YUMA VALLEY FARMERS ANSWER DR. MEAD
 ABOUT 300 REPLIES RECEIVED.

When Dr. Mead was here in Yuma some weeks ago he and Project Manager Schecht got up circular letter which subsequently, to all farmers in Yuma Valley asking them what in their opnion the government should do to encourage the planting of more land fOodStuff Answers from about 300 farmers in the valley have been received by the project manager up date with struggling replies ing in every day
 With almost voice the farmers assure Uncle Sam that they willing and anxious increase their present acreage but-wel that's the rub Practically all of them will clear every of land they own if they get cheap money. They the government that they will do their full share unsefshy if they be loaned the money reasonable rate to do the clearing leveng and planting It is conceded that average of some thing like $50 per clear and level valley land Some of it high 800 Some of the farmers would even be willing to jump right in and clear the bal of their land if the government will defer the formal opening of the project until 1920 But these the who hold excess holdings Under the public notice here toore printed these columns these notified that after the end of this year they will be furnished for excess holdings It would therefore be losing proposition for them clear land this late in the with the knowledge that it will be CaSSed excess holdings after December 31 1917 The crop they might ase this fall would hardly pay for the clearing But if they had the formal opening set for 1920 practically all of them agree they will at begin clearing leveng and planting provided they make arrangements with the for funds with which to do the necessary work

 In their answers some of the defendants assert that when the forest reservations created understand ing and agreement had between the defendants or hr predecessors and unmentoned officers agents of the United States the effect that the reservations would be obstacle to the construction operation o the works in question: that all rights essential thereto would be allowed and granted under the of 1905; that

OUR CREDIT AND
 OUR A R M Y

We must realize the Gov ernment's credit is vital to the success of the war; that it un- derlies every activity. It is a sacred duty of every citizen, and it should be regarded as a privilege by every patriotic cit izen to uphold the Govern ment's credit with the same kind of self-sacrifice and no- bility of soul that our gallant sons exhibit when they die for us on the battlefields of Eu- rope. It is as imperative to sustain the Governments cred 1t as 1t is to sustain our armies, because OUT armies cannot be sustained unless the Govern ment's credit is always above reproach.

Believing that it was poor business
ethics and would set bad precedent,
the board Of retail trades of the
Chamber OF Commerce at special
meeting this morning turned down q
proposition presented by Fraser, rep
resenting the Efier Music Company.
The scheme as outlined by Fraser
was for certain retail stores to issue
coupons on purchases, each cent paid
emitting the purchaser to one vote.
and the five persons receiving the
most votes would win premiums. the
first of which would be player piano
put out by the Eiler Company. Fraser
guaranteed that this scheme would
increase the business Of the store en-.
tering the contest Is per cent and he
offered to file bonds to that amount
as an insurance.
The members of the committee,
however, opposed the proposition on
all grounds, particularly as they were
against al enterprises In which cou-
pons played q part. 1t was also voted
that both the Chinese and Japanese
associations be informed of the deci-
sion.
