celebration in the Southwest, when they will entertain visitors from all points ir Arizona and the entire coun. try during the Prescott Frontier Days celebration, July 2-3-4-5th. This event is looked upon as the official Fourth of July celebration for the State of Arizona. As a matter of interest to every one, the present Gov ernor of the State of Arizona was the first chairman of the Prescott Frontier Days cele- bration and yearly Governor Campbell makes it a point to enjoy the cowboy contests in Prescott.
 Cowboys will be in Pres colt from all sections in Ari- zona. The fair manner in which the contestants have always been treated appeals to the stockmen and the cowboys are sending in their entries already for these events. When a man wins a prize at Prescott he knows that he has won strictly on his merits and that he has shown the best possible skill in that event. The contest ants elect their judges and every dollar advertised is paid on the decision of the judges. Over $10,000 in cash purses will be awarded to the contestants, in the sports of the mountains and plains. .
 Prescott's reputation with respect to taking care of all visitors who come to the Mile High City for the big events will be maintained this year. A special accom- modatiods committee, head ed by Brownie" Gentry will be on the job day and night with permanent head quarters in the Chamber of Commerce office in the court house, where they will be prepared to take care of all visitors whether they come on train, auto, horseback, or on two cylinders.
 Outdoor dancing on the beautiful plaza at Prescott will be held each evening. Band concerts will be played during the morning and evenings by a splendid con- cert band of twenty-five while the famous cowboy band will discourse the music during the events in the arena. Baseball games will be held on the mornings of July 2-3-4-5th. Patriotic exercises will be held on the morning of July 4th. Horse races and other sports will be conducted so that there will not be a dull moment from the time the big cele- bration opens until it closes. People of renown from all parts of the world, including artists and writers, visit Prescott during the contests for it is only in the Mile High City during July 2-3-4- 5th, that the real sports of the cowboys can be seen in their proper light.

 I ADAMANA OIL COMPANY
 Work progresses steadily at this we'll and the showing made by the driIlings last week have occasioned much favorable comment, being conclusive that oil exists in the field. Another forma- ton has now been encount- cred which is a dark lime and difficult drilling. Man. ager Cook, as well as all in- terested in the field, are well satisfied with the showings and progress being made.
 HOPI OIL COMPANY
 Driller Cameron, who has arrived to take charge of the drilling operations of the Hopi Oil Company, has moved with his family to the rig south of town. New equipment is being ordered by the managementand steps are being taken to open up this we'll and continue it to completion.
 APACHE OIL COMPANY
 The Apache Oil Company continues operations at it's location near Snowflake. Manager Aiken left Saturday night on a business trip and Secretary Treasurer Geo. E. Taylor has arrived in Hol- brook for permanent resi- dence and will devote his time to the operations of the company. As has been stated heretofore, the Apache man. agement is convinced that oil will be encountered at a i, shallow depth at the site now 1 drilling.

ing only the same number for 1919 their average

total of $5,O00,000,000
p In 1910, the last year for which census figures
available, the total value of farm properties,
including land, equipment, buildings implements
and machinery, domestic animals, poultry and bees,
was about $41 100000 ,000 increase of 100 per
cent during the decade preceding. The estimated
value increased at least 80 per cent during the nine
years from 1910 to 1919, that it totaed at least
$77,900,000000 last year. A per cent return upon
this value of farm property is s4, ,674, 100000.
FEAR FARMERS WILL CUT
PRODUCTION TO MINIMUM
The other items in the above table are carefully
estimated though the allowance for state and local
taxes very low, and the depreciation allowed-10
per centon the estimated increase in the value of
implements and machinery since 1910 is also prob
ably too low.

The figures show that the labor interest Of farm

Payne became member of the presidents official

WIVES AND CHILDREN ARE
ENTITLED TO FAIR WAGE

These figures the Farmers Ma
tional council admits are estimates,
but most careful estimates, and they
have purposely leaned toward con-
servatism in making them. The out
standing fact is that American agri-
culture is primarily labor, and poorly
paid labor at that. Farmers who
manage farms and take the risks Of
agriculture, need and use large bust
ness ability and are entitled to re-
turn for their labor equal to that of
men engaged in other similarly inn
portant business, as well as to a fair
return upon the value of their farms
and farm equipment. Instead of get
ting such a return many farmers re-
ceive less for their work than un-
skilled workers in other industries
who are themselves paid less than a.
living wage.
