Whether we remain at home or go to the front let us face the foe with courage and fortitude and though the end cannot be seen we will eventually win and auto cracy will be succumb and Demo cracy will fill the earth.

all lands will receive water in strict equality.
 To the lands of the second-class we have fixed a uniform grazing value of $500 per acre.
 RECOMMENDATIONS
 We urge and recommend that the builders of the Lyman Pro- ject be directed to file with the State Loan Board, a map of the definite location of the proposed extension to the Lyman canal to- gether with a profile of the same. Also afidavits from proper per sons which will tend to prove the physical ability of the water rights under the proposed exten- sion to receive irrigation water to the equal satisfaction of those rights of the older project or old Lyman Canal, in order that all of the water rights may simultane- ously receive water and thus fur ther the stability of the loan. We recommend, in conformity with the agreement reached be- tween the committee of Land Owners and State Officials at the conference held in Holbrook, Ari- zona, January 19, 1918, that the storage reservoir, canals and dis tributing laterals, including all extensions of the system neces- sary to provide water for all of the rights hereunder, be imme- diately constructed and utilized. We urge that this step be taken to insure the value of the collater- al offered for the State loan.
 We also recommend that the State be represented by an Engi- neer-inspector, who shall have power to pass upon and regulate all things concerned in the con- struction of the project, and to have the right to examine into the payments of money made for such construction.
 CONCLUSION
 Upon the basis as outlined in the foregoing, we believe the lands of the frst-class will bear a conservative loan of 5000 per acre and successfully pay out tand discharge the obligations.
 The lands of the second-class being included with the first class as further surplusage of value and thus furnishing additional stability to the loan.

Appraisers General Report to be Appended to Loan Appi- cation in Lyman Project. Apache County, Arizona.
 April 8, 1918.

To
 &:$ S:$ $ E S Ss55:ss 53s Loan Board Sirs:
 Pursuant to the order of you Board, we have examined into inspected and appraised each tracr of land under the Lyman Project near St. Johns, Apache County Arizona, upon which application for State Loans have been filed, and we beg to submit the follow ing report:
 LOCATION
 The land embraced in the pro. ject lie in the rolling country so common to the plateau of North ern Arizona, The mean elevation of the Lyman Project is about 5000 above sea datum. The eli mate is temperate and not sub- l jected to excess of heat or cold.
 SOIL
 The soil throughout the irriga- tion district is a regular reddish mellow loam of volcanic origin and is of sufficient depth to insure a habitat for the deep-rooted crops as alfalfa, etc. The soil contains a liberal sprinkling of fine gravel and does not harden or bake after the application of water by irrigation, but rather dries to a loose and mellow tex ture. The soil contains high measure of fertility which, with the equable climate indicates that substantial crops of alfalfa, small grains, fruits, etc. may be raised with minimum of water and cul- tivation.
 HISTORY & GENERAL
 The history of this county indi- cates that alfalfa, grains and hay have been grown with profit to the industrious farmer.
 Water of exceptionally excel lent quality for domestic purposes may be had from wells drilled to a depth of 200 feet in which the water usually rises to about 40 to 50 feet from the ground surface. The supply from wells already installed would demonstrate that the quantity is sufficient for stock purposes also. The rainfall ap- proximates IA inches annually.
 METHOD OF APPRAISAL
 In fixing a valuation upon the land in the Lyman Project as a basis upon which a State loan may safely lie, we have assumed that the proposed new Lyman Dam and Irrigation Project have been fully investigated by the State authorities, concerning the engineering standards used by the builders of the project and as to an adequate supply of irrega- tion water for equal distribution to all of the lands pledged to sup port the proposed State Loan.
 We have made two distinct classes of the lands in the Project:
 1st. Patented lands lying under the water distributing system for which water rights have been se- cured by purchase or contract.
 End. Patented lands lying un- der the Project for which no wat CT rights have been secured by purchase or contract.
 To the lands of the frst-class we have fixed a uniform value of S25.OO per acre, regardless of geographical position in the irri- gation district or of the earlier history as to water rights, assum- ing that under the new Project

District Court Adjourned

The regular fall term of the dis
trict court has been adjourned to
November 1S. Court met on Monday
and had the preliminary call of the
calendar, and also disposed of vari-
Gus motions.
On Tuesday, the court met for the
trial of jury cases, but on account
of the hardship that would be en-
tailed by calling farmers away from
their fall work to sit as jurymen,
and the further fact that attorneys
have been donating their time to fill
ing out missionaries and have had
no time to prepare their cases, it was
decided to adjourn the term to Nov.

Potatoes Must Be Graded

Potatoes must be graded before
shipping is new requirement of the
food administration. This rule has
been made for the double purpose Of
conserving foodstuffs and reducing
the demand upon the nations trans
portation facilities in the present war
time stress. When .ungraded pota-
toes are sent to central markets and
graded there, the culls are complete
waste. If done before shipping, the
culls can be used by the producers
for feed. The grades of potatoes es-
tablished are number one and num-
Der two. Number one potatoes Of the
round varieties must go over 7-8
inch screen. Number one potatoes of
the long varieties must go over a
