FIRE PROTECTION OF
THE STATE HOUSE

City Fire Marshal George I. Basil
has led the way TO SECURE better pro-
lection against fire to the State Capt.
tol building. as well as surrounding
property AT last nights meeting OF
the City Council, Mr.. Basil presented
petition in which he urged that the
State be asked to provide and install
a sprinkler water system in the dome
OF the State House as a solution to
the possible danger of fire by light
ming or other causes.
The petition received the approval
of the Council and action was taken
looking to placing the matter before
the present session of the Legisla-
ture probably in the form of a reso-
luton. asking for an Appropriation
to carry the project into effect
The sprinkler system is an auto
matte contrivance used in many big
buildings of the larger cities In the
event of an outbreak Of fire. water
is turned on automatically when it
reaches certain temperature.

FIRST CHERRIES OF
SEASON ARRIVE HERE

Black cherries from California be-
gan to arrive on the local market last
week according to James George of
the Farmers Produce company, 107
West Jefferson street. The cherries
are. coming to replace strawberries
which are fading from the market.
This will probably be about the last
week for strawberries but those on
t''a market. both local and imported
are of very excellent quality
Arizona apricots are in big demand
this season. The Farmers Produce
company received a wire last week to
ship all apricots possible to coast
concern and similar requests were re-
ceived from other sources. The crop
here is good and several shipments
were made last week.
New potatoes are now plentiful on
the local market Those produced
in this valley are OF excellent variety
and are enjoying an especial demand.
The new crop is retailing at 5 cents
q pound.
Other local produce which ap-
peared on the market last week in
cluded string beans and new peas.
Both quality and quantity is all that
can be desired.

RANCHERS FIND
PROFIT IN CROP
ROTATION HERE
Authority Sees Gradual
Return to Methods By
w h i c h Rancher Gets
Quick MoneV Returns

Harvesting of, the earliest grain
started last week in the Chandler
district and is being followed up in
other sections under very favorable
conditions. according to Ben Stanton.
manager OF the Phoenix Seed and
Feed company. Wheat promises to
be the leader of the grain crop. One
reason for this is the fact that
weather conditions have been espe-
cially conducive to it's development.
While the valley is not back to its
pre-war grain acreage. the average
yield per acre promises to surpass
that of most other years. and Mr..
Stanton predicted that the results of
this crop will encourage the planting
of more acres next year.
Second crop hay is now arriving
on the local market. 1t is of very
high quality and may be expected to
bring good demand as soon as the
price is definitely established by the
hay committee of the farm bureau,
as in the case of the first hay crop
OF the season.
with these crops arriving in rota-
ton, the valley is getting back to the
old order" Mr.. Stanton explained.
This can no longer be termed one
crop valley and the rancher can be
assured of regular returns as the
season progresses and he follows one
planting with another. The object
today is to produce quick money
crops at fair profits rather than to
rely altogether on one crop to bring
III all tne financial returns to me
rancher. Diversification of crops i5
in full progress now and is pronlis-
ing stability to the agricultural de-
velopment of the valley"
Following the present grain iar-
vest, Mr. Stanton advises that milo
maize, fegari. corn. cowpeas. millet,
sudan grass and sorghum seed may
be PLANTED tc advantage. placing spe-
cial emphasis upon milo maize. which
lie charact erized as the staple feed
crop of the valley.
Mexican June corn and hegari are
the lopeica, silage crops and many
concrete silos are now being built to
store the winter feed. The value of
si!age is becoming nore and more
recognized as the oie. crop craze is
fading out and the idea of develop
nent through rota iCn of crops is
taking its place.

A REPUBLICANS WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIEW
Roger w. Babson Sees
Movement Toward Good
Business Is Gaining

reason why the banker, manufac-
turer, or merchant should be pes
simist or an optirnist today. Neither
the prosperity boomers nor the
calamity howlers should be followed.
Business has not yet turned the cor
ner, but it is naturally and steadily
approaching the corner. No nation
could go ,lryugh the great industrial
development which this country ex-
perienced curing the war without a
natural r.act on. This reaction We
are passing though today. We have
already reached the end of the de-
cline in the security markets. These
markets are well on their way up
ward. Within few months, con-
tinued M. Babson, 1--WE should reach
the end of the decline in general

and the spirit of service viii hasten

reflected in the index of the Bab-
sonchart shows an improvement of

STEEL GAINS
Steel output continues gaining
though badly crippled by coke short
age, Ingot production is nearing
$4,000. 900 tons year, against a pre-
war normal of about 3o000.000 tons.
Outlook is that mills will be oversold
in many semi finished lines by June.
CANADIAN MONEY
Discount on Canadian money is
down around / per cent That is,
Canadian dollar is worth 80 cents in
American money. In February, 1920.
it reached it's lowest. SO cents. The
gain reflects the rise in British eN-
change, also Canada's more favorable
position in world trade.
MORE COAL
Coal production is climbing. as
more non-union mines begin opening
to handle orders, But bituminous
production still is around 100000

as year ago.

SUPERIOR HIGHWAY
IS BECOMING MAIN
BUSINESS ARTERY

Business which formerly went to
distsrict is now coming to Phoenix
because of the excellent transporta-
ton facilities offered over the new
Superior highway according to b. II.
McAhren OF he Union Auto Trans
portation company who is in close
touch with all traffic over this i'm
portant commercial link
One indication of the increase in
business whichc Phoenix is enjoying
from the opening of this highway is
the fact that the Union Auto Trans
portation company has been obliged
oestablish twice a day service be-
tween the mining camps and the
state capital in place of the once a
day service v hich had been in oper
alton for many years. And in line
with this change the company has
also reduced rates, relying on the
increase of traffic to make up the
difference.
s'While many make the trip over
the Superior highway for the sheer
enjoyment of the enchanting scenery
the great majority of the passengers
trdVeilnS tn-S route now are DouHu
on commercial errands," McAhren
stated. This is in marked contrast
to the c.ass of passengers that for
merry rode the stages between Miami
and Phoenix. The long journey
over the un'mproved roads of the
Apache Trail was travelled mostly by
tourists Now while there are about
as many tour SITS as ever coming into
Phoenix from the mining district
there are also hundreds who make
the trip for strictly business pur-
poses and this is bringing material
benefits to both Phoenix and the
other cities with which the Superior
highway connects"
