CROP REPORT FOR ARIZONA

PHOENIX. Ariz., July ), 1913
One million bushels of wheat for ART
zona is in prospect the Bureau Of
Crop Estimates states in its monthly
crop report issued at Phoenix today.
Wheat conditions improved during
June in the higher attitudes and aver
age yields in some of the central coun-
ties were better than expected. Other
crops are generally in very good con
dition, the recent rains having greatly
improved the outlook for summer food
crops. Cotton, with condition of SO,
indicates a record crop. With favor
able weather conditions crop Of 35.-
600 bales of the Egyptian variety Of
cotton is indicated. Except In a few
districts that were short of water for
irrigation, a fine crop of alfalfa hay
has been secured. Barley yields were
excellent in some counties, but short
age Of water and damage from aphis
in few districts Slightly reduced the
State average. Oats are in excellent
condition in the northern counties, and
with favorable conditions, should pro-
duce about $4,000 bushels more than
last year. The planting of corn, grain
sorghums, and beans continues in the
southern counties under favorable con
ditions, but the acreage OF these crops
will not greatly exceed that of last
year. With the exception of peaches
and apricots, fruit crops are generally
above their average condition. Canta-
loupes and watermelons are now being
marketed at good prices, but the re
cent showers. together with the light
set in some fields, has slightly reduced
the prospects for those crops Range
pastures have been greatly benefited
by good rains since July 1 and the
present outlook for summer range is
very satisfactory

NATION FORESTS OF THE
SOUTHWEST IDEAL PLAY
GROUNDS OF THE PEOPLE

When with the advent of hos
weather the thoughts of the city
dweller and the resident of the lower
lying hotter valley regions turn to
summer outings and vacations, it is
well to remember, particularly during
the present times, the two items of
economy and transportation Every
thought and action today should be
goevrned and controlled by the one
aim in view-winning the war. Any
thing that tends to hinder this end
must be regarded with suspicion, par
ticularly when unnecessary expense is
involved and neither saving of
energy nor material is attained, as is
usually the case in matters relating
TO pleasure and recreation. So, when
we let our eyes turn to the cool sea
shore or forest regions, and trout
streams in the mountains this year,
let us remember that while economy
and moderation at all times are vir-
tues, at the. present time they are
duties.
The national forests are the free,
public Fairgrounds of the people, and
the Forest Service desires to have the
people make the fullest use of this
privilege. All forest officers have the
welfare of their summer visitors at
heart, and are at all times glad to
furnish freely all possible information
about desirable camping and fishing
places available and accessible. The
few restrictions placed upon the peo-
pie using the national forests for
camping and other recreational use
are in reality no restrictions what
ever, but vital factors in the principle
of making the forests ideal and endur-
ing camping places for everyone. All
will agree that the observance of state
and federal sanitary laws, health reg
ulations, and restrictions regarding
the use of fire and the cutting Of green
timber are constructive and enhance
the camping and recreational values
of the national forest camp sites and
tend to make this playground use
more and more desirable, healthful
and practically ideal In some places
the public camping grounds have been
provided with fire places, tables and
benches for the use of campers by the
forest reserve.

The Presidents
Wheat Veto

Congress believed a slight increase
in the price of wheat for 1919, in or
der to increase production and TO
compensate growers for the greatly
increased expense of growing the
crop, was advisable and justifiable 1t
is disappointing that the President did
not, and that he put his veto on the
bill which would have allowed the
farmers of Kansas $24O a bushel for
their wheat in 1919, 20 cents more on
the bushel than they are now getting.
The President held if this increase
ures? II takes 4 4-1O bushels of wheat
to make barrel of -four To allow
the 20 cents increase to the wheat
raiser would make the wheat cost the
miller SS cents more on the barrel of
flour, and cost the baker less than 1-S
of cent a loaf.
However, no one wishes to find fault
with the President, his figures or his
reasoning, but the reasons given for
his veto prompt the question that if
the consumer cannot stand any ad-
vance in the price of wheat, even to
increase the supply, how much longer
can he stand the pressure of unre-
stricted prices for cotton and cotton
fabrics which still are soaring upward,
and have been, ever since our war
with Germany began Wheat is the
staff of life, it is true, but cotton
clothes its nakedness and keeps it
warm, and it is now costing wheat
raisers and all others, about six times
its normal value.
Nor does the President think crop
failures should be taken into account
in fixing a price for wheat
1t may be pointed out that this has
not been the policy of his adminfstra-
tion with regard to other essential in
dustries The railroads not only were
guaranteed against losses but were
given more than peace profits. In
business, losses are always reckoned
a legitimate addition to the price of
the product. But it can be overdone.
For instance, last year in the steel
industry prices were based on costs
at the little mills where costs are
highest. The result is that the big
steel producers have made and are
making enormous profits. The big
Touring mills last year were allowed
a certain profit above all expenses.
They padded their expenses and made
more money than they ever made be-
fore.

would be liYing profit these times to

rates and the discoura cement which
attended failure of the Industries
Board to recommend higher metal
price in June, lowered the output of
practically all of the smelters to some
extent.
The big mines held to their swing
of the previous month and under the
pressure of the need of the govern
ment for every pound of copper that
can be made they and their men made
up for a considerable part of the loss
from the small shippers, despite the
exceptional heat wave prevalent un-
brokenly during three weeks of the
month and which had attendance of

A letter received this week from a
Norton county wheat-grower SAYS:
I'VE have had two complete failures
in wheat here. In this part of the
county farmers won't even get their
seed back, and corn in most cases
will not make fodder. We have been
buying all our feed and forage, so you

enough added to the price so that the
wheat grower will not have the new
freight rates saddled onto him.
Unlike big business, the Kansas
wheat-raiser has not demanded more
