 MT. Heard Tells of Trip
 Dwight B. Heard then told in de- tail of his recent trip to Washington at the urgent request of the Arizc- na American Egyptian Cotton Crow CTS association, and of the two weeks work done there, and it's possible and probable result inseeurins an ade- quate tariff.
 No attempt was being made. he said, to erect barrier against for eign cotton. simply to secure a tariff to make up the difference between the cast Of production and exchat4gs and the different standards of living in this country and abroad in the cot ton districts of foreign countries.
 There is fine team play between the Arizona representatives, Mir Heard stated, regarding tkis matter. regardless of politics. The entire del egation went with MT. Heard to call on the president and present the matter to him and the cabinet.
 The new secretary of agriculture, Henry Wallace, already had recora- mended a higher tariff than is car ried in the emergency bill, and Her bert Hoover. sr secretary of commerce, is a grower of Pima cotton in the San Joaquin valley, and therefore personally aauainted with our proh- lems. said MT. Heard, and strongly in our favor in securing real protec- ton.
 He was assured by Senators Pen rose and Lodge that when the hear ing on the permanent tariff came up that Arizona would have the oppor- tunity to present her case, and it is certain that we will be able to secure a fair protection. Mir. Heard has considerable doubt that there will be any change in the rate pro- posed in the Fordney bill

 He closed his speech by a ring ing endorsement of the organization plan of the Arizona Pimacotton growers, and stated all lands con- trolled by himself and associates would be a part of the association.
