NO CHEAP BEEF COMING

"Meat prices won't decline unless beef production increases" said Dr. c. w. McCampbell recently.
 "The population of the United States is increasing two per cent each year, while the beef production is on a decline. This same decrease of pro- duction is true for hogs and sheep as we'll as for cattle.
 "More livestock must be produced, but before this can be done, two prob lems must be met. First, stable cen- tral market must be maintained. At present the fluctuation of the market varies from hour to hour. The stock man may lose his profits by quick change in a market.
 "The second problem is that of the cost of production. More economical methods are now being worked out for the feeding of cattle. Forage must be used more.
 "The general decline of range indus try may possibly-though it will not necessarily-bring about diminution in the number of cattle grown in this country. It will certainly bring about such diminution unless the price of beef rises and remains permanently above the average of the last century.
 "In order that the decline in the number of range cattle may be coun- terbalanced, there must be corre- spending increase in the number of farm bred cattle. But such an in crease can not come about until the price of beef rises sufficiently to com pensate for the higher cost of raising cattle on the farms as compared with the ranges.
 "When produced in small quantities and as a by-product of agriculture, meat is one of the most economical articles of diet. In growing grain and vegetables there is much waste mate rial unsuited to human consumption, but which animals can consume, digest and turn into meat. The animal is from this point of view machine for converting inedible waste products into excellent food. ."-The American Breeder.

WATCH YOUR STUDS
 FOR POTATO WART

Keep sharp lookout for potato wart this season and report all. sus- picious cases and send specimens im- mediately to your county agents, your state experiment station or the United States Department of Agriculture, and thus aid in controlling this menace. If this dangerous new disease gets es- tablished it will put a stop to potato growing in the infested area and lead to a quarantine of the locality.
 At present potato wart has appear ed only in few gardens in mining sections of Pennsylvania, which are now under strict quarantine. It has reached that section in a shipment of European potatoes in 1911 or earlier. Thirteen million bushels came in that year and some of them may have been infected; consequently every potato grower is urged to watch his spuds, particularly at digging time, for signs of small, warty growth, particularly at the eyes. These growths may in crease until ultimately the entire tuber becomes a spongy, warty mass. The United States Department of Agricul- ture las published a circular which de- scribes the wart disease.-U. S. Bull letin.

CONDITION OF LIVE STOCK
 AND RANGES IN ARIZONA

Although there has been no rain in the district during the last week ranges in all sections continue to inn prove. Winter annuals have disap- peared from desert sections, but have been replaced by other forms of for age. In the north-central section, where winter conditions were severe and losses considerable reports state that feed is the best in years.
 The supervisor of the Tonto Forest states that with the exception of light rains in the Sierra Ancha mountains and in Pleasant Valley it has been un- usually dry in that forest during the past two weeks. Stock are looking well, however, and cowmen are pre- pairing for heavy shipments. He re- ports two hundred acre fire in the pine belt north of Payson under the Mogollon Rim, and states that snow has practically left the mountain ranges and that streams are gradually decreasing in their flow.

TO BUILD HOSPITALS

To alleviate human suffering and cure disease through the extension of its great system of hospital centers, now twenty-six in number, in coun- tries where groups of millions of peo- pie are without adequate medical at. tention, the Board of Foreign Mis- sions of the Methodist Episcopal church will spend $2.2sS,624 in build. ing forty-five more hospitals and twenty-four dispensaries in foreign countries as a result of the Methodist Centenary movement to raise $1o5,- 100000 for world reconstruction.
 This Is an entirely separate venture from that of the forty-eight hospitals maintained by the Methodist Episco- pal church in America through which pass annually over 90.000 patients.

MANY AGENCIES PLAN POTATO
 CROP INCREASE

The Board of Trade, the Coconino County Farm Bureau and the Santa Fe railroad are planning to better and increase the county's potato crop in so far as they can. The Santa Fe is in- terested because of the tonnage for the road growing out of the industry.
 F. P. Cruce, assistant freight and passenger agent for the road, of Phoe- nix, and c. L. Sitgraves of Chicago. supervisor of agriculture for the en- tire system, were in town Wednesday conferring with L. E.. Johnson of the Farm Bureau, and L. c. Riley, presi- dent of the Board of Trade.
 All of the gentlemen were exceed. ingly anxious to find some practical method of gaining their ends, and as a result meeting was called for June 21, backed by the two organizations above mentioned, and to which every farmer and interested person in the county is most cordially invited.
 MT. Seagraves or MT. Cruce will be present. It is also planned to have F.. P. Taylor, leader of the co-opera- tive extension service of agriculture and economies, connected with the University of Arizona, at the meeting, and also an expert on the potato bug menace from Phoenix. They also hope to get from Washington, D. C., rep resentative of the Bureau of Markets.
 They will try to do two things: In- crease the acreage grown, and by proper growing, grading and market ing increase the yield per acre.

WESTERN RANGE REPORTS

The past winter has been hard on range cattle. A great many have died Cattle are thin at the present time Cattle run on forest reserve during the summer. Plenty of water; feed not very good. Some grass cattle shipped during October, balance fed here. There is no open range here during the summer. Calf prospects not very good. We are running registered Shorthorn and Hereford bulls. No grade bulls are allowed on range.--- Orson Crazier, Jaub County, Utah.
 The cattle industry, more particu- larly the range feeding end, has had a very serious time for the past five or six months due to drouth during 1918, and very severe winter, many cattlemen losing from forty to sixty per cent of their cattle, but the spring has shown marked improvement and what range cattle have survived the drouth and cold will come on in good shape as ranges are now in good con dition.
 Buyers are taking our steers from $35.OO to $45.00 for yearlings; $50.0O to $55.00 for two's and $60.0O to $70.00 for three's. The pasture in Arizona for fattening is very limited as prac- tically all cattle fattened for Eastern market come from the Salt River valley. The winter snows and rains have supplied sufficient water for the range cattle and there will be nc shortage unless we fail to get out summer and fall rains. The calf crop has every indication of being very good; calves are dropping now.
 The cattlemen of Arizona, particu. larly in my section, are putting in good Hereford White Face bulls; and these bulls are mostly shipped in here from Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri ant Texas. During the past thirty days fully ten carloads have been purchased and turned on the ranges.
 The open range is fast becoming 2 thing of yesterday, and the once oper range is now being fenced. Where 2 few years ago you could travel fol days without seeing fenced range now every one is fencing. The Forest Service is favoring fenced allotments and many cattlemen are accepting ths opportunity and fencing.
 The rodeo work has now started ant in many places will be ready by June 1.-Fen. s. Hildreth, Maricopa Coun ty, Ariz., in the American Breeder.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, May 14.-Material price changes oc- cured in all divisions of the livestock market today. Cattle were weak to 15 cents lower, except stockers and feeders. Hogs rose 15 to 30 cents, and sheep were down 40 to 75 cents. De- mand for hogs was urgent and the outlet for both cattle and sheep was small.
 Today's Receipts
 Close to 15,000 cattle arrived today, and liberal supplies were reported on the road elsewhere. Here offerings from the West predominated. Mon tana, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, California, Arizona, Texas and Colorado, contrib uted liberal number of steers, and there was corresponding small sup ply from the corn belt. Hog receipts were 18,000, or 2,000 more than week ago, and 5000 larger than a year ago. Sheep 14,000, were 5000 larger than a week ago, and 4,O00 larger than a year ago.
 Beef Steers Down
 The inability of Pacific Coast mar kets to care for cattle fed within their own territory has turned large num- Der of steers to this market. Califor- nit sent thirty loads of steers and Or egon fifteen cars of steers today. The Salt River valley in Arizona had full trainload of fed steers. The principal weakness in the market was in Vest ern fed cattle and they were off 10 to 15 cents. Trading opened slowly but later was fairly active. Western steers sold mostly at $13.25 to $16.35 and native steers up to $16.50. Cows and heifers were steady to 10 cents lower and calves steady. Cows sold at $5.50 to S14.00, and heifers S9.50 to $15.25.
 StOcker and Feeder Supply Moderate Stockers and feeders were in moder- ate supply, and prices were steady. A good many Western steers were today bought as feeders at $l2.50 to $14.0O. Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas stockers sold at $10.50 to $15.00. Stock cows and heifers were scarce and steady.
 Hogs Higher
 ' Though receipts of hogs here were liberal, demand was urgent and prices rose 15 to 30 cents, mostly 25 certs, to within 20 to 25 cents of the high point reached last week. The top price was $20.75, and the bulk of the hogs sold at $20.25 to $20.60. Pigs were 25 cents higher at $16.00 to s19.75. The heavy hogs of choice quality remained at a premium. Both shipping and packing demand is large.
 Sheep and Lambs Off
 Dressed lamb and mutton prices are quoted off S2 00 to S400 at Eastern markets this week, and that decline is reflected in the sheep market today, with a drop of 50 to 75 cents. To aid the bearishness in the market off, ferings were wet. Wooded fed lambs sold at $17.75 to $18.50, springs $17.75 to $18.35, clipped lambs $14.50 to $15, and Texas sheep at $11.50 to 1900. Goats are quoted at $7.25 to $50.
