SALT RIVER FARMERS

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 2.-(UP)-
Thirty consolidated cases filed by the
Atlantic National bank of Boston
against farmers of the Salt River val
ley, were decided in favor of the farm
ers in the Maricopa superior court here
yesterday.
The cases involved $4,000. This
amount, which was the difference be-
tween the amounts of the notes signed
by the farmers for advance on cotton
and the amount which the Atlantic
National bank later realized from the
sale on a falling market, need not be
paid by the farmers, the court decided
Several hundred similar cases are
to be decided within the next few
weeks for a total amount involving
about 100000.

A noteworthy addition to the series
of government topographic maps is
a large map, in two sheets, of the
Grand Canyon National Park, Arr
iona, just published by the Geological
Survey, in cooperation with the Ma
tional Park Service, Department of
the Interior. This reservation, set
aside as national monument by
President Roosevelt in 1908 and made
national park by act of Congress
in 1919, has been increased in area
from time to time-in fact, additions
were made while this map was in
course of publication, and as they
have not yet been surveyed they
appear as blank areas within the park
boundary.
The park now includes about half
the length of the canyon and contains
approximately LOO square miles of
the most spectacular and remarkable
rock formations in the world. The
survey of the area was begun by the
Geological Survey in 1902 and was
carried forward until three quad
rangles aggregating about $50 square
miles of this exceedingly difficult
country had been surveyed and the
resulting maps published. The in
creasing interest in the Grand Canyon
Park necessitated the completion of
the publication of the present map,

The things that need help in this island
are cane and cotton. There is a kind of ego
in the working Of the Station which should
not be countenanced. If we give over
the Station to the Federal Government
they should spend their 1ime, energy and
money in a way So as to help the cane in
dCStry. We have no control over the man
in charge of the Station. but specific pro-
visions can be made if the Station is turn
ed over to the Federal Government.
End Member for Ere leriksted Town
(BrOW): Mr.. Chairman, is there an agree
ment with the Federal Government in ex.
istence as to how they should run the
Station?
TIE Chairman No.
2rd Member for Frederiksted Town
(Bro2V): Have they the use Of the Station
for d definite time
The Chairman: No.
End Member for Frederiksted Town
(Br01U) And they have unlimited sway
over all the land?
The Chairman: Yes.
End Member for Frederiksted Town
(B4 Why then should we turn over
the Station to the Federal Government,
The Chairman: The idea, | suppose, is
to cancel the amount due to the Immigra.
ton Fund. The estate now ives the I'M
migration Fund five or six thousand DOL
lars.
LIST Member for Frederiksted Town
(MerWjn): Mr.. Chairman. that's part of
the idea. | know that the Federal Govern
ment will do what is right towards this is
land.
1st Appointed Member (Stakemann) re-
marked: Mr.. Chairman, does the Agricul-
tural Station do nothing else but expert
ment in sweet potatoes? | have always
understood that they experiment in cane,
onions, potatoes and many other things.
When the Station first started to expert
ment in onions many persons laughed at
the idea, but the Station has, by experi-
ments, proven that onions can be grown
here and sold to the United States at a
very good profit, so much so that many of
the large Planters have tried and have
succeeded. In some cases some did not
get the price they expected, but that's
not the fault of the Station. Another
thing, does any one believe that the Unit.
ed States Department of Agriculture is
going to send down men here to be
under the control of people in this is
land? 1t is ridiculous to think of that. We
have heard very good talk about men
at the Station; they have produced cane
known as No. "a or II 4 which is of a very
h Ugh quality and much praised by the
Planters. In regard to the Station making
experiments in sweet potatoes to satisfy

all The experiments made cost money; Of
ten they succeed and often they do not
succeed. 1t We could know beforehand
what Would be d good investment then
there WouiG be no need for eX periments.
Often the loss is greater than the gain.
BY this one can clearly see that
the Station cannot give a ,guaran-
tee. | do not know much about
the work Of the Station because | am
not a Planter, but people generally hear
what is going on. | understand that
they are trying to improve the breed of
cattle, as to whether they are succeeding
| do not know. We are not losing any
money on the Station, the money they are
using there is coming from The Federal
Government. | understand that $50. 900
is appropriated yearly for the Station tor
making experiments. Let US suppose that
the Station is not succeeding, even at that
ii is circulating money on the island. Ii is
really desirable that the Federal Govern
ment should take over the ownership of
the Station. Ii that is done | don't see
that we will be sacrificing such a large
amount. The Honorable Chairman saws
that the Station is owing about five to six
thousand dollars. The chances of getting
this amount are not very good. If we are
going to make a gift Of the Station to the
Federal Government and want a guaran-
fee that the experiments will result always
in benefiting the island | don't believe thu
gift will b accepted: and if we propose
to put SOM one over the Director of the
Station the gift will not be accepted. Ie
we put a prOVisO to the effect that If the
Station ceases to operate it will revert to
the Municipality, that believe will be ac-
cepteG. The Municipality will neither
lose nor gain if we transfer the Station
to the Federal Government. If they send
men down to the Station and they do not
do what is right petition could be sent
up asking that they be changed. For my
part, | recommend the draft.

marked: Mr., Chairman, | don't think
the Honorable 1st Appointed Member has
got what | said. | don't mean that the
Director of the Station should be under
the supervision of any one here. | think
he should be limited in his experiments
on things that will not be of benefit to

Wrong System

Miss Ishbel Macdonald, daughter
of the ex-premier, Macdonald, speak
ing at Philadelphia on Sunday, said
that 'England's educational system
was largely responsible for the un-
rest.
She said that English children
were separated into two groups from
the very beginning, one represent
ing the rich, aristocratic employing
class, and one the working class.
She said that the children of
these two groups were trained and
educated with consistent regard for
the privileges and responsibilities of
each.
She might have gone farther and
said that this educational system is
but logical outcome Of the political
and industrial system, and that there
is no hope of changing it or of
solving the problem it involves until
England gets rid of her aristocracy,
her entailed estates, her House of
Lords, social distinctions and the
class consciousness that goes with
them.

More Money Needed

In asking an additional 100000 for food relief
work. the National Red Cross and Secretary Hoover
hope that amount will be sufficient.
They don't know because the flood will last an
other seven days and almost anything can happen be-
fore the waters finally into the Gulf of Mexico
Just how much money is needed to care for the
25OOOO-perhaps 3OO,OOO-refugees and for the re-
Mobilization work that will follow not even the most
experienced expert of the Red Cross can estimate
accurately.
This flood has upset all their calculations.
The Red Cross has had twenty disasters this
year without counting the Mississippi flood Ten of
these were foods six tornadoes and three fires.
OF these the worst is the present flood from
the standpoint Of relief work.
tornado is a matter of moments. 1t levels
community, kills or Injuries certain number and
does certain amount OF damage The cost can be
estimated and the amount of relief money soon
raised
But food lasts for weeks and sometimes for
months Families must be cared for over long
period, running up heavy expense in food, clothing
and housing
Usually the Red Cross officials have been able
to handle flood without outside assistance except
to call upon the Army for tents, medical supplies,
cots, bedding and such things.
But this flood of the Mississippi river has ex-
ceeded all others.
Not only have most Of the government depart
ents been forced to assist, but President Coolidge
has had to place Secretary Hoover in active charge
of the relief work
The disaster will be prolonged Some of the
refugees probably will not get back to their homes
for months. When they do they will be in just as
bad plight as nQw.
Crop planting time will be passed Their live
stock will be gone. Their homes will be ruined and
for nearly year they will be dependent on the
Red Cross for assistance.
Try to estimate what 1t costs to feed and clothe
some quarter Of million persons for month, and
you will have some idea what the Red Cross is
facing.
Then try to estimate what is going to be nee
essary In the way Of Seeds livestock, implements
and other farming equipment to rehabitate 600-
100000 acres Of farm lands.
Only when the flood waters have finally receded
will the full extent of their damage be known.
Ten million dollars may be enough and every
one hopes that 1T will be-
But If it isn't the Red Cross will be forced to in
crease the quota again. And the country will be
ready to respond.
