DIARY INDUSTRY FACES RUIN
 ev BAD FARM POLICIES

PHOENlX, Oct 7-Pdshed to the wall and doomed to early collapse, the diary industry of ike Salt River valley cannot possibly suryive another two years as disastrous as the. pas. according to the unanimous opinion of prominent cotton growers and diary men who met in conference yester- day afternoon at the chamber of com merce. Thirty representatives of prac- tically every industry in the valley were present.
 Subs ,itution Of crop rotation for the present ruinoas one-crop policy is the only hope, il was said.
 How alarming is the dairy situation may be understood readily, when it is known that the number of dairy COWS in the valley has slumped saarp.y from 55.000 in 1917 to 22,O00 al the resent time.
 There are $500 fewer dairy cows ill the valley today than in 1914. when business men and lea-:ng farmers first launched the movement for in- creased milk and butter fat produc- ton. Eight cheese factories in exi5- tence l5 months ago. representing a combined demand Of 50.o0O pounds o: milk day, have ceased to exist.
 That the price of whole milk will | shortly rise 60 a p-ohibitiye figure un- der present conditions is the frank prediction of W X. Barr, state dairy i commissioner, who declares that even
 today there is not enough milk and
 butter in the Sat River valley ',
 supply the local demand.

cATTLEMEN IN HURRY
 TO GET LIVESTOCK OUT

DOUGLAS, Oct. 9.-As a result of the near approach of the dates of ex- piration of bonds made by American ca;tlemen with Mexican authorities for the importation into Mexico of cattle to be grazed on Sonora range, there is in evidence desperate haste on the part of the American ownefs to get the cattle back on AmericaI soil To have the cattle in Mexico upcn the expiration of the bonds would be ruinous to many cattlemen as i: would cost slo per head export fee, payable 10 the Mexican government. while. in the case of the young 'sna stuff nothing under seven years old could be brought out and the exporta- tion of cows from Mexico is absolutely prohibited.
 The cattle were taken into Sonora by many Ccchise county and Gran, county. x N. cat;lemen in the fa.l of 1917, when drought had made the range in this part Of the southwest q veritabie desert. For each head entered bond Of sl0 was placed in the keeping of the Mexican government. | Further entrance ot cattle into MeXi- co was made late in 1918. Many of these bonds wlll expire in the near future and the owners of the stock have been rounding up their animals and shipping them back to Arizona for several days.
 The roundup in Sonora is not as successful as might have been ex- pecled. il is reported among local cow men. only about so per cent of the stuff taken into Sonora being gath cred. When so per cent is mentioned this is intended to include not only mature stuff. but calves as well. This condition is attributed to the activi- " of rustlers. as well as to alleged misappropriation Of negotiable bonds which, however, is said to have been manipulated in such way that i' was no; actionah!e. Some litigation n the Mexican courts has developed rom this source. i, was understood locally.
 Among shipments made through here in the last few days were those 5t Frank Clark, who brought 200 head ou; Tuesday. Hennessy X Stephens will bring olt 1900 head today. Joe LawhOn will have a trainload out about the twelfth.
 Al the same time shipments have been coming out through the port Of Nac0 Nineteen hundred head were brought out there last Saturday and Sunday.

Few men and women in this To- caiity have failed to heed the D. peal for bigger crops which was is sued by the government early this spring. There was such wide sui. fering in many parts of Europe and Asia. because of a lack Of food. and the likelihood of big crors in those countries seemed so remote that it was deemed necessary for America to increase its production consid erably. One proof of the unusual response of this community to the request of the government lies in the large number of inquiries about exhibit space Tud premiums which are being received bv the coming Arizona State Fair, to be held at Phoenix, Nov. 3S. inclusive. ~
