is no logical reason why such losses
should be sustained.
The Valley lands are producing
politically; railroads have cooper
ated in securing rate reductions:
packing and shipping facilities are
being brought to a high state of
efficiency; the demand for Valley
products has been extended to
every part Of the country.
But the Valley has failed to or
ganize to assure orderly marketing
and as a result the markets often
are flooded with products and the
price driven down below the level
which would assure a reasonable
margin Of profit.
NUMEROUS EFFORTS to or
ganize have been whole or partial
failures.
Surely, there must be some basis
upon which the vegetable growers
Of the Valley can be organized. and
the individual or group which can
point the way will have performed
a service of i~ncalculable value to
every Valley interest.
1t is probable that slight modifi-
cation of some Of the many plans
proposed would make such plans
more attractive to the growers; or
that some new plan would meet
Valley-Wide approval.
This is a subject that should have
the careful consideration Of Valley
leaders. No service they could
perform would be of greater value
to the Valley as a whole than
organization of the various inter-
ests to assure orderly marketing of
the eyer-increasing vegetable pro-
duction.

REBELS THREATEN
NACO AND

NOGALES, Ariz., March 21.-tHy
"A rebel advance upon the federal
stronghold at Naco, Sonora, eight
miles below the border, and indica-
tons that a sanguinary battle for
the possession of Mazatlan, Sinaloa
was imminent, brought the Next
can revolutionary movement to
sudden life in the north and west
today.
Led by General Fausto Topete.
1000 we'll equipped rebels were pre-
sumed to be advancing on Naco
from the west while Indian revOlu-
tionarieS under General Ramon
Yucupicio were moving toward the
little federal stronghold from Aqua
Prieta.
Naco is eight miles south Of Bis
bee Ariz., and is in possession OF
General Lucas Gonzales, loyalist,
believed to have about 1900 Yaqui
and Mayo Indians at his command.
He is strongly intrenched.
Mexican families, with their per-
sonal effects, began pouring across
the border into Bisbee today when
the report was spread a battle at
Naco appeared imminent. Ameri-
can soldiers guarded the water
supply Of Bisbee at Naco, Ariz.,
near the scene of the impending
encounter.
Meanwhile revolutionary head
quarters at Nogales, Sonora, mo-
mentarily expected word that Gen
eral Francisco r. Manzo, second in
command of the rebel armies, had
hurled a superior force of men
against the federal general. Jaime
Garlic. Manzo as reported TO
have 5000 men and GARLIC, occu-
pying a stronghold of vantage,
$500.
NaCo and Mazatlan are two fed
eral strongholdS located in rebel
territory. They are 800 miles apart
and their defenders apparently are
cut off on all sides from COM
munication with the main body of
the federal army under General
P. Elias Gales.
NaCo is an important point for
the rebels because it is a railroad
town and because its fall to the
federals has driven a wedge be-
tween the rebels of Chihuahua and
those of Sonora.
Naco is strongly fortified. An
inner trench circles the entire vii
lage. IN front Of this are barbed
wire entanglementS, and in front
OF the wire, temporary trenches.
Nine machine gun nests are in
strategic positions and powerful
Searchlights play over the sur
rounding country. General Con
zales commands the troops. large
ly Mayo and Yaqui Indians.
