 PRESIDENT ^VILSONS CALL 
 FOR FOOD CONSERVATION 
 
 "'"P'HE chief part of the burden of 
 finding food supphes for the 
 peoples associated with us in 
 war falls for the present upon 
 the American people, and the 
 drain on supplies on such a 
 scale necessarily effects to con- 
 serve our necessities of life. 
 
 USE SURPLUS AND ELIMINATE WASTE 
 "Our country, however, is blessed with an 
 abundance of foodstuffs, and if our people will 
 economize in their use of food, providently con- 
 fining themselves to the quantities required for 
 the maintenance of health and strength ; if they 
 will eliminate waste ; and if they will make use 
 of those commodities of which we have a surplus 
 and thus free for export a larger proportion of 
 those required by the world now dependent upon 
 us, we shall not only be able to accomplish our 
 obligations to them, but we shall obtain and 
 establish reasonable prices at home. 
 
 "To provide an adequate supply of food both 
 for our own soldiers on the other side of the seas 
 and for the civil population and the armies of the 
 allies is one of our first and foremost obligations ; 
 for if we are to maintain their constancy in this 
 struggle for the independence of all nations we 
 must first maintain their health and strength. 
 The solution of our own problems, therefore, is 
 dependent upon the individual service of every 
 man, woman and child in the United States. The 
 great voluntary effort in this direction which has 
 been initiated and organized by the food admin- 
 istration under my direction offers an oppor- 
 tunity of service in the war which is open to 
 every individual and by which every individual 
 may serve both his own people and the peoples 
 of the world. 
 
 PLEDGES ARE ASKED FOR HOOVER 
 "We cannot accomplish our objects in this 
 great war without sacrifice and devotion, and in 
 no direction can that sacrifice and devotion be 
 shown more than by each home and public eating 
 place in the country pledging its support to the 
 Food Administration and complying with its re- 
 quests." 
 
WHAT TO EAT 
 
 In Order To Serve 
 
 "Eat plenty, but wisely and with- 
 out waste. Buy less ; cook no 
 more than necessary ; serve 
 smaller portions. Preach and 
 practice the gospel of the clean 
 plate. Use local and seasonable 
 supplies ; watch out for waste. 
 Whenever possible, use poultry, game and sea 
 foods in place of beef, mutton and pork. Use 
 potatoes and other vegetables freely. Save 
 wheat by substituting in part cornmeal and other 
 cereal flours for wheat flour. Save butter and 
 lard. Use butter on the table, but substitute 
 vegetable oils for cooking. Save sugar. Use less 
 candy and sweet drinks and less sugar in tea and 
 coffee." — Herbert Hoover. 
 
 Arizona W^ill Do Her Part 
 
 "Always in the lead, never slack- 
 ing in any duty, Arizona has re- 
 sponded to the call for service in 
 the homes by immediate substi- 
 tution for foods needed by our 
 allies and our soldiers abroad. 
 The result of the pledge card 
 campaign shows that Arizona is in earnest, as 
 she always is, in matters of vital moment. The 
 little army of Arizona households now enlisted 
 in the nation's call for more food for export will 
 do its duty in this as well as the many other 
 phases of war work in which it will be called 
 upon to give service." — Timothy A. Riordan, 
 United States Food Administrator for Arizona.

 FOREWORD 
 
 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ARIZONA COUNCIL OF DEFENSE: 
 
 We herewith hand you the latest report of the Chairman of the State Council 
 of Defense to the Executive Committee, as well as a summary prepared showing the 
 definite work of the State Council of Defense to that date. 
 
 We are glad to advise you that the crop survey for the entire state, which has 
 involved an immense amount of work and in which we have had the help of the 
 Extension Service of the University of Arizona under the successful leadership of 
 Professor E. P. Taylor and the active help of all the County Farm Advisers as well 
 as hundreds of volunteer workers, is now fully completed, and we herewith hand 
 you a tabulated statement showing the acreage in crops throughout the state. 
 
 The immense increase in the acreage on such food crops as potatoes, beans and 
 garden truck is an interesting illustration of the practical value of the organized 
 drive for increased food production commenced last April under the able direction of 
 our committee of Food Production and Conservation. 
 
 We are sending to the chairmen of the various County of Defense Councils the 
 details of crops by districts of each county, and believe that by careful study of 
 these crop surveys the planting for the coming season can be done on a basis which 
 will result to the decided benefit of the people of this state as the knowledge will be 
 given them of what food crops they are short, thus enabling them by intelligent 
 planting to supplement their shortage. 
 
 The county agents in each county will also have a copy of their county crop 
 survey, and will naturally give every possible assistance to the farmers in their 
 plans for the coming season's planting. 
 
 The welfare work among the families of the men who have gone to the various 
 branches of national service from Arizona, as outlined by the Chairman in his 
 report to the Executive Committee, is now well under way, and we are receiving 
 most excellent co-operation from the commanding officers in the various camps. 
 The following letter was received from General Wood and shows his appreciation 
 of this plan: 
 
 Camp Funston, Kansas, October 19, 1917. 
 "Mr. Dwight B. Heard, Chairman, 
 
 "State House, Phoenix, Arizona. 
 
 "Dear Sir: Your letter of the 16th, informing me you have forwarded 3,600 
 welfare service cards, is received. We will do the best we can for you in this 
 matter. Of course, you understand we are still engaged in the clerical work of 
 
 —3— 
 
classifying these men according to occupation, etc., and there may be some delay 
 in getting the data you want. It seems to me you have taken up a very important 
 piece of work — one which I trust will be carried forward successfully. If the men 
 in the ranks can only be made to feel that there is an organization back home 
 which is looking after their dependent families and trying to help wherever help is 
 needed, it will do much to cheer them up and strengthen the fighting line. If every 
 community would organize a society to look after the needy dependents of those 
 at the front, it would be one of the finest movements ever undertaken." 
 
 "Yours truly, 
 
 "LEONARD WOOD." 
 
 A copy of the welfare service cards referred to will be found in this pamphlet 
 on page sixteen. 
 
 As the work of the Council of Defense develops, it becomes very desirable that 
 County Councils should be organized in all counties of the state. Six counties are 
 already so organized. We anticipate that you will probably visit Phoenix during the 
 State Fair, and we are hoping during the week of the fair to arrange for meetings 
 at our new headquarters, one hundred and eighteen North Central Avenue, of mem- 
 bers from the various covinties, so that nucleus of a county organization in every 
 county not now organized may be perfected during fair week. We trust that shortly 
 after your arrival in Phoenix you will report at headquarters that we may arrange 
 for a definite meeting of the members of the Council of Defense from your county. 
 
 You will be interested to know that the Council of Defense has kept in close 
 touch with President Wilson's Federal Labor Commission now in the state, and that 
 its work is progressing very satisfactorily. 
 
 In line with the recommendation of the Chairman of the Executive Committee, 
 resignations have been asked and received from all the members of the old Labor 
 Committee which was deadlocked, and at the next meeting of the Executive Com- 
 mittee a new committee will be formed which we believe will be a thoroughly active, 
 constructive committee, on which will be representatives of organized labor, the large 
 employers of labor, and a group of four or five men of high standing involved on 
 neither side of the labor troubles of the state, but with records for ability, good 
 judgment and .lustice. We believe that a committee created along these lines can 'be 
 of great benefit in developing in Arizona the industrial peace so greatly needed. 
 
 The grim reality of this war is being steadily brought home to the American 
 people, and they are steadily awakening to the fact that each man and each woman 
 can and should render some definite service to the nation in its time of need. Witti 
 Russia inactive as an ally, with Italy in retreat, and with France on the verge of 
 Starvation, each day it becomes more apparent that it is the effective use of the 
 men, money and food of the United States, that from now on will be the big factor in 
 winning this war for Democracy.. 
 
 The great success of the Liberty Loan shows the American people are equally 
 behind the government in this fight. The subscription by the million and a half 
 men now in the army for over $80,000,000 of Liberty Bonds, has been an inspiring 
 example of devotion to the country, and the way the people from one end of the 
 country to the other are rallying to the support of Mr. Hoover in his campaign to 
 save food, that our boys at the front and our allies may be better fed, proves that 
 the men and women are ready for the campaign of real national service. 
 
 Each day brings new evidence that the people of Arizona want the chance to 
 work to help win this war. And the Council of Defense will endeavor, through the 
 county organizations, to outline practical plans of work in which each patriotic 
 citizen may have some definite and useful service to perform. 
 
 This pamphlet gives you some idea of what has been done to date and of the 
 constructive plans for the future, and if our funds permit we hope to issue a 
 similar pamphlet every few months. 
 
 Hoping to see you during fair week and have the benefit of your advice and 
 counsel at that time, we remain 
 
 Faithfully yours,

Summary Covering Principal NA^ork Done 
 by The State Council or Defense or Its 
 Sub-Committees, Since Its Organization, 
 
 April 19, 1917. 
 
 FOOD PRODUCTION AND FOOD CONSERVATION 
 
 In the organized campaign in the state to speed up production, stop waste 
 and conserve food, the people throughout the state liave given splendid support 
 to this movement which lias been largely carried on under the direction of our 
 Conservation Committee of which Dr. R. B. \'on KleinSmid is chairman. Meetings 
 have been held all over the state and speakers have been provided, with the result 
 that our productive acreage has been immensely increased and the state will pro- 
 duce more food this year than at any time in its history. 
 
 The women, under the vigorous leadership of Mrs. Pauline M. O'Neill, have 
 been exceptionally active in the campaign for eliminating waste in the home and 
 for canning fruits and vegetables. 
 
 Realizing the need of direction in the most practical methods of fruit canning, 
 drying and preserving, Miss Grace I. Tufts was secured by the Woman's Auxuliary 
 of the Council of Defense, to assist in this work during the canning season, which 
 resulted in the saving of much fruit that would have been wasted. 
 
 A few definite examples of the results of this general work may be interesting. 
 In 1916, according to the tax commission report, the cultivated area through irriga- 
 tion in Maricopa County was 212,344 acres, or nearly 60 per cent of the total irri- 
 gated areas of the state. According to our completed crop survey this j-ear there 
 are 266,362 acres in cultivation. While much of this increased area is due to natural 
 development, a large share of this increased productive area is undoubtedly due to 
 the systematic drive made for increased production. Hundreds of new gardens 
 have been started. The school garden idea has been vigorously developed and in 
 my own school district 35 new school gardens have been started. Our acreage in 
 milo maize, a very valuable food crop, has been greatly increased. The last of 
 May when the Maricopa County survey was completed, 14,723 acres were found 
 planted in milo maize, and in the months of June and July, many thousand acres 
 were added to this acreage, giving us an acreage of undoubtedly twice the amount 
 of this crop of any previous year. In the various counties of the state a special 
 drive has been made to secure additional plantings in beans, and from the figures 
 now coming in this acreage will be several times that of any previous year. In 
 Coconino County in the North, under the leadership of some of the members of our 
 State Council of Defense, a very great increase in potato planting has been made, 
 and reports indicate that Coconino County alone will produce this year three 
 hundred and seventy-five car loads of potatoes as against fifty car loads produced 
 last year. 
 
 The movement for small gardens throughout the state has been given a tre- 
 mendous impetus. One of the interesting demonstrations of what can be practically 
 done with the small garden has been made near Miami under the direction of Mr. 
 C. E. Mills of our State Council, where fifty-four acres, formerly unproductive, 
 under the supervision of Mr. J. R. Standige, have been put into war gardens where 
 the workmen of that community, under a co-operative plan, are raising great quan- 
 tities of garden truck which it is estimated will be worth between $15,000 and 
 $30,000 before Christmas. 
 
CROP SURVEY 
 
 In order to have exact facts of our present food production in the state for the 
 use of the Food Administrator in his work, a complete crop survey of the state has 
 been prepared, with the co-operation of Prof. E. P. Taylor in charge of the ex- 
 tension service of the University of Arizona and the county agricultural agents, and 
 was ready for delivery to Mr. Timothy A. Riordan, Food Administrator for Arizona, 
 on November 1. In this state-wide crop survey hundreds of volunteer workers 
 have given from one day to a week's service, while many automobiles have been 
 donated for the field work. Crop sheets containing the result of this work will be 
 found in this report. 
 
 EFFICIENCY OF WOMEN'S WORK 
 
 The well organized work done by the women of the state to conserve 
 food in the home and stop waste has laid a firm foundation for Mr. Riordan's work. 
 In fact, in all this work, we believe that of the women has shown the highest 
 standard of efficiency. 
 
 HELP IN OBTAINING LABORERS 
 
 As a result of the action of the Executive Committee and interviews of its 
 Chairman with Secretary of Labor Wilson and Assistant Secretary Post, at 
 Washington, the suspension of the alien labor immigration clause and the per 
 capita tax as to Mexican labor for agricultural purposes in Arizona has resulted in 
 bringing in thousands of much needed laborers into the agricultural communities, 
 thus releasing many of the laborers for the industrial work. 
 
 REGISTRATION AND ENLISTMENTS 
 
 Organized work in helping to make registration day a success, including posters 
 in foreign languages, badges, furnishing speakers and so forth. 
 
 Organized effort to increase enlistments in the Arizona National Guard Regi- 
 ment and letter sent out on June 18th, signed by Governor Thomas E. Campbell, 
 John C. Greenway, and the Chairman of the Council of Defense, to 2300 representa- 
 tive men of the state urging them to use their best efforts to secure one or two 
 definite recruits. 
 
 LIBERTY LOAN 
 
 Active assistance given by members of the Council of Defense throughout the 
 state in making the Liberty Loan campaigns a success, and a resolution of the 
 Executive Committee on this subject was given publicity throughout the state; 
 and vigorous participation by many members of the State Council in making 
 Arizona's contribution to the $100,000,000 Red Cross Fund a success. 
 
 WORK OF BOY'S RESERVE 
 
 Active assistance given to the Boy's working reserve in Maricopa County, and 
 boy scouts in Yavapai County in organized agricultural work done this summer. 
 This work, throughout the state has been placed under the leadership of Mr. Lin B. 
 Orme who has devoted much time and energy to the work with very .-^lucessful 
 results. This boy's reserve in Maricopa County which was organized under a 
 military form, hoed 2,220 acres of cotton, dug 25 acres of potatoes and picked 85 
 acres of melons. Seventy-seven boys were employed in this work. They earned 
 $7,600. paid all exi)enses, and at the close of the season each boy had a comfortal)le 
 nest egg of earnings. The camps were run on a strictly business-like basis. The 
 spirit shown by the boys was splendid and the same fine spirit of service was evi- 
 denced by the boys in Yavapai County, who were under the leadership of County 
 Chairman Hoogestratt. This movement is not only an advantage from an agricul- 
 tural standpoint, but it develops manliness and a spirit of service on the part of the 
 boys, and it is hoped will be largely extended next season.

CO-OPERATION OF THE COUNTY AGENTS 
 
 Throughout the state wherever County Agents were established the Council 
 has worked in the most thorough co-operation with such agents. An illustration 
 of the results of such co-operation in Maricopa County is shown in the furnishing 
 of silo forms by the County Agent to the farmers at a fee of Twenty-five dollars, 
 the cost of these forms being met by the Council of Defense. This greatly de- 
 • creases the cost of silos. 
 
 LECTURES BY DR. VON KLEINSMID 
 
 To awaken an increased spirit of patriotic service, under the auspices of the 
 State Council of Defense, Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid, Chairman of our Conservation 
 ring his lecture, "Amei-ica's Duty in theCommittee, made state-wide tours, delive 
 War with Germany." These lectures were very largely attended and did much to 
 awaken the people to the duties confronting them. 
 
 WORK OF VARIOUS SUB-COMMITTEES 
 
 In co-operation with the National Council of Defense, a committee known as 
 The Four-Minute Men Committee, was created under the able leadership of Mr. 
 George J. Stoneman, who is co-operating with Mr. E. J. Cooper, representing the 
 moving picture industry in Arizona, for the showing of patriotic films throughout 
 the state and making four-minute talks. This speaking campaign has already been 
 started. 
 
 The Committee on Public Defense and Security, of which Capt. John C. 
 Greenway is Chairman, has been exceptionally thorough in its work of organizing 
 men of the state for home protection. This has involved an immense amount of 
 work which has been done in a systematic way, making it of exceedingly practical 
 value. 
 
 Under the direction of the Committee on Transportation of which Col. Epes 
 Randolph is chairman, a complete survey has been made of the transportation fa- 
 cilities of the state, including automobiles, all of which have been listed, placing 
 them in readiness for national service in case of any emergency. 
 
 The plans formulated in the organization of the Committee on Scientific Re- 
 search, under the leadership of Dr. D. T. MacDougal, have been carried out; a list 
 made of the scientifically trained men of the state, including the physicians which 
 number about 1200; the laboratory facilities of the state have been ascertained; and 
 while the number of scientists who have been called to direct military service is 
 not definitely known, it will be ascertained. The several members of the com- 
 mittee have been engaged directly in their special sciences, in co-operation with 
 various national bodies. The research work of the committee is mostly of such 
 confidential nature that it is deemed inadvisable to describe either its methods or 
 its results in detail, however, the rare metals, sugars, rubber and foods have come 
 under the survey of this committee, whose work has been of very great value. 
 
 The Committee on Relief, of which Judge Edward W. Wells is chairman, has 
 organized its work throughout the state, is co-operating thoroughly with the Red 
 Cross and will be in a position to handle vigorously the new work before it with 
 the departure of our boys to the front. 
 
 The Committee on Public Health and Sanitation, under the direction of its 
 chairman, Dr. R. N. Looney, has completed a full report showing the number and 
 location of all hospitals within the state, number of beds in each, location of all 
 available temporary hospitals and all other information which would be of value in 
 case of an emergency. 
 
 Under the leadership of Mr. Allan B. Jaynes, Chairman of the Committee on 
 Publicity, weekly and sometimes daily publicity has been distributed throughout 
 the State, covering the information furnished us from the National Council of 
 Defense and outlining and referring to work undertaken by the State Council. A 
 pamphlet also was distributed during the month of June, briefly outlining the 
 practical work under way. 
 
 The Finance Committee, through its Chairman, Mr. John H. Page, has raised 
 the necessary funds for the above work through the contributions of public spirited 
 citizens and the financial support given this work by a number of the counties 
 
 —7— 
 
through their boards of supervisors; the total amount of disbursements to date — 
 October 1, amounting to $7,259.28 — have been all paid out under a careful voucher 
 system. All officers of the Council except the Secretary, of course, serve v^^ithout 
 compensation, paying- their own expenses in connection with this work. 
 
 The mineral survey of the state under the direction of Prof. C. F. Willis, Direc- 
 tor of the School of Mines, University of Arizona, and Secretary of the Committee 
 on Scientific Research of the State Council, is nearly completed. Prof. Willis is now 
 arranging for illustrated lectures to be given in evei'y county showing results of this 
 work and encouraging prospectors to search for rare minerals for use in munition 
 making. This should prove a very valuable development movement. 
 
 THE CO-OPERATION OF THE U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY AND 
 BUREAU OF MARKETS 
 
 In co-operation with the State Council of Defense, the U. S. Geological Survey, 
 under the direction of Mr. D. A. Gilchrist, State Leader of Rodent Control, has suc- 
 ceeded in ridding the agricultural areas of the northern counties of the State of 
 immense numbers of Prairie dogs. The survey made by the Council of Defense 
 included an inquiry regarding the presence of the pests and this information so out- 
 lined was immediately turned over to Mr. Gilchrist who gave prompt attention to 
 the work of destroying these pests. This hac proven a very valuable food conser- 
 vation measure. Also, in this connection the services of the Assistant State Ento- 
 mologist, Dr. O. C. Bartlett, i-endered were very valuable in destroying food consum- 
 ing bugs. 
 
 The State Council also co-operated with Mr. J. H. Collins, representing the U. S. 
 Bureau of Markets, in assisting Maricopa County potato growers in obtaining their 
 just claims upon potato shipments, which resulted in the distribution among them 
 of several thousands of dollars. 
 
 MARKETING pOARD IN COCONINO COUNTY 
 
 The Council, through its Secretary, Mr. George Smalley, organized a marketing 
 board in Coconino County, under the chairmanship of Dr. V. M. Slipher, to assist in 
 marketing the largely increased crop of potatoes. 
 
 BOOKS FOR MILITARY CAMPS 
 
 Recently the Council has assisted in getting books for the use of our enlisted 
 men's clubs, which are forwarded to the various camps as soon as gathered. Mrs. 
 Pauline M. O'Neill has been in charge of this very practical work. 
 
 CONCLUSION 
 
 In addition to this work an immense amount of routine correspondence has 
 been handled, both with the National Council of Defense and sub-committees and 
 others who come in contact witli the work of the State Council. 
 
 We feel that we have at least Ijlazed a trail for intelligent national service. The 
 work was new and there has naturally been some wasted energy. With the experi- 
 ence gained and a steadily increasing co-operation on the part of tlie people, the work 
 should constantly increase in efficiency and usefulness. 
 
 The most important work now before us, in our judgment, is the development of 
 some practical plan in thorough co-operation with the Red Cross, which will assure 
 to our boys at the front the welfare of their families during their absence in the 
 national service. It seems our clear duty to work out such a plan to the end that 
 want comes to the families of none of these young men while they are away, and we 
 believe work along these lines will find a liberal response from the patriotic men 
 and women of this State.

Report of JJw^ignt B. rleard. Chairman, State Council oi Defense, 
 
 to the Executive Committee at its Meeting 
 
 October 1, 1917 
 
 This morning you iiave heard the reports of the chairmen of the various sub- 
 committees, and I herewith hand you a summary of the principal work of the 
 Council since its creation the latter part of April: 
 
 The task before us has been a new one, and sometimes it has been rather diffi- 
 cult to blaze a trail which would lead to strictly practical results, but from now on, 
 with the vigorous co-operation of the people of the State, we ought to decidedly 
 increase the efficiency of our work. 
 
 We have now come to a time when we must look the facts squarely in the face 
 and realize that with Russia ineffective and the continued success of the submarine 
 the task of winning this war for democracy is being steadily shifted onto the shoul- 
 ders of this nation. Our men and munitions are not only needed, but vast and 
 steadily increasing quantities of food and money, and the faster we furnish these 
 supplies the better will we safeguard the lives of our own boys who are offering their 
 all for the country. Our task is a stupendous one, but none too great for the 
 courage and genius of our people if we can succeed in efficiently mobilizing the 
 entire resources of the country for national service, check greed and waste, and 
 bring food and fuel to our industrial workers at such prices as will create content- 
 ment and insure uninterrupted industry. 
 
 The problem now before this Committee is to provide a practical, constructive 
 plan, based on the experience already gained, by which Arizona could do its full 
 share to win this war, and it seems our plain duty to organize the steadily growing 
 spirit of service within this State. If we are to make good in the constructive task 
 which we have undertaken, we must present to the people a plan for work — the talk- 
 ing period is past. 
 
 REALITY BROUGHT HOME 
 
 As each group of our boys leave for the front, the reality of this war is brought 
 directly into thousands of homes of this State, and there is being steadily awakened 
 a growing desire on the part of those at home to put their shoulder to the wheel 
 and do their share in work. The scoffer will always exist, but,^ fortunately, there 
 are tens of thousands of patriotic men and women in the State who are now only 
 asking for a chance to be of some real service. The women, through the Red 
 Cross, and other kindred organizations, have already made a splendid record for 
 public service in many ways throughout the State. 
 
 In the call for this meeting, I have outlined certain definite, practical work which 
 I believe should be taken up with this Council, and which if vigorously and thor- 
 oughly conducted, will give worthwhile results. 
 
 INSURE WELFARE OF THOSE LEFT 
 
 The first suggestions follows: '.'First. The development of some practical plan 
 in co-opeartion with the Red Cross, assuring our boys at the front of the welfare 
 of their families during their absence. It seems but simple justice that some such 
 plan be adopted, to the end that want comes to the families of none of these young 
 men while they are in service, and that our service is performed in a spirit of 
 patriotic duty." 
 
 In reference to this suggestion, I find existing throughout all portions of the 
 State a desire to get back of our boys to the limit, and throughout the State organi- 
 zations have been formed, or are about to be formed, to keep in close touch with 
 the boys at the front, supply their needs, and l)e prepared to relieve their families 
 in case of want. I believe that this whole matter should be systematically handled 
 by the Council of Defense and that we should obtain a card index of every man 
 from Arizona in all branches of the national service, with a record of his dependents, 
 if any, and all other information which can be transmitted to these various local 
 organizations for their use. 
 
 Definite financial relief under the organization of the National Red Cross should 
 probably be extended through that organization, but the State Council should gather 
 the essential facts and keep in close touch with all these organizaions so that all 
 
 —12— 
 
relief work will be complete and thorough, but all overlapping of work will be 
 avoided. 
 
 We get an idea of how really big this problem is when we take the figures of 
 the men who are actually going into the service from this State. These give us a 
 total of five thousand three hundred and eleven divided as follows: 
 
 NEW NATIONAL ARMY 
 
 First Allotment, (left for service September 6) 177 
 
 Second Allotment, (left for service September 19, 20 and 21) 1,389 
 
 Third Allotment, (to go into service October 3) 1,389 
 
 Fourth Allotment, (date of service not yet decided) 517 
 
 Total 3,472 
 
 In service in the National guard from Arizona 679 
 
 Enlisted in Regular Army from Arizona 968 
 
 Quartermaster's Corps 53 
 
 Aviation Corps 52 
 
 Medical Corps 59 
 
 Signal Corps 62 
 
 Engineers Corps 29 
 
 Are included in this 968 
 
 Enlistments in the Navy 164 
 
 Enlistments in the Marines 28 
 
 Total of men in the service from Arizona 5,311 
 
 AID FOOD ADMINISTRATION 
 
 The second suggestion made in the call for this meeting is as follows: 
 
 "Second. Our State crop survey is nearly complete and ready for delivery to 
 Mr. Timothy A. Riordan, State Food Administrator, and plans should be evolved to 
 give to Mr. Riordan on behalf of the Council of Defense the largest possible co-op- 
 eration in the great constructive task he has on hand." 
 
 Fortunately, a large amount of preliminary work has been done through the 
 Council, particularly through our Committee on Food Conservation, which will be 
 very useful to Mr. Riordan in the big constructive work which he has undertaken, 
 and the Council through its Committees will, of course, render to Mr. Riordan every 
 possible co-operation. 
 
 The completed crop map of the State — the first ever made in Arizona — which 
 has been prepared under the direct charge of the State Council by its Statistician, 
 Mr. J. E. Sellers, will be ready to turn over to Mr. Riordan in about ten days, and 
 will be a valuable base on which to develop agricultural production for the coming 
 year. 
 
 This question of food control, conservation and distribution has a very vital 
 relation to winning this war: Not only are our allies confronted with starvation 
 unless we materially increase our supplies of foodstuffs to them, but the efforts of 
 the Food Administration to reduce the cost of living are going to be of immense 
 help in settling the industrial unrest apparent in many sections of our country. No 
 more convincing evidence of the need of the Food Administration can be shown than 
 in the recently published Government statistics, showing that in the twelve months 
 preceding July fifteenth. Nineteen Hundred Seventeen, general retail food prices 
 had advanced thirty-two per cent. Since the organization of the Food Administra- 
 tion, these prices have steadily declined: Flour in the New York market has dropped 
 three dollars a barrel, and the past month shows a steady decrease on nearly all 
 food necessities. 
 
 In the work throughout this State much co-operative work can be done be- 
 tween the Food Administration and the State Council which will decrease the ex- 
 pense of the work and add to its efficiency. 
 
 PLAN OF COUNTY COUNCILS 
 
 The third suggestion presented in the call for this meeting follows: 
 "Third. The development of a plan — which is strongly urged by the National 
 Council of Defense and which has met with marked success in other states — is that 
 of creating active County Councils to work in strict co-operation with the State 
 
 —13— 
 
Councils of Defense. Several of these County Councils have already been organized 
 in this State with satisfactory results." 
 
 In this connection, we are advised by the National Council that in nearly every 
 state complete county organizations have been created working through and in strict 
 co-operation with their State Councils. Many matters of local interest will arise 
 which can be best handled by a County Council of Defense. Other matters will come 
 up where quick action is needed in some county in co-operation with the State Coun- 
 cil, whereby getting in touch with the Chairman and Secretary of the County Council 
 prompt results can be obtained. As a nucleus for such County Councils, I suggest 
 the present membership of the State Council in the county, with the right, of 
 course, for such members to extend their membership in any way as seems most 
 practical in which they may cover systematically their entire counties. County Coun- 
 cils have already been started in Graham, Pinal, Pima, Santa Cruz, Yuma, Coconino 
 and Yavapai Counties; and the completion of the councils throughout the State, 
 and the enlargement of the existing County Councils will greatly simplify our work 
 and be of particular help in the welfare work for our boys and their families. 
 
 The fourth suggestion follows: 
 
 WORK FOR LIBERTY LOAN 
 
 "Fourth. Outlining an effective plan to assist in promptly placing Arizona's 
 quota of the forthcoming Liberty Loan." 
 
 I believe that ways and means to assist the Liberty Loan Committee appointed 
 under the direction of the Director of the Federal Reserve Bank should be worked 
 out through this Council, preferably through its Finance Committee, to the end that 
 Arizona may equal in the second allotment of Liberty Loan Bonds the fine record 
 made on the first allotment. 
 
 DISPLAY AT STATE FAIR 
 
 The fifth suggestion follows: 
 
 "Fifth. The consideration of ways and means of making a patriotic display at 
 the State Fair." 
 
 An excellent opportunity is given the Council through the co-operation of the 
 State Fair Commission to bring the practical work which it has under way di- 
 rectly to the notice of the people at the State Fair, where we have been given very 
 desirable space in connection with the Food Administration and the Red Cross, and 
 we hope the people may be shown ways and means to render practical service. I 
 believe that our headquarters during Fair Week should be transferred to this build- 
 ing, and that in every way possible the Council of Defense should try and increase 
 patriotic service, and in fact, should bend their efforts to make the keynote of 
 the State Fair PATRIOTIC NATIONAL SERVICE. To help in developing this 
 idea, Mr. Roy S. Goodrich has been made Chairman of Patriotic Day, and will have 
 general charge of the decoration of the building in which our headquarters and 
 patriotic exhibits will be installed. He has made a number of excellent suggestions; 
 among them, patriotic moving pictures, exhibits on behalf of the Army and Navy, 
 and I have written the Secretary of War and the Secretary of Navy, urging very 
 strongly their co-operation along these lines. 
 
 REORGANIZE SUB-COMMITTEES 
 
 The Sixth Suggestion follows: 
 
 "Sixth. The question of the simplification of the work of the sub-committees, 
 and the possible reorganization of some of these committees." 
 
 Now that we have at least cleared the brush off the ground in our work, 
 we can see a little more clearly as to the best lines of practical procedure. We 
 want to be sure that all of our committees are not only necessarj', but are strictly 
 working committees, and it may be desirable for simplification of our work to 
 make some consolidation and reorganizations. For example. Colonel Brown, the 
 Chairman of the Committee on Military Training, has been called from the state, 
 and it occurs to me that this committee might be combined with the Committee on 
 Public Defense and Security, of which John C. Greenway is chairman. 
 
 The committees on Transportation, and Highways and Routes of Travel, seem 
 essential, and are doing practical work. 
 
 This brings us to the Committee on Labor, of which John L. Donnelly is 
 Chairman, and the point arises that the Labor Committee as at present organized 
 is dead-locked and has been for a number of months, in fact since its meeting on 
 
 —14— 
 
May 17th. In my judgment a mistake was made when this committee was organ- 
 ized with practically an equal division between members of organized labor and 
 large employers of labor. With the present industrial unrest in Arizona, there is, 
 in my opinion, a great opportunity for a well balanced I>abor Committee to be of 
 great service. Such a committee, I believe, should contain not only some well- 
 known leaders both of organized and unorganized labor, and representatives of 
 the large employers, but a good portion of the committee should be composed of 
 men not directly involved in the labor controversies of the state, and of the highest 
 standing in their communities for justice, experience and good judgment. 
 
 In Mr. Donnelly's letter he refers to the approaching visit to Arizona of the 
 Labor Commission recently appointed by President Wilson, and I am in receipt of a 
 wire from the National Council of Defense asking that our State Council extend 
 every possible co-operation to this important delegation on its visit to Arizona. It 
 is now the time, in my judgment, to make of our Labor Committee an active, con- 
 structive committee, working to bring about industrial peace in this State on a 
 basis of justice and fair dealing by both labor and capital. 
 
 The Committee on Public Health and Sanitation will probably have increasing 
 work before it, particularly if convalescent camps are built within our State. 
 
 If the plan suggested for co-operation with the Red Cross in a systematic plan 
 for keeping in touch with our boys regarding the welfare of their families is adopt- 
 ed, the work of our Relief Committee will be very largely increased, and it will 
 probably be desirable to enlarge this Committee to take care of this increasing 
 work. It has also been urged that the name be changed to Welfare Committee. 
 
 Our Committee on Production, Conservation and Distribution of Food Sup- 
 plies has already splendidly outlined its work, and can give to Mr. Riordan, our 
 Food Administrator, especially valuable help in his work. 
 
 WORK OF OTHER COMMITTEES 
 
 The work of the Publication Committee will probably be increased during the 
 coming year, and I wish that we had the funds — as they have in many of the 
 states — to issue a weekly or monthly bulletin for distribution generally. The news- 
 papers, however, throughout the State have been very helpful in giving full pub- 
 licity to the frequent publications sent out by the Publicity Committee. 
 
 The Committee on Public Revenue and Finance is well organized, and I think 
 will be able to provide such funds as to at least cover the fundamental needs of 
 our work. 
 
 The Committee on Mines and Manufactories; the Committee on Scientific Re- 
 search, and the Committee on Federal and Interstate Relations will probably have 
 increased work during the coming year, and it might be desirable to enlarge the 
 Committee on Law so that we have a legal representative in every county for the 
 convenience of the County Councils. 
 
 For a while it seemed rather difficult to finance the work of the State Conucil, 
 but through the generous public-spirited co-operation of a number of citizens and 
 the support given the Council by several of the County Boards of Supervisors, we 
 have been supplied with sufficient money to carry out some of the most essential 
 work before us, althou.gh the amount raised is startlingly small when compared with 
 the funds running in some states into millions of dollars which have been raised 
 for the work of their state councils and which enables them to carry on an immense 
 amount of publicity work and drive home to the people the practical methods in 
 which they may co-operate to win this war. 
 
 In closing this report. I feel that it would be highly desirable and will increase 
 the efficiency of our work, if a definite monthly date might be arranged on which 
 the Executive Committee shall meet and that all members of the Committee pledge 
 themselves to endeavor to attend these monthly sessions. I know that this would 
 be of immense help to me, and the advice and counsel thus obtained from the 
 members of the Committee would be bound to increase the efficiency of our work, 
 for, after all, it is work that counts, not words; and with your vigorous support, 
 I believe in the next few months we should be able to make a record for real 
 constructive work as our share of service at this time of the nation's need. 
 
 I wish at this time to particularly extend my thanks and appreciation to our 
 office force under the very able direction of Mr. George Smalley, our Secretary, for 
 the efficient manner in which they have handled the immense amount of cor- 
 respondence passing through this office; and I also wish to thank the Executive 
 Committee for their invariable courtesy and co-operation.
