During the past 10 years Arizona's
deciduous fruit trees have been
planted at the rate of 100000 per
year, according to the figures pre-
sented by Don C. Mote, state en-
tomologist, at the annual meeting of
the Yuma Farm bureau last evening.
In the Subtropical fruits the figures
are just as striking although not as
large said Mr.. Mote.
There has been an average plant
ing of $4,000 per year. In the grape
industry there has been an average
planting of $4,000 per year for the
past 10 years Cotton growing has
Increased from nothing in 1910 cit
began on a comercial scale in this
state in 1879 to Al. 900 acres in 1917
and $780, 900 acres in 1920, dropping to
$4,000 acres in 1921. The story might
be continued, but what does all this
array of statistical figures mean? 1t
means that the progress of Arizona
is written in terms of its increased
agricultural production.
THE figures of the progress of
Arizona's agriculture which have just
been enumerated are gratifying to
say the least and somewhat startling,
but when we attempt to estimate
probable increase in production with
in the next ten years We are indeed
surprised, if not somewhat alarmed.
Based on present and proposed
paintings in fruit and grape indus
tries it is probably fair to say that
the commercial output by the year
1880 will have increased three and
four-fold.
"The future, therefore, while
bright, carries with it some very Sc
rious problems, problems however,
that are by no means insurmount-
able, If the farm bureau continues
to develop upon the broad founda-
tions which it has constructed. Such
large planting and increased produc-
tion will demand the highest type of
organization and the greatest possi-
Bile efficiency in handling and mar
keting methods and assistance from
the state department of agriculture,
and from the college of agriculture,
even more than has been possible
during recent years"
Mr.. Mote touched upon the organ
ization and work of the department
of agriculture.

ARTIcLE NO. 4


NOGALES, Ariz., Feb. 22-This Sc
ries of stories OF Mexico's west coast
might as well begin with a hard
luck yarn. Most of them are hard
luck stories anyhow. For 900 miles
and more south of Nogales stretches
the richest country that ever lay
outdoors. This isn't an exaggeration.
1t has everything from pearls to to-
matoes, and from silver mines from
which the native metal has been
taken in hunks that two men could
lift, to silly soil 40 feet deep that
only needs a tickle and a little wa
ter to grow anything. Yet there is
almost no business on the coast. No
one has any money.
Everything has got in the road Of
progress from Nogales to Tepic. So.
nora has had revolutions and poll
ticians. Now she has Yaquis. which
are a combination of the two. Boil
shevism has gummed the wheels
here and there. European disturb
ances have reacted upon the United
States, which Is Mexico's natural
money purveyor. Bridges have been
burned and tracks torn UP and peo.
pie killed. Yet IL the west coast ever
does get started-and people down
there are as sure OF the ultimate
start as they are of tomorrow's sun
rise-it will turn into the United
States more money annually than is
produced by our present trade with
Europe.
Thought Himself q Made Man
That may sound like ravlng. But
when you think OF strip OF in
tensely fertile land 900-odd miles
long and from so TO 200 miles deep
fringed with mountains that pro-
duce in quantities almost every
known metal. and which needs every
thing in the way OF machinery and
development and can only buy eco
nomically from the United States. it
doesn't sound so queer. But this is

American Considered Himself A Made Man
When He Acquired Rights Of LuckEess Friar
OF Long Ago, But Little Flying Beasts Haze
B0nished All His Dreams
By HERBERT COREY
[ARTIcLE NO. II

getting away from the hard luck
story. 1t is given as an instance of
what has happened to the whole
coast the last few years. The only
thing that hasn't come this land s
way has been prosperity.
Not long ago an American got the
papers to one OF the veritable names
blown in the bottle, warranted sure
fire friars' mines. A friar mine down
here is one that was worked by the
priest conquisadores in the early
days of Spanish rule. They could
pick and choose in those days and
they were good pickers and choosers.
No one has ever heard of rascally
Indian saving off salted mine on a
friar. They not only got the best
of the mines. but they got such good
ones that some of these mines are
being worked even yet. There is one
down at Alamos which was so rich
that when its owner, who wasn't a
friar, decided to give his daughter in
marriage, he paved the street from
his home to the altar with pale white
silver bars. That's history. Many a
church had its more private and os-
tentatious reception rooms plated as
to the walls with golden scales. Not
washed with gold. Not mere thin
stingy busting on of gold. but plated
with gold. So that when this Amer
lean got the papers to the friar's
mine he looked upon himself as a
made man. He wouldn't have taken
the National City bank for a dog
house.
Mine Dump High in Values
''What had happened to the friar?"
I asked.
1t seems that what had happened
to the friar often happened to friars
in those days. Like the colored lady
in the divorce suit of which some
entertainers tell, the Indians just
naturally lost all their taste for the
friars. The particular friar of this
particular mine got away with his

without saying. because from reports
where it has been produced before,
the play has registered unusually
good success.
