N. P. B. F. Man Here

S. Fred Cummings, of the
state of Illinois. representative
of the National Farm Bureau
Federation, gave a lecture here
Wednesday night. He stated
that if the farmers in the future
expect to get their just rights in
the way of prices for their pro-
ducts that by legislation is the
proper method for them to do
so; that the Federation is COM
posed of over four million men,
bers this includes the farm
ers' wives and they should see
to it that men are put into Office
who will give them square deal.
Mr.. Cummings is and excellent
speaker and his remarks were
we'll received.

S. R. Valley Farmers
Returning to Normally

Here in Salt River valley the
farmers are returning to diver
sitied crops instead of cotton
which takes all the season to
grow it and the next year to
find market. About 40 per
cent of cotton compared to last
year, or 65, 900 acres, is the es-
innate for the season. The al
falfa area is to be increased
from $4,000 acres to 40, 900.
More small grain than usual has
been sown, part of it for grain
hay.
Cantaloupes will be grown
about as usual and the lettuce
harvest is on, shipping by the
carload.
The general idea is to increase
the dairy stock, fill the silos and
grow TWO crops a year instead
of one Of doubtful value.
Cotton will be continued as a
side crop, at least until the turn
can be made to alfalfa, the
dairy COW. truck farming and
increased vineyards.
More acres will be cultivated
this year than last and labor will
be needed uniformally through
out the year instead of an orgie
of cheap labor in the fall to pick
cotton.
Old hay is selling to make way
for the new crop that will be
ready in sixty days. The future
is bright and farmers are just
getting back to normalcy. They
put on quite cotton party last
year. This will not be repeated.
Safety first is to be the motto
instead of putting everything on
the ace as wss done in 1920. -
Phoenix Messenger.

Arizona's Progress

The final figures on the popu-
lation of Arizona recently issued
by the bureau of the census af-
ford reason for no little pride in
the advancement we have made
in the last ten years and, for
that matter, since we first fig
ured in the census of 1870.
The average increase in popu-
lation for the entire United
States was fourteen and nine
tenths per cent in the decade
from 1910 to 1920, while Ari-
iona made an increase of sixty
three and one-half per cent. her
population in 1910 being 204, 334
and in 1920 rising to 334, 1872.
1t may also be noted that this
increase was almost as great as
that which occurred between
1900 and 1910. the figure for
that decade being sixty-six and
two-tenths per cent.
To make the figures above
more complete, it may be added
that the area of the state is Off
cially given as 113, $40 square
miles, making the density of
population 20 persons p r
square mile. There are four
teen counties in the state, 355
election precincts and 40 unor-
ganized townships.

Forest Service EmplOye
Joins HOIbrOOk B. |.

Herbert Chain, manager Of
the Holbrook Business Institute,
was a pleasant caller yesterday
at the Herald office. He and his
wife had come over frOm Hol-
brook the night before, both on
a business and pleasure trip, and
to get acquainted with Snow
flake good folks. In the course
of his conversation with a Her
aid representative, Mr.. Chain
took occasion to say that the
Institute was progressing nice
ly and gives promise of being a
great success. He also informed
us that A. G. McCloskey, for
nine years past connected with
the U. S. Forest Service, would,
on or about April Is, identify
and associate himself with the
HOlbrook Institute as one of it's
instructors and representatives.
We of Snowflake and sur
rounding country are too we'll
acquainted with Mr.. McCloskey
and his high qualities, expert
ence and skill in studies con-
nected with a business college
to undertake to enumerate them.
However, we compliment Mr..
Chafin in being able to secure
the services of Mr.. McCloskey
and of his being connected with
that institution.
Manager Chain was desirious
to announce through the columns
of the Herald that upon very
careful investigation concerning
the character and capabilities of
Mr.. McCloskey he had found
from people throughout t h e
county that he was just the man
he was looking for, and seemed
very pleased of his find" He
stated he found that Mr.. Nc
Closkey was well qualified by
long practicable experience to
teach such subjects as short
hand, typewriting, commercial
arithmetic, business forms, book
keeping, business correspond
ence, etc.
The Herald wishes the HoI-
brook Business Institute success
and prosperity in their new and
worthy field of making of our
young boys and girls valuable
business men and women, not
only in this section, but where
ever they may be obliged to go
to earn an independent and a
well-paid livelihood.
