of ground squirrels. BY all
means every farmer should poi
son the squirrels on his farm be-
fore the young squirrels are born
If this is to be done this season
it must be done in the very near
future. Already in some Sec
tions of the county the young
have been born although they
may not have appeared above
ground as yet.
The following formula is very
effective for the poisoning of the
Columbia ground squirrel and is
recommended by the United
States Bureau of Biological Sur
vey:
Mix together dry, one ounce
of powdered strychnine (alka-
loid), one ounce of baking soda
Zone tablespoonful, one tea
spoonful of saccharine, and three
tablespoonfuls of flour. Add a
little cold water and stir
thoroughly to smooth creamy
paste. Apply this mixture TO
eight OF ten quarts of clean oats
and mix thoroughly to destri-
butte the poison evenly over each
grain of oats. Each quart of
the poisoned grain is sufficient
for from forty to sixty bats.
This quantity scattered Zone tea
spoonful to a place. along SOUR
rel trails, or on clean hard sur
faces near the holes will not en-
danger livestock.
CAUTION, All poison contain
ers and all untensils used in the
preparation of poisons should be
kept plainly tabled and out of
reach of children, irresponsible
persons and livestock.
The United States Bureau OF
Biological Survey cooperating
with the University of Idaho
Extension Division and tn e
County Farm Bureau will furn-
ish poison to farmers at cost.
This can be obtained through
the County Agricultural Agent
C. NJ. Grayson at Grangeville,
Idaho. Also the Bureau of
Biological Survey cooperating
with the University Extension
Division is in a position to furn-
ish poison grain. without cost,
for any nontaxable lands which
may join land which is being
farmed. This poison will be
furnished providing the farmers
adjacent to the public lands are
willing to provide the necessary
labor required for the spreading
of the poison. d. d. Green of
the u. S. Bureau of Biological
Survey will be in Idaho county
from May 9Th to Goth to super
wise the mixing and distribution
of this poison for public lands.

vile, has accepted the invitation
to address the people of Cotton
wood on commencement night.
May 25th. The full program will

There are 81 tuition pupils in
the Cottonwood high school MAX
ing a total contribution to the
Cottonwood district of $3.50 and
this much further, not one of
these outside pupils has with
drawn since entering. Further
more of a total enrolment in the
high school of 63 to date only 5
have dropped out. Not many
high schools made such a good
record as that.

fair to be the largest ever finish
ing in the Cottonwood high school
They are juniors.
Ask yourselves What is the
matter with the Cottonwood
high school any way? What? For
that matter what is the matter
with the public schools from top
to bottom? Come out to all the
doings and then tell each other
and us.

CARNIVAL WILL BE
HELD IN JANUARY

Sometime in January Chandler
will stage mammoth celebration,
known as the Chandler Progress
Carnival when the entire state and
Salt River Valley is invited as guests
to a two day celebration that is be-
ing given as a dedication of the
city's new paved streets. Chandler
is the first city in the valley TO pave
the streets with cement. All OF the
main streets of the town have been
finished and are now ready for use.
The town has been attractively dec
Grated with banners and bunting
suggestive of a gala day.
In addition to the paved roads
that are part Of the huge country
paving program and is so linked up
with the rest of the valley that a
few minutes will bring one to any
of the surrounding towns. These
roads are so laid out that they serve
the largest number of people and af-
ford splendid highways for the mar
keting of products and the quick ham
ding of all goods.

CHANDLER, NEWEST CITY IN THE
SALT RIVER Valley IS ONE Of
THE STATES 'SBUS|EST AND BEST

tel at an expense OF over 100000
This hotel is one of the most mod
ern in the entire Southwest and is
one of the leading tourist hotels of
the state. Here the guest may find
all the conveniences that it is pos
sible to incorporate under one roof
In addition to the splendid hotel, a
wonderful 18 hole golf course has
been constructed and during the win
ter moths when the beautiful Ari.
zona sunshine bursts forth, the golf
enthusiast may play to his hearts
content.
Another feature has been added to
beautify the town in that two parks
have been made in the center OF
town upon which all business houses
and the San Marcos hotel front. And
| beautiful walks have been construct
ed through the rows of evergreen
trees and this will always stand as
landmark in the town.
Soil Second to None
. The soil in the Chandler district
is second to none in richness of con-
tent and crop productivity. Intensive
cultivation has shown that abundant
crops may be raised and harvested
with profit to the farmer. This, cou-
pied with the long growing season,
permits the raising of a wide varia-
tion of crops and the mild winters
allow fields TO be productive the full
u months of the year.
Alfalfa is one of the most impor-
tant crops of the district. and one
may sec vast acreage planted to this
and great yields produced. Cotton is
another important crop and the land
has been unusually productive for
this crop. 1t is south of Chandler
that the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
company has its large holdings that
are planted to cotton for the prIr-
pose of producing cotton for fabric
to be used in the manufacture of
tires. Other crops that are raised
in the district successfully are bar
ley, wheat, oats, milo maize, canta-
loupes, watermelons. lettuce and
fruits such as apricots, peaches. figs
and pears.
In connection with cotton 1t is said
that Dr. Chandler was one of the
first, if not the first to grow long
staple cotton in the valley. DR.. Chan
dler was induced to plant some long
staple cotton by a government man
who sent the seed from Washington;
this was in the year 1899. The ground
was prepared much in the way 1t now
is the seed planted and cultivated
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

properly. The crop came on healthy
and produced an abundant crop.
When picking time came several
forms of labor were employed, but
all proved unsuccessful, so the enter
prise was abandoned and the crop
plowed under, the industry being de-
veloped to its present status at
later date.
Much Livestock
The Chandler district is the home
of the livestock industry with its
mild winter climate and with pas
ture available the year round. A vast
number of hogs are raised in this
district and many cattle and sheep
are brought down from the highlands
each winter to Craze on the abun-
dant pasture and this, with the aid
of silos, places them in proper con-
dition. Although poultry has not yet
assumed large proportions, 1t has
proven successful. Turkeys also do
well, as they thrive on feed furnished
by roaming over the fields.
Although agriculture is the main
industry in the Chandler district. the
town also has much to be proud of,
having the largest canning and fruit
preserving factory in the entire
Southwest. This factory, the home of
Lewis Homemade products, is a large
institution and has done much to
produce fruit culture in the district
There are two gins of 20 stand ca
pacity and an ice plant which do well
to make up a thriving commercial
community The town proper has
not overlooked every convenience to
the customer in being able to sup
ply the demand of the trade. There
are numerous and attractive dry
goods stores, grocery stores, hard
ware stores, garages, hotels, restau
rants, drug stores, lumber yards and
a moving picture theater. There is a
plentiful supply of water available
at all times and gas for heating and
cooking is furnished the town at
very low rate.
The Chandler schools stand out as
among the foremost of the state and
have been centralized into one dis
trict, under one head and a splendid
corps of teachers has been employed
to direct and carry on the work sue
cessfully. The enrolment at the pres
ent time is in excess of 900 in the
grammar school and 200 in the high
school The teachers, 35 in number,
are all graduates OF university or
normal schools. In addition to the
regular course of study, manual
training, domestic science, agricul-
ture, music, military training and
commercial work is offered. The
grammar school is of the unit sys-
TEN, of one story construction, with
a beautiful type of architecture, and
in the past year over $4,000 in inn
provements have been made. The
high school is now occupying two
buildings and main building with
an auditorium and adjoining class
rooms is under construction and
when completed the plant will have
cost in excess of $250,000.
Great Civic Interest
There are four very active lodges
in Chandler, also a post of the Amer
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

lean Legion that is a strong booster
for the community and does much
to provide amusement and takes a
great interest in civic matters. There
is a parent-teacher association, la
dies aid society, an Episcopal guild,
a woman's club and a farm bureau.
These various organizations in their
activities do much to further the in
terests of Chandler.
Chandler has one of the livest
chambers Of commerce in the entire
state and are always at the head of
some effort to make Chandler pro-
gressive and wider known throug-
out the country. All the leading
citizens and business houses are
members Of the chamber and are so
enthusiastic about meetings that the
secretary has little trouble in getting
the club together to transact business.
In a recent drive that was conduct
ed by the club for membership some
$4,000 was derived for the use Of the
coming year The club maintains its
own quarters and at all times main
tains paid secretary to transact
any and all business that comes up.
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

Chandler, the newest city in the
Salt River valley, is located % miles
southeast of Phoenix and seven miles
south of Mesa. At the present time
the town of Chandler boasts of a pop
ulation of 1000 people and a trib-
utary population many times larger.
1t is in the heart of one OF the most
fertile districts Of the entire valley
and at the present time $4,000 acres
surrounding the town come under the
Roosevelt project, while many thou
sands Of acres south and east Of the
town receive their water from pump
ing plants.
Chandler has grown from an al
falfa field to one of the principal
towns of the Salt River valley in
the past nine years. Previous to
1912 the land upon which Chandler
now stands was a part OF the beau
tiful cattle ranch belonging to DR..
A. ]. Chandler. He subdivided the
land and laid out streets and lots
and these were placed on the mar
ket. The building of the town was
rapid ard while in the course of con-
struction the future was we'll cared
for. The type of construction was
substantial and the buildings are we'll
built, uniform and fireproof. How
ever In building the business blocks
the residences were not neglected,
as some of the finest homes are To-
Gated In Chandler and no expense
has been spared in making them con-
venient, comfortable and beautiful
All Must Be Modern
When the town was first con-
structed a building restriction was
made that all the business district
must build modern buildings with
high ceilings, good display windows
attractive fronts and uniform type
Of pergolas fronting on the main busi-
ness square.

and to show his faith in the future

FIRST ORANGE PAINTINGS

One of the valleys best beloved cit
izens, w. j. Murphy, introduced the
first orange paintings into the Salt
River Valley about 1887. These or
ange groves are thriving today, at
testing the care of their owner
through trying times. They are only
part of the attractions which the Salt
River Valley owes to Mr.. Murphy,
for over a mile of its main thorough
fare, Central avenue. is lined with
Arizona ash and olive trees planted
years ago and kept alive during the
dry years by water hauled in barrels
by this splendid citizen.

TWO GREAT RAILROADS

The Salt River Valley is served by
two of the great transcontinental
railroads, the Southern Pacific and
the Santa Fe. The traveller bound
for Phoenix or one of the other towns
of the vicinity via the Santa Fe,
leaves the main line at Ash Fork and
a days ride through the mountains
brings him to the groves and pastures
of the Promised Land. Travellers via
the Southern Pacific transfer to the
Phoeni branch at Maricopa and reach
the valley after As minutes ride
across the desert.
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01
PLANT EVERY MONTH

For the home gardener, the almost
endless variety of vegetables which
may be grown in the Salt River VAL
ley, and the fact that they may be
grown IN the Fall, Winter and Spring,
when the gardens of the East are
dormant, is decidedly advantageous
to Salt River Valley farms or back
yard gardeners. Something may be
planted each month of the year and
something natures each month. In
the midsummer months, June, July
and August. there is less garden ac-
tivity than in the other nine months
of the wear.
