lOWES CEMENT BIDS
 RECEIVED BY STATE

PHOENIX. Aug 1e-Cement is coming down. At least it seems to be for the state highway department has received bids that point that way. Bids for cement for state highways and bridges have been received from four different places including some in California and Texas.
 All but one of the bids was on a base Of si per barrel with 50 cents reduction for sacks, less per cent off for cash in 10 days, less a per cent discount because of use on federal projects, making the price 3.31 1-3.
 The bid of the San Antonio Port land Cement company. on the other hand. was based on a price of s3.35 less 50 and cents, making the price g 5a per barrel. or fl 1-3 cents less than the other bids submitted.
 Figured on the basis of the thou sands of barrels of cement that are 10 be used, this will make a very appre- ciable saving to the state Of highway construction.

PROSPECTS FOR DRY
 FARMERS EXCELLENT

PHOENIX, Aug. I3.-Moderate to heavy ral0all and below normal tenn peratures have characterized the past week. Crops generally over the state have progressed well under these conditions showing normal develop ment or better. In dry farming sec tions the prospects are excellen.. No mention is made of damage from ln- sect pests. As a result of the heavy rainfall cotton growth in the Salt Ri. yer valley has continued too rank on heavy soils though there has been little shedding. Weeds also have be- come more troublesome. On sandy soils comprising perhaps one-fourth of the acreage, the abundant rain has been a decided advantage.
