grape producing area Of the south
west in point of ripening. The quail
ity Of the grapes We produce is en-
tirely satisfactory and we can COM
pete on an equal basis with any other
region whose fruit ripens at the same
time as ours, while we have an ad-
vantage over districts which tend to
be later.
It Is entirely possible thai enough
grapes may be planted in the Salt
River, Imperial, Yuma and Casa
Grande valleys to overstock the
market on fresh grapes during July
and early August, prior to the time
our machinery Of distribution is
adapted to the quantity we might
produce. it is not difficult to imagine
a. year or two Of markets more or less
demoralized when our production be-
comes heavy, and it seems desirable
to point out the wisdom of going into
grapes conservatively. 1t is the COM
bined opinion of most people, however
that the grape industry promises to
be very profitable for the Salt River
valley in the future.
Recent figures have been published
showing that there are fewer poultry
in Arizona per unit of population than
is true Of the United States as a
whole, Arizona, according to census
returns, has an average of one and
one half hens per person, while the
per capita average of the United
States is nearly three and one-half.
It seems, therefore, that our poultry
industry would be greatly improved
if it were expanded to at least double
it's present size. Marketing would be
somewhat easier if our quantity of
production were greater. 1t is not at
all impossible to make very good
profits out of egg production, many
people figuring that, under a wise
system of management, an average of
81 or more per hen in excess of the
feed cost, may be reached.
The outlook for profitable produc-
ton of cotton is bright even in the
face Of our somewhat demoralized
markets. Because of our ability to
product the superior article we call
Pima cotton, and because of the linn
tied acreage which can be profitably
planted to this. variety, there seems
no reason to assume that it will fail
to be cne of our most profitable in

adaptation of the farmer. 1t is well.
however, to point out certain adyan-
tages which the Salt River Valley Of
fers in fruit production.
With a quality of citrus fruit, sec
ond to none in the United States, with
an earliness of grape fruit which
gives US the western market all to
ourselves during the fall and winter,
and with a reputation for grape fruit
which allows us to ship TO the farth-
est corners of the United States, it
is obvious that the grape fruit acre
age should be expanded to the limit of
soil adapted to grapefruit, lying in
belts sufficiently frost free to make it
a safe risk. With a Today advantage
over any other southwestern oranges
in point of earliness, the production
of Washington navels and certain
sweet seeded varieties is particularly
interesting. does not seem WISE
however, for the Salt River valley to
go very extensively into citrus fruit
which must be marketed in compe-
tition with similar fruit from the
California acreage. 1t does not ap-
pear likely that we can overdo pro-
duction OF those classes of citrus
fruits in which we have especial ad-
vantages over California.
Salt River apricots and plums are
ready for market about 10 days ahead
of any competitors. This is an ad-
vantage which must not be over
looked, for our marketing period is at
a time when consumers have been
without fresh fruit for many months,
and prices offered are very attractive.
Varieties of each should be well
chosen, including fruit of good flavor
and appearance which will stand
shipping and which is ready for
market as early as practicable. Sat
isfactory apricot varieties include
ROYALS, Blenheims and Hemskirke,
while if Newcastle or Moorparks are
to be planted at all they should be on
small scale which local demand
probably would take care Of.
Interesting plum varieties include
Shiro for the earliest market, with
the biggest acreage in Santa Rosas
and the remainder TO be divided be-
tween Climax, Japanese, Kelsey, Sat
suma and one or two other less
prominent varieties.
1t is well to emphasize a warning
that no one should put out single
acre of commercial apricots and
plums unless he has suitable soil, free
from such diseases as root rot, and
unless he will take care of his trees
after they are planted. There seems
to be no especial inducements in the
deciduous fruit business for the man
who will merely grow the stuff, but
the grower who will both produce and
market his products is able to make a
big financial success of it. The pres
ent status of the apricot and plum
business calls for the most careful
growing, packing in attractive pack
ages, rather than in any sort OF boxes
which may be found to be inexpen-
sive; grading with the utmost hon
esty, and packing in such a condition
that the fruit will arrive at its destin-
alton in good condition. Fruit to be
sold locally may be ripper than fruit
to be shipped to the eastern seaboard.
The deciduous fruit grower, too. must
be in a position to take care of the
business side of marketing. He must
expect to assume the details Of billing
and collecting and making adjust
ments where necessary. II he is fit
! ted to do all these things. apricots

FARM BUREAUS
HAVE DONE MUCH
FOR RURAL LIFE
IN SHORT PERIOD
Organization Still In In
fancy Has Made Rapid
Progress In Fostering
Advancement of Agri-
culture.

Although the Maricopa County
Farm Bureau is still in its infancy
1T already has made rapid strides in
the creation of a county wide organ
ization for enhancement and Inn
provement of agriculture in the Salt
River valley. The organization, which
was started on March /, 1920, at pres
ent is composed Of Is locals with a
total membership Of more than 1,400
and plans have been made to increase
the number OF locals to 20 with a
membership of more than 5000.
Through the passage of a bill by
the last state legislature which makes
the county farm bureau in the state
a legalized entity, closer cooperation
between the county organization and
the agricultural extension service OF
the University of Arizona has been
secured. Prior to the passage of the
bill the matter of cooperation be-
tween the two was a matter of choice.
Under the new law, the program OF
agricultural extension in the county
and state is created after being ap-
proved by the board of regents OF
the state university and this will ma
terially assist both the extension SER
vice OF the university and the farm
bureaus by making it a part of the
educational system OF the state uni
versity.
In organization, the farm bureau
work in the United States is very
similar to the governmental organ
ization of the nation. The smallest
unit in the farm bureau organization
is the county local, which in Mari
copa county has the same boundaries
in most cases as the county school
district. These locals are united to
form the county farm bureau and the
county farm bureaus are organized
into the state organization. The
states in turn form the American
Farm Bureau Federation, the con-
trolling body Of the work in the ma
ton. Because Of this interlaeing of
organizations. the farm bureau work
is uniform everywhere in the United
States.
lnterIocking Directorate
Each county unit has It's own Off
GERS, under whose direction the pro-
gram of work in the local is car

ried on. The presidents of the locals
in the county make the county board
of directors and the presidents OF
each county bureau are members of
the state board Of directors, and the
national beard of directors in turn
is composed of the presidents Of each
state organization. In addition to the
county officers in each state, the
United States department of agricul-
ture employs a county agent or agents
to cooperate with the county organ
fzation in the development of defi-
mite program of work that will bring
to the county a better economic, So
cial and educational condition as to
make farming more profitable and
country life more attractive.
The Arizona Farm Bureau Fedora
tion is composed of IL of the IA
counties In the state, there being no
county organization in ella and Mo-
have counties, both of which are ex-
clusively mining counties. The presi-
dent Of the state federation is G. S.
Brown. The Maricopa County Farm
Bureau is the largest county organi-
zation in the state. Fred TAFT is
president of the bureau and Fl. c.
Heard is the county agricultural
agent. The state federation was or
ganized in July, 1920, following the
formation of the. Maricopa county
bureau in March, 1920. The national
federation was accomplished about
two years ago.
The farm bureau grew from a de-
sire on the part Of the farmer for
better production. 1t had it's begin
ming Iii the south in 1908, when dem
onstration agents were hired to teach
the Gotten farmers to fight the boil
weevil and the first farm bureau in
the United States was organized eight
years later in the north. AT present
there are As states cooperating in a
national farm bureau program with
a membership Of 100000 farmers.
Formed for Service
The mission Of the farm bureau Is
to give service and it does not aim
to replace any other organizations
The entire upkeep of the county farm
bureaus and the state federations
uniformly apportioned, costs the
farmer less than one cent per acre
including federal, state and county
appropriations and membership fees
One half to two thirds of the finances
necessary to support the county agent
movement come from public funds
appropriated to maintain the agricul-
tural extension work carried or
through farm bureaus, but no public
funds go to the support of the state
or American farm bureau federations
The farmer has been taught by the
county farm bureau the great ad-
Yantages which come to him through
organization, and he demands his in
terests be effectively represented al
the council tables of the nation anC
he is willing to make proper financia
provision for such representation.
A greater part of the year that the
Maricopa County Farm Bureau ha:
been in existence has been devoted tt
perfecting the organization of th'
bureau. A few projects have beer
successfully carried out during thi:
period, one of which included cotton

and plums offer special inducements.
Except for canning and home de-
mand purposes. it does not seem wise
to put out much of an acreage of
peaches, since Salt River Valley
peaches have no especial advantages,
and because the home demand and
canning prices are usually lower than
shipping prices for high class fresh
fruit. 1t is desirable that the atten-
ton of deciduous fruit growers be
focused primarily upon apricots and
plums among the stone fruits.
Production of pears offers some in
ducements apd many discourage
ments. On a reasonable scale it is
possible that they may be financially
profitable, but the difficulties to be
overcome no doubt will keep the pear
acreage down to a point where for a
number of years local production will
not be greatly in excess of the local
demand.
There seems to be an excellent OPP
portunity for profitable fig culture.
This is a field which has not been
well sounded out. That we can grow
figs early and in great quantities has
been amply demonstrated Just what
what of a question, and marketing
methods will have TO be learned. The
grower who will see the fig business
through no doubt will be financially
successful at it, but he must take care
to open up his own market and to
learn great deal more than we now
know about proper disposal of has
products. Canned and preserved f."
offer inducements which must not be
overlooked. After the fig business
has been properly pioneered, there is
no doubt that it should and viii re-
ceive considerable stimulus in the
Salt River Valley.
Many are interested in date grow
ing and it is possibly sufficient to
state that when there are available
sufficient number of off-shoots OF
desirable varieties to enable the
establishment of a date industry OF
fair size, it will be one of our most
profitable agricultural activities.
High prices for grapes during the
past few seasons have caused enough
interest in their propagation in the
Salt River Valley that little need be
said further than that we have a dis
tinct advantage over most OF the

OPPORTUNITIES IN
PLANNING THE FARM
BY n. c. HEARD
County Agricultural Agent

The development of agriculture in
the Salt River Valley should be SO
planned as to take advantage of our
opportunities and natural facilities.
A reasonable acreage should be de-
voted to fruits, and yet this acreage
should be well chosen. 1t is folly 10
attempt to say that each man should
have a 40-acre farm with 10 or Il
acres of fruit, 10 or II acres of cot
ton, 10 or IL acres devoted to dairy
production and the remainder to mis-
cellaneous crops. There are some
farms which no doubt could adopt
such O program satisfactorily. but the
crops for each particular farm should
depend upon such things are the type

reau to see these carried to COM
pletion.
Within the year, 1t is the aim Of the
bureau to have nearly all of the agri-
cultural industries in the valley CO.
operating with it in a definite pro-
gram of work for the advancement
and Improvement of the industry for
the aim of the bureau is to secure
greater production and through this
a larger income to the farmer. Among
the projects under consideration by
the Maricopa County Farm Bureau
are those of cooperative marketing,
transportation, finance and educa-
ton, through which it hopes to pro-
tect, promote and advance the inter-
ests of the farmer.
National Conferences
The calling OF national conferences
by the national Farm Bureau fedora
ton from time to time for special
conference on these matters has been
planned by the federation. Two such
national conferences have already
been called and from them grew the
grain marketing organization known
as the u. S. Grain Growers, Inc, and
the American Cotton Growers Ex-
change, for the marketing of cotton.
