FREAK STORMS HIT
WESTERN STATES
Rain, Snow and Dust Leave
Benefits and Damage.
Tornado Kills Four.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, March pa sud
den succession of tricks from the
weather bag left four States busy to-
day checking benefits of rain and
snow against the costs Of dust storms
and tornado that took four lives.
Half a dozen towns were torn by
tornado that skipped through South
Central Missouri late yesterday.
At the same time dust choked South
ern Kansas and the Oklahoma and
Texas Panhandles, and wet Spring
snow fell on Western Kansas and
Southeastern Colorado. Farmers were
elated by the snow, which followed
rain.
The windstorm also injured more
than a score of persons and ruined
the homes of approximately so. Mis-
souri, communities hardest hit were
Niangua, RAIDER, Morgan, Oakland,
Drynob and Camdenton, all northeast
of Springfield.
Teacher Saves Pupils.
Quick thinking of a country school
teacher near RAIDER saved 80 pupils.
When Miss Pauline RAIDER, 2l, saw the
storm approaching, she marched the
children out of their building and told
them to lie fiat on the ground. They
saw the school house blown away.
Many in the path Of the twister
saved themselves by running to storm
cellars or taking refuge on the open
countryside.
The four killed were Mrs. Jess FL
more, 70-year-old widow, at Niangua
Bert Smell. 81, Niangua; Miss Reba
KeeSling, Is, RAIDER, and Henry Elmore,
AZ, of near Oakland.
From st. Louis the Red Cross sent
a trained disaster worker to the strick-
en- area. Six of the eight houses at
RAIDER were demolished.
After churning with customary
fury in the Oklahoma Panhandle and
the area surrounding it, the dust
scourge made a new eastern frontier

Administration to insure loans for
home modernization.
1t was amended to give F. H. A.
permission to guarantee loans by pri-
vate institutions for construction Of

able in permitting reconstruction in

get into the race for the presidential
nomination. State Senator Phillip E.
Nelson of Superior and Ben Gettle-
man of Milwaukee, a former State
Senator, are managing the campaign
for Borah.
The slate of uninstructed delegate
candidates was picked by the State
Volunteer Republican Committee with
the four candidates for delegate at
large named at Statewide confer
ence and the district delegate candi-
dates picked in district caucuses. The
four candidates for delegate at large
on the Borah slate are William j.
Campbell OF Oshkosh. State Senator
Nelson, Edwin F. J. Hilker Of Racine
and Robert w. Monk of Wausau. The
uninstructed list Of candidates for
delegate at large Is Harry Griswold,
former candidate for Governor;
Charles B. Perry of Milwaukee, former
Speaker of the Assembly; George
Gilkey Merrill, former State chair
man, and Michael Eberlin, all of whom
have been identified prominently with
the Republican party in Wisconsin.
Campbell Conservative.
Campbell, wealthy lumber man,
early announced his intention of sup
porting Borah. His advocacy Of the
Borah candidacy is all the more re-
markable because for years he has
been one Of the potent voices in the
conservative Republican camp In the
State.
Although the presidential primary
Is only two weeks off, there has been
little active campaigning up to date,
either for the Borah slate or the un-
instructed slate. Both sides are plan
ming to speed up, however. The
for the uninstructed delegate candi-
dates would be tantamount to a vote
for Col. Frank Knox, Chicago pub
Usher. This Is denied by Edward
j. Samp, chairman Of the Republican
committee. Supporters of Knox and
Of Gov. Landon of Kansas have been
working in Wisconsin, but neither
Knox nor Landon is filed in the pri-
mary. Conservatives in Wisconsin
are viewing with satisfaction the large
vote rolled up against Daniel w. Hoan,
socialist mayor of Milwaukee, in the
recent city election there. Hoan has
been mayor for the last 20 years
They figure that If this means any
thing, it means swing away from
radicalism in the State. This is the
first election since the formation OF
the new Farmer-Labor Progressive
Federation pledged to the support OF
La Toilette Progressive candidates in
State elections and inferentially the
Socialist candidates in Milwaukee.

RECORD ARMY BILL
GIVEN CONFEREES.
Passes Senate Amid Cries
of "Extravagance" and
"This Means War"
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A record breaking peacetime Army
supply bill of $6ll 1862 ,604, passed by
the Senate yesterday, SO to IL, over
cries of extravaganza" and this
means war" went to conference with
the House today for action on Senate
changes which added s66, 100000 to
the House approved total.
The measure was passed after the
Senate, by a margin Of one vote. SO
to IS. defeated a second attempt to
include funds to continue work on the
Florida ship canal, initiated by the
Works Progress Administration. Pro-
ponents of the 2O0-mile Atlantic-to-
Gulf waterway held some hope that
President Roosevelt would allocate
relief funds to continue the work, but
opponents claimed the project was
dead.
The War Department bill carries
funds to maintain an Army of 165, 900
enlisted men in the next fiscal year,
compared with the $4,000 allowed by
the House.
S30,000.000 for Flood Control.
A total of $58,000,0 900 was added by
the Senate for rivers and harbors i'm
provementS, bringing the aggregate
for work on scores of these projects
all over the country to $196,000, 900.
Another $30,000,000 is included for
food control.
OF the total appropriation, 1884,
699,6l9 is for strictly military pur-
poses, and $226,662, ,985 non-military.
This compares with current allow
ance of 1922 2,8e6.470, of which $751;
178,O20 is for military purposes. The
Senate total exceeds budget estimates
by s3s 900 900.
The II Senators voting against the
bill were Black, Alabama; Bulow
South Dakota; Byrd, Virginia; Clark
Missouri; King, Utah; McGill, Kan
sas; Murphy, Iowa; Pope, Idaho, and
Wheeler, Montana, Democrats; Cap
per. Kansas, and Frazier, North Da-
kota, Republicans, and La Toilette,
Wisconsin, Progressive.
Senator Frazier, who lost an effort
to reconsider elimination of a House
provision limiting profits on airplane
and ordnance contracts to 10 per cent
suggested record vote on final pas
sage. Democratic Leader Robinson OF
Arkansas promptly raised his hand
saying:
I'm glad to have record vote"
Frazier attacked the measure as
allowing expenditure of more than
a million dollars a day for military
purposes alone"
Il think these preparations for wal
mean war;" he asserted, adding that
the Army and Navy crowd and re-
tired officers are lobbying all the timt
for a larger Army and Navy"
Senator King deplored the ap-
propriations as provocative" to Other
nations, while Senator Clark declared
IF We are going into the military
business the appropriation is too small
and If we are not going into the mill
tary business it Is too much"

ARIZONA SHOULD HAVE
BOULDER DAM POWER

Pinal county is falling in line
with other counties of the .e In
the Organiza ton of clubs in every
dA(trict for the purpose of con-
cereted action and cooperation in
the formation and execution of
plans to secure Boulder dam power
for Arizona. Realizing the great
Importance Of this project, interest
in this organization is growing
rapidly.
Petitions will be circulated
throughout the state to the Ari-
zona state legislature, urgine the
creation of a commission to Is EN-
powered to transact business with
the Federal government. 1t IS to
be hoped that the state legislators
will respond favorably to the will
of the people who have honored
them and placed the destiny of our
great state in their hands; not With
standing the powerful influence of
interests anragonistic to ouJ de-
velopment that may be brought to
bear
The securing of the Boulder dam
power would mean cheap electri-
city, which every family could use
for power, light and heat, and
would be the one greatest factor
of development that coula be
brought to Arizona.
Arizona has been allotted l. per
cent of the power generate1 at
Boulder Dam. The largest block
of power from Boulder was allo tied
to and contracted by the Metro
politan Water District of Southern
California who now have SO pcG
cent of this power. The city of Los
Angeles was allotted and has con-
tracted for about Is per cent The
Southern California Edison Com
pany was allotted and has con-
tracted for by the cities of Fasa-
dena, Glendale and Burbank. The
Southern Sierras Power Company
and the Los Angeles Gas and Elec-
tric Company also have small blocks
of Boulder Dam Power. Aroma
and Nevada were each allotted Is
per cent of this cheap energy The
State of Nevada has taken steps to
use substantial portion of her
share. AriZona's share, 763,20n, 900
XVIII per year is waiting for a
stae-wide plan to be developed so
that the state may enjoy the ereat
benefits to be derived from this. her
natural heritage.
The Supreme Court of Arizona
has said that Revenue Bonds are
constitutional. Such bonds would
not be a direct obligation Of the
state. They would be secured by
the revenue" of an fauthority"
created to administer a state vide
electrical program. The Ur tied
States Government would be the
logical purchaser of these revanue
bonds.
Revenue Bonds viii not be the
obligation Of the state but rather
the obligation of the authority"
created. Therefore it is obvious
that taxes can not be increased be-
cause Of this project
individuals and groups OF men
and women are awakening. cad
ers are rallying to carry forwar an
unselfish, nonfpoVtical statekaide
program OF education. With
knowledge we can reach our OBJ
jcctive.

PROOF OF FERTILIZER

The Capital Fuel and Feed Co. OF
| Coolidge have been carrying on
experiments in different agricultural
areas of Pinal county this year with
a fertilizer that has proven big
! Guccess in other places, and re-
! tutS of their efforts here are show
ing up quite satisfactorily, and are
destined to be of great value to Casa
Grande valley.
The Arizona Producer makes the
! following observations of the re-
suits of this same fertilizer on SOL
similar to that of this section:
When cotton on one side of a
field stands twice as high and
carries twice as many bolls as cot
ton on the other side, planted the
came day in exactly the same kind
OF soil, irrigated and cultivated and
handled in eXcatly the same way,
with one exception-no room is left
to doubt that the exception exerted
some powerful influence.
There just isn't any room for
argument that fertilization is what
brought about the market diff
ference between three parts OF a
16O-acre patch of Acala being
grown by Casey Abbott on one Of
the Miller Cattle Co. farms, direct
ly north of Palo Verde in the r.
i. D.
One 40-acre strip had a side dress
ing of 100 pounds of fertilizer to
the acre, last June when all the
cotton in the field stood about knee
high and there wasn't two cents
V Crth Of variation to be detected
anywhere. Another 40 got 200
pounds to the acre, and the re-
naming 80 was left as a check.
Anyone Can Do 1t
There is nothing mysterious or
secret about what Abbott applied
&c get these results. He used Vita
Crop, a mixture put out by the
Capital Fuel and Feed Co. It's just
q combination of commercial
phosphate fertilizer with tankage.
which assays 10 per cent nitrogen
and 80 per cent phosphate when il
comes from the mixer.
i feature of this mix is its rapid
bacterial breakdown when it gets
into the sol. Tests at the Univer-
sity Of Arizona showed that nitr:-
fication was complete within two
weeks. Soil chemists can explain
.&li about the acid condition which
causes the breakdown to occur 50
1apidly, and DR.. w. T. MeGeorge
has many times told readers of
this magazine why the addition Of
available phosphate to our alkaline
soils is not only desirable but al
most essential.
