 WILL BREAK ALL RECORDS Cool Nights Which Have Distinguished This Spring Have Made Conditions Right For Fields of Wheat and Barley
WILL BREAK ALL RECORDS

Max Niault of the Mesa Milling com pany. who is in constant touch with the local conditions. gives out the un- qualified statement that without d doubt the present grain crop. unless the unforeseen should happen. will be a record breaker in this section. It is of course a well known fact that owing to the completion of the Eastern canal there is d great increase in acreage. but this is not taken as the basis of observations. for that iS a statement made from an actual investigation as to the probable yield per acre.
 Robert Macdonald. who has been resident of Mesa for the past seven teen years. is respon 'ible for the state ment that the average yield of barley this season will exceed anys since his arrival at this place. He attributes this unprecedented condition to the fact that he, after careful investiga- ton. has not been able to discover one head of barley that showed any signs of smut whatever. Mr. Macdonald for a good many years was threshing machine man and while he has become d little too much advanced in years to take an active part in the running of q thresher. yet he maintains an inter est in the general grain conditions He attributes the present condition of the barley as well as the wheat crops to the cool nights which continued throughout the early spring. IL is a well known fact that the cool weather is especially conducive to the matur- ing Of both wheat and barley. especial ly when the grain is just commencing to head out.
 However. the man who IS a grower Of grain will probably not receive as much for his products this season as during recent preceding years from the fact that throughout the competing fields which include a good portion Of California. there is also big crop reported. With the good crops in Cal ifornia as well as lt this place the tendency is always to lower the price at this point. The Mesa Milling com pany, which is also in constant touch with foreign as well as local cond- tions. is responsible for the statement that the price of grain this season will be perceptibly lower for the reasons enumerated above

CENSUS TAKING
 AMONG INDIANS
Much Matrimonial Changing About
 Disclosed.

r. E. Hughes. who is in change of the farming operations of the Indian reservation at Giia Crossing, arrived in Mesa yesterday and states that the crops on the reservation are coming on in good shape. However, one of the important things right at the present time is the difficulties of the census taker .wbo is running up against propo- sitiOnS-Which are baffling him at every turn-uf the road The work of talk ing the census has been turned over to tiIe missionary R. V. Richards, and one of the questions which has caused the most concern is that asked to de- termine the number Of times that some Of the Indians have been locked in the bonds of holy matrimony. The missionary was greatly surprised in asking a young man of the reservation as to the number of times that he had experienced the true love which had culminated in marriage to hear the re- ply that he had been the husband of no less than six wives. He was dum- founded; that is he was until the next -day. when he put the same question to one of the old men of the tribe and learned that no less than nineteen times had he divided his heart and given as much of il as he had left in matrimony. No wonder that the enumerator approached the question with fear and trembling, and he went over it with faint voice coming out on the other questions in more audi ble tones. He was to receive more surprises in the agriculture line. One
 
 and in reply to another question an swered that on those thirty acres he had sown about lS5 pounds, or little over two bushels on the thirty acres This of course is a matter which might be used to advantage by the men who are interested in locating neW corners in the valley, for there is probably no other place, on earth, nor any other climate. where q crop may be reaped from such q scant sowing of seed.
