Of not less than 5000 new family units
every month. Modestly designed, but
clean, healthful and sunny homes are
being provided for the slum dwellers.
Safe play spaces will accommodate the
children who formerly were forced into
crowded and Uttered streets. In ac-
cordance with the provisions OF the
law, one slum dwelling is being de-
stroyed for each new home constructed.
The crusade to wipe the slums OIL
the face of America has met with
universal approval. Cities, States and
Nation have laid their powers and
their resources side by side. Private
investors have been quick to purchase
Housing Authority bonds. Private
contractors have aided in every way
possible to reduce costs. The local.
ties have set up their organizations
and have made immediate surveys Of
local conditions. Labor has cooper
ated splendidly by its agreement to
put halt to jurisdictional disputes
one Of the most frequent causes Of
expensive delays in construction.
Despite these wonderful achieve
ments, this rehousing campaign has
only begun. The $500. 900 900 worth of
construction authorized under the
United States Housing Act will barely
scratch the surface. The Federal pro-
gram must and will be expanded. But
its greatest service will be the kindling
of the conscience Of every community,
toward greater and more determined
efforts in behalf of the slum dweller.
My own State Of New York has already
commenced the crusade, and in = few
weeks the people OF New York State
will vote on . constitutional proposal
to broaden the attack on slum areas
in every city of the State. This fine
example should be followed by every
State in the Nation.

nix for pressing in the several oil
mills located in that area Some
seed also goes to Tucson, for mill;
ing. %
Alfalfa Is marketed as hay and
as pasture. Very little seed is grown
although it is believed that more
will be harvested in the years to
come. The Pima Indian Agency has
followed a policy of selling their
alfalfa as pasture, and thousands
of head of feeder cattle are grazed
there. In 1897 several thousand
sheep found pasture for winter
lambing on the reservation also.
On the white-owned lands of the
area cattle are pastured as well as
sheep in the winter and spring, and
a considerable amount of hay is
baled and sold to feeders both in
the county and southern part of the
state. Practically no baled hay is
shipped westward.
AT one tine an extensive vege-
table growing industry was develop
ed in the vicinity of Eloy. The main
crop was fall lettuce, but disease
caused growers to discontinue the
cultivation of this crop. During the
past year the acreage of vegetables
has increased with lettuce, peas,
carrots and other vegetables being
grown. Probably the vegetable
growing industry in the county will
expand in the succeeding years.

Cotton Acreage

In the years, 1888, 1884, 1885, 49,
36 and 1897 Government programs
aimed at the reduction of cotton +.
production were in effect, otherwise
the figures for these years would
be somewhat higher.
Short staple cotton is the main
crop. In the year 1887, there were
approximately 1880 acres of tn 5
cotton and 1000 acres of Pima and
S X p, both of which are the Am
erican-Egyptian type of cotton. Sc
cond in Importance is alfalfa. On
the Indian Reservation, where the
desert land has been subjugated
by the Government for the benefit
of the Indians, the policy has been
followed of planting this new land
to alfalfa. Consequently at this time
out of total cropped acreage of
approximately $4,000 some $4,000
acres are in alfalfa On white-own-
ed lands probably there are not in
excess of 10000 acres of alfalfa.
There are eleven cotton gins in
the county. Cotton is usually sold
to local buyers and trucked or ship

San Carlos Project in that year.
Development of the white-own-
ed lands proceeded rapidly,
with the result that in one year
probably $4,000 acres of new land
were added to our agricultural re-
sources and put to the pillow. Deve-
lOpment on the Indian lands proceed
more slowly, and even now out Of
their total designation of $4,000
acres, something less than 10000
have been brought into cultivation.
Along with this new development
on San Carlos Project lands came
the extension of power lines into
new pumping areas. Electrical Dis
tr' cts Nos. and 4 were organized,
the former serving users in the area
west of Casa Grande, in the vicinity
of Maricopa, and the latter serving
power to the Toetec, Eloy and Gre
en- Dam sections.
From the best figures available,
there were farmed in Pinal County
in 1897 not less than 100000 acres
Of land. $4,000 of this was on the
Indian Reservation, about $4,000 in
the San Carlos Irrigation and Drain
age District, and the balance in the
several electrical districts and var
ious other individual irrigation en-
terprises.
The following figures illustrate
the rapid expansion in agriculture
during recent years in the county:

The J. G. Penney Co, staff enjoyed

Robert Savage, former assistant

Mr.. Barkee took all the store fam

1t will be remembered that Mr..
Halvorson was assistant manager
under Mr.. Barkee when the Penney
store was opened here 10 years age
in August. The Halvorsons are now
located at Rockyford, Colo, with

Libby Team Wins
Eighth Straight Victory

Holding the visiting Half Moon
team to only nine hits, big Gene
Helm, on the mound for the Libby
ball tossers, was a potent factor in
turning back the charges of the
Half Mooners and in chalking up
the eighth straight victory for the
locals, ON the Libby diamond last
Sunday The score Max IL to 4.
Helm struck out eight men and,
with good support by his teammates.
allowed only four OF the visitors to
cross the scoring plate. There was
only one time when he was in any
trouble whatever. That was in the
fourth inning when a few errors
by Libby allowed four scores for
Half Moon. Those were the only
scores the visitors were able to
make.
Kessel made q record for himself
six times at bat and four hits.
Phillips clouted one deep into left
field in the eighth inning for g.
base hit, scoring Katarzy drumming
for Allen and Borden. Phillips
later scored. Borden was also cred
tied with 3-base hit. Gapsh and

Ovilla Gamache House
Damaged by Fire

A fire at the Ovilla Gamache
home Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
did considerable damage to the prac-
tically new home. The cause was
undetermined.
Due to the fact that no one saw
the fire until it had good start,
firemen were unable to save the
roof. However, within few min
utes after the first stream OF wa
ter was turned on the blaze was
well under control.
Several people worked franticalIy
getting the easily movable furni-
ture out of the house and practically
all Of it was saved with the excep-
ton of few pieces which came in
contact with the water.
The roof was completely destroyed
and the walls of the rooms along the
floors were ruined by smoke and
water.
Gamache, who works on a night
shift, was sleeping when he was
awakened by the sitting smell OF
smoke. He Immediately jumped up
and opened a trap door in the cell
ing. The smoke was too much for
him SO he started to climb down
but fell over a stool and knocked
himself partially out. He came tc
shortly and made his way outside
By this time the fire department
had arrived and the fire was soon
under control. The damage is es-
timated at $500.
