CULTURE OF SMALL
FRUITS DISCUSSED
At BUREAU NEE ING

At an interesting meeting or the
local farm bureau last night the sub
ject of growing small fruits was dis
cussed with the object of putting
considerable acreage in blackberries,
dewberries and other small fruits.
Since Mr.. Lewis of the Chandler can
merry made a talk here some weeks
ago stating that his preserving plant
could handle practically all the sur
plus small fruits grown in the valley
the interest has been growing until
there are number of farmers plan
ming to put in acreages of berries
the coming fall.
Asparagus growing is also going
to be started this spring by a num-
Der of ranchers in the district and
more will follow this fall. 1t is the
plan of the farm bureau to secure
enough farmers to grow that crop so
that the fresh asparagus can be
| shipped in the carload lots to east
ern markets
1t was decided at the meeting last
night to call meetings when some
| special program will be held instead
of holding regular meetings due to
the fact that the farmers are very
busy at present and many could not
attend the regular meetings.
Wrestling Match Postponed
The middle weight wrestling match
between Indian Tommy Burns and
a Phoenix wrestler has been post
poned for several weeks due to fact
that the arena could not be gotten in
shape for this Friday and the school
play that will be- held next Friday
will interfere with that date. The
! S. A. c. are still working on the pro-
/ cr,-a on NIL IL iz ctncrGd If will he
well worth the money.
Normal Defeats Beavers
The girls baseball team defeated
| the local high school girls in a game
| featured by home runs by both sides
| Wednesday 20 to 3. The local girls
were leading the teachers until Miss
| Palmer the Beaver pitcher hurt her
! hand and allowed nine Normal play
ers bases on balls which enabled them
| to score heavily. Miss Burley sub
stituted as pitcher. but was unable to
stop the home run hitting of the
| teachers.
Friday Night Entertainment
| Interest is growing daily in the
| show that the Beaver Debating club
| is presenting at the school auditor
ium Friday night. The campaign
/ that the club have been conducting
among the students for selling tick
cts is progressing nicely and a large
block of reserve seats were sold FRI
/ day. 1t is planned to reserve over a
/ hundred seats at 10c each so that
| those coming late will have an OPP
| portunity of having their seats re-
| served. However. since they viii be
sold out by Friday night they should
| be purchased at once.
Several of the actors in the play
/ will leave Phoenix the latter part OF
| this month for Chautauqua engage
ments and this play will perhaps be
their last appearance in the valley
Special scenery win be used for the
stage decorations and the club will
