INQUIRIES RECEIVED HERE INDICATE MUCH
 INTEREST IN VALLEY

Inquiries received at the Phoenix chamber of commerce. for June of this year were 3s5. from 41 different states and four foreign countries. The mum Der of these inquiries indicates that in terest in the Salt River valley is on the increase and that the slogan "I00. .O00 in 1925" is by no means impossible of attainment. In June, 1919, the total inquiries were 267 and in June five years ago the inquiries numbered 1856. Usually the inquiries in the summer months arc not as large as in the fall and winter months. The inquiries for May of this year were 578 and for May, 1919, were 337.
 The inquiries for June of this year were heaviest from California, there being 66. Texas ranks second with S1 and New York third with 20. Colo rado. Oklahoma and Illinois each had IF inquiries Others range from to Is, with one or more inquiries from Canada, Mexico, England and Japan
 While the bookls6 '|Phoenix. Salt River Valley and Arizona, Today was not published and mailed until well into the month of June, the favorable reached IT states and numerous re- quests were received from people in these states, who sent the requisite amount for the book and requested that it be sent them
 In addition to these inquiries from outside the state there were many in Quiries from people within the state. As usual, the principal inquiries are from those who contemplate coming to Arizona and the Salt River valley to make their home, although quite a sprinkling of inquiries are from those
 who are seeking homesteads and ask concerning lands open for entry in l other parts of the SNdte-
 Then, too, there are always some who are asking for health conditions l for some member of their family. Not
 as many are asking regarding labor conditions, as is frequently the case at | this time of the year. The general tenor of the inquiries indicates that there are more people in other parts | of the country hearing of the Sals | River valley and want to learn more
 about it, with a view to coming here to | locate.
 | Letters have been written to all of | these inquirers and literature mailed
 them when the nature of their inquiry
 was such as to require more informa-
 ton than could be given in an ordinary l letter.

SALT RIVER VALLEY
 MAY BECOME CENTER
 FOR PRODUCING SEED

The Salt River valley may soon be- come the eQG2l of the Santa Clara valley of California in the growing of seed on a large scale, as a result of the initiative taken by the Phoenix chamber of commerce after inviesiga- ton in a general way. The matter is now before the University of Arizona, and Saturday the chamber of commerce received the following from Dean D. W. Working:
 T have your letter expressing the opinion that it will be desirable to un- dertake the growing of seeds on large scale in the Salt River valley. It seems to me that the idea is we'll worth con- sidering.
 T will take it up with our depart ment of agronomy and horticulture in order to secure the best information available. It is probable that among our workers there has accumulated sufficient information to offer at least a provisional recommendation. If you happen to know of gardeners and truck growers who have had experience in growing seed in your valley we shall be very glad to have you give us their names and addresses. Q
 The chamber of commerce will com- ply by sending all names it can get but to make sure that none are over looked asks that all gardeners and truck growers send their names direct to Dean Working as the growing or seed on a large scale is considered the most profitable of all farm industries.
 In reply to the deans letter Secre- tary Welch says everything will be done here to assist. One paragraph reads: The success of the cotton seed is splendid evidence of the possi- bilities in this direction; also we have very good reports of the quality of our alfalfa and Bermuda grass seed
 In a letter dated June 2S the secre- tary said: We believe that the time is ripe for a concerted effort to be made with 9 view to determining the feasibility of seed growing on a large scale in this valley. We feel that sweet peas. onions, lettuce. beets. sunflower and a variety of other seeds might be grown here with large profits. It is also probable that this type of farming will divert some of the lands from cot ton to other crops and we know that the university is very much interested in work along this particular line.
 With reference to the Santa Clara valley it was stated at the chamber of commerce that for 15 years that valley has reaped it's greatest harvest in seeds and secured the greatest profits therefrom although for many years it has been a premier fruit, grain and hay country. The growing of seed, it was stated, is so profitable that those making a success Of it seldom if ever leave it for another form of farm ing.

Whaf Does IL Cost to CrOW
 Cotton? This GipeS CIT Idea

What does it actually cost to grow cotton?"
 ~Based upon cost and a fair profit. what should be the price paid for raw cotton2'
 These are the 4++eStions that are be- ing raised by the last letter issued to the membership of the Arizona. branch of the American Cotton association, (the Arizona American Egyptian Cot tor Growers association, 27 North Central, Phoenix).
 Too many optimistic estimates of the cost of growing cotton have been issued. according to the letter, and large number of the largest cost items have been left out of most of the esti- mates
 The farmer must conduct his busi- ness in the same businesslike manner as a man engaged in any other busi- ness, says w. $. Stevens, president of the association, in this letter.
 Figure Your Costs
 "The first thing in any businesN states MT. Stevens's letter, "is eo de termine the cost of conducting the business. If it were not so nearly a tragedy it would be amusing to con- slider the statement of cost in growing cotton as usually prepared.
 "One of the recent estimates we have seen omitted any consideration what
 
 the owner, interest on the investment, taxes, depreciation, or upkeep.
 The principal reason why it is so vitany necessary to figure the cost of production at this time is that the con- sumers of cotton cannot appreciate that the present prices of cotton are really below what the increased cost of production warrants
 The letter compares the cotton grow CT to the business man, whose prices must be based. on the cost of goods, the cost of doing business, and the turnover. If the turnover is rapid the margin of profit per turn may be small and the profits satisfactory, but if the turnover occupies a long time the prof it's must be approximately greater.
 It is 10 the latter cisss of business men with a slow turnover that the cotton grower belongs, states MT. Stevens. To grow and harvest ana properly market his crop takes from one to two years, and in order to be successful he must receive a higher percentage of profit than the producer of crops that are grown and marketed quickly.

Where the People
 May Have a Hearing

Editor. The Republican:
 While Phoenix may properly say that it is in the front rank of western cities; that the marvel of it's growth in the past will be equalled by the miracle of her development in the future; that the riches of it's contributing country are destined to be as great as those of any section of the earth, and that IS grad ualIy, and proudly, assuming that cos mopolitan aspect SC much desired by every community which is not afflicted with dry rot it has another distin- gushing mark which is sometimes in danger of being glossed over by her citizens. but which, in the opinion of many, cannot be forgotten if they are to see their city go as far along cul- tural and esthetic lines as she must go on the paths of business and com nferciaI success.
 Phoenix, according to these observers, is a link with the past. The city is set in the very center of a country des- tined to become as precious to the his torian and the student as the shores of Massachusetts or the valleys of Nir- ginia- Its story today mergeS almost imperceptibly with the story of the pioneers, just as their story is merged with the tale of Fremont and of Clark, and theirs with that of the Indian, and his, in dim mist of legend and half discovered fact with that of the civil ization that built the cliff dwellings, cultivated the fields at the foot of the precipices which were once called home, and carved upon the rocky foun- datiOns of it's temples, the history of it's day in a language whose very rudi- mentS have been forgotten.
 Other parts of the west have their own legacies from the past-and these sections of the country are awakening to the fact that they are priceless. The missions Of California, and Fl Camino ReaI-that royal highway connecting the mission houses from San Diego to San Francisco in an unbroken string have lately become as much objects Of the sOlicitude of that state as has her commercial development. Business or ganizations are beginning to see that in the missions California has soh4ething distinctive to cffer the visitor Hotel

CITY WILL OBSERVE
 INDEPENDENCE DAY
 IN QUIET FASHION

The Fourth of July is over, but the recognized holiday for the celebration of Independence day has been set for today, when merrymal1ing will be in the order of things.
 No concerted effort for Q big cele- bration has been arranged for in Phoe- nix, so for this reason the day will probably be much quieter than is usu- ally the case when the signing of the declaration of independence is com memorated. Those who wish to have q lively time of it will go to Prescott for the Frontier Days celebration, while others will repair to the various amusement parks or motor out to some picnic spot for d private party. The days will be the incentive for many dinners or will provide a motif for private dances, which characterizes the present day manner of celebrating the Fourth of July in Phoenix, con trasting with the may of a by-gone period when noise was the prevailing note.
 Banks, barber shops railroad ticket i offices and mercantile establishments will be closed all day today. with the exception of a few meat markets which will be open for a short time this morning.

men are finding that in them they have another reason for beguiling dollars from the open purse of the tourist. The history of the earth eating Indians for whose spiritual welfare the missions were built has become as absorbing a topic as the prices of stocks and bonds. Fraternal bodies are collecting funds for the restoration of the missions and for the e-crea,tion, as far as is possible, of the life that was theirs when the Franciscan friars taught the aborigines the first principles of farming and showed them how to make two goats graze where only one grazed before.
 And California is getting results. Wis itors are remaining longer than was their former custom. Her schools are finding new and absorbing topics of in- vestigation. The name of Cabrillo, of Serra and of Balboa are taking places beside those of Washington, of Jeffer- son and Adams. Tourises who come to enjoy climate" remain to listen to the story of a ruined church and patio. The story of the landing Of the Pilgrims is forgotten in repeating the tale of the landing of the Spanish troops at Old Town. California has found q new asset, and, in her own well known man her, she is making the most of it.
 These reflections were born during the course of a casual stroll through Phoenix yesterday. The sight of boys rom the Indian school in their uni forms; of women in black mantilIas and of their consorts in the gaudiest of silk shirts; of adobe walls where the crumbling plaster has fallen away, all combined to arouse the thought that perhaps Phoenix has forgotten that the cosmopolitanism of today can never be that cosmopolitanism which unites with the present the reminders of the past that the gift given to her by forgotten peoples can never be e0uaIled bv the donations of her own sons-that. even from a monetary view, a heritage is worth infinitely more than promise.

Little Stories
 Of The Town

office has been acting as an arbitrator in many of the disputes which arise among the Mexican population of Phoenix This deputy settles many af- fairs during each week that otherwise might prove to be serious.
 Recently, however, he had case a bit out of the ordinary. A Mexican girl came to him with tears in her eyes and told him her tale It seems that she had been keeping company with a Mexican youth and he had promised to marry her. She had @ younger sister, though, and her tickle lover fell in love with the sister and they slipped off and got married.
 The tilted girl came to the deputy for advice. She wanted revenge and swore she would secure it. Finally the deputy said: "He (meaning the girls tickle lover) has a brother. hasn't { he?" "Yes," the girl answered. Well" !" the deputy said,. and shrugged his shoulders.
 The one word evidently meant the settlement of the affair and the se- curing of proper revenge. for a few days later the girl and her new broth er-in-law's brother were married.

Proper Charges

Proper charges of cost against the cotton crop are then enumerated. among them being the following:
 Salary to cotton grower, based or his earning ability if employed in cot ton production by some one else; land rent, all money paid for labor, feed, fuel, water. seed and other costs, in cluding the annual cost Of small tools
 To this should be added the 20 per cent depreciation of all work stock and ordinary implements, and 3S 1-3 per cent depreciation on all motor equipment, and all repairs and upkeep for the year.
 Feed and pasture for workstock should be charged at it's cash value. premiums on insurance against storms. pests, floods, plant diseases and so forth. should be charged, whether 1t IS possible to secure the insurance or not
 All expenses incurred in financing the crop should be charged, from the time the cotton land blowing is started until the cotton has been picked, ginned warehoused and finally sold. including interest, insurance, ware house charges, commissions, dues to the association, cost or procuring labor. ginning, hauling, taxes, fertilizer, and all other costs.
 Shortage of Cotton When the cotton grower has figured up his cost of production on this basis. MT Stevens says, he will not be will 1 ing to sell for what merely appears, on the face of IL, to be a fair price, but when compared with costs proves to be below what they warrant
 There is no question but that the 1 world is despartely short of all char acter of cotton, and is willing to pay l a good profit to the producer in order 1 to get the supply
 But it is up to the producer to l show what is the average cost of pro- duction, and this can only be done by | CO., operation through the American i Cotton association" says the letter.

A Tip for Treasure Hunters

On a certain corner on West Wash ington street is a veritable Golconda for the small boy who keeps an eye open for treasure trove. Almost any day there can be found tools or other unattached articles lying near this spot, and the reason for the phenome- non lies in a deep chuck hole which is almost impossible to avoid in a motor car travelling on the north side of Washington street.
 Speeding motor cars hit this minia- ture arroyo with a great jar. which in. falHbly causes everything lying around loose in the car to be violently dis placed. In many cases the concussion dislodges a radiator cap or any other available article, which falls to the street unnoticed until some other passer-by espies it and appropriates it for his own.

Gle Had It


 Most prisoners while being finger printed are very sullen and do not talk much but occasionally this rule is broken and the prisoner, during the operation, is very loquacious. These prisoners always furnish all the humor there is in the usually serious opera ton of taking the prints of a mans hand for criminal records.
 Recently several prisoners were being finger printed in the sheriffS office, and among the bunch was a very talkative one. He kept a con tinaul flow of talk going from the time he entered the room where the print3 were being taken until it came his turn, and then he began Kidding" the officer who was taking the prints
 In the operation of taking finger prints, each finger on the prisoners hand is taken separately. When the officer reached the middle finger on the right hand of the loquacious pris- oner, he discovered that portion of it was missing
 Turning to the prisoner he said, we must have the end of this finger, or we can't take a print of it."
 That SOP said the prisoner. Yes the officer answered.
 'fWen,'' the prisoner replied, taking a small rubber bag from his pocket and opening it up, "here is the end you want and he laid the shrivelled end of the finger in the astonished officers hand.
