COTTON GROWERS OF
 MESA DECIDE ON 1 IF CENT PICKING RATE

MESA, Oct 5-Cotton growers af the Mesa district at farm bureau meeting held Tuesday night in the | Commercial club rooms decided to | continue the present rate of l 1z cents | per pound for picking cotton pending ! action by the Arizona Cotton Grow CTS association of Tempe which it is expected will be taken this week. A new board of directors for the farm bureau and officers for the ensuing year were elected at the meeting. It was pointed out at the meeting that farmers elsewhere in the valley and some individuals in the Mesa district were reported to be paying | two cents per pound for picking, | thereby enticing the piclxers away | from those paying the established price. A meeting of the labor or ganization it is understood will be | held in Tempe this week at which time a picking price will be set to | govern the entire valley, and pend | ing the outcome of that session, the local growers decided to continue the | present price.
 At the Tuesday night meeting di- rectors of the Mesa farm bureau for the coming year were elected as fol- lows: Leonard Metz, E. H. Boards ley, Louis Ellsworth, D. P. Jones. G. c. Salisbury. Ed Tway and T. A. l Hawes. The directors were in ses- , sion following the general meeting : and selected MT. Hawes as president, | Mir. Beardsley as vice president and | Mir. Salisbury as secretary treasurer. | Home Is Destroyed By Fire
