some of which were plastered on the

places were built in the living rooms
and the dining rooms were equipped
with china closets. Rooms were beau

rooms eual to the best and complete

upon which the houses stood wen;
planted with trees and palms and
cement walks were built in front of
the house and around the side of
the house to the kitchen door. A
neat fence enclosed the yard in the
rear and this was painted. Altogether
the whole appearance of the seven
houses was all that could be desired.

of news of the week was that J. W.
Stacy had succeeded in making good
on his contract with the owners of
the bos Olivos Heights tract and after
an energetic advertising campaign
sold enough lots in the tract to cause
the realty circles to set up and take
notice.
AVithin the last ten days he sold
no less than thirty-two lots in this at
tractive addition. There are a. few
remaining lots here for disposal but
a great deal less than a third of the
lots left. J,os Olivos is so well sit

one of the additions of the city. That
particular section of the city is rapid

f During the past week or so con
siderable discussion has been had
relative to a reorganization of the
Phoenix Real Estate Board, with the
result that after a meeting or two,
some definite steps were taken. From
the present appearances the new
board will be a definite portion of
the board of trade and will work
with that organization in upbuilding
the city and valley. The history of
the work to -date is as follows:
The Phoenix realty board was
called together for their first meeting
Monday. May 11th. A. AY. Galpin
took the chair and in a brief manner
stated the object of the meeting and
read the names of the brokers who
had already made application for
membership. After considerable dis
cussion it was unanimously agreed
that no definite plans for organiza
tion be completed at this meeting
and that the election of officers be
postponed until another date. The
chair was authorized to appoint such
committees as he might deem proper
with results as follows: Constitution
end by-laws, H. S. Prince, R. S.
Thompson and S. P. Healey; mem
bership, L. G. Hays, Fred Jacobs and
C. B. Bernard; nominations, H. S.
i Groom, T. M. Burroughs and AV. K.
James. The by-laws committee have
completed their efforts; the member
ship committee has succeeded in in
ducing nearly every firm in the city
to become members of this board,
the nomination committee will make
their report at ' the next meeting,
which will be held at the Phoenix
board of trade, Monday night, May
25, at eight p. m. At this meeting
an election will be held for officers
to serve for the ensuing year, the
tcnstitution and by-laws will be
rdopted and auch other business as
may come before the board will have
its proper attention at this time. The
temporary officers most earnestly
rcu,uest that all signed members of
this board be present at this meet
ing, as business of importance, in
addition to the election of officers,
will be considered.
The Phoenix realty board is to be
a part of the Phoenix board of trade
and will be known as the Phoenix
realty board of the Phoenix board of
trade. The objects of this board
shall be to secure for its members
the benefit or the united efforts and
concentrated power to the end that
the evils and annoyances now con
nected with the transaction of the
business of dealing in real estate
shall be abated, to promote good
fellowship and fair dealings, to pro
tect both its members and the pub
lic in general from irresponsible, un
principled and dishonest dealers, to
promote the enactment of legislation
for the protection of property rights
and the dealings pertaining thereto,
to do all else in its power which
may tend to the upbuilding of the
stability and dignity of dealing in
real : estate and to secure uniformity
of action in all matters having for
their object the welfare of the city
of Phoenix and the Salt River A'al
ley generally.
The membership shall be unlimited,
but each application of membership
shall be voted upon at a regular
' meeting. Any person or firm en
gaged in the real estate and land or
real estate loan business, or in the
management of such property, and
who maintains an office in the city
of Phwnix for the transaction of
such business, shall be eligible for
regular membership.
In conjunction with the Phoenix
realty board, a valuation committee
shall he appointed to consist of five
members and they shall make ap
praisal of real property when applied
for. This committee will be of im
mense value to outsiders and to the
probate court, it being the first
organized body in a position to know
real estate values that services could
be had or depended upon.
There has been no difference made
in the schedule of commissions. The
board has adopted rules of conduct
which, if lived up to, will be the
means to bringing all of the differ
ent members of this board together
in a very satisfactory manner. Con
fidence is the foundation upon which
wy business structure, to prove last
ing, must be built. Especially is it
true of the real estate brokerage
business. That its members may
merit the confidence reposed in them
by ' the general public upon which
they must depend for their success
and that they may stand high in the
estorm of their fellows. One of the
rules adopted by th; board wUl be
found in Article A'lII of the consti
tution and by-laws, which is as fol
lows: "Any member found guilty of
fraud or dishonesty towards this
board, its members, or in any deal
ing -with clients, after due investi
gation by an appointed committee,
may be disciplined, suspended, or
expelled, provided at least four-fifths
of the members vote for conviction."
This nrticle, being adopted, makes
Work on Alfalfa Ranches ir
Vallej- of Giant Subsoiler
Seems to SIioav Solution
of the Former Knotty
Problem
Almost everyone has heard the fa
mous alfalfa truism that is credited
to Secretary Coburn of Kansas, "Al
falfa makes poor land good, and good
land better." Judging from the re
cent experiments in the Salt River
Valley, this might be paraphrased to
read, "Subsoiling makes poor alfalfa
good, and good alfalfa better." A
splendid demonstration of the results
of subsoiling may be observed at the
ranch of Charles M. Smith, located
north of Alhambra and about three
miles due west from the Indian
School. Side by srde are two fields
of alfalfa, both seeded two years ago.
One seven acre field was subsoiled
in January, 1913, and not only was
the yield increased over four-fold,
but the stand over the whole tract
is absolutely regular, whereas before
the fild had been somewhat
"spotty."
There are many splendid alfalfa
ranches in the valley, where there is
an occasional streak or spot where
the soil doesn't seem to "take the
water," where the alfalfa makes a
fair start every spring and then
seems to be stunted. Many methods
have been tried to change this con
dition, but subsoiling appears to be
the most economical and efficient.
At the present time Kunz Bros. &
Messinger are demonstrating a Rum-
ely oil-pull tractor and a double
gang subsoiler on the Hirst-Baldwin
ranch, seven miles west of the fair
grounds, no acres of young alfalfa
are being subsoiled here, and it is
interesting indeed to see the soil lift
up several inches, crack, crumple and
settle down, thoroughly broken up,
as the deep-running plows are pulled
through the ground by the powerful
engine. The two subsoilers are set
to run about 15 inches deep, and run
forty inches apart, making only a
narrow incision in the surface and
doing comparatively little damage to
the alfalfa plants. C. T. Hirst has
figured out several improvements on
the subsoiler used, placing a coulter
wheel under the beam, and changing

it safe for any person to enter the
office of any member of the Phoenix
realty board and transact their busi
ness without fear of falling into the
hands of seme irresponsible, unprin
cipled and dishonest dealer. This
board will endeavor to have passed
at an early date a city ordinance
which will assist them in protecting
the general public from unprincipled
and unlicensed dealers.
the angles of the shares and up
rights. Although the shares are but
a few inches wide, and are set 40
inches apart, the ground is thorough
ly loosened from furrow to furrow.
It is estimated that the work costs
$2.50 per acre, and this amount is
leally inconsequential when one fig
ures how much the operation im
proves soil conditions, how it loosens
and lightens the ground, breaking it
up so that the air can get into it, so
that a vastly greater amount of wat
er is quickly taken up, creating in a
way a sub-irrigation system, one
that permits heavier irrigation ai
each run, and longer periods "be
tween drinks" for the lower depth
of water saturation tends to retard
evaporation.
Professor King of the University
of AVisconsin. a practical student of
agricultural physics, and regarded as
one of the world's foremost experts
en soil handling says, "Subsoiling is
undoubtedly most profitable in semi
arid climates, tending as it does, to
increase the available moisture . for
rop production.
It is not necessary to wait an en
tire season to see the good results
of subsoiling, for on Northern ave
nue, near the AVashington school, on
a ranch belonging to the Valley Re
alty company may be seen a great
improvement in a field of alfalfa
that was worked over just a short
time aso.
From the Hirst-Baldwin ranch, the
outfit goes a few miles farther west,
to the Dwight B. Heard "West ranch"
where for the next few days it will
be at work subsoiling an 80-acre
tract.
SELLING GOOD

GASOLIXE 18c PER GALLON AT
M'ARTHL'H BROTHERS. It
AVATCH FOR THE NEW CHASE
TRUCKS. (Advertisement.) tf
One of the most successful and pop
ular reaJty operators in this section
is F. AV. Shedd of the Greene and I
i
Griffin company"s force who handles
the out of town property for this big
concern. Recently Mr. Shedd has been
most successful in his endeavors to
sell improved ranches to newcomers
who desire improved property for the
purimce of starting right in being'
Arizonians. I
One of the notable sales was that to
R. B. Marlett of Corona, Calif., who i
purchased from the A'alley Bank the'
160 acres in the northwest quarter of
section twenty-nine two and a half
miles north of Glendale. The ranch is
one of the best improved alfalfa pro-
perties recently sold. Its value is
said to be in advance of $24,400 which
is approximately what it brought on'
the market. I
Mr. Marlett is an experienced cattle
and hog raiser and intends to embark
in the business in this valley. He
thinks that the chances for making
the alfalfa fields pay in return for
pasturage instead of the other means
of remuneration are exceedingly good
and intends to give the proposition
a thorough trial. j
An other splendid sale made by Mr.
Shedd, was the purchase by AVilliam
Whitfield of sixty acres on Northern
avenue nine miles from Phoenix for I
$12,0(io. Mr. Whitfield expects to pas-'
ture the land to cattle. He has con-'
siderable experience in feeding and is
impressed with the opportunities in
this section.
BURROUGHS
BANNER H
The banner week in the history
of the operations of the T. M. Bur
roughs company closed yesterday
with a record number of sales,
amounting to $!)2,000. This natur
ally involved quite a large number
of different transactions. Many of
these were sales of houses and lots
within the city, while some of thy
others were transactions Involving
fuim and ranch valley land.
Early in the week Mr. Burroughs
sold to C. P Pitret, a contractor and
builder, eleven lots. Mr. Pitret an
nounces that he will begin building
at once and expects to erect on this
property homes which he will put
on the market.
To M. Ellingson of Tempe, a two
story double-apartment house at 114
East Roosevelt street, was disposed
of. Mr. Ellingson's idea is invest
ment. In a deal with E. J. Flumerfelt- of
Tempe, the two-story concrete double
house at 1300 AVest Adams; two
story house at 1306 AVest Adams;
two six-room bungalows in the 1400
block on A"est Adams, were part of
the consideration given for the splen
did 173-ocre ranch of Mr. Flumer
felt on the south side.
Thirteen and one-half acres oppo
site Bella A'ista Place were sold to
Murphy & Irvin, which will be im
proved. In the Flumerfelt transac
tion Mr. Burroughs was assisted by
Crook .t Pafford of Tempe.
