 ROAD, SAYS HARVEY

HOAU, BAYS HARVEY
 BISBEE. Ariz. Feb. 21-Arizona's ,Borderland roue. especially that sec ton from the New Mexico state line to Phoenix. is the best piece of state road in the southwest. It is link in the most feasible and the best road from east to west or vice versa. To the traveller who has seen all the transcontinental roads. the Border land is preferable always
 This in brief is the opinion of Jas. L. Harvey. retired capitalist of h. dianapoils. Ind. who spends most of his time motoring about the United States with his wife and daughter. For five years they have come west at the present season to summer in California. He arrived in Bisbee on Wednesday at noon and left over the Borderland for Tucson.
 Has Tried Them All
 T have tried them all," he deciar- ed, speaking of the highways across Arizona. "aud I have found the Bor-. derland the best. Roads which run to the north of Arizona through Utan and Nevada do not offer the same ad- vantages as your southern route. and none of them is as good.
 T have made the trip for five years Last year came into the state over the Santa Fe trail and went home by way of the Roosevelt dam and Globe. The year before I came into Arizona along the Southern Pacific lines and returned by the Borderland. I had been over the southern route on one former occasion. This year I am following it west and will return east by the same road
 Frequent Visitor Here
 We refer the Borderland for many reasons. Most important, how ever, we choose it because it offers good roads. little disturbed by heavy rains and never under snow, towns at convenient distances, good garages, hotels. stores and restaurants-the needs of the motoring public"
 Mir Harvey has been a frequent visitor in Arizona for several years. He has seen most of the states scen- ic wonders and is a consistent booster for this district On a former visit here he was shown through the mines of the district. and he carries with him still as a camp light the small carbide light he used when under ground He was formerly a broker. POTATO MARKETING IN ARIZONA The marketing of the potato crop furnished leading project this year for the farm bureau in Coconino coun- ty. Arizona. A marketing committee with the assistance of the county agent has established a better repu- s..;o~ C.. .t,o x~o,.,oas ;v th;S county and has graded all tubexs to conform to the United States No. grade. A year ago no attempt was made to grade potatoes but meetings were held and the farmers were acquaint- ed with grades that were necessary to bring a top price in the market. A : business house was induced to han de the regulation sorter and grader. and many have been sold to the farm ers. This fall 90 per cent of the farmers graded, which means a bet ter pack, and a conservation of la- bor Grading was taken up by the buyers. Sample packs were opened. and if too large a per cent passed through the regulation sized screen. the rest were re-sorted at the farm CTS expense. In some cases this was 6 costly experience. but . good rsqn tation and . standarixing of product meaning . good market, ere consid- cred as recompense.
