HIGHER YIELDS PER ACRE

At time when the whole world is calling for
sugar and yet more sugar, and when production is
some millions of tons behind demand, the question of
ways and means of increasing output is one that no
sugar producer can afford to ignore There are two
possible means of bringing about this result One is
by bringing more acres under cultivation the other
is by obtaining higher yield from the present acre
age. =
For years preceding the war American farmers
rowed planted and cultivated latter fashion) two
acres of land to obtai the sse yield that Europeans

THE OUTLOOK

Tomorrow the people of Nogales will decide
whether to continue in power in the municipality the
Democratic Party with two years record of careful
economical management, restore to power an old
and arrogant regime which ran the town through
period of twenty years, very much as if it owned lis
all In fee simple
1t is admitted that those on the Sisk ticket deny
that there is any connection between themselves and
former administrations or the record of former ad-
mnistrations. But against the commendable record
of the present administration they have got to show
something beside simple observations that they will
be good The very fact tina all those who have gone
out from former administrations discredted by the
record and those who profited thereby are backing
the Ssk ticket working like beavers hoping to make
votes for it, casts them nputation they
not escape. And in the record of the present admin
isration they have shown reason why they should
be chosen to supplant administration which has
done so WELL
Supporters of the Sisk ticket and apologists for
the old ring have endeavored to break the force of
exposures made by 'The Oasis. drawn from the
record, but without effect. EVERYTHING we. have

And when they have tried to disprove the allegations
in these columns we have blocked them by disproving
their claims and allegations.
Now, in presentation of the Democratic ticket
the party backing it stand upon the official and
business record of all the nominees They e.o sue

In discharge of their own business affairs the can

the Slsk ticket. We have given all of them personal
and extended mention in these columns; and what
has been said in their favor cannot be gainsad
And their public service has been of the same
high order Those Of Acting Mayor Harrison
Mayor Fielder and Alderman Wylie who served and
are serving in the present reform council which has
mace record for economy and efficiency that can
not be equalled by any of its predecessors Acting
Mayor Harrison has served faithfully and efficiently

wife, who has been close to deaths door many weeks
has kept him away from his seat several weeks
Alderman Wylie has creditable record in the

All three are successful business men, and their
standing is very high, both as men and fir:.1:, lily.
Frank }. Duffy, nominee for alderman is a lead

bench that shows him trustworthy, capable and eff

successful farmer and business man.
Doctor M. A. Wuerschmidt has added to the in

optical appliance manufacturing plant, that gives
poyment to others and draws a great deal of out
