By contrast we balance and weigh things at sight, May measure true merit and friend. ship quite right, May change much of sadness to peace and content, By using the talent that's thus to us lent. The contrasting shadow that hangs OCT tbe way, Will lessen the glare of the most whitening ray, And deep from the recesses of mis- eFy's we'll, The pure limpid waters of pleasure may swell.

Weekly Crop Bulletin Number 1 for 1897, issued by the Weather Bu- reau, April 6, says:
 During the first half of March the agricultural and horticultural interests in the valleys gave promise of early and unprecedented yields. This condition was noticeablv in evidence in Salt River Valley. where almonds had attained one-fourth to one-third full size, apricots and peaches were in bloom and straw berries and early vegetable were al. most ready for market. The last half of the month, however, proved disastrous to some of those products and shortened the crops of others. High winds on the 20th and 2lst, followed on the 22d and 23d, and again on the 3lst, by freezing tenn peratures, practically destroyed the almoud crop, the early strawberries and vegetables and the early varie- ties of apricots and peaches. Wheat and barley were seriously injured and the growth of alfalfa and all vegetation was greatly retarded. Oranges and lemons were not ma terially injured"
