FRUIT EXPERTS ARE
 VISITING PHOENIX
Perham and Mccullough, Leaders in Standardization May Give Ideas
 to Local Merchandisers

As all produce men know, the North Pacific Fruit Distributors" is one of the worlds largest fruit dis largely due to the efforts of two men. D. A. Perham and c. w. McCullagh of Spokane and North Yakima, who some years ago foresaw the need of such an organization. Today this in- stitutiCn embraces in it's producers S department practically all of the ap- pie and fruit growers associations of Nevada, Oregon. Washington and Montana. and in it's distributing de- partment, practically covers the world.
 MT. Perham and MT. McCullagh are to be in Phoenix today, the guest of John F. Barker of the Barker Produce company, who for several seasons has handled the famous Big Y" apples in Arizona, placing many cars of this fruit.
 Travelling with MT. Perham and MT. McCullagh in this section of the coun- try. is Y. B. Rivers and River Broth CTS of Los Angeles. the large whole sale produce dealers.
 The North Pacific fruit distributors have solved many of the problems of standardization of product and the development of markets. such as con- front the Salt River valley, and plans are being made for having the visitors meet today, with the representatives of the local commercial and produce associations.

Preparation for Cow Test ing In This District; Arm strong Tells Some of Rea- sons Why Dairy Stock Needs Attention
BY JAMES A. ARMSTRONG County Farm Advisory

The Fowler Cow Testing association now has 333 cows subscribed which will keep the tester busy for IS days out of the 26 working days in the month. During the last two or three weeks many incidents have occurred which emphasize the absolute neces- sity of this as well as many other such associations in the Salt River valley. I have just attended an auc- tion sale of milk cows and young stock where black and white cows of any age and size sold for $100 to $147 some of them having only two teats. These were bought readily, without any statement as to their producing ability.
 Can dairying ever expect to reach it's highest efficiency as long as the nonprcducers are not located?
 A COW is worth no more than what she will return in interest on invest ment, above labor and feed consumed.
 The work of a COW testing assOcia- tion will determine the value of in- dividual cows Some men when asked to join the association answer like this It's fine move. It's the best thing that can possibly be done. but don't want to go into it, for one reason and another"
 The breeders of pure breds says it is for the grade cows and the dairy man with grade cows says it is for the pure breds, but the fact is it is for everyone that has money tied up in the dairy business.
 The interest on a $125 COW is over dollar a month the pasture is $1.50 to which is added losses in cows and young stock amounting to another 50 cents add to this the cost of milking and if the returns are less for butter fat or milk than her up keep, she is a very undesirable factor to have around.
 The only way to tell what your cows are doing for a year is to weigh and test each cows products for a year. That is the purpose of the as- sociation, and wise dairymen are availing themselves of this opportun- ity. There is another advantage; once each month you can have the COW tester test the cream, so that it can be compared with the creamery re- port of the same day.

BODIES
 ID MEET AT MES|

Upon the invitation of the Mesa Commercial club, the various commer- cial organizations of the valley will gather at Mesa on the evening of April Il for supper and discussion of the subject to be considered on that oc- casion. The purpose of this meeting is to see if there may be any way in which the commercial bodies cooper ating with the farmers of the valley may aid in the Tightening of the bur- dens of the members of the Water Users association and the making of that organization a means by which atively finance their undertakings There will be discussions on the mar keting problems and the various other difficulties in the way of the farmer getting full value of his investment and labor At the meeting of the county immigration committee, com posed of members of the Commercial clubs of the valley held at Phoenix yesterday the farmers problems were discussed at length. That committee realizes that before this valley shall be developed to it's utmost it will be necessary for the farmers and the com mercial organizations to pull together in the effort at developing fair profit for the farmers labor. From eXpe- rience, the secretaries of the clubs know that it is very hard to locate settlers when the ranchers living here are in any way discouraged: hence it was decided that the machinery of the clubs should be used in an effort to aid in this matter. It was explicitly stated that there would be no attempt to become officious and intrusive in the business affairs of the Water Users association, either as an assO- citation or as individual farmers, but rather to cooperate in every way pos- sible in making the acreage of this val ley bring it's rightful returns to owners and tenants.
 Special invitation will be extended to the various commercial bodies over the county and to the farmers of the val ley. The meeting will start with din- ner, with plates at 35 cents each, fol-

lowed by program of talks. The more definite arrangements will be given out later. It is very earnestly hoped that this initial step may lead to more thorough understanding be- tween all the interests of the valley, for while those interests may be va ried, it is a fact which cannot be con- troverted that as the farmer prospers and is happy and enthusiastic in his vocation, so also will there be a more general prosperity among all the peo- pie and a greater ease in the work of inducing others to settle in what hap pens to be a specimen of just how glorious a place Madame Nature can produce when she spreads herself, viz, the Salt River valley.

TWO STEEP MOUNTAINS
YIELD TO AUTOMOBILES
Chalmers $50 Cars Succeed in
Climbing Ensign Peak and
Mount Diablo.

Two famous mountain peaks in the
far west have just been conquered by
motor cars. They are Ensign peak, in
Utah. and Mount Diablo. near Oakland,
Cal.
Ensign peake is known ito every
tourist who visits Salt Lake City as the
mountain which rises steepIy from the
eastern limits of the city. Its summit
is plainly visible from every quarter
never before been traversed by a motor
car.
Fred Junk piloted Chalmers $50
car on its hazardous journey. Starting
at am. the car reached the fiagpole on
the summit at 1910, after battle with
steep grades that has probably never
been equaled in a test of this kind.
approximately third of the way up
the mountain is termed the saddle"
At this point is a narrow rock ridge
running along for about fifty feet. The
ridge is not wide enough to permit a
car to straddle it, so the Chalmers hit
it sideways after manner of racing in
placed over the ridge prevented the
car from falling down the steep noun
tain side.
In climbing Mount Diablo. near Oak
land, J. Hirsch, with an Oakland news
paper man as observer, made the run
of 1923 miles to the summit on high
gear, in Chalmers $50 car. The
mountain has a rise of 5000 feet above
the sea level and has reputation for
boiling" the water in the radiator or
all cars trying the trip. Before start
ing the climb, Hirsch filled and sealed
the cars radiator. The trip duplicated
the feat of climbing Mount Hamilton
made a month ago.

to serious business proposition.
Resta has won every big event in the
