Men Ask
Aid In Solving
Surplus Problem

Some folks like to-may-toes and
others like to-maw-toes, but in
either case those who produce the
succulent red vegetable are unwill-
ing to call the whole thing off.
On the contrary, tomato growers
of Southern California. along with
growers elsewhere in the West,
are faced with such a serious carry
over problem that they are asking
the world in general and western
distributors in particular to come
to the rescue.
More than a million cases of can
ned tomatoes remain unsold in this
area. as against a normal carry
over of approximately half that
much. With big crop of fresh to-
matoes ready to go into consump.
ton and into the 1897 pack, grow
ers generally are fearful that their
market will be disrupted unless
something is done about it.
A direct appeal to the Western
States Chain Grocers Association
was made today by the Southern
California Canned Tomato Stabliza-
ton Committee, to try to enlisI
the interest and support of the food
chain store organizations in TIE
tomato surplus problem. 1t is un-
derstood that the problem will i'm
mediately be presented to the AS
sociation directors.
There is about twice the normal
carrv-over of canned tomatoes IL
the hands of Gamers and distribut-
ors," according to E. w. Soper OF
Chino. chairman of the stabliza-
ton committee. "This situation
has a depressing effect on the price
paid by the Gamers to growers,
and ordinarily induces professors
TO grade very closely. Grower are
frankly troubled by the situation.
and hope the chain stores and 9TH
er distributors will give us han J."

The Grammar School
Bond Issue

To The Editor
The Coolidge Examiner:
/. Problems to be considered in
connection with the bond issue
/. Needs of the children from
standpoint of education.
2. The school plant as a civic
improvement.
3. The financial situation.
III. The proposed five rooms will
not be adequate to take care of the
enrolment that will have to be
provided for during the 1937-193S
school year, and the bond issue
will almost exhaust the bonding
power of the district. We would
find by the time the added class
rooms were ready overcrowded
conditions the same as at the pres
ent time
The proposed rooms will reduce
the playground space. increase the
enrolment of the building, and
thus increase the congestion on a
playground that is already far too
small.
The proposed addition would not
be ready for use during the pres
ent school year thus delaying re-
lief from the present situation for
another year. To build during the
school year would cause serious
confusion.
Ill. The addition to the present
building would detract rather than
add to the structure. In other
words, from a civic standpoint the
expenditure of s37 100000 on the
present building would be a total
loss. On the other hand a new
S37 100000 ward building would
greatly add to the Importance Of
Coolidge as an educational center.
w. The expenditure of $4,000
90 for five class rooms is entirely
unreasonable. To put it into new
building should provide not less
than ten modern up-to-date class
rooms figured on the basis of tie
cost of the present grammar
school.
The construction of frame bunga-
low class rooms could be made to
adequately care for the situation.
These rooms could be provided at
a cost of approximately $1,000 20
per room. They could be made
ready for the opening OF the COM
ing school year. They could he
financed out of the current bud@et
without voting bonds. (The carry
ing charge on the above bond issue
would be approximately s4,OO0.OO
per year and this would build four
bungalows per year, Almost all
the school systems in the state en-
ploy this procedure, and at least
one large grammar school system
uses bungalows only.
The above would allow time FOR
planning a new building and
grounds and make it possible to
work out the problem in orderly
fashion. When other racllltles
were provided to take care of tie
enrolment the bungalows could be
sold at slight loss or kept IN re-
serve to relieve future crowded
conditions that may arise.

king COTTON
MAKES GOOD

within thirty days P1nal County
farmers will begin harvesting he
largest acreage of cotton ever
grown in the county. Private esti-
mates indicate that there are
around $4,000 acres of upland or
short staple cotton and $500 acres
acres of Acknowledgements cotton
being grown this year. When these
acreage figures are compared with
$4,000 acres of upland cotton and
5000 acres of. Americana Egypt ian
cotton grown in 1886, it becomes
apparent that there has been a
rapid increase in the cotton acre
age of the county during the past
year.
II is significant that with this
increase in total cotton acreage
there has been approximately IL
two-thirds reduction in the acreage
of Americana Egyptian cotto n.
Yields of this cotton on many
farms were disappointing last year,
and growers have shifted cotton
acreage previously devoted to this
crop to upland cotton.
The average yield Of upland cot
ton in 1886 in Pinal County was 470
pounds per acre and the average
for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS wks 23O
pounds. These figures are report
ed by the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics of the United States De
partment of Agriculture.
Unless there is more than normal
shedding or very severe insect
damage it may be expected that
average yields on the older lands
Of the county will approximate the
average yield in 1886. HOwever.
taking the county as a whole, 1t is
not to be expected that average
Yields of upland cotton will be as
high this year as the average made
in 1886. There are several reasons
for this. among which is the fact
that several thousands of acres OF
new desert lands have been de-
veloped. and with this new develop
ment goes all of thehazards atterd-
ant to the development OF new
acreage. Not all of these farms
have been completely and properly
levened for the application OF
water: in some cases development
was so late that cotton could mt
be planted until very late In May
and early in June. Such late plant
ed cotton will in all probability not
yield as high as it would have had
il been planted in the proper sea
son Also. some of the new lands
which have been developed thlH
year are 1ot of the highest quality
and cannot be expected to yle'o
up TO older and better lands.
So far this year growing cond'-
tjons for cotton have been exceii~
ent. Recent inspection of fields
has shown a fine set Of bolls with
little shedding and slight insect
damage. If such conditions con-
Time good yields may be expected
OF course the hazard of boil worm
and leaf worm and aphis and rust
still exists.

|SAFEIY SLOGAN
PAINTED ONSTREET
Board of Trades Name Is
Erased After Protest
by ZlotniCk.

The traffic safety campaign was
carried forward today, with safety
slogan signs painted at Thirteenth
and F streets, but only after the name
of the Board of Trade had been
painted out Of the slogans--at the
behest of Zlotnick, the furrier.
zlotnick, it will be recalled, had
safety slogan signs likewise painted
on sidewalks about town last Fall. and
later he had to pay a fine of $500 be-
cause he had his name added to the
slogans.
District police regulations forbid use
Of public space for advertising pur-
poses and zlotnick's slogans were held
to be that.
The new slogans were suggested by
the TrafHc Committee of the Board
of Trade, For that reason traffic off,
ctals had the name of the trade body
added to the slogans, to give credit
to the sponsor.
zlotnick at once protested to Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer and
the protest was forwarded to Corpora
ton Counsel Elwood H. Seal, who di-
rected that the name of the Board
of Trade must be removed. This was
done.
The slogans read: Don't Be a
Traffic Cheater---Give the Pedestrian
His Right of Way" These are painted
in the streets. Similar slogans, ad-
dressed to pedestrians and painted on
the sidewalks, read, Give the Motorist
His Right of Way"

planned TO paint them on many inter-
