 Shown Over Great Ranch With some more Michigan yells the entertainment closed and the rare treat came to an end. The Michigan alumni present joined the glee club in singing the song of their alma mater, 'The Yellow and Blue.'
 The concert over, the visitors were conducted over the great ranch and were shown what had been accom- plished in the few brief months since the rattlesnakes and horned toads had been driven from that part of the des- ert and the work of improvement started.
 It was in January, 1917, when the first crew went to the ranch site and started work. Yesterday the visitors saw on the 10,50O acres field after field of long staple cotton just pol1ing it's first shoots abovs the carefully leveled alfalfa. milo maize and sorghum, while 5000 head of cattle were feeding in other fields, for it is not the plan of the Southwest Cotton company to raise cotton alone. The other crops and the cattle are necessary in the rounding out of the full plan laid out in the de- velopment of this great ranch.
 Could We'll Serve as Model Town
 Litchfield lies 23 miles west of Phoe- nix, four miles north of the Buckeye road. The American flag. floating from a tall pole, marks the town long before there is any outline of the buildings. Laid out by a landscape ar chitect, the town is built with an eye to future beauty as well utility. The streets are well made, with con- crete curbing and gutters. There is an adequate sewer system, electric light. water service and fire protection.
 Six thousand shrubs and trees al- and this is to be supplemented with 5000 more, it was stated. What these will make of Litchfield in few years with the care they are certain to re- ceive. can be easily imagined.
 The comfort of the employees on the ranch and in the, town of Litchfield has not been neglected. There is an ready for immediate service, with nurses at hand 4 theater provides nightly entertainment. Swimming pool tennis courts, baseball field and other athletic conveniences are pro- vided. The four school buildings and the one church, the stores. club and pool room. all have their use and their place in this model town the Southwest Cotton company has made to appear g s if by magic.
 How the Town Was Named
 Named for F. ". Litchfield. vice president and factory manager of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of Akron. O.. the story was told yesterday of the manner in which the town was given the name. President Seiberling of the Goodyear company was at Iitch- field on one of his occasional visits. It had been determined that both the eastern and western ranch towns had a development where names were advisable. It was suggested that one be named Seiberling. "No,n vetoed President Soldering. ..I've had that name all my life and never liked it. I'm not going to saddle it upon any town. But Mir. Litchfield is not here to defend himself. Let us name the western town Litchfie1d and q a1t, r. An was done. Honors of the town of Litchfield were done yesterday by Mayor Wilke. 1 whose real title is town superintendent.
