GOOD ROADS-NO DUST

The recent million dollar rains
that visited the state will be worth
part of that million to those who
plan to attend the fourth annual
Arizona state pageant at the Casa
Grande ruins this week Rev. Dirk
LAY, president of the Arizona Pag-
cant association declares. The
rains have put the roads in excel
lent condition to be worked and tn
state highway department is al
ready on the job repairing the
slight damages and regarding
rough spots. he said.
Further value from the rains will
result due TO The fact that the sur
rounding country is thorough
soake dand will take many days to
dry out, so that those who attend
the pageant his year will be
spared the possibility of sitting
through a dust storm such as took
place at the ruins on the last day
of the pageant last year. he said.

branch of Publix theatres.
"The reunion this year takes on
the added significance of being the
tenth birthday of the founding of
this plan to bring the old time men
and women of Arizona together
at least once each year" Charles
A. Stauffer, publisher of The Ari-
zOna Republican, said in his invi-
tation.
Ranks of the pioneers have been
considerably thinned within the
past II months and as time wears
on it seems inevitable that the num-
Der eligible to attend the reunions
will be further depleted.
''It is probably because of the re-
alization of these ageing men and
women that their numbers will de-
crease more rapidly as time passes,
that their attendance at the annual
reunions in Phoenix has shown a
steady year-toyear growth from
the first to ninth inclusive.
more than 1000 pioneers actu-
ally registered for the reunion last
year as compared with about 1,2OO
in 1921 This growth in attendance,
we believe, again will be reflected

plans for the entertainment of $500
visitors during the two-day celebra.

Tell it to
theChickens

A summary of the natural situ-
alton of the poultry industry indi-
Gates that an increase of flocks dur
ing the present year is not justified
if present prices are maintained.
While cold storage holdings on
January were approximately so
per c.below those of last year and
per cent below those of last year
and AZ % below the previous five
year average, the increase in hens
was considerable above that of last
year, and should offset the short
age in storage holdings. Stocks
of frozen eggs were 4.5% greater
than the previous year and ex-
ports fell off approximately 40 &o.
The high price off eggs during
the fall and winter months have
discourage the culling of flocks
the relative percentage of hens car
lied over is above normal. Season
al conditions in many of the large
poultry sections have retarded the
production of the 1929 pullet crop.
AS Spring production gets under
way it is expected that there will
be sharp decline in egg prices,
and that storage holdings during
1880 will be in excess of 1929. Stor-
age holdings of poultry meat on
January 1, 1880, were $3.50 greater
than a year back, and 1870 greater
than the years average. With de-
cline in the prices of beef, pork
and mutton the poultry market
should be materially affected.
Fifty-six car loads of eggs were
shipped in to the state from the
Pacific coast during the past year.
Considerable quantities arrived by
express from the east. This repre-
sents the production of approxim-
ately $4,000 hens.
November 1, 1929, showed an in
crease in hens in Arizona of ap-
proximately 25@o over the previous
year. Early sales and advanced
orders for baby chicks indicate
that there will be a material in
crease in sale of chicks over last

farmers from the various districts,
to serve as a county committee in

So far no Pink Boil Worm has
been found in Pinal County, with
the exception of a light infestation
below Sacaton. But there is a
chance that some Of the new farm
ers coming in, or pickers which
during the past season moved here
from the infested district, may
have brought in er-wintering lar

Letters from a RookieI
AT Fl. Lincoln CMTCj
Soldier. to Sister Sue
G. M. +. Camp,
Fort Lincoln, N. D.,
June Is, 1890.
Dear. Sister Sue;

Dear Sister Sue:
Little did I think last August when
I was heading my letters Fort Lin
coin CMTC" that another summer
would find me doing the same, and
something more that's q surprise also,
Sue. At the close Of camp last year
when the 4. o. Chats our abbrevi-
alton for Commanding Officer) ask
for recommendations for conducting
the 1890 camp, I vas much In love
with camp life, also thought a right
smart Of some girls here-well I rec
commended that the camp start in
June this year, as I allowed I'd be
chatting at the bit by that time for
more camp life. You know. Sis, I did
Mt think any more Of that recon-
mendation until In May when I was
notified that camp would open June
18th. With school out and not much
to. do I could hardly wait. Some days
later I couldn't wait longer-so here
I am. In fact I arrived at camp be-
fore it was ready. Upon arrival I
found a Sarge" and q Buck" or two
chats what they still call the pri-
Yates in the army who looked ia
miliar, but there Is a lot Of strange
faces. One Of these strangers started
telling me about the great amount Of
work required around the mess hall"
to feed 500 hungry fellows. I wanted
to act wise so I spoke Of "slum,"
Chow" the BULL Cook" K. p. and
other terms familiar around the
place we eat.
SO this strange guy says "You would
make q useful fellow around the
kitchen the first day or two. You
know the ropes. Well, I don't know
the ropes for sure, but I have punched
the eyes out Of q million spuds. Just
about the time I finished, peeling the
last sppd, and thought that I would
loaf q bit this same guy happened
around. He informed me that K. p.
no longer meant Kithcen Police but
Keep Peeling." So smart as I am
I told him / could almost cry because
all the spuds had lost their jackets.
with this he drags out q sack filled
with something and said keep Peel
Ing" and cry any time you feel like
It. Wei when I engaged with those
onions I needed q gas mask about as
badly as the English did when the
Germans launched their first gas at
tack during the World war, and stood
Just as slim q chance Of getting one.
I am told that this <. p. Job Is
run by roster, that is someone else
gets 1t II I don't. Here's hoping.
Your loving brother,
BUCK.
