per cent is considered normal. The
voters were told by the city that
the water rate would have to be
raised only slightly" if a new and
adequate Water Program would be
adopted. Not only did the city
raise your water rate enormously
but it also lowered the minimum
| to the extent where it would have
been an expensive Experiment"
had the City not put in force the
so-called Summer Rate. Is it not
time that some consistent policy is
Established?
Bus service in Phoenix can be
improved whereby it will become
profitable for more of us to use
this service. AS it is now, a busy
person cannot afford to ride the
City Buses. If a rider can be placed
at the point of his destination in
Is minutes instead of z hour, his
seat can be resold to two other
users, and the profit thus gained
can be used to further improve
service.
g. illuminate Stop Signs and make
use of better quality paint on
our city streets.
A Stop Sign that can't be seen
easily at night is worse than no
Stop Sign at all. Traffic accidents
can be reduced and the saving in
life and property will be worth our
while. Another considerable saving
% the taxpayer will be possible if
better quality paints were used.
The paints now used look washed
out" shortly after it has been ap-
piled.
~ The City of Phoenix should set
aside an Industrial Section for
Manufacturing suitable to our
needs and climatic conditions.
Tax concessions could be made
to attract the type of industry we
so badly need, and which would re-
suit in more stable economy for
our city as it would give employ
ment at better pay to many Phoe-
nicians.
The City of Phoenix is spending
entirely too much of the Taxpay
ers' money for frills and trimmings,
such as plaques on city buildings,
fancy financial reports, etc.

Kids Warned
OF Poisonous
Castor Bean

Castor beans, poisonous beans
similar to edible beans, are grow
ing on Luke AFB, 1t. Col w. F.
Castellow, Medical Squadron Com
mander, announced this week.
Parents should warn their
children against eating the beans, "
Col. Castellow said. Symptoms of
castor bean poisoning are vomiting
which starts when the bean irri-
tates the stomach. The beams poi
son also sometimes affects a por-
ton Of the brain and causes partial
paralysis.
Unless treated immediately,
medical officers said, the vomiting
becomes violent and can cause
death. There is no antidOte for it
except stomach pumping and
treatment to restore the body
fluids.
An inspection of the base has
been made to determine the loca-
ton and extent of castor bean
growth here. Plants were found in
the following locations:
Building 871, one plant on north
side of hospital orderly room;
Building IS, Physiological Train
ing, five plants on north side;
Building 886, Dispensary, has one
plant on east side and one on west
side.
Housing Area, Buildings $50, 821,
and S19, where castor bean plants
have been planted i'm form of a
hedge. Plants are numerous, heav-
lily Stalked and beans are plentiful.

1854 Small Grain
Supports Are Told

Barley, rain sorghums, oats and
rye will be supported at 85 per
cent of parity in 1854, says Thomas
M. Stubblefield, extension econom-
les specialist at the University of
Arizona.
This support price, announced by
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft
Benson recently, is the same as
this past year. However, the meth
cd of calculating parity has been
changed and support prices for
these grains will be lower next
year than this year The national
average of barley will be $1.15 peam
bushel for the 1854 crop year as
compared to SIPS per bushel for
the 1853 crop year. Grain Sor-
ghuns in 1854 will have a national
average support price of $2.28
per hundred as compared to $243
per hundred in 1853.
Arizona produced grain will go
to the terminal market in Los An
geles. Freight rates from the Ari-
zona production areas to California
are lower than the average
freight rates because the grain
moves a shorter distance. For thiSh
reason. Arizona will have higher
support prices than the national
average on barley and grain sor-
ghums.

A. Better coordination between

The City of Phoenix is becoming

of paving. Every time this is done
a great deal of money has to be
paid out. If this practice continues,
and the City can no longer raise

PLEDGED TO WORK FOR THE
FOLLOWING 7-POlNT PROGRAM
IF ELECTED TO THE CITY COUN-
Gil ON NOV. 10, 1853:
J Abolish City Sales Tax.

The temporary City Sales Tax is
a nuisance. It helps discourage our
visitors from spending within our
city, as they have ample opportuni-
ty to shop elsewhere during their
travel. Businessmen of Phoenix are
losing valuable trade to stores out
side of our city limits. This, in turn
helps lower employment opportun-
tiles in Phoenix. Nearby communi-
ties like Scottsdale, Glendale and
Tempe are "cashing in" on the
nearSightednesS of our present
City government. The tax revenue
thus lost can be made up by a
sound Economy program (See
Points 4, 6 and -.
~ Study our parking problems, to
regulate parking to the best
advantage of the mOtOrist and
the storekeepers.
Parking is becoming more of a
problem every day. Much valua-
BILE parking space is now wasted
and an intelligent effort should be
made to alleviate the situation.
Traffic in certain places of our fair
city is made even more congested
than that it normally would be, by
cars cruising around block after
block looking for suitable space
to park.

and the City should start pro-
gram to cover all irrigation

Yields Set Record
In Maryland

Maryland corn and soybean crops
set records for yield per acre last
year, according to the annual crop
summary released last week by
the Maryland Crop Reporting Ser
vice. Corn yield was 46 bushels
per acre, one bushel more than the
previous high years, 1948 and 1861.
The new soybean yield record is
18 bushels an acre. The former
record of II bushels was set in
1850.
Production increases over 1851
were registered by corn, oats, soy
beans, alfalfa hay, lespedeza hay
and lespedeza seed. Wheat produc-
ton remained the same as in 1851,
while other crops dropped below
the previous years levels.
Although per-acre production Of
corn hit an all-time high last year,
the acreage devoted to that crop
is far below what it used to be
before the development of high
yielding hybrids. In the 1905, the
states corn acreage was above
100000. 1t dropped into the 600,-
COOS from about 1898 until 1922.
Despite the larger acreages, total
production seldom exceeded the 21,-
10000 bushels harvested last year
