Great interest is being manifested by ranchers over the entire sections in- cluded in the Tempe, Chandler. Gilbert, Mesa and other communities. Many are phonihg in for more particular de tails. There will be 15 people, all of whom are experts, who will have part on the program, besides the informal discussions which doubtless will be of great value in getting at the heart of the problems under discussion.
