COMMUNITY II AURIGA
Dr. K. L Butterfield Declares Irrigated Valley Where
Even- Success Depends on Co-operation is Magnifi
cent 'I'lace in Which to Try Out Ideas of Intensive
Farming, Associational Selling and Buying and Crop
Credits' That Make Europe Greatest Agricultural
Continent in the World Massachusetts Aggy College
President Enthused Over Assets of the Valley
with Sizzling Performance
"In all of my extensive travels and
dose observations. I have never seen
a farming community so well and in
telligently organized as in tiie Salt
River valley."
That was the conclusion that Ken
yon L. Butterfield reached and an
nounced in a speech before a (fath
ering of irrigators at the Water Us
ers assembly room yesterday. Dr.
Uutterficld's subject was "Agricultur
al Lessons From Kuropc." In dis
cussing it .he said that America is
In the habit of accepting everything
agricultural that comes out of Eur
ope as just a little bit of all right.
This should not be the ease. Part
or the lessons are in what to avoid,
rot -in what to adopt of continental
methotls. .
There are a number of factors af
fecting the rural successes of Europe
. They are:
Access to the land. A large per
cent of the farms are owned by the
men who till them. Increased land
values are not prohibitive, as they
would be in the I'nited States. Fut
ures in crops are bases for credit
that enables the young farmer to
acquire land.
Loans. Farm banks extend operat
ing credits that make possible the
intensive development of the field.
Intensive farming is much more ex
pensive than extensive.
Amortization.' This is the word
that was tacked to the system of
small repayments on long time loans.
Direct loans from the government to
the farmer were found unprofitable
long ago, ami the idea that the gov
ernment is doing the carrying for
the farmer is wrong antiquated.
Collective buying anil selling. Co
operation here as well as in farm
credits is fast making the market a
thing of the past. Association brok
erage eliminates the profit taking of
the middleman raises the farmer's bit
and lowers the consumer's cost.
Education. Among the farm child
ren of Europe there is a complete
system of vocational training and se
lection. Not only are the rural
schools numerous and well equipped,
but there are agricultural schools,
which --n be' attended for ft few
weeks, at a time as leisure permits.
These are accessible not oniy tc
children but to their elders.
Beautifying the country. The mor
al ami relieious uplift that follow,
the cleaning up of the community
In ml the improvement of roads, bridg
I es, streams, etc.. is one of the strong
I factors in the success of agricultural
Europe.
The city. Co-operation within the
city is aiding the farmer more thap
many believe. System and efficiency
in the relations of the rural and
urban populations helps both,, and
raises" the standards of living. ;
Dr. Hiitteifield said that an irri
gated country where everything is
conducted by means of organization,
is the very best place for the testing
of the European system. He liken
ed the Salt River valley to Holland,
saying that here as well as there he
had been 'struck by the efficacy of
the slogan: "Self Help, Free Farm
ers, Free State." Government help
anil government initiative is dele
terious, he said, for it deprives the
f irmer of that which has made him
capable of handling wihlwood and
making it profitable. Xow that there
are no more problems of fighting
nature in her more savage moods,
the farmer is confronted by the more
serious problem is attacked by the
j more insidious foe nature refined
j and modernized. A definite agricul
tural policy is needed.
I As there remains one big puzzle for
Europe to solve. s is there a great
!e
hain of them for
the American far
water, the system
i mer. Across the
j of co-operative selling is the only
i one not perfected. Here more attenr-
lion is being paid that question, but
the more properly fundamental prob
j lems of co-operative production are
I yet mysteries of the future.
The speaker reviewed the Work of
the two commissions .which' recently
! observed European methods for the
benefit of American farmers. One
! was that commission of seven ap
; pojnted by the president, and the
other was the larger body of about
i seventy delegates from the granges
! of thirty states ami five Canadian
i provinces.
! Two of the ideas that prevail in
i Europe, but will not do here, were
! those of women working in the fields
and ot .-small farm acreages,
i - Some interesting figures on the
I latter are:
j Germany 14 acres
! Ireland to res
I Denmark tiu-7o acres
s and K acres
Someone said, "There is no royal
troad to learning." He might have
gone one better and said there is no
royal road to being a stage favorite. !
"If it isn't, it just naturally ain't," that j
what the sage of oPssum Hollow said.
And it goes double and takes in the
lookout, when applied to theatricals.
There is a list so long that it can't be
totaled of the wealthy and influential t
men and women who have had the
stage fever, who have bought plays,
hired .talent, secured theaters, and all
to no purpose. They did not start
with that something that lacks de
scription, that something that marks
for the actor or actress without ef
fort. That same indescribable quality
has made Hazel Lake a .favorite in
.several short months. Made her a fa
vorite over many who have worked
and struggled for years to see their
names in print at the head of a story. I
Just what this quality should be called
me nest 01 critics nave tailed to agree.
Last night at the Savoy this erstwhile
chorus girl divided honors with a show
that was so far ahead of anything that
has been offered by the Jacobs com
pany in their six months' stav that
it suffers by tiny comparison. It is a I
real tablioid comic opera. Not a !
framework on which is hung many j
times too lightly, interpolated numbers. '
Rut it is a comic opera with a book !
and score to match, and the company,
despite the fact that they have not, as
an organization, been called .upon to
sing the like, acquitted themselves
with credit, and incidentally gave a
sparkling performance of the cleanest
cut show in the history of tabloid in
Phoenix. When it is taken into con
sideration that Hazel Lake was asked
to shy her caster into the arena in
competition with this exceptional bill,
it is much to her credit that she not
only held her own. but made the big
gest kind of a hit. The fact of the
matter is, "Two Thieves" is some show,
and it should make all other week-end
offerings of the Jacobs entertainment
take notice in matters of attendance,
If it's real comic opera, and real com
edy, and good catchy music, the pa
trons of the abbreviated shows want.

Butterfield visited twelve countries
and found the land well used in all
of them. Roads were narrow and
the land was tilled right out to the
edge. This makes much hand work,
but the return is rich enough to war
rant it. They raise thirty bushels of
wheat to the acre where the American
does well if he averages 15, and
they only average twenty inches ol
rainfall there. Germany is smaller
than Texas, has 6".000,ooo people and
raises !)." per cent of the food stuff
consumed there.
The greatest danger to American
farming is the transient tenant. He
skins the land and moves on. Now,
in Switzerland, DO per cent of the
farms are owned by the cultivator,
in Germany Sj per cent, in Helginnj
nil per cent, ami these proportions
are constantly growing.
The teachings of science are being
applied, not because it is imperative.
Competition in North and South
America force the adoption of the
theorist's ideas.
Methods of extending credits to
the farmer tire three in number.
Hy the land bank. This loans
money on long term pledges, issuing
gilt edged bonds on the security of
the land.
Credit Society. These arrange
short term loans, mostly on personal
security.
Selling organizations. Futures in
crop production are often the basis
for loans. This system is similar to
the one in vosue in America, where
the credit is extended on the security
of the crop.
Selling organizations are now stand
ardizing production till over Europe.
One instance is in cured meats. The
producers band themselves together
and agree upon a certnin standard.
There is no inspection, but plenty of
instruction, and if a farmer falls down,
he is dropped from the association.
This system is likened to the cot
ton growers' method in the Salt River
valley. He advised three things:
An association department for farm
loans, equipping a farm bank if neces
sary, based on the fifty million dol
lars' worth of landed assets in the
valley.
Farm instruction by experts.
Selling organizations to handle the
output of every foot of land.

SHR1NERS GETTING BUSY
m SOUTHERN INVASION
Bisbee to Be First Point of Attack
on May 11.
The first work on the shrine lxok,
which is to herald the trip of the
shriners to ISisbec, where a class is
to be taken on a journey over the hot
sands. May 11, was finished yesterday
and the booklet will go to press within
the week to mine. It will be a gem
in the way of the printing art, and will
prepare the novices of the order in the
south for the big time that awaits them
when the bunch from here takes to the
train for ' the trip to the copper city.
Recorder Sweeney, who is the father of
the effort, has, it is said, gone one bet
ter than any of his previous efforts in
the way of shrine literature; and the
coming of the book will be awaited by
those who follow things in the realms
of the fez-adorned ranks.
The advance literature is soon to ap
pear for the shrine show, which is to
be a feature of the later week in May.
Already the line for parts is being com
pleted in the offices of the order and
feature the show will shortly be forth
coming. In addition to a regular shrine circus,
the amusement committee has a sur
prise in store that they think will
show heels to anything that has ever
been pulled in the way of outdoor
amusement in local lodge circles.
The announcement of the latter will
be made in the week to come. A sou

of preparation and the prospectus
will be completed this week and ex
hibited to the public. This souvenir

SCOTTISH BITES
I GATHER
Impressive Ritualistic Cere
monies Are Followed by
JJanipiet at Which Mayor
(Jeorg'o V. Young- Re
sponds to Toast
With impressive ritualistic cere
monies, Scottish Rite Masons of
Phoenix, together with a delegation
from Mesa, last evening in Masonic
Hall observed the annual lestival of
"Extinguishing the Lights." 'This is
is a religious holiday observed by
Scottish Rites Masons throughout the
world on Maunday Thursday, the
Thursday before each Easter Sunday.
The exorcises are prescribed in the
ritual and form some of the most
beautiful work in Masonry.
There were in attendance tit the
ceremony last evening, upwards of
seventy-five members of that branch
of masonry. Following the ritualistic
work, a banquet was served at which
those attending the lodge session and
their families were seated.
The banquet proved a most enjoy
able affair, Francis A. Shaw presid
ing as toastmaster. There were sev
eral responses, the principal one be
ing that to the toast, "The President
of the Fnited States." To this toast
response was made by Mayor George
I'. Young, himself a Scottish Rites
Mason. Mayor Young said:
"Government is a subject no man
understands, and of which but few
men have even a faint conception.
"The reason is the most discern
ing become confused by the non
essentials and customs always ad
vanced by the majority, with the re
sult that what we all know as gov
ernment, is but tin aggregation of
experiments.
"Government today is top-heavy,
end must fall by reason of its pon
derousness. In this it obeys the nat
ural law, for by its ruins men will
learn and a better structure will
arise.
Government is something which
can be perfected only as man grows
from within. It is a science the
one science: a religion the one reli
gion. With government perfected,
the church, as an organization, ceas
es; the secret society writes "finis"
at the end of its hist minutes; the
court rings down the entrance cur
tain; the lawyer turns his hands to
more worthy things and all men per
ceive just what they tire and for
what they were intended: the great
mystery of life stands fully revealed.
That will be the millenium, and fool
ish is the man of the present who
loses sleep in worry as to just when
that lime will be. In other words, it
is over that subject that the false
theologian and orator delight to rant
and mvstify their audiences.
"The best informed man on the
subject of government should always
be that man who represents the head
of every nation, but unfortunately
for the best progress of man, he sel
dom is. In our case this man should
be the president, but except in two
instances, he has not been. While
great, as men arc measured, yet the
analyst obsrves that by lack of
those experiences which alone devel
op the true executive, this great
man stands confused, because of the
great pressure of non-essential sub
jects, advocated by men of less abili
ty who now, as always, surround the
great in station.
"All honor to our present president,
for the recognition he has shown for
the Divine inherent in man, and yet
unrecognized by most men.
"It is the duty of every man in
tiiis great order, and the duty of
every man, of every church and of
every organization of men in this
j great nation, to assist our president
j by his highest and holiest efforts, his
! best sut;gestions and his most fervent
) prayers to help destroy those tcrri-
hie forces which surround him, thus
I enabling him to give his mind time
j on those subjects which mean a bet
I ter and more permanent welfare to
i every citizen of this great republic."
