Boil Weevils Appear.

John Story, prominent farmer
living at Grand Cane, and who has
several hundred acres of cotton in
cultivation, states that the boil wee

last few days to such an extent that
he believed the cotton crop in this

weevil, while others seem to think
that no great damage will be done.

Clay, RobinsoM & Company's Market
Letter

Sioux City, Iowa, Sept. %, 1907
Under moderate receipts there is a
strong tone in the killer trade as COM
pared with last week. We established q
new record in dressed beef steers IN the
sale of some ,2SO pound grade Hereford
beeves at $3.50. These cattle had been
fed by Joe Easton of Hinton, Iowa, for
the Interstate Fair. This is the highest
sale ever made on this market. We
also disposed of some 1882 Hereford
beeves at $7.S5 for Henry Williamson
of Diller, Nebr., which had also been
fed for the fair. Grass COWS and heifers
sold from 49,. Is to 4O0; Gamers and
thin cows, .25 to $500; veal calves $500
to 5000; and grass bulls, e2.75 to $3.50.
Range beef steers are quotable at $500
to 1878, with Dakota Texans at S4,25 to
$465.
Good gains have been made iD stocker
and feeder prices over those of the pre-
vious week. The general trade is 10 to
10 cents higher than last weeks low
time. Lighter marketing and strong
country demand were the bull factors in
the trade. Good to choice heavy feeders
are selling at $3.50 to Is. 90; others, %. rs
to S4.35; calves and yearliEgs. $500 TO
4.l5; and feeding COWS and stock heif-
ers at %. rs to 1925.
Sheep and lamb prices declined 10 to
10 cents, due to liberal marketing.
Lambs are quotable at 1925 to $3.50;
yearlings and wethers, e4.OO to s5.l5;
ewes, % 90 to S4.25; feeding lambs, $3.50
to $3.50; yearlings, $3.50 to 81. 90; old
wethers, s4.OO to s4.3O; and ewes, 1926
to So. 65.
With 1880 hogs on sale today, the
market ruled steady to five lower, range
785 to $3.50; the bulk at 81. 95 to $500.

DISCREDIT FACTS
 ABOUT OUR ORANGES
CALIFORNIA IS sKEPTICAL.
Prices" Says pr. J. w. Foss.

Only a short while ago an orange grove of thirty acres sold in Redlands, Cal, for S6O,000 That is Sl.000 an acre more than has ever been paid for orange land in the Salt River valley. Yet. according to the statement of Dr. John w. Foss. who has just returned from the coast, there is positively and absolutely, no spot in all California where oranges can be raised under con- ditions nearly as favorable as they can in this valley. and the doctor stands ready to prove this statement at any time.
 "I was really never an orange en- thusiast, that is to say. never dremed of the immense possibilities of raising citrus fruit here and of the tremendous advantage we have over the coast growers, until I read an article on orange culture by George W. Cowgirl in the August number of Earth. % That article to me is the epitome of all that has been written on the subject; it is the masterpiece of it's kind. I cannot conceive how anyone can read that article with the cold verified facts staring at him from the printed page. and then go to Redlands or Riverside and buy an orange grove.
 The statements made by Mir Cow gill in that article. backed up with fig ures and arguments that are irrefuta-
Arizona republican., 1909-08-23

ble. are of so surprising a nature that 1 do not wonder that eastern people. as well as the more envious growers of California, are incredulous concerning the citrus industry here. You cant make a Californian believe that we don't polish the fruit before it goes to the market Just imagine the packers or the pickers in this valley wasting their time putting Sapolio finish on an orange!"
 As an example of the incredulity with which the literature sent out by the board of trade and printed in local papers is received in California, Dr. Foss told this story.
 There was a story printed in The Republican during the orange season which gave the prices per box for fruit shipped from the Salt River valley. It also gave the early dates of the re- ceipt of shipments and other infoTma- ton which would tend to make a coast grower green with envy.
 People fin Redlands saw the story and wrote to Secretary Cowgirl about it. Finally it got to Pasadena from Redlands. When MT. Cowgirl hap 7 of the board of trade there asked him about it. In his preliminary remarks he referred to the, advertisers of the Salt River valley as hot air artists" MT. Cowgirl examined the figures and then said, "So you do not believe this 2"
 Frankly. I do not" was the reply.
 Have you any property?" he was asked
 "I have a house worth about, S2, 500"
 'Very we'll" replied MT. Cowgirl. T will put up s5.0OO against your house If there is a single wrong figure in that statement. you take my 5000. If the statement is absolutely accurate. I will take your house."
 The Pasadena man scratched his head. Well, l guess I will write to the New York house that handles your fruit" he said.
 Two weeks later Mir. Cowgirl called on him again. He had received reply from the New York firm. Was the statement true?" asked the Phoenix man.
 "Yes, it was"
 "I presume you will publish it in the local papers them"
 Not on your life" was the reply.
 The moral of this tale is: If you want to make a California grower real mad tell him that RIPE Salt River oranges reach New York for Thanks giving. and because of their superior quality. bring from one to three dol lars box more than the California product.
 Orange land and orange groves '' continued Dr. Foss, 'are being sold here now at positively gift prices. There is not spot in the whole coun- try where oranges can be raised so successfully as in this valley and there is not a place in the country where orange land is so cheap It is because people do not know or do not believe"

Phoenix: Like 1t? Why l like every place that I hang my hat up in, and Phoenix more than most places Car roll Johnson is a real knight of the road, with nothing about him. when met in a hotel lobby. to designate that he is a theatrical man. There is none of the sham. the great 'I am" or any of the other earmarks that go with the semi professional vaudeville per sonage. Carroll Johnson is thorough bred. happy, big-hearted. good fellow. well met with everyone, whether news boy. or politician. He realizes that he occupies an envious place. in vaude vile, as well as in minstrelry, and that the whole world knows him. He does not have to make the fact known.
