FLORENCE

Florence, May 1.-(Special )-Final as- sessments have been made covering the paving of Court street, the first street to be completely paved in this city. The assessments were made against no pieces of property, and while some of the prop erty owners will contest their assess ments, a majority of them have accepted the assessments as made, indicating thereby that they are satisfied with the improvements made.
 The paving work on Mobile and Ten nessee streets is progressing satisfag- torily, and it is hoped to begin the paving of Wood avenue and Morrison avenue at an early date. Property owners now realize that chert streets will not last under modern heavy traf- fric, and when new streets are to be built the people invariably ask the city officials to pave the streets to make them permanent rather than to build chert streets along their property. It has been seen that paving greatly en- hances the property values, and vacant lots are readily in demand on paved streets.
 The Athens College Glee Club will Tp- pear at the Princess theatre on May T. It is expected that a large crowd Of Florence citizens will go to hear them, there being some members of the Glee Club from this city.
 IaValle & Waddell have rented the new store building just completed next to the Princess Theatre on Tennessee street, and they will operate a modern cafe and rooming house there. Business property is in ready demand here, and the moment new piece of business property is ready for an occupant there is always someone ready to rent 1t and start business here.
 State Senator B. A. Rogers of this city has just returned from a trip over the state, and he says that former Gov. Emmet OHNeal will very likely be nomi- mated to succeed the late Senator J. H. Bankhead in the United States Senate: ONeal will secure majority of the

METHODSOF FARMING ID FOLLOW
 PRESENT SITUATION

Out of the chaos of a sta agnant cotton market will come a rcadjustment in the agricultural industry of the Salt River valley that will once again establish it on basis as firm and strong as the rock of Gibraltar
 That is the consensus of opinion among men closely obscrvant of the trend of conditions. They have not given expression to this thought on the instant, but after weeks and months of deep study and observation. They are the far sighted men who urged and preached diversified farming last fall and spring: they are the men who have the welfare of the community at heart.
 We've got to get away from this get rich quick Wallingford idea" one of the men declared yesterday. We've got to forget cotton at SIPS a pound. We must put our lands into crops that will insure financial returns the year around"
 There is nothing the matter with Salt River valley lands" Webb Griffin of the r.. J. Bennitt & company real 'estate firm declared yesterday. "Our lands are worth every cent as much today as they were a year ago and one of the shining lights Of the present

 Conditions now are unsettled: the cotton market is disrupted and many ranchers do not know what will be their lot but in tho long run we will find that the valley will he the win ner as a result of the present situa- ton.

 With half their ranch in cotton, they can carry on dairying on the other half, or grow melons or lettuce or truck it. Then they have a-1 income independent of their cotton crop.

been elected so narrow was the margin by which he had been defeated.
 Mir. Vernon is well qualified for the office by his experience in handling men and his experience in purchasing supplies. Finishing his schooling at an carly age. he entered the spanish American war and went to Cuba in tho command of General I-awton. Ar ter he had served IS months in the Philippines he returned to this coun- try and entered the employ of the Co., lumbus Buggy company at Columbus Ohio. His first position there was not a responsible one. that of a roustabout. Seven years later he was in a man. agerial position.
 After that he went to San Francisco, where he entered business, and re- maincd there until ill health drove him to Arizona He found employment with the reclamation service. then en- gagged in the construction of the Salt river project and later was made the irrigation manager for the north side. After that he had charge of the Buck eye Irrigation company, a position he held for four and a half years, during which time the project there was greatly extended and was most econ omically conducted. Since then Mr. Vernon has been engaged in farming and cattle raising and has shared in a very great measure in the prosperity of all those who pinned their faith to the Buckeye country.
 As a man used to doing things suGs cessfully in a large way, Mir. Vernon will be an ideal business manager for SO extensive a business as that of Maricopa county.

CHINA EXPORTING
 EGGS ID STATES

Egg producers of the Salt River val ley, in common with the egg producers of the coast states, have been much concerned about the large number of eggs which are imported in a frozen state in cans or barrels from China. Bakeries on the coast are said to use these frozen eggs to a very large ex tent. A bill was introduced in the last congress which would restrict these imports considerably. The following information and figures of imports has just been received by the chamber of commerce. bureau of markets. Wash ington, D. C., and will be of interest to consumers as well as producers:
 shanghai is one of the leading egg freezing centers in China, according to report of the American consul in that district. The height of the egg production season in this locality is from April to July 15. Although from S5 to 90 per cent of the entire egg pro- duction of this part of China arrives at the egg factories during the flush sea- son some eggs arrive at the market during al seasons of the year. All of the eggs pass directly to the egg break ing plants for drying and freezing.
 Refrigerating plants are in Shanghai. Ranking, Hankow and Tientsin. The eggs are broken and either desicated or frozen for the export trade immedi- ately upon the arrival at the factory. The storage of the eggs in Shanghai before shipment never exceeds sixty days"
 During 1916 exports of frozen eggs from China to the United States were 2.301, ,265 pounds, valued at $41T.1 while exports of dessicated eggs were 571.322 pounds valued at $225,454. In 1919, exports of frozen eggs to this country amounted to 3.920,626 pounds. worth $734,796, and exports of dessicat- ed eggs totaled 3,94s,406 pounds, val ued at S1,735,S35.

 My dear Mir Mather:
 On your trip through the south west we want to have the oppor- tunity of seeing you in Phoenix and would like to suggest that your visit to this state be made by the way of the Capitol city and. that from here you go by way of the Apache trail to the Roosevelt Dam and from the Roosevelt Dam by way of the Natural Bridge to Flag staff and the Grand Canyon. This trip will occupy no more time than the plan you have in mind and we are sure that your visit to the dam and to the Nat ural Bridge will be well worth while.
 On behalf of this organization, I am directed to extend to you a very cordial invitation to arrange your | x-icif Or1 fha rIar SfirCpcfp1 We would be glad to receive word. from you by wire that the change in plan is agreeable to you.
 Hoping to see you in the Capitol City.
 Yours very truly.
 E. D! ROPER. Stanley Waich, President. Secretary.
 P. g.: By including Phoenix in your itinerary you will be afforded connection with the BanlShead National Highway, the Southern National Highway, the Dixie Over land Highway. and the Borderland route. We are sure that this slight change in routes will be an added attraction to> the trip, and also
 bring the journey within close touch of the Casa Grande Ruins at Florence and the Cliff Dwellings at
 the Roosevelt Dam.

GREAT NEED OF RAIN
 IN GRAZING SECTIONS

Persistent absence of rain during the last three weeks has resulted in marked decrease in the contents or water tanks. an increase in fire. hazard in the national forests and a marked drying of the soil Reports to the weather bureau indicate great need of rain in the southern and eastern counties where summer showers were scattered and inadequate and the grazing of stock during the early fall months has become a serious problem. In the vicinity of Douglas where there har been little rain in the last five weeks cattle continue good. Roundups are i'm progress in the Nogales section and conditions are generally good. In the major grazing sections of the state satisfactory conditions continue. gen. orally. except as to water stored in tanks and holes which has shown marked diminution in the last two weeks Grass on the summer ranges, less nutritious than that on yearlong ranges. has deteriorated rapidly and few cattle remain at the higher eleva- tions. Somc stock are being shipped from the Seligman section.
 Excellent weather. generally dry and warm. has assisted the farmers of Apache and Navajo counties in the harvest of an unusually large crop of potatoes. The harvest of apples, oats and corn in those counties has also progressed under most favorable con- ditions. Under the influence of a warm sun early in the week late planted cotton in the Salt River val ley developed rapidly and has created an unusual demand for labor to take care of the crop. Cotton is coming in rapidly and gins are running full time. This years crop is said to be of ex- cepuonally fine grade owing, doubt less. to favorable conditions of soil and weather. Rain is badly needed in dry land sections for seeding
