The United States railroad admins ! tr;ttion will advertise extensively in | Lis country and Europe the resources of Arizona, with the view of bringing hcmeseelSers and other desirable in vostors to this state, according to a statement made by ]. F. farrell of Washington, supervisor of the home seekers bureau, who arrived in Phoe nix last night for a conference today with secretary Harry Welsh of the chamber of commerce, and others re- garding farm opportunities in this state.
 The agricultural section of the rail road administration, Of which the homeseekers bureau is a part, is ar rlnging to issue a series of bulletins about Arizona for general distribution. They will contain dependable data re sarding production. markets. trans portation facilities. land values. cli- mate, schools, churches. roads, living conditions, etc. The material is being assembled by MT. farrell and com mittee of agricultural representatives of the railroads operating in Arizona, of which C. l.. Seagraves, supervisor of agriculture of the santa F'e, is chairman. The other members Of the committee are Andrew KimbalI. super visor of agriculture Of the Arizona Eastern, and R. $. Trumbull, agri- cultural agent of the F. r. x $. W.
 The homeseekers' bureau MT. Jar rell explained, was created in Janu- ary to take care of the increasing de- mand for information about farm op- 41a tfts the end of May we had received ap- proximately IS GOO inquiries. Of 46 states inquired about. Arizona stands fourth.
 Ask About We'll Advertised States
 An analysis of the inquiries re- ccived shows that the states which are the most active in advertising their resources have the greatest number of homesceker inquiries. fomeseekers naturally ask with reference to the states they hea' the most about just as the man buying a safety razor calls for the best advertised razor, and as The woman purchasing complexion cream calls for the best advertised lO- ton. Some states advertise all the inc, such as California, Florida. Ar- kansas and Arizona. and these states have been the leaders, in the order named so far as the inquiries are con cerned, evek since our homeseeIers bureau was established. Some states never advertise and there are few in -tuiries regarding them.
 Arizona with a large area of rich land for sale at reasonable prices, has for several years advertised extensive " it's undeveloped resources. but pos sibly of late-Since the war broke out not to the extent which the situation warrants. A locality may have hun lteds of thousands Of first grade, in expensive land, but if investors are not aware of it, there will he few sales The merchant who does not advertise 1is goods won't have much business The railroad administration offers tC Arizona it's cooperation in an. effor' 0 direct the attention of homeseeker: 0 the exceptional advantages found il his state"
