FARMING IN ARIZONA
 HAS STEPPED IN SP01L|GHT
Special Field Agent Says This Industry Is
 Growing
tFrom Saturdays Daily)

r.. X. Kaufman, special field agent for the United States department of agriculture for Arizona and New Mex leo, has just given out his annual re port in which k is shown that Arizona farms produced approximately $o,3OI, GOO during the year 1908.
 Mr. Kaufman m his report says:
 "The Crop Reporter, issued Decem her 26. 1908, by the department of agriculture, contains the annual report of the bureau relative to the acreage yield and value of farm crops that has much in it of value to the patriotic Arizona.
 "'From this report we glean the following: In 1908 Arizona produced of corn I32OO0 bushels. valued at si5i.00O; of wheat, 100000 bushels, valued at sis0,OOO; ofoats, 14ibushels, valued at sI07 ,OOO; of barley, l.lO2, ,00o bushels, valued at s937 900; and of hay, 330,0O0 tons, valued at $i,026,O00.
 "The above was grown on l6i,O00 acres and the value of the alfalfa seed and the pasture grown on the same land equal to at least s5Oo,OO0, should be added to the total valuation to de. tcrmine the average value per acre.
 "From the above figures it will be seen that the total value of these crops is. sG,5Gi,OOO, grown on l64,OOO acres. or an average value of s39.6O per acre.
 "Again it sbould be noted that fully onc.thrd of the corn is grown on land that has already produced crop of wheat or barley. thus increasing the actual acreage hy four or five thousand acres.
 While time would not permit of de termining the average value per acr, of the above crops in all the states the writer will hazard the statement that none of them can equal the show ing made by Arizona.
 "The bureau does not make an es innate of the value of orchard an' garden products, so that must be lef to the statisticians of the territory. cone year ago the writer made sue an estimate but owing to iusufiicien data he believes the acreage wa placed too high, but the average valu per acre was too low. Seven thousan acres of orchard, vineyard and garden with gross valuation of siOO pc ? acre. making n total value of s2,sOo O0O. seems nearer right.
 ' ''This gives q grand total valuatio ' of s3,30i00O, and deducting 4,Oo ' acres for duplication in the corn ero . there is total acreage of l6I0l '' acres having an average value DO b acre of s55.70.
 "The writer contends that this Is '' magnificent showing for the territor
 but when it is fact that many farr
 CTS are growing nearly twice as mu'
 grain and alfalfa per acre as the ave
 age yield noted in the report, son . conception can he gained of the il
 mcnse possibilities of Arizona soils

and that if statehood be not secured at this session of congress. that the citizens unite as a body and go to Washington to demand it.
 After drinking silent toast ,o "Our Departed Brothers" R. N. Fredcrieks spoke upon the subject of ''Our Attorneys" From the stand. point of an outsider, he had' been mi. tiaied into the profession waich he considered the most ennobling and honorable of all. In his judgment. A business man in selecting an attorney should choose one in whom he has the utmost confidence. In that respect. a lawyer and n doctor are the same. He urged that all classes of citizens should pull together for the advancement of tnis country. In a recent visit to Tue. son no wos forcibly struck with the progress that city has made, and yet although it has population of 22.0OO, its aggregate bank deposits are ti ,s00,. 000, while Prescott with only 6,O00 population boasts of bank deposits that aggregate S2,s0O,00O.
 Needed changes in the probate laws, was the subject of an able and thoughtful paper by Judge C. F. Hicks. At its conclusion, the president upon motion appointed Judge Hicks. Leroy Anderson and T. C. Job as commit tee to draft bills covering the recon. mendations made, and file them with the judiciary committee of each house, and send copies to the Yavapai county representatives.
 w. F.. Ginder, a former resident of Prescott hut now practicing law in Kingman, was the next speaker When he lived here he had often wondered where all of the lawyers of Prescott got their business, but at the last term of court at Kingman, the mystery was solved. Every attorney of Pres cott, except two, were there. In con. clusion. he expressed the opinion that the association could be of great ben. eft by urging reforms in the statutes which would have the effect of aecel. erating procedure in the smaller counties.
 At this junction. Gus Rodenburgh The bailir of the district court, asked permission to pay tribute to Richard tMcCormick, one of the early lawyers of the county. and whom he eulogized as polished gentleman and one oi the bright lignts of the profession.

may rise after few days or even a
few hours and continue a1oat for
months, constant menace to nav1-
cation. This, Of course, applies
only to wooden ships. When an iron
ship goes down it stays down.
Some years ago a coal laden
schooner collided with an unknown
vessel in thick fog at night hum
dred miles from Cape Hatteras.
The unknown continued on her way
and was swallowed up in the fog,
but the schooner, with great hole
torn in her bows, began to settle,
and her crew was launching the
boats when seen and rescued by a
passing southern liner The aban-
doned ship was then two-thlrds full
of water and bows under. In less
than ten minutes after the crew
had been taken off the schooner's
stern rose in the air, and she made
her final plunge. AS she went down
the deck blew up with a noise like
thunder. Two months later she
was sighted floating bottom up be-
low Cape Hatteras, drifting south in
the trend of the gulf stream. The
explanation of her resurrection was
simple one. Her cargo had shift
ed forward when the bow tilted
down with the thrush of the water
and the rolling of rough sea. AS
she went down the coal ran out
through the great hole there before
she reached the bottom, and, re-
lieved of its weight, she rose again,
turning turtle as she did so. A ship
with broken back is also likely to
rise as soon as her cargo floats out
or disintegrates under the action of
the salt water.
A wreck in ballast or with light
cargo drifts with bows from the
waves if there is no current worth
mentioning, but in strong, swift
current the bow will face in the OPP
posite direction to that in which the
current is moving.
A ship bottom up will float with
about an eighth of the depth of her
hull out of water and in a heavy sea
will lie lengthwise OF the waves.

His One Brother.

One of the most curious instances
of longevity is found in Miss Louisa
Courtenay's 'Notes of an Octoge-
marian" A witness in a will case
in which Bellenden-Ker, the great
English conveyancer, was engaged
was asked if he had any brothers or
sisters. He replied that he had had
one brother who died $50 years ago.
The court expressed incredulity, and
documentary evidence was produced
in support Of the statement. This
showed that the witness father, who
married first at the age of nineteen,
had a son who died in infancy. The
father married again at the age of
seventy-fve and had son who
lived to appear in the witness box
at the age of ninety-four and made
the above startling statement.

BaIzac at Work.

The most extraordinary of all lit
erary workmen was the French nov
elist Balzac. When engaged on a
novel he retired from all contact
with the world and saw no one but
his printer. He began his daily
task at 2 o'clock in the morning, his
desk brilliantly lighted with candles.
Clad in a black robe, he sat down
and worked away, drinking great
cups Of black coffee as a stimulant.
No matter how much daylight there
was on the outside, none of it was
permitted to enter his room. When
thoroughly exhausted he would re-
tire for refreshment and sleep and
the next morning at 2 o'clock would
again seat himself at his desk. Thus
for weeks and sometimes for months
he would 60 on until his work was
completed. Then he would retire
to the country or take journey
for recuperation and rest.
