 'SNhereas, Recent further in- yestigation develops the fact that the interests of the producer and the consumer will not be sub served by the passing of such legislation; now. therefore. be it
 Resolved That the Arizona Cat tlc Growers association in special convention assembled pursuant 10 the action of the executive com mittee) on this 10th day of No vember, 1919, do hereby rescind the action of the convention of February lith. 12th and 18th. 1919, endorsing the said Kendrick bill. and hereby protest the passage of this bin in its present form or like legislation. But we do recommend sane and business-liSe legislation that will bring about investiga- ton. examination and publication of conditions connected with the packing industry, and we further recommend that @ committee be appointed by the president of this association to go to Washington and appear before any committee holding hearing on such bills and present the action of this organ izdtion.'

 This action of the convention w in striking contrast Co the action the California Cattle Raisers assoc ation last week. That association wi a very large attendance went on re ord for the endorsement of the pri ciple of control of the packers.

ized plan. if possible, to secure the withdrawal of the Arizona Cattle Growers association from the support of the Kenyon Kendricll bill, and many representatives of the packers were in evidence.
 The resolutions committee was named by Chairman Charles P. Null len shortly after 1;30 o'clock when the afternoon session was called to order O. E. Fuller, of California, made the motion to appoint a committee on res Omtions. which carried. J. c. Kinney J. N. Robinson and Jack Crabb were named by Mullen to serve as that com mittee.
 Dwgiht B. Heard and II. A. Jastro, both proponents Of -the kendrick- Kenyon bills. reached the rooms i'm mediately after this committee had ] been appointed. Mir. Heard and Mr. Jastro then addressed the meeting, de- | lending the bills in reply to the op- 1 position made during the morning ses- ] sion by Weld, of Swift X company, and former Governor AmmOns, representa- tive of the Denver Livestock exchange.
 Mir. Heard stated that instead of being socialistic, revolutionary and destructive. as had been claimed, the ! measures were constructive, just and roasouable: that they in no way pro- uosed government operation, but an iuteIigeut. sane method of government control on the basis of a square deal alike to producer, packer and con sumer. similar to the control exercised successfully over national banks. He called for reading of the digest o1 the bills to prove the accuracy of his statement
 The digest called for was then reaC Ly Mir. Ward. attorney for the Cattle Raisers' association, and Mir. Heart then proceeded to read the followini letter from senator Kendrick, who wa unable to be present;

 Referring to refrigerator cars, he' said the packing companies established this form of transportation at a time when the railroads refused to con- struct and maintain such cars.
 As to the stockyard part of the bills, he said this would be taking from us the least. important factor" but that the packers believe they can operate fine stockyards more efficiently than can the government.

eS. We had an interesting visit with new conner to the valley last week who was typl- cal of the majority of dairymen who come here from the older dairy communities. This man came here from Wisconsin (which state by the way, will produce more than billion dollars worth of dairy products this year) and has purchased an 80-acre farm When he bought it a portion was in cotton which he has cultivated and harvested.
 '1 am now," said he, "going back to Wis consin and buy 60 head of the best dairy cows can purchase, and develop dairy. know the dairy business, and know that can make money year after year from milk herd, with no crop failures, no variation. Dairying has literally made" my home state. Cotton is alright had good results this year, but shall not take up cotton raising an occupation. It strikes me as too much of hazard to de- pend entirely crop and moreover, the price of cotton cannot possibly remain at the present high figure and under present condi- tions very material drop in prices will mean real hardship, for the cost of raising bale of cotton now approaches too close to the sell ing price for any great degree of comfort to the grower can keep 60 cows on my ranch, and raise little cotton if l want to, and in this climate and at present milk prices I'll be in position to reap bigger returns than could ever hope to in Wisconsin"
 We pointed out to our friend that there were good dairy cows in the Salt River valley for sale, but he insisted that the cows he has in mind to buy are worth the trouble and transportation costs by their high butter fat production.
 Let this department assist you in getting into the dairy business
 Our farm experts are practical men who KNOW BY DOING" just how best to care for stock and arrange crops, buildings and all other farm matters. They will be glad to assist any farmer or dairyman free of charge.

CIIPIn IC WINNER

The furniture store of Newill-
Planson was burglarized Monday
night, the discovery being made
early Tuesday morning and hasty
inventory showed that the senior
member, Mr.. Nelson Newill and a
lady book-keeper, Mrs. Rose Haley
McQuillin, were both missing.
Through the quick work of Dan
Cupid the happy couple were locat-
ed at Three Rivers, Mich. where they
were married Tuesday by the Rev.
G. M. Ford, formerly of Delta. From
Three Rivers they have gone on a
honeymoon trip to Chicago and other
points west.
Both are we'll known to all Atlas
readers, having lived here for se>
eral years. The groom is one of
Delta's best and most enterprising
young business men, being senior
member of the largest furniture
house in the county. The bride,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. r.
Haley has been the efficient book
keeper for the same firm for several
years and moves in Delta's best So
cial circle.
If we were able to couch our wishes
in words we would use charity in
speaking of the undertaking and
would frame up a story that might
stand unless it were tabled, however
the friends here are all waiting to
wish Mr.. and Mrs. Newill many
nappv days.-Delta Atlas.
