is the issue of paramount importance
in Missouri, and should be given
every impetus.
''Thc state highway engineer should
have some control of the expenditure
OF state money on roads, and where a
county has taken the initial step of
asking state aid in hnilding roads the
engineer employed by the state should
inspec, plans and see that the work is
done in an economical and efficien,
manner. This could best be done
with the creation OF county highway

Very few sheep have been sheared so far and most of it will be done as soon as it warns up in the north ern foothills.

 Prices asked for good stock sheep, ewes and yearlings as low as S2 per head for one bunch at Ventura, California.
 Prices asked for first clas year old steers $50 per head in Ventura district. Offered Sag per head.
 First class native California stock cattle offered under SPA for cows ordinarily held at $35.
 Dairy stock ordinarily worth $50 to 60 per head is being offered at S25 to S35 for prime milk cows fully tested. Mixed stuff this week offered as low as SIS per head in dairy grades.
 Buyers report that along creek bottoms in certain districts the stench of dead cattle is unpleas- ant, and one man asserted out of a bunch of sheep less than half could jump a IA inch plank.
 In all directions stock owners are securing the country for range to ship out, but some have waited too long. There is still range but the owners have not been willing to pay fair price and neither would they sell at prices northern buyers were willing to pay for cattle in the condition these are.
 The worst cattle year in forty years is now the verdict. Less than three inches of rain this year has fallen on the parched land.
 Several beet factories badly crippled and possibly will not have enough beets to warrent opening up. One factory said to have accepted conditions and will not run this year.
 Any Arizona men wishing cattle on shares or on pasturage basis who have plenty of range to carry through a dry year would do well to get in touch with the California growers who are wishing to ship out, but prompt action is advised.
 Northern buyers rebuffed at the first fair prices made by them are holding off, and are not offering more than SI6 for yearlings S24 for twos steers and S32 for 3s up and insist upon strong cattle at those prices, and even those of- fers are qualified.
 It is said by Imperial parties that dozens of feed buyers are in that district and feed is practically all contracted.
 The northern buyers can handle every hoof offered in California if the growers do not wait until their cattle are too weak too ship, but the trip is long hard one and the northern market demands stuff to be in shipping condition.
 Along certain coasts points feed is very fair and will hold another month and would fatten with more rain, but on o h e

INVESTIGATING THE
 GRAz|NG RATES
Meeting of District Forester Ringland and Stockmcn Held at Phoenix
 Last Week

For the purpose of Investigating actual conditions that confront Arizona sheepmen and cattlemen, and of hearing their protests against the recent increase in grazing fees, District Forester A. C. Ringland arrived in Phoenix last Friday from Albuquerque, where he has his headquarters. Early in the day he was taken in an automobile out to the Cave Greek district. He was accom- panied by Hugh Campbell, presi- dent of the Arizona Wool Growers Association; E. A. Sawyer of Winslow and Chas. s. Hinderer, supervisor of the Prescott na- tional forest.
 A short time ago the forest ser. vice announced a complete re- vision of it's schedule of grazing fees, both for cattle and sheep. The revision was upward, the average increase being about twenty per cent. Arizona stock men immediately began to pro- test. This is the hardest season that they have experienced in years and they are in no condi ton to pay the increased fees at this time.
 "Sheepmenhave suffered heavier losses this season than for many years" said MT. Campbell. We will endeavor to show MT. Ring land that we are unable to pay higher grazing fees than at pres- ent. In fact, the fees under the old rating have been a great bur den to us in poor seasons.
 MT. Ringland did not fix the fees himself; that was done in Washington. But he can make recommendations and we hope to induce him to recommend that the old fees remain in effect in Arizona, that stockgrowers not be forced to pay more than they can bear. His recommendation will carry great weight in Washington. ,"
