FORESTRY ASSOCIATION FOR ARIZONA ORGANIZED
 AT STATE UNIVERSITY

TUCSON, Jan. 23.-With 50 inter- ested forest enthusiasts present the State Forestry Association was form ed at the University yesterday after noon. The meeting was the result of a circular letter sent out over the state to men interested in various phases of forestry work, by Director E. P. Taylor, of the extension service.
 H. Basil WileS, supervisor of the Coronado National Forest gave pa per on "The Scope of Forestry" us- ing the modern meaning for forestry. He showed how the forests affect all the industries of the state, including livestock, grazing, numbering, mining, fruit growing and recreation.
 Andrew Kimball, of Thatcher, az ricultural agent of the United States Railroad administration, talked on the protection of water sheds, as affect ing the general farmer and the Ari- Aoie"h WhV "ou1o to uSc tilc lOTeSCS for recreational purposes. He urged the building of check dam systems to prevent erosion and the adoption of the Rooseveltian adage "Save the For ests and Prevent the Floods"
 At the close of the meeting off cers were elected: Dr. Shreve, was made president; Louis Hofmeister, vice president; Director E. P. Taylor secretary and treasurer. An execu- tive committee consisting of these three and Andrew Kimball, Fred Gar ing of Flagstaff and H. Basil Wales will have charge of the affairs of the association. A constitution and bylaws were adopted.

TOBACCO PRICES TO
 AVIATE AGAIN

Further advances which are taking place in the prices of Kentucky tobac- co to growers make present values from 177 to not quite 300 per cent higher than before the war. If main tained this probably will mean that when the present crop has been re- duced to a manufactured state con- sumers will be asked to pay much higher prices for cigarettes, plug and smoking tobacco.
 Average prices from a number of markets indicate that leaf is general grown in this State is from 75 to more than 100 per cent higher than the opening last year, which was consid- cred a banner one for growers.
 Comparison of official quotations of the Louisville Tobacco Board of Trade for last week and for the week ended April II, 1913, shows that all grades of Kentucky tobacco are selling on the local market at an average of 3.6S times what they were bringing in that perior before the. war.
 Producers Income Trebled
 Producers are getting 3.S2 times as much for Dark Red Burley, ,3.69 times as much for Bright Red Burley, 3.SS times as much for Colory Burley and 2.77 times as much for Dark manu- featuring tobacco.
 New high record prices have been established on practically every one of the more than fifty markets of the State. Prices have reached as high as $f.53 for leaf in "basket" quantity and a large number of crops have averag- ed around $1 pound, with some few even higher.
 For the second week of this season Lexington, the biggest loose leaf mar ket in the world, reported an advance of 133 per cent as compared with the corresponding week last year.
 Mt. Sterling reports that its general average to date exceeds $45, a gain of more than $21 over the same period last year.
 Tobacco Land in Demand
 Farmers who formerly merely rent ed their land from large plantation owners, now are purchasing acreage from proceeds of this years crop alone, and speculation in tobacco lands is rampant.
 One farmer is reported to have re- ceived as much for forty acres of to- bacco as his 220 acre farm cost in 1878
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1920-01-31

while another obtained $1,00O more an acre for crop than he paid for the land on which the leaf was grown.
 Limousines are becoming common in the tobacco sections. Tobacco prices have created more excitement among farmers of the State than the famous night-riders exploits.
 "Pin-hooking" has become a favor ite sport on various markets. This consists of making an offer to grow CT for his crop while it is on the floor before the auction sales have started, and reselling at profit. One spec ulator bought crop at 70 cents a pound on the opening day of the sea son at one market and then got 90 cents at auction for it few minutes later.
 Louisville manufacturers assert that present retail prices to consumers are based on last years raw tobacco prices and that chewing and smoking tobacco will have to be advanced in the near future to meet higher prices being paid to growers this year. They ar que that prices to the consumer have not advanced in proportion to those for" raw leaf since before the war.
 Demand for Leaf Great
 Present high prices for raw leaf are the outgrowth of a tremendous increase in use of cigarettes in this country and much greater export demand for United States leaf, caus- ed largely by the wider introduction of it into England, France and Italy by the American Army during the war.
 Department of Commerce reports that 4,2s3, 1885 ,OO0 cigarettes were manufactured in this country during September, new high record, and a gain of 877,O0O,0O0 over the same month in 1918. Present production each month is more than one and one half times as great as the yearly pro-

SALVATION ARMY
 CARRIES ON RELIEF "OVER HERE" AS WELL

Denver, Colo, Jan. 31-Twenty- three thousand and thirty persons were given various forms of tempor- ary relief by the Salvation Army in the Inter-Mountain province in 1919, according to statistics just compiled at provincial headquarters by Lieut.. Col. John Cousins. This charitable effort is exclusive of the persons aided by the Army in its industrial homes and hotels. The figures show employ ment was found for 2,416 outside the Salvation Army institution of which number 1918 were men and 49S women. ..
 Christmas dinners were provided for 1850 in the year and 5,566 chil- dren were given Christmas toys while 1S0 Thanksgiving dinners were distri- buted. Under the auspices of the wearers of the red cap and bonnet ribbon 252 mothers and 353 children were given summer outings in the province.
 During the year the Salvationists provided meals outside their own in stitutions for 6,038 persons and beds for 1917 and distributed 502 pounds of ice to the needy and 1115,49 pounds of coal.
 There are only 35 corps and out posts with 92 officers and cadets in the province but 15,515 indoor meet ings were held with a total attend ance of 431,109. The total number of those who gathered about the drum and cornet at 15,109 open air meetings was estimated at 1,496,191, a total which testifies the potential power of the Army for good. Two thousand eight hundred and nineteen converts were made in the twelve-month period.

LIME IN 1918.

The lime manufactured for agricul- tural use in the United States in 1918 amounted to 391 ,O47 short tons, valued at S2,69s,s4S, according to figures submitted by the producers to the United States Geological Survey, De- partment of the Interior. The raw limestone pulverized and sold for land dressing amounted to 1,091,918 short tons, valued at $1 1,626, ,292. Compared with 1917, these figures represent a decrease of 20 per cent in quantity of lime and an increase of per cent in quantity of limestone used in agricul- ture.

duction at the time the so-called to- bacco trust was formed.
 Although the acreage planted in to- bacco this year was the largest in his tory some experts assert that the Bur- ley crop is nearly 30 per cent less than the average as result of drouth, all though the crop as whole is the larg- est on record in this State.
 The quality of the crop is mostly inferior, but what fine tobacco there is in it is superfine. Manufacturers are paying high prices to growers to stimulate production, and because they are obliged to compete with each other to maintain their suplies.
