Farm Advisor Fillerup of Navajo Apache counties reports cool, dry windy, backward spring, which has generally checked crop growth anC ha shad a rather discouraging effect on the farmers. However, he states that fields which were we'll plowed and properly prepared last fall will yield good returns, while those less thoroughly prepared or prepared out of season will yield but little. This is in accordance with the experience of Farm Advisor Paschall in Cochise and Santa Cruz counties during the past two seasons, and indicates that without the employment of the prop CT methods those who are practising dry farmingare almost certain to fail.

MINISTER SEEKS
 GOVERNOESHIP

St. Louis, Mo, July 10,-When the Democratic voters of Missouri go to the polls three weeks from tomorrow to express their preferences for can didates fer state offices they will have an opportunity to vote for a minister of the Gospel for the head of the state ticket. The clergyman who desires to fill the gubeTnatorial chair is the Rev. Arthur N. Lindsey, pastor of 8 church in Clinton.
 Not only IS clergyman Tn pollTlcs, as candidate for an important state office, unusual and interesting, but Mr Lindsey is making campaign So different from what one ordinarily y would expect of q minister that he has upset many of the traditions of his profession.
 Competition in the gubernatorial contest is exceedingly keen, Two mll- lionaire manufacturers, two lawyers and two publishers are in the race against the pastor candidate.
 It has been so often thought unwrit- ten law that preachers should not par ticipate in nor allow themselves to be- come "contaminated' by politics that the politicians, especially. were some what amazed when Mr. Lindsey an nounced himself a candidate for the gogernofship.
 Another surprise has been furnish cd by the campaign methods pursued by the pastor-candidate. He has set the state to laughing by his humorous stories. He has appealed to the in teiligence of the state by the keen ness of his wit and his literary and oratorical skill.
