Use Same Plot for
Onions So Years
(By The Associated Prcss.)

Sac City, Iowa, April If. F.
Shutter, of Pleasant Valley, and his
father have grown onions continuously
ON the same ground for more than CT
years.
Onions. they say. are unlike other
garden vegetables in that they can be
grown on the same ground year after
year without affecting the soil. Onion
soil should be rich and free from weed
seed. The ground should be free and
loose, they claim.

 Arizona needs the right kind oi publicity. and needs it at once." said Professor FeIton. "The romantic side of Arizona such as depicted in novels and moving pictures, really does more
 harm than good, for it convinces out siders that this state has made no progress in almost half a century. I believe that magazines would be just as glad to use material that was up- to-date and showed the real progress the state is making as they are to use material that deals only with the romantic present and past of the state.
 Railroads are giving Arizona great deal of publicity; some of it is the right kind, too. Newspapers are also aiding in telling the world that Arizona is no longer a vast desert.
 The agricultural future should be in all publicity concern ing Arizona. for that future is filled with unlimited possibilities. I am con fident that cheap power will result in

Arizona is suffering, rather thaI benefitting from the brand of publi city it is now and always has received throughout the country, Prof. James l.. Felton. of the Tempe Normal, told members of the Luncheon Club yester day noon.
 
 The average Americans idea of Ari- zona, said Professor Felton, is that of a huge desert, broken up only by a few scraggling mountains, and infest- ed with bad men," Indians and rat uesnakes. He referred to many popu- lar works of fiction, the action of which was in Arizona, and declared that residents of other parts of the country could not be blamed for their false impressions of this state. Movies too, he said, usually give the impress sion that Arizona is still as wild and woolly as 20 or 30 years ago.
 The speaker read parts of a descrip ton of Arizona from the International Encyolopedia, which gravely discuss ed the geographical features of the state but made no reference to it's

ART TREASURES NOT INSURED

very large sum
