hands

In an effort to get the state to pass laws permitting the sale of school lands a committee of fifteen. named at yesterdays meeting of the school land iessecs of the Salt River project, will call upon Governor Hunt, to petition him to add a supplementary call, in cuding this thing. It marks the end of a long period of consideration on the part of the lcssees, who are organized for the promotion of this, their dearest wish.
 over eleven thousand acres of school lands are now leased and under culti- Vation in the Salt River project. None can buy water and get a settled water right until the land title is clear. and that's impossible until the state legal izes the sale of such lands. School lands that fall into this class were given to the state under the enabling act, which created Arizona the peer of the other states. and it is specified that no sale can be made until a bill authorizing such transaction is passed by the legis- lature.
 The committee is headed by William Whitfield. chairman. It numbers fif- teen men. holders of leases on school lands in all parts of the valley. If their mission to the governor k successful, the chief executive will put in a sup plementary call to the legislature, to consider the bill which was framed by attorneys for the lessees' association last year. and which failed. as did so many other bills. to get consideration during the final stages of the session.
