of the system. The total savings for the year, according to these speakers, will come to about $250,00O.
 The financial side of the situation was presented by representatives of the local banks. C. N. Smith, secre- tary of the Arizona American -Egyp- tian Cotton Growers association, pre- scented plan for a financial guarantee to assist the banks in helping the farmers. ard o. s. Stapley also ad- vanced a proposal along the same lines. These presentations were dis cussed thoroughly, but it was finally agreed by the committee that this matter of financing is one to be ham dled entirely by the farmer and his l barker. and that while the various suggestions have distinctive merits, it l will be impracticable to adopt any of 1 them at the present time. The meet | ing also expressed appreciation of the | splendid manner in which the banks | had cared for the financing of the val | ley during the season.
 The cropping situation was placed l before the meeting py Dr. D. w. J Working and H. C. Heard, county | farm agent Their findings were sum- marized as follows:
 .Warring against the dangers of a sudden change in our agricultural sys-
 tenn. we believe that. as rapidly as IS
 consistent with good farm manage ment each farmer of the Salt River valley should so arrange his business i and his cropping system that no tless l than 50 per cert of his farm shall be
 seeded and kept in harry Peruvian i alfalfa; tha tnot more than 90 per cent ! of his land shall regu.arly be planted l 10 pure Pima cotton; that not less 1 than 20 nor more thar 40 per cent be 1 planted to grain crops of some kind
 Early Baart wheat should be at leasi
 a portion of this crop if piantings car
 be made before January 15, 1921, and
 January 1, in later years If forced
 to plart afte rthese dates, barleN should be given the preference over ] wheat: that, if not otherwise provided
 for grain sorghums. corn or othel
 forage should be planted immediately ] following the small grains. and tha
 sufficient livestock should be kept t'
 utilize the feed provided by this plan
