THE CROP CONDITIONS
THE WEEKLY SUMMARY OF
THE CROP CONDITIONS
THROUGHOUT THE STA TIE AS
ISSUED BY THE n. d. SECTION,
WEATHER AND CROP SER
VICE.

The past week has been like the
week before, a wet one. Heavy rains
fell in almost everv part of the state,
and coming so soon after The heavy
rain Of the previous week, which
had completely saturated the ground,
have flooded most Of the low land,
especially in the valley of the Red
river, where large tracts of land,
mostly sown to wheat, are now COW
cred with water. In the western
part of the state the rains were OF
great benefit to crops of all kinds.
Early sown wheat is looking very
well, where not damaged by excessive
rains: most of 1T is stooling very well
and making strong root; late sown
wheat has terminated rapidly, ow-
ing to the moisture in the ground,
and is coming up quite evenly. Ear
ly grain stands from four to eight
inches high, and in most sections
completely covers the ground. Some
late fax. barley and millet are vet
to SOW, but as rule, seeding is
completed. although some small
pieces of land that are nov too wet
to get on. will bee planted to fodder
crops later. Corn planting is practi-
cally finished: that planted early is
up, but it is very backward and maxi
ing but little growth on account Of
the heavy rains and cloudy cool
weather: that planted lately is COM
ing up rapidly.
Potatoes have about all been plant
ed and are coimng up we'll and
proimse good crop.
Grass was never in better condi-
tion in all parts Of the state. ard the
crop both wild and tame, bids fair
to be an early and a oundant one. In
the western section the ranges are in
excellent condition, while the hay
bottoms and meadows are covered
with thick coat Of excellent quality.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS-
The Time and Place of the Next An.
 nual Meeting.

The executive council of the national irrigation association has fixed the date for the twelfth national irrigation congress of Fl Paso on Tuesday, Nov. 15-1S. No doubt this territory will take a great deal of interest in the coming meeting of the congress for Fl Paso IS the nearest point at which the congress has met since 1895 when it assembled ill Phoenix.
 Since then there has been an increase to be a working body as we'll and it's congress which nine years ago seemed to be engaged only in a campaign of education and the promulgation of beautiful theories which did not give much promise of being put into prac- tice. But the congress proved itself to be workin body as we'll and it's chief theory is now being put into practice and Arizona is getting more good out of it than any other one division of the country, and the Salt river valley more good than any other one sub division.
 The coming meeting of the congress on account of the location is in charge of the South Western Irrigation asso- ciation- with headquarters at Fl Paso. Announcement is made by Secretary X. w. Clifford of the southwestern ,associ- ation that this meeting will be of great

and the first inning was a goose egG for each side. The visitors in fact made no score till the fourth.
 In the second inning the farmers found the ball easily. Hemus seemed to throw it pretty straight and pretty fast but it either lacked curve or the eyes of the home team were unusually bright for seven of them got a run each to their credit.
 The visitors seemed to be, discour- aged and while the grand stand was pleased with the work of the home team, it felt like the rest of the game was going to be one sided. When the visitors scored nothing in the third and Phoenix got three more, making ten,' it looked mere than ever like a shame to take the money.
 But when Prescott came to bat in the fourth inning, a change seemed to have come oevr both teams. The home boys went to pieces all at once and were unable to block the finesse of the highlanders till they had piled up five runs. After taht Phoenix realized that she must not go to sleep. This feeling was enhanced when she came to bat and made three outs with no man get ting further than first base.
 In the first half of the fifth Prescott got two more runs, two men striking out the third man out being killed at second. And that was the end of the tallymaking for the hill people. In the last half, Parish for Phoenix made one run, being sent home by a two bagger by Avery and leaving the game at that stage, II to 2.
 In the sixth the first two Prescott men to bat were killed at first and sec ond respectively, the sixth batter mak- ing the third out at first, leaving three men on bases. It was a lucky inning for Phoenix although one or two bad errors were made by the home team that might have been expensive. In the last half Phoenix got in one more run. making an even dozen and the end of her tally sheet.
 In the seventh Prescott lost two men on flies, the sixth batter striking out, again leaving three men on bases. Wemp having previously given one man h's base by hitting him with the ball, as he did once in an earlier inning, The last half of the seventh sent three men out on flies.
 In the eighth Prescott lost one man on fly, one at first and one at third. Sullivan, for Phoenix, knocked the ball over the fence. but was later killed at third base Hartwell and Parish making the other outs.
 The first half of the ninth was played by Prescott in a formal sort of way, for it was evident that no amount of good luck could overcome the odds against them. Two men went out on flies and the third struck out.
