Stuff Around Town
Signs II Spring.

Despite the fancied or real man.
euvers of the ground hog a few
weeks ago, the weather of the last
few days has been such as to Danish
%overcoats, spoil the coal market, and
cause the appearance of spots OF
yellow in the lapels of numerous
coats. Also the warm sunshine has
awakened in the minds of many sus-
poets the inherent or acquired
thoughts of a garden with its beans
and onions and collards and spinach.
And with such thoughts the next
thing is the acquiring of certain nee
essary tools with which to wage the
fight for the infant plants against
the marauding tendencies Of neigh:
boring chickens. The birds have al
ready searched out the crooks and
crannies that will shelter a prospec-
tive brood and have already started
the herculean labor Of transporting
material for building. The dropping
of awnings not moved for some
months lets fall a shower of straws
and sticks ard hairs collected by
these same industriously early nest
builders. The Dubious jonquil has put
forth it's fragrant blossoms in a
hundred front yards giving spots Of
color to the erstwhile brown and
green lawns. February is not gone
and March is yet to come but the
feeling that spring is here has al
ready taken possession.

high, when federal taxation is SO
Imposed as to eat up investment
funds, nobody can make a magic by
repeating some formula. Just to say
business is good won't make it good
But this is true: A mans attitude
can make a situation a whole lot
worse than it really is, it can make
a situation a whole lot better than it
otherwise would be.
The man who says, "oh, what's the
use? Business is rotten" will GER
itainly find it rotten. The man who
says, "Well conditions aren't so
worse. There is really a lot Of bust
ness to be had by working for it and
I'm going to get my share I'm going
to make good.
A lot of people have been spoiled
by the easy money of the last few
years. A motor a salesman didn't
have to go out and sell his cars. Gus
toners came in and begged to be put
on the waiting list. Now that he has
to comb the town for customers he
is apt naturally to feel aggrieved. =
We have to recognize that the days
Of quick and big profits are gone.
We have got to get out and hustle
for what we get. But things aren't
so bad but what if we do this we can
make a showing. Somebody proposed
tho motto last year, Nineteen TWEEN
ty-one will reward fighters" 1t did.
The same thing Is true of this year.
The country has been through
worse periods than this. It went
through a long n in the '70s, and
another in the '90s. People weren't
fortified then as they are now by
years of big prosperity just behind.
This big, rich country, with all it's
natural resources and it's energetic
and intelligent population, isn't broke
or anywhere near it. There is an
enormous amount of work to be done.
There is a vast amount of capital
on hand. The West has suffered it's
depression with the drop in from
prices. But it has gone to rock bot
tom and is on the upgrade. Besides;
the farmer has this big advantage
over the Industrial worker Of the
East. When the farm demand slows
down the farm plant still keeps run
ming and maintains the family Of the
farmer. When the factory closes, the
industrial worker has nothing to fall
back On.
We aren't out in a desert. We are
IN the midst or a great producing
region. There are plenty Of opportu-
mites for the diligent. The man who
assumes there is business to be had
and goes after it, who doubles his
the face of disappointment,
who is r~esourceful, and on the job
every minute don't worry about
him. He will get his share.
The business is right here in Kan
sas City. Not for the man who lies
down. Not for the man who is easily
discouraged. But it's here for the
man who will work to get it!-Kan-
sas City Star.

H RADIO

SSAAS
and it is an institution that is des-
tined to come to the same sort OF
popularity as the moving picture
theatre, says The Charlotte Observ-
er in an editorial. 1t is the enter
prise of the amateur wireless opera
tors that is bringing this new fea-
ture in social entertainment to the
front, and we are not surprised to
learn, as we do from The Gazette,
that our neighboring town of Gas
tonia, which enjoyed the privileges
of a wireless station in the early
DAYS Of the war, is foremost among
the movers for a wireless theatre.
The spread of the radio service has
been somewhat hampered by gov
ernmentai restrictions, but the TO-
600 amateur operators in this coun-
try are now moving on President
Harding and Secretary Hoover with
the determination to have some of
these restrictions removed. They
are standing on firm ground, be-
cause the radio is developing not
only as a social agency, but as an
institution of great possible good to
the agricultural sections. It will not
be- long until every farmer who has
a telephone in his home can also
have his radio outfit, and keep as
well posted on the news of the day,
including the state of the markets,
as 'the city. man."
Secretary Hoover has indicated
that the restrictions now complain
ed of are not intended as a perma-
nent arrangement, but that the
Department Of Commerce is work
ing on plans by which the radio ser
vice will be promoted practically
unlimited. The Experimenter Pub
fishing Co., of New York, is coming
nobly to the assistance of the anna
teuts, and it states that the plans
under Amusement by Secretary
Hoover look to authorizing anna
teurs desiring the broadcast, if
such ~broadcasting is of public bene-
fit, to use the wave length of 200
meters at certain specified times,
so as not to interfere with the exist
ing amateur radio telegraph SER
vice; second, to all amateurs to
broadcast, only on It's or 225
meters leaving the 200 meter wave
length open to regular communica-
ton service. If it is decided to au-
thorize broadcasting on ITS meters
this authority can be included in
their. present regular amateur sta
ton, licenses will be necessary.
But the situation now seems to
rest Oh the point of whether the
Department of Commerce can legal
ly restrict the use of amateur sta
tons for broadcasting while legis-
lation to that effect is only being
considered and how long will their
stations be thus restricted pending
the enactment of the proposed legis-
lation which if it follows the usual
courss from pigeon hole TO pigeon
hole may keep their stations silent
for moaths or even years.

Our Opportunity
To PrOUe LOYALTY

For a long time there has been a
lot Of fuss about the people Of Ari-
zona using products Of other states
instead of home products. Some of
this criticism has been Just and some
unjust. It is now up to the farmers
and gardeners to determine whether
or not the people will eat Arizona
products or those from other states.
At the recent farm and home week
meeting at the University Of Tucson,
through the efforts OF the Arizona
Industrial Congress, a number Of the
mines, smelter companies, railroads
and other interests sent their pur-
chasing agents to the meeting and
they all declared their Willingness to
buy Arizona products in preference
to those from the outside. However,
the willingness on the part of the big
Interests to buy and the people to
Nse home products is only one side
>of the question--that is their side.
Our side Is to Systematically grow,
grade, pack and ship. Unless we
can do this, all the talk will gain
nothing. Now the mines are open
ing. win possibly al pe open in q
few months. AS agreed, these pur-
chasing agents viii send us large or
ders. We will have orders for car
loads Of products, and unless the pro-
ducers organize at once and go about
providing a, regular, dependable suAk
ply we will not be in position to fill
orders. and as a result the companies
will have to look elsewhere for a de-
pendable supply where they can be
sure they can get what they want
when they want It,
M Now is our chance to get, busy and

!. a LIVING MApE An HOME

IS surprise to many people
wv come here from other parts of
tHe country where a living is made
~ home, to see how few farmers
make any effort to grow the things
needed Tor the daily table. You very
olten travel for several miles With
out seeing garden or any signs of
an effort to have one. Many have
no chickens, pigs, turkeys, etc. The
farmer who has a home garden and
really goes in to make 1t a success,
keeps a COW. raises a few pigs, keeps
q good sized flock OF hens, raises
some turkeys, has a home orchards,
with fruit dried and canned, cows
70 furnish plenty Of milk, cream and
butter, with a little surplus of these
commodities to sell. will find that it
does not take near so much money
70 get by ON. In fact, if family has
all OF these things, there is not much
else they Just have to have.
The town man has to have a pretty
good salary TO buy plenty of Yege-
tables, fruits, fresh, canned and
dried fresh eggs, milk. cream, but
ter, fried chicken, turkey for Thanks
giving and again Christmas. In fact,
the salary usually runs too low to
have a full supply OF these things,
yet with real effort, all of these
things can be had in this country on
the farm . Every home garden in
sures a better living at a cheaper
price. Every farm should have a
home garden.

Many interesting meetings are
being held throughout the valley
each week In the different farm
bureau locals. Many seasonabie
topics are UP for consideration. The
Gilbert and Chandler districts are
taking the lead in pushing Tor
hav and grain organizations to be
ready to handle the present years $
crop.
The locals have been instructed by
the county board of directors to APP
point three representatives from
each local TO meet February 9th TO
work out plans for a hay organiza-
ton as the hay is the first crop ready
for market. This will be followed at
once by the organization of the grain
growers. The Lehi district Is much
Interested in an organization 10

Tempe local is getting up a program
of work for their district, covering
several months with seasonaple
topics arranged for all regular meet
ings and committees appointed to be
responsible for each program. The
washington district finds that this
plan works beautifully and since they
have put it into operation have no
trouble in getting good crowds. a
number of districts are going to put
the plan in operation.
Members of the Buckeye valley
farm bureau which has always met
at Buckeye think it best TO organize
two other locals, one at Palo Verde
and another in the east end of the
valley as only one local for the en-
tire territory makes it necessary for
some to go a long distance. II is eX-
pected TO organize these new locals

Comparative Yields of Pima and
Upland cottons at saeaton,
Yield seed cotton

The paintings comprised a one
uarter acre plat of each variety and
the actual yields were multiplied by
4 in order to present them as yields
per acre. The Upland varieties in
cluded in the test were those which
have given the alost satisfactory re-
suits under southwestern conditions.
In length of staple, the Durango va
riety reaches 1M inches under fav-
orable conditions, Acala / 3-16 inches
and Lone Star 1-8 inches, but very
often the fiber is shortened from
1-16 to 1-8 of an inch by adverse
conditions.
The lint percentages We're deter
mined by careful weighing and gin
ming of representative samples from
each Of the plats in 1921. The lint
percentages were separately deter
mined on each picking, there having
been three pickings from the Pima
plat and two picSings on the plats OF
each Upland variety The figures as
given in the table are the averages
for the several pickings. No deter
limitations of lint percentage We're
made at Sacaton in 1920, and the
1921 percentages were therefore used
in computing the yield of lint per
acre from the yield of seed cotton per
acre in 1920.
1t will be seen that in both years
pima gave a considerably heavier
yield than Durango. The Lone Star
variety, which can scarcely be con-
1 sidered as belonging to the long
staple class Of cottons, gave higher
/ lint yield than Pima both in 1920 and
4 in 1921, although the difference in
| 1921 amounted to only 55 pounds per
acre. The Acala variety, which was
not included in the 1929 experiment,
outyielded Pima in 1921 by only q
pounds of lint per acre.
In 1921 the Pima may have been
favored in a very slight degree, as
4 compared with the other varieties, by
/ having been grown on land which
was planted to alfalfa in 1920. al
though the stand was so poor that
