A. A. A. RACES AT
HOLBRO0K LABOR DAY

The Holbrook Race Track associa-
tion is putting on its first races under
American Automobile association
sanction Labor day, Monday, Septem-
Der 9.
About the only way to get good
drivers and crisp management Of ra-
ces these days is to affiliate with the
A. a. A. And this the Holbrook peo-
pie have done. They realize that their
last race was a little tame and the
supervision little slip-shod. This
time they are making certain that the
spectators will get their moneys
worth. Where formerly they could
present only outlaw drivers. this time
they can use only A. A. a. drivers.
Where before there was delay and
confusion and chin music, this time
the races will be under thes military
autocracy of the A. A. A. represen-
tative, who will have charge Of the
The Coconino sun., 1926-09-03

races from first to last, and whose
officials will run off the events with
clock-like precision.
So far as is known at this time,
the nearest A. A. "A. race on Labor
day is in Oklahoma, so that the speed
fans of Arizona and New Mexico will
have to go to Holbrook if they want
their favorite fare on the next legal
holiday.
Fifty-nlile events are likely to
prove tedious, particularly if three or
four cars get set in certain positions
and sprints do not alter relations; the
drivers settle down in their seats and
90 only as fast as they have to in
order to keep their places. The Hol-
brook people are putting on four live
ly races this year. The first is a To-
mile open event. The second is a 10
nile event for all except the winners
Of the first race The third is a rs

special match race between the Miller

querque last week and all other win

program Of extension work must be
worked out comparatively between
the agricultural extension service and
the farm bureau before such money
can be appropriated
Many people are in entire sympa-
thy and glad to have the help Of the
agricultural extension service but do
not have a full appreciation Of the
value OF the farm bureau. 1t is only
because the farm bureau is establish
ed and functioning that it is possi-
bic under the law to secure county
appropriations for this work. The
people who are members Of the farm
bureau are giving very definite evil
dence of their belief in the value OF
tn extension work and they are also
making it possible for any Of those
who do not belong to the farm bu-
reau to take full advantage Of the
service. The agricultural extension
service deals with The farming pub
lie without discrimination. It's pur-
pose is to help build a more pros
porous and altogether more satisfac-
tory rural life TO do this it must
have organized support in the coun-
ties, which in Arizona is provided for
in the farm bureau.

families greater opportunity to
make themselves effective in service
to their communities.

(By T.. IL. ROSS)
The Extension Service has been
established in Arizona for twelve
years and it has come to seem to
be a natural permanent arrange
ment. The twelve counties that are
now supporting the work have each
supported it uninteuuptedly since the
start and many Arizona people never
knew or have lost sight of just how
the financial support Of the extern
sion work is organized.
A small proportion Of the total ex-
tension funds comes directly from
the u. S. department OF agriculture
and makes every county extension
agent z representative Of the Y. $.
department Of agriculture.
Another source of funds is the
federal congress, which under the
Smith-Lever Act provides a definite
amount of money under restricted
to each of the states. The
state makes an appropriation to off,
set the federal Smith-Lever fund.
This completes the arrangement for
the state and nation but the work
would not be truly cooperative unless
a local unit were included So coun-
ty support has been asked for and
has been generously given.
From the very earliest days Of ex-
tension work it was realized that to
be effective the work must be sup
ported by a local or county organiza-
ton. Where such was not provided
by law it grew up naturally, until
in practically every county in the
United States there grew up an or
ganization for the support of extern
sion work and by common consent
this organization has been called the
Farm Bureau.
In Arizona the law specifically pro-
vides for the organization of farm
bureau in every county whore coun-
ty funds are appropriated for eXten-
sion work. This law demands a GER

12.3OO. 900 acres


From the above it appears that the
possible irrigable acreage Immediately
adjacent to the Colorado river is:
In California, including the I'M
perial Valley, 100000 acres;
In Arizona, 100000 acres.
The unregulated flow of the river
will not be sufficient to furnish water
for these lands and the million or
more acres in the Republic of Mex
leo.
There are, however, opportunities
for storage of water so that it will
be possible to utilize most OF the
floods if the government adopts far
reaching policy and holds these stor'
age sites for future developments.
The matter of most immediate ne"
cessity appears to be, to have some
immediate understanding or treaty
with Mexico by which the waters
may be properly apportioned and the
expense of storage and river control
carried by the lands benefited.
Very respectfully,

HOVAL SMITH GIVES
FACTS IN REGARD TO
SPLENDID RECORD.

Senator Raj lph H. Cameron opened his
campaign in Douglas Wednesday evening be-
fore an audience which filled the Grand Thea
tre to capacity.
The meeting which was presided over by
Charles Cunningham, president Of the Douglas
Cameron-for-Senator Club, opened with cam
paign song sung by c. O. Bartlett Of Tucson.
Cunningham then introduced Hoval A.
Smith, well known Arizona mining engineer
and Camerons campaign manager, who delly-
cred forceful address on the theme Cameron
and the Colorado
Smith, who has been associated with Cam
eron for more than 20 years, is one Of the best
known mining engineers in the southwest and
stands near the top in his profession. He has
record for doing big things himself, and is an
enthusiastic admirer Of Senator Camerons en-
thusiasm and tireless energy, and is strong his
praise Of the senator for the able manner In
which he has worked for the progress and up
building Of the state during the term he has
been In the senate.
Ioval A. Smith said:
It is strange indeed to witness the present
day maneuvers Of certain cGques and the crlti~
cal fervor with which they and certain self
seeking acqulsltlve, mercenary forces are nces-
sanity viirulent in their efforts and methods to
disparage and malign Senator Cameron's past
and present activities in connection with the de-
yelopnent Of the Colorado river.
In the event that these seH-servng and self
constituted exterior and interior critics may IN
advertantly influence some Of the uniformed,
and more recently arrived and younger genera
ton Of Arizonans, it seems advisable to re-submlt
certain facts pertaining to these intriguers.
These facts, as shall subsequently relate, will
fully substantiate the premise that Ralph Cam
eron is not alone the initiator Of Colorado river
development but that he personally formulated
and widely promul gated a definite, effective
and an aII-embracing Arizona policy some
years before the era Of present day claimants to
that honor. wt., y a. jstE1 f4z5A

to the waters of the Colorado and
obtaining the best irrigable lands,
Delegate Cameron also conceived the
idea of amplifying the area deemed
requisite and thereby acquire series
of deep harbors on the Gulf of Cali
fornia Any area so acquired from
Mexico would be divided by Califor-
MIA acquiring that portion west OF
the Colorado river and Arizona that
rortion lying to the east, thus al
fording tidewater facilities to south
eastern California and to the state
of Arizona and allotting to each OF
the two states areas sufficient to
hermit each to irrigate within it's
boundaries approximately 100000
acres of the most fertile land IN
the world. The whole of the 4,OOO,OoO

Cameron and 7 outlined the fore
through more than so speeches
throughout the length and breadth of
Arizona during the fall of 1911; hence
this review is based on facts boldly
stated then and very well known to
the Arizonans of that period.
Land and Water
Cameron had ascertained prior to
1911 that the average annual run off
of the Colorado river was approxi-
mately 100000 acre-feet. If this
were impounded, it would irrigate
about 100000 acres Of land. How,
ever, the reclamation survey in 1911
advised him that there was only
100000 acres Of land within Cali
fornia and Arizona that could be
easily irrigated by the waters of
the Colorado river, hence the re-
naming 100000 acres must be Sc
cured from Mexico if all the waters
were to be most efficiently utilized
by our people. 1t was also stated
that if for any reason Delegate Cam
eron failed to secure these additional
100000 acres of easily irrigable and
most prolific tropical lands in MeXiA
co, then it was planned to use the
excess waters on domestic lands ~
ing within the ella river area upon
any Arizona lands lying below the
1,2O0-foot altitude plane.
