Camp Grounds For
Motoring Tourists
Become Institution

The automobile tourist camp is an
institution that has assumed state
wide prominence, being scattered
over every section of Arizona ready
to care for the automobilist in a
manner eminently satisfactory to the
travellers who have heard the. "Call
of the Open Road"
Automobile camps are of all grades,
kinds and nature, some simply fur
nish plot of ground for the camper
to stretch his tent and park his car
for an overnight stop, furnishing
nothing for his comfort. Then there
is the cheap auto camp, where the
traveller is charged a small fee for
ground rent, water and possibly
lights but is given the protection of
fence.
The free municipal camp is un-
satisfactory Among the best camps
are the privately owned auto camp
grounds that cater to the better class
motor tourist traffic, where the
grounds are spacious, well kept,
plenty of shade, room to park your
car. Some will not allow the visitor
to erect a cent, but have nicely fur
nished cottages for rent by the day
or for longer periods.

THERE are few things more at
4 tractive than the small frame
house painted in some pleasing coll
or-scheme. In suburbs or country,
it always adds a note of brightness.
and cheer TO the landscape.
For more than two hundred years,
the Colonial style of architecture
has been a favorite in America 1t
is now copied even in the small
house, yet seldom so successfully
rs in the six-room design shown in
the accompanying picture. The ex-
terror of this house is remarkable
loy its finely proportioned walls and
openings. 1t has an appearance of
sPaciousness greater than its actual
measurements.
The distinctive features of the de-
sign are the beautiful entrance de-
tail and the side porch with its
graceful arches. The hooded front
entrance is an outstanding char
acteristic of the New England Co.
lonial, as contrasted with the great,
pillared portico of the Southern
Colonial.
Ihe brick chimney which goes
through the porch at the side of
the house has door on either side
of it., 1t would be we'll to have
these doors largely of glass, or to
have French windows, so as to ad-
init plenty of light and air to the
living-room, which occupies that
entire side of the house. A brick
fireplace is an attractive feature of

State Per Capita
Car Ownership Is
Apace With Nation

Arizona, with a car for every SIS
persons is keeping pace with the
average, of the nation in per capita
ownership of automobiles, according
to- records compiled by the United
States department of agriculture,
recently. Many of these motorists
hear the "Call of the Open Road"
each summer and speed away to the
beauty spots of the state for their
vacations.
Arizona has 6S,O29 cars registered.
More than twenty million motor We
hicles were in use on the highways
of the United States in 1925, accord

tration reported was 19,954,347, but
there were in addition 96,929 state

visited here last, and compared it
to the Phoenix he found in March Of
this year.
Smith asserted that he was proud
to be in city as prosperous and
full of pep" as Phoenix. He then
gave a history of irrigation in Ari-
zona beginning with the early days
and leading up to the present. He
pointed out that irrigation on the
ella river began at /the lower end
and went up the river and that in
the past few years the needs of the
settlers on the upper river have been
such that the Pima Indians on the
lower river have frequently been un-
able to get sufficient water to grow
their crops. The Pima Indians needs,
he said, is the primary reason for the
proposed San Carlos project and the
Coolidge dam.
All Rights Protected
He also assured his audience that
when the government is through,
everyone with a water right on the
river will be taken care of.
He explained that there were five
irrigational districts on the Gila
river, consisting of about 94,694 acres
in all, with 5000 more acres in New
Mexico and about 1900 acres on the
tributaries of the Gila, exclusive of
the Salt river. There are about 12O,
600 acres possible for irrigation from
the Coolidge dam reservoir, Smith
said, and about $4,000 people to be
benefited from the project.
The Gila river, he said, is one of
the most important rivers in Ari-
zona next to- the Colorado and has
a water shed of $4,000 square miles.
Its elevation at the New Mexico line,
he said, is $500 feet and about sea
level at Yuma. Smith declared the
settlement of water rights on the
river would be made on the basis

of three acre-feet of water per acre

He then explained the bill of June
1924, which appropriated $5,5O0,00C
for the construction of the Coolidge
dam. The dam is to be 220 feet in
height, he said, GAO feet in length
and will impound 1,285,OOO acre feet
of water. The cost per acre to the
farmer, he said, under the project
will be about $40.
In closing, he pointed out tina;

tration, a low hedge bordering the

This house requires 50-foot lot.
But it may be accommodated to

The fact that the Colonial style
Off architecture has retained its
popularity for over two centuries
indicates how we'll it combines com
fort with beauty. To the American
it gives feeling of "home" such
as, probably no other type of house
SO strongly conveys. It's adaptation

The above amount of ~mash should

applied to the fields either early in

from an automobile or wagon driven
across the fields. BY cutting or now
ing around the edges of an infested
field and leaving only a small area
in the center or a narrow strip through
the middle of the field the farmer can
greatly lessen the number of acres to
be poisoned and can also concentrate
thd hoppers in a small area. This
method of. application usually proves
more successful than that of poisoning
the entire field.

The following item from the Ari-

May 81, 1926, by the state commission
of agriculture and horticulture, should
be of material value to Cochise county
farmers, embracing as it does late in

Under Way
THE outbreak of grasshoppers which
is appearing in certain sections of the
Salt river valley will be checked by a
vigorous and widespread campaign.
This campaign is being staged through
the cooperative efforts of the Arizona
Industrial congress, the Maricopa Farm
bureau, the Maricopa county board of
supervisors the county agricultural
agent and the Arizona commission of
agriculture and horticulture through
it's agent, the office of the state ento
mologist. A systematic survey is be-
ing conducted to determine in what
districts the pests are likely to be
plentiful enough to do damage. When
the conditions are proper the farmers
will be furnished the poison bran mash
which is being used to check the pests.
This material will be- available for
free distribution at various points in
the district and at such times as will
be determined by the surveys.
