SpeCifiC Recommendations
HOGS

a. Pork constitutes more than one half of all the meat produced in the United States. Next to the dairy COW hogs return a greater amount of hu- man food in proportion to the amount of feed consumed than any other farm animals. High fecundity makes pos sible the restoration of our hog stocks with great rapidity after periods of liquidation. Pork is the mainstay of the meat ration of the laboring man and of the soldier.
 b. It is therefore Incumbent on the nation to increase in every practicable way the output of hogs from our farms and at the same time conserve in every possible way stocks of grain. Not only should our output of pork be increased from the standpoint of its direct effect on the economies of farm operations. but also on account of the extent to which hog raising on farms enables the farmers to produce a con- siderable quantity of the meat re- quired for home use
 c. The following program is rec commended as the means of achieving the above results and increasing the production of pork and pork products:
 l. Reduce to the minimum amount of grain required in the hogs ration by utilizing pasture and forage crops. In the present emergency pigs should be marketed at a weight not to exceed 200 pounds.
 7. Extend by educational propa- ganda the practice of home curing of pork
 3. Extend to the utmost the organ iZation of pig clubs under the direction of the federal department of agricul- ture and in cooperation with the state agricultural colleges.

which would save as food large quantities of skinned milk which is now wasted.
 b. That purchases of dairy pro- ducts by governmental agencies should be at prices which will fully cover the actual cost of production. Prices lower than these will ten further to discourage the dairy in- dustry.
 c. That q very large increase in the production of milk and milk pro- ducts can be brought about by ct better understanding of selection methods of feeding and of selection of high producing cows We there fore suggest that a strenuous effort te made to increase the number Of cowtesting associations.
 d. That the efforts to prevent the marketing of dairy calves for meat purposes are not well directed. The averaFe dairy farmer finds it neces- sarv to dispose of his calves at the earliest age at which they may be nsed for meat purposes, because, first his entire milk output is needed to supply his customers and is more valuable there than when fed to calves; second. because at the high prices of feedstuffs that have been prevailing it is unprofitable to carry the calves for any length of time Restriction on the sale or slaughter of calves would reduce the milk supply
 Q. That the redistribution of dairy stock can best be promoted through the county agents, and we suggest that a central organization within the Department of Agriculture can best direct such distribution.

Anita Stewart at the Hip

If the Message of the Mouse" IS the last picture Anita Stewart ever makes: if she fails to recover from the illness that now threatens her reason. she will have left to posterity a legacy in the splendid vehicle that gives expression to her genius for the final time The story is timely one of diplomatic in- trigue and plot and counter plot, with the delightful Anita as the girl whose love affair is punctuated with the damnable double dealing of the great diplomats who have planned to in volve this country and who are foiled by a little mouse which comes into Anita's room with a scrap of paper in it's mouth and on that paper lies the tell tale message that frees America from disgrace. Disappearing wall desks, sinking rooms, fast moving plots and action are the charms of this splendid story Tomorrow Chaplin, The Champion and Carlyle Blackwell and June Elvigge come in Youth" a smart story of this day.

William Farnum at the Empress

The large audience which viewed William Farnum's picture at the Elm press last night left with nothing but praise for this wonderful actor. The Man from Bitter Root" is a William Fox production, and mastered under his skillful handling. It is story of the frozen northwest of the sort that nevef fails to attract and please, the story of two pals who are prospectors with the understanding that no matter what was the reward, each should share alike. One of the pals proves to be an honorable man, while the other turns out to be a worthless no-account tramp who waits till his partner gets large quantity of gold dust and then plans to kill him for the gold. The other partner discovers the intention of his pal and beats him to it. killing him in what is said to be one of the greatest fights ever recorded in film. It is one of those pictures that make you sit right up in your seat. There will be a reel of comedy in addition to the above feature.

 According to present arrangements the men will leave the city at o'clock over the Southern Pacific The com mittee is arranging to bring them and the two guests of each to the depot in automobiles and in order that this may be done a call is made upon volunteer owners of automobiles for the service of their machines.
 The committee on arrangements, ap- pointed by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, comprises Dr. John Den nett, Jr, chairman; O. S. Stapley of Mesa, Colonel James McClintock and Roy Goodrich.
 The committee requests that own CTS of automobiles please be at the park in time Wednesday evening to take the boys to the Southern Pacific special train, scheduled to leave here at o'clock.

 '. We thoroughly endorse MT Hoo ver's efforts to prevent reprehensibe speculation in food products of all kinds
 S. The work of the department of agriculture, based upon it's study of marketing conditions, is most valu- uable and we urge it's continuance, to the end that market abuses may be done away with and that all unnec- essary expense between the producer and the consumer be eliminated We feel that it is most necessary that whatever methods are adopted as war measures in connection with the livestock industry should be based on such sound economic principles as to adjust themselves readily after the war to the needs of our steadily growing population, which should be maintained as q meat-eating nation.
 9. We urge upon the food admin istration and the war department the need of conserving both the garbage and manure produced at the various cantonments A wise use of the gar hage for hog feeding will result in the production of some millions of pounds of pork from food which would otherwise go to waste. The distribu- tion of the manure nDon lands near such cantonments will produce addi- tional food values enuivalept to from nl1ra so distributed

The pro gram will be added to as the commit tee progresses with it's plan, the point uppermost being to make the barbecue something really big and glorious in the way of entertainment of the second contingent of AriZona's best young men, who are leaving everything dear to them and taking up arms against a common enemy to America.

BEEF CATTLE

a. That a sufficient emergency appropriation be made by Congress to be used for the prompt selection and withdrawal of livestock trails and watering places, as contemplated under the recently enacted 640-acre Grazing Homestead law.
 b. That an effort should be made by the proper authorities to arrange for the discount by federal reserve bank of livestock paper drawn for as long a period as twelve months.
 C. That the drought conditions in the western range country should be brought to the attention of the Interstate Commerce Commission, with the request that the commission exercise it's authority to put in force a special freight rate on livestock which will permit the moving of such stock from the drought areas to dis tricts where feed may be obtained for time, and its return. A special freight rate, properly safeguarded, would make it possible to conserve large numoers of livestock which may otherwise be sacrificed.
 d. Reliable daily information as to market conditions is most necessary.
 
 Bureau of Markets of the Depart ment of Agriculture at the earliest possible date, arrange to furnish such information by wire to the press and to all markets, and that when such arrangements are completed the sending of unofficial reports to the daily or weekly press or to the public markets be forbidden.
 e. That the cattle industry in the South can be very greatly extended if danger from the cattle tick can be eliminated We recommend that the Department of Agriculture deal with this matter as a war measure.
 f. That a considerable increase in the reef supply can be brought about hv the announcement of Boys Baby Reef clubs. And we suggest that adults be invited to join such clubs as a patriotic way of serving their cOuntry's need
 Dairy
 Resolved. a. That the present unsatisfactory conditions of the dairy industry has been brought about by circumstances of which the dairyman has been the victim and not the creator The advancing price of beef animals has made many inferior dairy cows more valuable for slaugh- ter than for dairy purposes. Milk md dairy products have not advanced In price proportionatelv to the ad- vHrce of other food products. The cost of production has greatly in creased due both tn the increased cost of foodstuffs of all kinds and the advance in the cost of labor. as well as the difficulty of securing com petent he'D even at the advqnced wage. Dairymen all over the United States have been forced to meet these conditions by marketing then less profitable cows. and this has resulted in decrease in the total nroduction of milk in proportion to tho population.
 The necessary advance in the price of milk has caused complaint a~ong consumers who are not informed as to the legitimate causes for such ad- vance. It is desirable that tlere

SFH EEP

a. Owing to not only national but a world shortage of wool and mutton it is immediately necessary that our sheep industry should be encouraged on the western range and the small farms of the country.
 b. The federal department of agri- culture and the state agricultural col legeS and experiment stations should to the greatest extent conSisten with their appropriations, extend their work of education with reference to sheep raising and wool growing, and county agents should make special efforts to guide beginners on safe lines.
 c. The eve from the western ranges which is unable longer to bear range hardships but which will readily re- spond to the more favorable feed and care afforded by the small farm is most valuable for redistribution to the farm.
 d. The western range industry has been greatly reduced by the rapid pass ing of the public domain into the hands of private owners, and there remain practically no lands on the public do- main that are fit for any other use than for the grazing of live stock They should therefore be used for that pur- pose and sold or leased for grazing purposes under such governmental regulations as will develop their car rying capacity for live stock and greatly increase the production of meat and wool. We earnestly request na- tional legislation which will effect this result.
 e. Congress should likewise enact legislation providing for the sale or lease of isolated tracts" of small areas of land, not exceeding GAO acres in one tract, which are surrounded by private entries
 f. The stray and useless dog is the enemy of the sheep. We approve the bill now pending in congress to impose federal tax upon all dogs We rec ommend that all state legislatures should enact laws protective of the sheep grower against dog depredations We suggest that the bureau of the census in it's plans for the fourteenth census provide a schedule of dogs on farms and not on farms
 g. The practice of speculation in large quantities of lambs and woos should be discouraged through every agency available.
 h. Some sections of our country are stocked to their capacity with mother ewes from which lambs are marketed at from seventy to eighty pounds. This is the most economic method of pro- ducing mutton. What we need is more ewes producing the seventy pound lamb. We urge that every eve lamt which promises an economic future should be saved from slaughter.

FORESEES BIG
TOURIST TRADE
FOR TERRITORY

Looking forward to a large tourist
travel to the islands this winter, Fred
j. Halton, newly appointed secretary
of the Hawaii Promotion committee,
arrived in Honolulu this morning to
assume his new duties. He succeeds
A. P. Taylor and was formerly in
charge of the committees San Fran
cisco office.
Mr.. Halton is distinctly optimistic
about future travel to these islands
and points out that there is no reason
to be pessimistic, for, he says, the
number of tourists visiting the islands
this summer was, in the aggregate,
larger than ever before.
Before T left San Francisco we
were receiving communications con-
corning the travel to Honolulu in in
creasing numbers, giving every indi-
cation that more tourists want to come
here. For instance, from Cleveland
We got one order to make reservations
for %" says Mr.. Halton.
The travelling agencies are behind
US in our efforts TO bring more people
here. The Union Pacific, for which
we furnished some pictures, is pub
fishing special booklet on Hawaii.
In April the ourist outlook was
dull and the agencies were pessimis-
tic. But now they are anything but
that. The cessation in travel was.
believe, largely due to the uncertainty
Of the draft. The women wanted to
stay home until the results we're an.
nounced, and they are always the
ones through which traseling in a

That there will be ample steamship
facilities to accommodate whatever
travel Hawaii gets in spite of the
fact that the Great Northern has been
taken over by the government and
agencies are expecting that the Mat
son boats will likewise be comman-
deered sometime in the future, is the
belief Of Mr.. Halton He points out
