Mother Nature for all her children
There is n law of compensating balances to this end
The abnormal is never permanent nor OF long DURATION
there is always return to the normal and before many
days.
This is large world.
1t is not a perfect world
1t is never imperfect in all its parts all at once
The Creator had this in mind doubt in making 1t so
large that the elements that bring famine in part will
not affect all parts in the same season.
For instance we have before us the special report of c.
A. King & Co.. Toledo, which says:
'The one outstanding fact in international agricultural
statistics is the unang regularity with which nature COM
pensaes poor crops in one or more countries with good
crops in Others. ..,-.. ..,,

famine has been almost unknown except thru defect IN
direct proof that in spite of the detection
in Russia and Balkan countries sufficient wheat has always
been produced for needs atho by turns Aus
tala India. Argentina and North America have all had
bad seasons
The report concludes by saying that the question may be
naturally asked where importing countries are TO ma sup
plies of wheat make good the undoubted losses which
have lately occurred in North America but it is answered
by saying that it would indeed be happy experience II
the losses North America good part OF them would

lean winter crop of 1914 the Indian crop of 1917 and
1913 the Australian crop of 1915 and 1916 and the Cana
dian crop of 1915.
All this is a clear ringing note of optimism.
It inspires human confidence in Nature by the proof that
Ian harvest in another part and all in the
There never was famine turnout the whole world all at
one time.
And with the perfection and extension Of transportation
there will be famine again in any part Of the world
Transportation is the final adjustment in the law Of
compensating balances.
Yes Mother Nature cares for her children not only in
the provision of the worlds fields but in giving them power
to abrdge distance land and that the full crops
may be taken to the place Of lean and in the same
year. and that all years may be finally full wherever her
children dwell.

years ago when that part of the val ley was being homesteaded, officers of the Mesa company Of the Arizona National guard had the two sections now under consideration set aside as a military reserve and 1t has since been held by the war department At pres ent the land is a desert. lying just east of the irrigated section, and it is now used only as a rifle range.
 Officials of the Mesa post of the Legion visited the two sections yes terday and are confident that the re- turned soldiers of this district can se- cure control of the land. Applications setting this forth are to be forwarded 10 the secretary of war this week.
 In. asking for the two sections the Mesa post has in mind repairing and utilizing the rifle range, establishing an aerial landing field. and at some future plan the erection of a club house and athletic fields on the site.

cattle and cattle buyers have been at
 tracted here from all parts of the country.
 Secretary Harry Welch of the cham
 Der of commerce has just received a communication from a county agricul- tural agent in Texas, to the effect that he expects to be here shortly to pur- chase IA carloads of dairy cattle. This is only one example of the demands of outside states for first-class dairy stock.
 This demand is expected to act as an l impetus to increase the value of good dairy cows and in addition it should 1 be somewhat of stimulus to dairy
 men and breeders, for it is said to be
 as certain as anything can be that
 prices of dairy cattle will increase
 rather than decrease within the next few years. The reputation which Salt
 River valley dairymen have made and
 are making for producing high-grade stock is bound to make this a section i that cattle buyers will seek when in need of first-class stock.
