SCOTTSDALE PLANS
RURAL MAIL ROUTE

SCOTTSDALE, Feb. 19.--At the
regular meeting of the local farm
bureau last night Postmaster Conrad
outlined the plan for establishing a
rural route in the vicinity of Scots
dale. He stated that the required
mileage of "a miles was about
mapped out and a young man was
engaged in looking up further data
on the subject in view of becoming
the rural carrier. The petition blanks
have been received at the office and
are now open for signatures. The
farm bureau after some discussion
voted to cooperate with Postmaster
Conrad and urged all the farmers to
sign the petition so that the route
can be established soon.
Another subject that came up for
discussion was the wage scale set by
the Arizona Cotton G rowers' associa-
tion at Tempe. 1t was the opinion
OF the local bureau that in view of
the present prices Of farm produce
that the scale was too high and that
it should range from 81 to 81 so a
day for farm labor especially Mexi-
can labor.
