CAMP VERDE BASIN TO
 BE ADDED TO NAT FOREST

Congressman Carl Hayden has ad- vised Chairman William Stephens of the board of supervisors of Yavapai county, that Captain George D. Christy, as attorney for the Paradise Verde Irrigation district, has submit ted to the United States forest serv- ice the following proposal. "That the boundaries of the Prescott and Cocon- ino forest be extended to include all unoccupied public lands in the so- called Verde strip lying between the Prescott and Coconino national forests and not constituting veritable 'no- mans land,' to the end that no further entries be made of the public lands in the Camp Verde basin, and that the basin itself be protected from silt and debris"
 It is the intention of the Paradise Verde Irrigation district to construct reservoir on the Verde river, be- low Camp Verde, for the storage of water to be used in irrigating tract of land in Paradise valley, northeast of Phoenix. The director of the U. s. reclamation service has recom- mended that the above described lands be included within national forest in order that grazing thereon may be better regulated, with a view to pre- venting erosion and the consequent sitting of the reservoir.

LOWER PRICES FOR FLOUR
 SUBSTITUTES DEMANDED

There are strong indications that the price of corn meal and other sub- stitutes for wheat flour will be reduc- ed within the next few weeks. The food administration at Washington has sent out a warning to all millers of substitute grains and to wholesale and retail dealers in these products calling their attention to the fact that at the present prices paid for corn and oats, cornmeal and oatmeal should be selling at least 20 per cent below the price of wheat flour, and that corn and barley flour should be selling at least 10 per cent below wheat flour.
 The high levels ruling in grains as result of car shortages and stormy weather last winter have now fallen materially with greater freedom of transportation and the stocks accumu- lated by manufacturers and traders at the prices ruling then should have been generally liquidated by this time it is held. Investigations will be made in all cases where the dealer is be- lieved to be charging more than fair profit on substitutes.

FRUIT CROPS IN THE
 SALT RIVER VALLEY

Over 1900 crates of Newcastle ap. ricots have been shipped by the John. son-Pearce company. This variety is about gone now, and the later ones the Royal, are beginning to ripen. z Pearce, of the Johnson-Pearce com. pany, says that the demand for the fruit has been better than usual. Even though the cost of canning has about doubled since last year, the local de mand for this fruit exceeds that of last year.
 Generally speaking, the crop is a little short this year. Some of the orchards have heavier crops than or dinary, while other orchards have a much lighter bearing. The shipping points have been in this state, New Mexico, Texas and Colorado.
 The next crop which comes on for shipment is the figs; and there should be some early peaches about this same time. Then the plums and the later peaches and melons will keep the local dealers busy most of the summer season. The early peach crop this year is practically failure, and the fig crop is below normal. This is due, no doubt, to the cold nights we have been having. The figs will be ready for shipment in a few days. Mesa Tribune.

GERMAN FUR INTERESTS
 PURCHASED BY AMERICANS

Arrangements are being completed by which the interests of German fur men amounting to several millions of dollars, will be purchased by Ameri- can merchants and the money thus paid turned into the treasury.
 Before the war broke in Europe, ac- cording to a statement issued by the alien property custodian, the trade of American furriers was practically nothing but collecting and shipping agency for the Germans. Almost ev- cry pelt taken by American trappers went to Leipsiz before it could be sold. Although London was the worlds market, three-quarters of the fur shipped to London from America, Rus sia, and even China, went to Leipsiz for dressing and dyeing.
