 BUREAU SETS 1 1-2
 CENT PICKING WAGE

SCOTTSDALE, Oct. 11-For the thlrd time this year the local farm bureau voted in favor of paving not more than l F cents for picking cot ton- Ihe meeting Thursday night was attended by more than 90 farm CTS ana they were all vitally inter- ested in setting the picking price as final, due to some of the growers in the district paying more than 11z cents. After two hours of discussion the decision was reached, with this exception: Any man who has stub cotton or cotton that is so weedy or scattered that the average picker can not profitably pick it, will notify the president or vice president of the Iarm bureau and they will send the committee that was appointed at the last meeting to the grower and deter mine the price to be paid for picking. This method will give those who have poor cotton opportunity to get 1t picked without injuring the other growers by paying too high price. Walter Hayden, manager of the Arizona branch of the Micro Soils Bacteria company. was the speaker | or the evening and gave an interest ing talk on the use of inoculating bac- teria for alfalfa fields and for other legumes. He offered to let any farm CT in this district have some of the culture free to try a small plot, so l the rest of the farmers could see the experiment and be convinced of its worth
