Crop Report

The Government Crop Report
issued thorough the office Of field
Agent R. F. Hare of the Bureau
of Crop Estimates shows condi-
tions forecast record production
of crops this year both in the
state and nation.
Winter Wheat
Only 5 per cent of the 1870, 600
acres Of this crop that were
planted last Fall has been a.
bandoned. To date there remains
for harvest 173. 600 acres, with a
condition Of los per cent Of nor
NAL, If no unfavorable condi-
tions develop before harvest the
state should produce 1896. 300
bushels Of winter wheat this sea
son. The 1917 crop of l.340. 900
is the largest produced in the
state to date.
Union, Mora, Curry and Quay
counties will produce 80 per cent
of this large crop.
In the United States AZ. 933. 600
acres will be harvested. The
condition of 100 per cent on May
1st of this crop forecasts a billion
bushel winter wheat crop this
season for this country.
Reports compiled by Dr. Hare
show that livestock mortality
from starvation and exposure the
past year was Horses and mules
$500 or 20 per 1000
Cattle l72. 900 or 1873 out Of
every thousand.
Sheep $4,000 or 165 per
thousand died of starvation.
Cond ton of cattle and sheep
is now IS per centof normal, due
to scarcitv of feed and entire
lack of shelter the past winter.

Farmers Meeting

Prof. Trumbull reports that he
has been held on Jury duty at
Ell Paso and will be unable. to
come to Roy for another week
or more.
The urgency for quick action
in the matter of mutual hail in
surance has led some wheat
raisers to formulate al plan which
they wish to present to the other
wheat growers at a meeting to
be held at Judge Fosters Office
in Roy Saturday May 18th at 10
O'Clock. Am.
In the rough the plan is to
choose a president and secretary
who will work without pay so
that the law for the big compan-
les may not be violated, then de
eide on the amount of risk they
will carry and the amount they
will obligate themselves to pay
if necessary, then take note
secured by a mortgage on his
wheat crop from every subscrib
er for the amount he is liable for
to be held by the officers of the
company who will collect on the
notes only if the party giving
them refuses to pay his assess
ments for losses, and shall return
them to the makers at the end
of the season Of risk. By this
means it is believed a hundred
or five hundred farmers may
protect each other from hail loss
and the cost will be only in pro-
portion to the losses with no big
rAke-off on commissions and sal
aries, If you are interested at
tend this meeting and bring your
plan along if you have a better
one.

Thursday was Cleanup Day"
in Roy according to the Mayors
proclamation and many a tin can
found a new home in the village
dumping grounds. Most people
made more or less efficient at
temps to comply with the order
and the public health will doubt
less be improved in consequence
1t is not to be taken that the
whole town is immaculate by any
means but it is. better than it
was.

Mrs. 2. ]. Reynolds, the music
teacher announces that she will
continue to give lessons to her
pupils thruout.the summer. She
will continue at Mrs. Groves
home for the present but hopes
to secure more convenient ar
rangements soon.
Those who attended the
graduating exercises last week
were surprised at the showing
she has made with the school
children who have been under
her charge this season, 1t takes
real musical talent and natural
ability as a teacher to acquire
such results in one term. The
parents Of Roy should be very
grateful to Mrs. Reynolds for
what she has done for their child
ren. Few small towns are SO
fortunate as to possess such a
teacher,

Graduation

a
The graduation exercises Of
the Roy Grammar School, held
at the Baptist Churh, last Thurs
day evening marked the passing

Five boys and four girls con-
stitute, the class. these are
Messrs Frank Baker, Mars hall
Hunter, Ernest Wade, Wenze!
Swain, Murl johnson, Misses
Hazel Halferty, Ruth Depew,
Perry Smith, and Lottie Butts,
the last named was valedictorian
for the class. The program was
short and appropriate followed
by a short address by Mr.. Geo.
Lougee Sec'y to the State Supt.
who criticised the school severe
ly for not having any Manual
Training or Agricultural appli.
ances. Some patrons of the
School resented it, as heretofore
we have prided ourselves in
these and many other things in
advance of all the other schools
in the county, However, there
was nothing to say at this time,
The church was beautifully
decorated in the Glass Colors,
Red, white and Blue, the girls
were TASTEFUL dressed and the
boys were not awkward.
The music was especially
pleasing and the audience was
surprised at the proficiency of
some mere tyros fin the art,
under the skilled training of Mrs
Reynolds who taught altogether
outside the schools,
Mrs. Wilcox, member of the
School Board, presented the di-
plomas to the class witha clever
and appropriate address.
