SERIOUS SITUATION
 CONFRONTS WORK OF
 RELIEF ASSOCIATION

No immediate let-up is to be seen in the situation which confronts the Warren District Relief association in its work of relieving any distress that has resulted from the strike and the deportations from Bisbee on July 12. The association, with an able corps of workers, has been steadily on the job since July 13 and there is much yet to do.
 According to the secretary, Miss Esther Cummings, about 150 Mexican families are now taking relief from the association and about 70 families of other nationalities are in the samo position. This represents. to the as sociation, daily outlay of something over s100 day.
 It has been deemed expedient by the association to furnish necessary trans portation to families where bona fidc representations are made. In this way women and children, with their effects, have been sent to many and distant parts of the country. Yesterday a wo- man sought a ticket for herself and children to Rainier, Washington. This is merely a sample of the requests in this line made to the organization Tickets have been issued to people for Washington. D. C.. New York, points in New Jersey, Michigan, Montana, tc say nothing of nearby towns in neigh boring states.
 A gradual decrease has been noteC in the number of families of other na- tiOnalities than Mexican, receiving re lief. This can be traced to the fact that numbers of the people do not de- sire aid and seek to get away from having to accept help as soon as pos sible. The furnishing of transporta- tion has also helped in this direction In a number of cases the husbands of women who are now in Columbus have declared they will not leave the New Mexico town and will continue to live by the governments grace and refu gee rations. The women are helpless and must depend upon the association or upon friends or relatives. The as sociation is carefully investigating ev- cry case of this character.
 Accurate records are kept of the aid given each and every recipient. A card is given to each person. As eacl order is filled the date and amount is recorded. In this manner the work has been simplified and expedited to q very great extent
 In the cases of the Mexican families the association is finding it's greatest cause for worry. In many instances the women of the Mexican families de- sire but a living. Whether it comes from the Warren District Relief asso- citation or from the provider makes lit tie difference. The transportation Of such people to any other locality is hardly feasoble as most of them live in Mexico and have few relatives ever there. Also, a large proportion of the MeXicans who were deported are no. overly anxious to leave Columbus.
 The Mexicans constitute our great est question" said Miss Cummings yesterday in summarizing the work of the association, of which she is gen eral secretary. T do not know how the problem will be eventually work ed out. The number of Americans helped has decreased but little since July 12
 The association has been imposed on to some little extent. But on the whole our work has been remarkably free from this character of grating.

THINKS MACKAY WILL
LEAD in MINING

F. S. Luff, of Salt Lake City, re-
Gently made a visit to Mackay where
he has some mining interests, and
came back thoroly convinced that
Mackay is to be one of the biggest
mining centers of the country when
its resources are opened up.
''The properties are remarkable in
their surface showing" said Mr.. Luff
Saturday. "Sulphides, tale and
quartz formations are in abundance
right on the surface. Quartz bearing
peacock copper and gold in rich per-
centages is being taken up without
much digging"
Mr.. Luff brought word that F. A.
Stacey, of the Empire mine has 80
cars loaded with ore ready for ship
ment, which represents the accumu-
lation of the winter. Mr.. Stacey is
developing the old Weimer property,
also, and is reported to have opened
up a deposit of 4 " to per cent
copper ore there, running from 400
to 600 feet wide. This ore is being

SCOTT TELLS FRENCH
WE ARE WITH THEM

In reply to a communication from
General Nivelle, commander in chief
OF the French army, in which the
Frenchman gracefully recalled the
military fraternity between the two
republics sealed more than'a century
ago by Lafayette and Rochambeau,
Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of
the American general staff, sent the
following cablegram:
General Nivelle, Commander in
Chief of French Army; Paris.
France:
1T was with profound satisfac-
ton that your cable message of April
was read announcing the enthusiast
tic reception by the French army of
news Of the acts of the president and
congress of the United States, declar-
ing the existence of a state of war
with Germany. The memory of La
fayette and Rochambeau forms one
of the most cherished traditions of
the American people, and the army
OF the United States is eager to take
its place side by side with the armies
of France and her allies now fighting
so nobly for democracy and the lib
erty of the world. ...-
Ine American army sends you its
thanks and fully reciprocates the
feeling of fraternity expressed by the
French army in so gracious a man.

CROP MOVEMENT BRINGS
GRATIFYING RESULTS

| Ogden-Exhortati that farmers
cultivate every available acre of land
and reclaim what have been idle
lands have had striking effect, &C
cording to field agents of the Anal
gamated Sugar company John F.
Barton today declared that nearly
every farmer will grow more beets
this year than last and that there
will be little if any curtailment Of the
crops.
Land that formerly has been used
as pasture and which returned but
small profits to the owner is being
prepared for beets this year." he said
"Fields formerly devoted to alfalfa,
but which have been producing
scarcely any good hay by reason Of
the weevil and June grass, are being
converted into beet fields.
MANY acres of what has been
waste land by reason of seepage. or
overirrigation are being drained, and
land which was formerly considered
too difficult to be worked is being put
in shape. Once this land is cultivat-
ed 1t will produce satisfactory crops
of beets."
Farmers are calling daily at the
Amalgamated Sugar company's Of
fees for beet seed, but only few
farmers have planted seed as yet.
Had today's storm been deferred,
there would have been many fields
planted today.
The Amalgamated company has.
three additional factories for this
season-the new plants at Paul, Ida
no, and Smithfield, and the factory
at Brigham City, purchased from the
Utah-Idaho Sugar company

WHEAT CROP LOW AND
LARGE ACREAGE IS LOST

| IN IOf6CaSLlnS the LOLdl pTOQuC-
ton of American farm crops the de.
partment of agriculture announced
recently that the average condition OF
the crop on April l was the lowest
ever recorded on that date, The rye
crop alone promises an increase. A
Washington despatch says:
From present indications, the COM
bined winter wheat and rye harvest
will be 400, 100000 bushels, COM
pared with 529,127,000 bushels for
those two crops last year. Winter
wheat was sown last autumn on 49,
$4,000 acres, which is close to the
largest acreage on record. The crop
had a bad start in the important
growing states, and entered winter
in poor condition. insufficient snow
covering during the winter and dry
and windy weather killed much of
the crop.
Much of the abandoned acreage
will be planted to corn in the south
ern part of the belt, and to spring
wheat in the northern portion. Pre-
vailing high prices for wheat are ex-
pected to spur farmers to place a
larger acreage under spring wheat,
and officials look for a record crop
of that cereal.
The food problem of the coming
year being one of the paramount
questions affecting the United States
in the war, extraordinary interest
centered in the governments report
today showing the condition and pro-
duction forecast of the winter wheat
crop planted last autumn. The ex-
tent of the winter wheat crop, usual
ly about two-thirds of the entire pro-
duction of wheat in this country, is
vital question, inasmuch as the al
lies will depend to a large degree
upon American supplies, and Argen-
tina has placed an embargo on wheat
and -four exports.
Reports from different sources
reaching the department of agricul-
ture have indicated that there was
some winter killing of wheat wheat
in many section of Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas,
and of hard red winter wheat in the
western and southwestern plains,
particularly in Kansas and Oklaho-
ma. Whether the extent of the dam
age is more than the average was I'M
certain.
Cereal specialists of the depart
ment of agriculture are recommend
ing to farmers that if the crop is not
more than half killed they let 1t
grow.
In Kansas and Nebraska, the two
leading winter wheat growing states,
the crop suffered enormous damage.
Nebraska reported a condition of 3 5
per cent or normal. That was a de-
cline of. SO points from the condition
reported December 1" last. In Kan
sas the condition on, April 1 was As
per cent or normal, a decline of 38
points since December 1. Undoubt-
eddy much of the acreage in those
states which now must be abandoned
will be planted to corn.
Other important winter wheat pro-
ducing states also report heavy de-
clines in condition because of the
severe winter and drought condi-
tons. In Ohio the decline was
points; Indiana, 1S points; Illinois,
81 points; Missouri, % points; and
10 points.
