COTTONWOOD, July 2&-ln an effort to force the Clarkdale smeltins plant of the United Verde Mining company to install a smoke consumer the farmers and stockmen Of the Verde valley met at the local school house last night and organized the Verde Valley Farmers and StocNmen's Protective Association The asso- citation is to be run by five Trustees, who are empowered by the members to leave no stone unturned to stop what they allege is not only nuis- ance but a local peril.
 Fer some time past the farmers in the vicinity of Clarkdale and Cot tonwood have complained that the sulphur fumes from the shelter were injaring their stuff, but as the dam age was not marked, little attention was paid to it. Recently. however, the smoke is said to have drifted down the valley when vegetation was damp and caused considerable dam age. Fruit and ornamental trees in the Cottonwood district look scared as if a fire had touched many of them, while after an eruption of the hand made VesuVius (the loca1 name of the smokestack at Clarkdale) al- falfa and other vegetation in the vi cinity presents the apearance of hay | ing been frost bitten.
