FILE FRIENDLY SUIT ID SETTLE SCHOOL
 WARRANT QUESTION

An alternative writ of n1andamus was issued yesterday by Judge Frank H. Lyman of the superior court di- recting A. L. Jones, county school superintendent to issue and deliver to David Morrison. head Janitor of the Phoenix grade schools. warrant for s125, drawn upon the county treasurer, to pay Morrison ou. of school funds to the credit of district No. I, which warrant will show when presented to the treasurer for pay ment the endorsement mo funds and shall bear interest at s per cent until paid. In event the warrant IS not issued Jones is cited to appear before Judge Lyman at 9:30 o'clock Wednesday morning to show cause why he has not done so.
 The writ was asked in friendly suit brought by Sims Ely, L. D. Dam- ero1 and W. c. Hornberger as trus- tees of school district No. l, the Phoenix grade schools, and David Morrison. The suit, according to Mir. Jones, has been brought to secure a court ruling on house bill s5, passed by the last legislat Jre, which pro- vides that the county school super intenderts may issue warrants on the treasurer, endorsing them mo funds which, when registered, will draw per cent interest where the school funds of any district are exhausted. The bill, as passed, does not require the warrants to be issued, MT. Jones said. and as the funds of school dis trict No. are now exhausted, court ruling on the matter will be the prec- edent for all future orders for war rants on the treasurer for salaries In the district.
 The trustees allege they gave Nor rison an order on Oct. for SIPS sal- ary due him. which he presented to Mr. Jones. MT. Jones, they say, re- fused to issue Morrison warrant on the treasurer. At present the trustees allege there is no money in the county treasury to the credit of school district No. 1 applicable to the payment of such warrants, and un- less the county school superintend- ent will draw warrants on the treas urer. endorsing them mo funds" to bear interest of per cent, on orders from the trustees to him for the salaries of teachers and other sal aried employees of the district. the trustees declare they will be unable to secure the services of competent teachers and other employees in the district For that reason, the trustees aI1ege, they are deeply interested in the matter. The Issuance of such warrants they claim is duty en- joined upon the county school super intendent by law and his office.

STATE EXPERIMENTAL FARM TO HOLD FIELD DAY ON OCTOBER !.

Visitors will be shown results of work being done at the State Experi- mental farm. one mile west of Mesa, next Friday, when field day will be held. This will be an all-day event to which farmers and their wives are invited to bring dinners and enjoy an old-fashioned basket picnic.
 Following Is brief resume of some of the work being done at the farm:
 It is perhaps not generally known that more than 800 varieties of fruit are being tested at the Salt River valley experiment station. This vari- ety orchard was set during the spring of 1919, and with the practice of special methods of pruning several of the trees bore the second year. Many of them have produced good crops this year, indicating rather clearly their adaptability to Salt River valley conditions. The orchard should be of increasing interest to the people of the valley.
 In addition to the tree fruits, the station paintings contain 100 varie- ties of grapes, the majority of which have borne crops this season and fur
 
 view of the interest being manifested at present in grape growing in the Salt River vaHey, these variety tests are timely. The station is also con- ducting an experiment, using six diff ferent methods of pruning. It cannot be taken for granted that the prun- ing practices of California are en- tirely suited to Arionza conditions; consequently the results of these tests should furnish useful informa- ton. While the experiment has been running only two years. some indi- cation of the comparative value of the different methods of pruning grapes is already evident.
 Another valuable piece of work be- ing conducted at the station farm consists in eight pruning tests with tree fruits. including peaches, plums, apricots, apples, and citrus. In view of the various pruning practices in vogue in the state at present. this experiment should clear up many doubtful points on this subject. The work is not sufficiently advanced to show conclusive results, but it is at an interesting stage.
 For the past three years the sta- ton has been carrying on an experi- ment in storing sweet potatoes, using dfl eSDeClcttly SOiSliQNtSQ dotyc tiVo7S for the purpose The results have conclusiyelv demonstrated the prac- ticability of commercial sweet potato storage in this state. The fact that the sweet potato can be successfully stored in large quantities makes it a staple food product: and since Ii is so well adapted to our conditions | it Is deserving of greater attention as a cash crop in southern Arizona. During the field day exercises members of the horticulture depart ment of the university will be present to explain and discuss the different nhases of all the horticultural work being conducted at the station. Some of the varieties of fruit will be avail able for observation, particularly late varieties of grapes and peaches.

The boys in the vocational agri- cultural class have been busy the past week finishing the addition to pairing some or the desks, making benches, tables and shelves for the school and doing minor work in car pentry.
