An Arizona Exhibit at the Soil
Products Exposition

Getting together with an all
Arizona exhibit the State will be
we'll represented at the Interna-
tional Soil-Products Exposition at
Peoria, Illinois, in September.
The last Legislature endorsed
the project for a suitable exhibit of
agricultural products. The mate
rial, which includes practically
everything that can be grown in
the state, is now being assembled
at Phoenix for shipment. Grains
and grain sorghums of all kinds,
potatoes, cotton. fruits, vegetables,
hay, seeds, plants, in fact every
item that can be produced from the
soil is entitled to entry and to COM
pete for the individual prizes.
It is the aim of those in charge
of the exhibit to have as many in
dividual exhibits as it is possible
to gather, and for each individual
exhibit to have a duplicate in the
Arizona State exhibit. The SAM
pies of each article required need
not be large, but the best that is
grown should be secured and sent
to Phoenix to be included in the
display, Competition is keen. Ex-
hibits come from all over the coun-
try, and from Canada and foreign
countries.
There is no charge to the indi-
vidual for entering his exhibit: 1t
is only required that all exhibits
reach the Chamber of Commerce
express or freight prepaid, and ac-
companied by complete descrip-
ton of the article and the name and
address of the grower or exhibitor.
Arizona has been very successful
at all of these exhibitions. Arizona
won the state prize at Wichita a
few years ago. Many prizes were
won at Denver, Tulsa, Edmonton,
Canada, and at FL Paso.
With the right kind of help the
state should make record again
this year. Address all exhibits and
correspondence to Commissioner,
Arizona Exhibit, care Chamber of
Commerce, Phoenix, Ariz. Help
now and all will benefit.

Owing to certain technical
tiles the bond issue that was
proposed to be held in Octo-
Der will now be delayed un-
til early in December. This
IS an exceedingly better
month for the election and
also puts the bonds on the
market at an opportune time.
January is an awful good time
TO sell bonds as it is the time
when all concerns have sent
out their annual and semi
annual dividends and the
market is at its best. There
will be big dividends by the
steel. iron and munitions
works in the east. and they
are flends for road bond in
vestments. .-Prospector.

Milton A. Allen. mineral

Milton A. Allen, mineral
technologist of the Arizona
State Bureau of Mines, has
started with a very consider
able clerical force compiling
the mineral occurrences of
the State of Arizona for War
purposes. This work not
only includes the compilation
of the present day workable
resources, but also the future
possibilities, particular refer
ence being paid to the miner
ais desired for government
use. This is the first work
of the kind ever attempted in
the state and will extend over
a period OF several months.
Mr.. Allen will be pleased to
hear of all records of mineral
occurrences of any kind,
whether or not they are COM
mereially valuable at the
present time, and is particu-
IarIy anxious to learn of the
location of deposits or posi-
bic deposits of the rare min
erals.

Fresh Water Fish for Home
Consumption

In an interview published IN the
Bisbee Review Game Warden Pow
ell Cosby says:
Fresh water fish may SOON be-
come more popular than meat in
Cochise county, according to NJ. P.
Cosby, district state game warden,
whose field work covers Cochise,
Pima and Santa Cruz counties. Mr..
Cosby, who was in the city yester-
day from his home in Benson, de-
clared that Joe V. Prochaska, state
game warden, is gathering data on
all ponds. streams and reservoirs
in this part of the state preparatory
to stocking them with, fish. Mr..
Cosby recently spent several days
in the vicinity of St. David and
said there are 100 ponds there in
which fresh water fish thrive.
| "One farmer told me he had
been offered rs cents pound for
all the fish in one of his ponds"
said he. Mr.. Prochaska is con-
sidering stocking many ponds with
fish in this part of the state. / be-
lieve that within short time the
fishing industry could be put on a
commercial basis and large quaint
ties shipped to Douglas, Bisbee and
other cities Cosby declared that
it was his intention to spend all of
his time covering the three coun-
ties assigned to him, endeavoring
to assist the people in protecting
the game of the state instead of
devoting all of his time to attempts
to catch violators of the game
laws.
Il believe that if the people un-
|
derstood more thoroughly just what
is aimed at by the laws, there would
be fewer violations of them. I in
tend to do all I can to make hun
ters understand that the laws were
made for their own protection, as
we'll as the protection of the game,
But there is one thing / will always
be on the lookout for-the man
who is hunting without license.
Any one who can afford to go
hunting, I believe, can afford to
buy license" said Mr.. Cosby.

immediate relief from the
car shortage is in sight for the
farmers of the West, accord
ing to an announcement by
President VIM. Sproule of the
Southern Pacific and head of
the Western Department of
Railroads War Board. To ia
cilitate the prompt movement
of grain and food products as
well as lumber and munitions
the car service commission of
the Railroads War Board has
ordered the immediate dis
tribution of over 10000 ad-
ditional empty cars operating
in the south, west and south
west. This makes a total of
1O6,O33 empty cars that have
been ordered moved from one
railroad to another regardless
of ownership in order to han
die the traffic that war con-
ditions have produced.

"ARM THE FARMER"
That Is the Plea of the Inn
plement Maker
WITHOUT TOOLS OF PRODUCTION
THE FOOD SUPPLY MUST FAIL
TO MEET DEMANDS


TO MEET DEMANDS
Unless the farmer can have their
tools the country cannot have its
food. That is what is worrying
fhe farm operating equipment in
dustry.
Steps have been taken by the
National Implement and Vehicle
Association to gain government aid
III heading off the danger. The
Council of National Defense and
others in authority at Washington,
however, are so busy with the prob
lems of training and munitioning
troops that they are overlooking
the needs of the farmer.
When Russia first entered the
war the officials at once set every
large factory to work making mu-
nitions. This 1kase that went out
from Petrograd affected all the
plants making farm machinery.
They had to drop that and get into
the feverish production of war
goods. "
But it wasn't long until the Rus
sian government realized its mis-
take. Although in desperate need
of all sorts of military supplies, 1t
began to see that no national pro-
gr9ss could be made without i'm
proved farm machinery.
AS soon as the toole of the farm
ers began to wear out and they
could buy nothing new to replace
them, the country felt that empty
feeling in the region of the sto-
mach. So orders were issued to set
the farm machinery plants back to
making farm machinery again
They have been at it ever since.
1t is this blunder that the farm
operating equipment industry of
America fears may be repeated On
vastly enlarged scale in this coun-
try. Even before the United States
entered the war, steel was SO high
and hard to get that the implement
factories were desperate. Now that
America is one of the Allies, the
situation, from the viewpoint of the
farm implement makers, is any
thing but improved.
Farmers throughout the country
are beginning to see that their sup
ply of tools is threatened. They
fail to understand how they can
respond to the cry of greater crop
production without implements,
eve1i if the do have to pay more for
them, just as the miller pays more
for his wheat, They are perfectly
willing to help win the war, as
they have been been besought to
do from so many quarters, but they
must have tools. 1t is the particu-
lar mission of the implement max
ers to arm the farmer"
