LESLIE CANYON ROAD WILL
 ACCOMPANY MANY CITIZENS

DOUGLAS, Nov 30--A few days ago J. M Hunsaker with J M. Sparks of the Board of Supervisors and Coun- ty Engineer Ryan made a trip over what is known as the Leslie Canyon road leading north from Douglas. It has been proposed that this road he improved so that il could be travelled without inconvenience by the many settlers in the canyon and about its mouth and by those living in Fucker canyon but as well by the many citi- zens of Douglas, who go so often to Leslie and Fucker canyon almost every Sunday, especially during the summer months.
 This road is regarded as one of the most important that is tributary to Douglas. taking into consideration the number of people who would travel il were il put in good condition.
 IL is believed that supervisors will soon take steps to have this road Improved. substantially. II is thought that il would be best tO start the road north from the end of \ avenue cross. ing the railroad at the Rodeo crossing.

DROUGHT CATTLE TO BE
 BROUGHT TO ThiS STATE

Starving in the drought stricken re zion of Southwestern Texas, one mil lion cattle are to be moved from those grassless acres by the Food Admins traitor in order that the cattle may be saved The railroads have been appealed to in the grave emergency to rush all cars possible 10 secure to those districts.
 The first appeal to the railroads was made some time ago. and a sec ond one was sent in cn November i5. In answer 10 the appeal. the Santa Fe railroad already has sent 4,10o cars 10 that region. some of them coming from the eastern railroads. but mostly from the western roads. Even this great number Of stock cars has not materially relieved the grave situa ton. so il is reported,
 Many cattle have been brought into Arizona from the dry acres Of Texas but many thousand head are still in the drought stricken state. The Food administration has wired Robert Gib- sou. secretary cf the Texas Cotton Seed Crushers' association. that il is | the duty of the mills and Of the deal CTS not to send any cotton seed out 1 side of the state as il is all needed ' fer feed for cattle in that region.
 The seriousness of the situation has been exaggerated in some sections. as there is no general drought in Texas. ! The dry area extends from Fort [ Worth west on both sides of the Texas Pacific railroad to Fl Paso and into southeastern New Mexico. i The northern line turns north Of [ San Antonio to the east about 100 miles and then south nearly 10 the coast country
 Arizona has been much more for tunate in regard 10 the conditions of the range than New Mexico Cattle and sheep from New Mexico have been steadily coming into this state for ,he past two months The part oC Texas south of Sweetwater and west Of san Antonio to the coast and into southeastern New Mexico is the real drought country This area measures more than the entire area of Arizona.
 The rainfall in that district has
 been insufficient for ,he past twO
 years. and herds have been cu,
 down accordingly. yet in that area
 according tc the Food Adm!nistra
 ton there are one million cattle that
 will have to be moved or they will
 not survive.

PATRIOTIC APPEAL
TO FARM E R s

The Arizona Council of Defense and the United States Food Admin lstra;ion join in the. following reso- lution which is given publicity throughout tbe State to encourage increased production of wheat as a patriotic service
 WHEREAS. is appears from the survey recently completed by the Arizona Council of Defense of all foods and feeds grown in Arizona that the quantity of wheat is far be low the consumption of this product in this state; and
 WHEREAS. we feel this is in a sense reflection upon the patrio tie citizenship of Arizona which has never failed in responding to any all made by our government. and
 WHEREAS. in order that Arizona nay be relieved from place in the lass which consumes in excess oi nroduction a commodity which our ,oyernmen; is depending upon as a 'ital element in winning the wal with Germany: and
 WHEREAS the government fully , realizing the dire need of our allies Or mere wheat. and to stimulate pro duction in America. has guaranteed all producers minimum price o! two dollars q bushel for 1918 whea' at primary terminal markets. which we are advised by representaiiy, 1f a bureau Of markets should h. | eqDvai-nt tc price of approximate y three dollars and fifty cents per hundred pounds on wheat of th' quality of Early Baart. f. O D Phce nix or Trcson. Arizona
 NOW. THEREFORE. we believe il { tha patriotic duty of the farmers O i Arizona to release 10 the governmen for use to our allies and our soldieri in Europe additional wheat 10 the ev { tent cf one-halc million bushei This means all increased acrea@. i within the state Of fifteen thOusan, acres. or an increase of fifty pc cent in the present acreage in thiI vital crop. Fortunately, We fn' l that there is within the state al ample quantity of frst-c!ass seed t' cover the need of this production.
 All farmers are urged as indivit ual service to their country in it time of need 10 plant wheat eyel though il be but q small plat. Il many sections Of this state thi planting must be dcne within th next thirty days. We realize tha in asking the farmers Of Arizona [ perform this patriotic duty, the may sometimes forego greate profit which could be made in othe crops. but we are convinced tha they will respond to this appeal in spirit of patriotic duty and sho' Arizona squarely behind the goyerI mcnt, and our boys at the front.
