PLACES FOR CONSERVATIVES

Hundreds of people come to Arizona every month suffering from tuberculosis. Some of them go to sanitariums but more are seeking places, especially out Of town, where they can live quietly and can be fed sim ply with plenty of milk and eggs as foundation for getting we'll. There are many ranches and country places in Arizona that could accommodate one or more such individuals to advantage and at the some time perform a very decided service for human ity. Persons, anywhere in the State, who can find room for even one healthseeker, are re quested by the Arizona Anti tuberculosis Society to send their names to the Society's headquarters at 300 East Adams Street, Phoenix, together with the information as to the class of boarder desired, accommoda, tionS, location, costs, etc. A list is being arranged of places where healthseekers will be welcomed. This data will be of enormous value since many who are only slightly indiSposed and are pre- pared to pay we'll now go away because they can fad no satis factory place to stay.

INTENSIVE VEGETABLE GROWING

F. E. Smith and brother who are farming the R. R. Richard son place adjoining town on the east, are doing things in a thor ough business way. They are using big tractors, blowing deep and thoroughly pulverizing the soil. In addition to the ordinary grain crops they will raise beans and vegetab bles on a large sale. Mir. F. B. Smith informs the Patagonian that he will raise enough vegetables to supply the Patagonia and Nogales markets and place them in the hands of dealers in both places fresh from the gardens and deliver them regularly and promptly.
 It is the rule with the agents of the California vegetable growers organization to cut off the supply of any dealer who patronizes the home producer. Many times the home producer cannot supply the dealer re- gularly and promptly, thus leav. ing him at a disadvautage and compelling him to abide by the dictates of the California produ- cer. This condition Mir. Smith proposes to remedy and in doing SO he intends to sell just as choice vegeta bles as the California pro duct and at a much lower figure. He figures that he can do this and make money at it. As he is an experienced farmer and ve getable grower we believe he knows what he is talking about and has his plans we'll laid.- Patagonian.
