tion and general farming condi-
tions in Pinal county was given

Long staple cotton production
has dropped from about $4,000
z -fsz ls-t year to % 900 acres this
year. Henness said. There will be
some difficulty in producing grains
for home use and in getting high
protein supplements An increase
in alfalfa production is expected
and in the Eloy area ii is thought
the winter vegetable production
viii be greater.
Speaking briefly at the club
were 1t George Hayduke, Corp.

Japanese Fight Well So Long
AS They Can Stay Out Of Sight

wounds receive at Guadalcanal
Homer's face gets a little grim as
he tells about the way in which
Cliff was badly cut about the neck
after a Japanese mortar shell ex-
ploded beside him.
He was standing behind a big
tree when | come up" says HON
er. "One of those shells exploded
right in front Of me throwing a
lot of dirt in my face SO | couldn't
see. He yelled TO me asking II
was alright. Just then he walk
cd out and another one exploded
right in front of him. heard him
yell and went over and carried him
out"
Homer has brought back an al
bum partly filled with pictures,
which he viii treasure the rest of
his life They're pictures taken
by himself and other marines
showing planes. American and
Japanese, that have been shot
down and revealing some of the
scenes that many of us have seen
in our motion picture theatres or
in our magazines and newspapers.
Homer's album has some pic
lures that Wen wager you haven't
seen. Just to mention a few-a
ditch filled with over 500 Japanese
dead. a blackened, charred Japan
ese skull atop a tank, a transport
ship loaded with Is wounded which
crashed in a take-off. All IS were
killed.
The Ashley boys are sons of w
c. Ashley, who gives Coolidge as
his address. Clifton spoke some
time ago before the Coolidge Ro
tary club, telling of landing oper
ations of the marines as they took
Henderson Field on Guadalcanal
early last August Homer was in
the hospital at Oakland, Calf, foI
a while, suffering from finger and

mended for the navy cross as re-
suit of his heroism.
AS for the armchair strate-
gists" who may be a little bored
with the war effort or for the fel-
lows who are making profitable
enterprise out of this present fight,
it might be well for them to talk
to fellow like Homer Ashley. Be
fore they're through. they'll appre-
ciate that ii isn't any ping pong
game in which our soldiers are en-
gagged. And it isn't "tea and
crumpets" that the enemy is dish
ing out to them.
It's war-red hot, hellish war.
And it's fellows like the Ashley
brothers who are winning it for
US!

Senator McF arland
Will Request More
Army Guard Units

So that additional italian prison
ers of war may be released foi
the harvesting of crops, Senatoi
Ernest w. Mcfarland has an
nounced he will ask the war de
partment TO assign seven more
army guard companies TO Arizona.
Cotton growing counties, such
as Pinal, Graham, Pima, Maricopa
and Yuma have requested assign
ment of the prisoners for cotton
picking. Senator Mcfarland states
that the only difficulty in the way
of getting the number OF such
workers needed to carry the farm
ers over the peak is the matter Of
getting a sufficient number of
guards.
Mcfarland states that Col Will
lam A. Holden, director of the
Florence prisoner of war camp, is
anxious to cooperate with the
farmers"
