THE DIST DIVISION

The DIST division has won high
honors by it's record in France. This
division was made up of boys from
Washington and other northwestern
states. 1t played a conspicuous part
in the battles during the last few
weeks of the war and demonstrated
that as fighting machine it was the
superior of the best veteran troops
Of the German army. In the face of
stubborn resistance, it day after day
steadily forced back the enemy from
strong natural positions which had
been rendered almost impregnable
by deliberately planned and carefully
constructed Notifications. It's losses
were heavy, its hardships were ter
rifle, but with undaunted courage
and logged persistence it forced its
way forward foot by foot, through
dense forests, over streams and
ridges, in the face of constant hell
of artillery and machine gun fire.
This division won the admiration
of the officers and soldiers of the al
lied armies by its wonderful display
of undaunted courage, splendid dis
cipline and high morale; it aroused
the pride and gratitude of the people
of the entire Northwest by its record
of heroic self-sacrifiee; but its great
est achievement was the conclusive
demonstration which it gave of the
fallacy of the doctrine that universal
military training is essential for the
creation of an efficient fighting
army.
The 91st division was made up OF
men summoned from the peaceful
walks of life, from the farms, the fac
tories, the stores, the schools and coll
leges. They assembled at Camp
Lewis in the fall of 1917 Compare
lively few of them had ever had any
previous instruction or drill in mill
tary tactics. They were just aver
age American young men, but with

FOOD CONDITIONS

The need for food conservation
and the elimination of all waste by
the American people was never so
great as at the present time.
Last year the Food Administra-
lions requests were very largely for
the substitution of one food for an
other. This year actual saving is re-
quired on all foods. Before the war,
with normal reserves and normal
conditions prevailing, with plenty of
agricultural labor, our exports to the
allied countries averaged 1888, 900
tons of food per year. Last year we
were able to export to them 1890
900 tons, and this year we have as
sumed the burden of sending them a
minimum of 17,500,000 tons.
Unfortunately, the common belief
throughout the country seems to be
that the 1918 crop was phenome-
nally large one, and that in conse
quence there exists in this country
great plentitude of food, and the
time for saving has therefore been
passed. This rather universal belief
can be understood when it is remem-
bered that last year, wheat received
the greatest emphasis in the pleas for
food saving, so that quite naturally
public attention generally centered
around the condition of the then
forthcoming wheat crop.
When the harvest time was
reached and the crop assured, show
ing an increase of more than $780,
100000 bushels, conditions of other
crops indicated that they also would
show phenomenal increases. Then
followed adverse weather conditions
that cut down production in other
crops, but the opinion accepted at
that time by the country at large,
that plentitude was to prevail has not
been changed.
Actual production conditions, as
shown by the figures of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for October 1,
show that the 1918 crops as COM
pared with that of 1917 is as fol-
lows:

FARMERS MUST MOBILIZE

Now that the work of demobiliZing
the armies OF the world has begun
the work of mobilizing the industrial
and business forces for the after-the-
feverishly by far-sighted leaders, who
recognize the Importance of quick
and decisive action in securing de-
sired benefits Capital is modifying
and organizing, labor is modifying
and organizing, business is mObiliZ-
ing and organizing. What are the
farmers doing?
Far too many of them are doing
nothing but plodding along in the
same old rut without making any eff
fort to mobilize their forces or to Or
ganize to protect their interests in
the inevitable reimbursement of cOndi-
tons which is at hand. They have
failed to grasp the lesson taught by
the war, that organization and uni
fled action are absolutely essential
to success. AS long as the French,
English, Italian, Belgian and Serbian
armies fought as separate entities,
each controlled by its own command
err they could make little Roadway
against the central powers. But
when they were organized into one
great machine, with the control vest
ed in one supreme commander, who
could coordinate their efforts, they
began to attain results. So the farm
ers acting as individuals or through
several separate organizations can
make little Roadway in securing re-
cognition and fair treatment. But
let them once unite their strength in
one organization and ell follow the
Plan of campaign mapped out by the
CHOSEN leaders of that organization
and their Just demands will be quick
iy heard and readily enforced.
The Farmers Educational and Co
Operative Union of America affords
all the machinery necessary for the
quick mobilization of the soil tillers
OF the nation. 1t has already skele-
Ton organization in every section Of
II country All that 1t needs Is in
creased membership and more 10y

give it the power necessary to eff

The apparent loss, however, is
counter-balanced by the fact that the
nutritional value OF the corn this
year will be very much higher than
that of last, and there will be less
spoilage. Also a portion of last
years crop, in the form largely OF
an increased number OF hogs remain
ing on the farms adds to our re-
sources. 1t seems fair, therefore, to
assume that our actual food re-
sources in DEMONSTRATING value, are
about the same as those of last year.
The increase of SO per cent in ex-
ports to the allied nations to which
we have pledged ourselves is mini
mum. 1t is based upon the lowest
measurement of necessities for those
countries. If peace should come,
this would probably have to be ma
terially increased. Any change In
food conditions that can possibly oc-
cur will, therefore, add to our obi
cations with no possibility OF sub
straction, as there would be $780,

agricultural industry. The sound
ness of its foundation, the wisdom of
its methods and the business of it's
aims have been proven by years of
trial. 1t has time and again demon
strated that big things can be accom-
plished through organized effort by
even a comparatively small number
OF the farmers.
The duty of the hour for every
farmer in the Pacific Northwest is to
promptly align himself with the
Farmers Union and to cheerfully and
loyalty support it's policies and
chosen leaders. He will soon have
to buy everything he needs from
manufacturers organized to secure
the highest possible price for their
goods, and to sell everything he
raises to men organized to pay the
lowest possible price for farm pro-
ducts. He will have to deal with or
gained capital organized labor and
organized politics, and unless he has
an organization of his own to protect
his interests he is going to get the
worst of it from every side Unless
the farmers mobilize they will be
helpless. When individuals clash
with organizations, the individual is
sure to suffer

One grower near Casa Grande has an

PREPARES FOR
COTTON SEASON

The Casa Grande valley is forging
70 the front as an agricultural district
The improved methods of pumping
water for the purpose Of irrigation
should make it possible to reclaim the
Casa Grandc valley and produce
fine grade Of long staple cotton, clean
fields Of alfalfa, equal in quality to the.
best TO be found in amy country, and
yields of grain Of all kinds
In addition to the improved methods
of pumping water for irrigation, parts
Of the valley are also irrigated from
the waters of the ella river.
1t is no longer considered an expert
nent to farm under pump irrigation
This is fully demonstrated to not only
he successful, but profitable, by the
Goodyear Tire x Rubber company,
which is now farming thousands of
acres in the salt River valley under

The University of Tucson is farming
under the pump irrigation plan, as is
also the government school at SAGA

Whep installed, will be one of the big
gcst pumping plants in the Casa
Grande valley. 1t will have a capacity
of raising water Of from 1000 to 200O
gallons per minute.
The Casa Grande valley covers an
area Of about 1000 square miles, Of
which approximately 400, 900 acres are
irrigable lands, Lying in the semi
arid southwest as it does, the Casa
Grande valley is far-famed for it's

is 1,400 feet above sea level. The air
is dry and invigorating The winter
is delightful, balmy sunshiny days
followed by cool nights and makes the
valley one much sought The valley
is sheltered on all sides by mountain
ranges and is practically free from
high winds. The average yearly rain
fall is about . inches and it is distrib-
uted throughout both winter and sum-
mer seasons.
Cotton Land Wanted
Fruits Of practically every character
are being raised in Casa Grande valley.
At this particular time a great deal of
attention is given land in the valley
for cotton culture. Cotton of the
Egyptian long staple variety has been
grown eXperimentally for about eight
years at the government experimental

by excessive rainfall, they are virgin
and very fertile.
The surface of the valley has been
formed in part by erosion from the
surrounding mountains and part by
silt deposited by the ella and Santa
Cruz rivers, and is practically level,
having just enough slope to make irri-
CATION easy.
The main line of the Southern Pacific
railway passes through the valley. a
little TO the west of its center.
Next to cotton, alfalfa is one of the
leading crops of Casa Grande valley
1t yields from five to eight cuttings
from March to November, and because
of the mildness of the climate, may be
pastured almost continuously through
out the winter.
Under these conditions 500 pounds of
alfalfa seed have been raised on an

station which is operated in conjunc-
ton with the Pima Indian School at
Sacaton. Arizona, in the northern part
of Casa Grande valley. The director
of this station claims that this part of
Arizona grows the finest Egyptian
cotton OF any country in the world,
the staple being three times as long
as that OF ordinary cotton, and the sell
ing price per pound twice that of the
more common variety.
AS to the condition of the soil in
Casa Gral.de, there are several types
throughout the valley. On the high
mesas near the mountains, fine de-
composed granite predominates. This
is an excellent soil for fruit. On the
lower levels a sandy loan, more or
less mixed with silt, is most common.
