October Crop Report

The government crop report for October 1, covering crop conditions for the month of September and comparing the present outlook with the actual crop Of 1915 makes a pretty poor showing for the entire country but very good showing for Arizona and furnishes evidence of the rapid agricultural develop ment of the infant state. Hay is the only crop which promises to make as good yield the country over in 1916 as was realized in 1915. Only one crop in Arizona, barley will be smaller than last year. Most other crops show a decided increase. Corn and hay show a remarkable increase, corn B per cent and hay 31 per cent. The greatly improved market for farm products will further stimu- late agricultural production in Arizona. Oats is the only crop which does not show ain improve ment and that is doubtless due to to the large production of hay. For the whole country, oats follows the rule of increased price.

ELECTION WERE OvER7
While Democrats Are Admittedly the
Champion Question Fiends, II Is
Believed This Quiz Is as Un-
answerabIe as Their Most
ChiIdlike Effort.

II election day were past would
President Wilson make so little Of the
| principle Of arbitration in industrial
disputes? Would he be so sure that
it is more important to preserve peace,
when great strike is threatened, than
| it Is to make judicial methods rather
! than force the means of settling diff
ferences between capital and labor?
If election day had come and gone
would Mr.. Wilson keep the national
guardsmen of the country in camp on
the ground that they may be needed
to protect the United States against
Mexico? Would there be months of
inaction and indecision in which no
use is made of large body of citizen
soldiers? Would they not be allowed
to go home or else be set in motion to
make Mexico as safe neighbOr as the
Administration seems to think that it
is already?
If election day were past would the
President drive through Congress a
bill like the shipping bill which is in
tended to embark the federal govern
ment upon new venture in a hazard
Gus field and use S5O,OOO,0O0 OF the
peoples money to buy tonnage held
above its normal value or else so
owned that it cannot be used without
peril of international complications?
Is sound public policy behind such
measure or only campaign politics?
If election day were not to be con-
sidered would Woodrow Wilson use so |
many high and mighty words in inter-
national notes and do so little to make
them mean anything practical? Would
his deeds lag so far behind his
