Since the Arizona table grapes will be about three weeks ahead of the Call fornia grapes, the marketing of them will not be difficult with proper or ganization. he said.
 The farm bureau went on record for one and one-half cents maximum price for picking cotton. They also voted to discourage any person or organization circulating announce ments about the state that more than that price would be paid for picking.

SHERIFF OFFERS S100 REWARD IF KNIGHT |SF0UND

Sheriff John Montgomery an- nounced yesterday that he would pay reward of s100 to the person find ing the body of John J. Knight, wealthy oil man of Wichita Falls, Texas. who disappeared near Palo Verde, July IS.
 The Maricopa county sheriff re- turned to Phoenix yesterday after having conducted an exhaustive four-day search for the missing man. Arriving at the spot where the aban- doned car, which Knight had been driving, had been found, the sher- if with his men made a preliminary examination of the grounds Thursday night The following day the party conducted a cursory examination of the territory extending for approxi- mately 25 miles from the junction of the Hassayampa river to the base of the White Tank mountains.
 Saturday the sheriff led a posse of 25 horsemen over this same district A very minute search of the ground was made. Not an arroyo. wash basin or bush was overlooked. But nothing that would furnish a mate rial clue as to the whereabouts of the body of the missing man or the man. ner in which hes disappeared, was found.
 Indications were found that the deserted motor car had been footed. Charred and burned bits of receipts, check stubs and other pieces of paper were scattered over the desert in the vicinity of the place where the car was found. Faint foot prints showed where two men had crossed the river and tracked about the abandoned car
 Two rains and several wind storms tended to obliterate all evidence of peared July 15
 Although returning to Phoenix. the sheriff said last night that he would continue to direct the search. At present, the officers are working on two theories. Popular opinion in the district where the abandoned car was found favors the foul play the- ory. The other theory upon which officers are working is that Knight, unaccustomed to the desert, became overloaded and bewildered. It fs believed that in this condition he may have deserted his car and start ed walking in a semi delirious con- dition.
 N1dfiy IuInuTS ConCtTniHE ctrdu8t parties who might be implicated are afloat in the vicinity of the disap- pearance. One report tells of a man and woman seen in the company of Knight shortly before his disappear ance. Another story tells of two prospectors who had cast covetous eyes upon the display of wealth which Knight made. Sheriff Mont gomery said that he had investigated many of these rumors and had found nothing to them.

ALL WESTERN STATES.
 JOIN HANDS IN FIGHT. OV HAY-GRA|N RATES.

Concerted action by western states in the fight for an adjustment of freight rates on hay and grain from all points west of the Mississippi river to points Of consumption was planned at conference of state cor poration commissioners and their representatives at Chicago last We'd nesday and Thursday, Amos A. Betts. a member of the Arizona commits sion, declared upon his return to Phoenix yesterday morning. MT. Betts was delegated to represent Ari- zona at the Chicago conference and was named member of a committee to lead the fight before the interstate commerce commission August 15.
 Existing freight rates threaten the hay and grain industry of the west" Mir. Betts said. Unless an adjust ment is made by the interstate com merce commission, the very back bone of the farming industry of the west will be broken" he continued.
 Farmers cannot afford to pay present rates under present market conditions. The products will not stand for such charges as are being assessed by the railroads to trans port the crops from the producing centers to the consuming centers. The rates are unreasonable as com pared with market prices"
 All western states have agreed to join in presenting their case before the interstate commerce commission, MT. Betts said, with each state re- serving the right to argue matters peculiar to that district.
 Corporation commissions of nine western states were represented by commissioners at the Chicago con- ference. while many other commits sions sent representatives, Mir. Betts said.
 The case is of unusual interest to cooperation of Arizona farm bu- reaus will be solicited to aid in the fight, Mir. Betts continued. Farm bu- reaus of all states are to be invited to participate and the American Farm Bureau association. with head quarters at Chicago. has already be- come actively interested in the move
 T will place facts Of the case be- fore representatives of Arizona hay interests today and ask that they send at least one representative to Washington for the hearing August 15.' MT. Betts said last night.
 That the interstate commerce com- mission is attaching much import ance to the hearing at Washington is evidenced. Mir. Belts said. by the fact that a member of the commission will conduct the hearing. rather than one of the examiner. Commissioner Lewis will hear the arguments, he said. Mir. Lewis is one of the new members of the commission and be- fore his appointment was a member of the Indiana corporation commits sion.
