The violent fall in the prices of
wheat and cotton have confronted
farmers of this country with the
grayeSt problem they have been ask
ed to meet in many years. To very
large extent this decline has been
brought about by a falling off in
sales to the outside world, by disor-
ganization of the violent fluctuations
in European exchange rates, and by
the inability of the outside world, es-
Ipecially Europe, to pay Immediately
for the agricultural products, and in
fact, for all the eXportable products
that America has to offer.
The dependence of our wheat
farms and cotton growers upon ex-
port trade may be judged from the
fact that normally fully one-quarter
of our wheat output is sent abroad
and more than one-half of the cotton
we grow.
What the world demands from us
may continue for several years to
come to exceed what it is able to sell
US in return. 1t is our duty then,
and by that is meant not only our
duty to the world, but our duty to
ourselves, if we wish to maintain our
own exports, to extend credit that
will run for several years. 1t is out
of the question for credit running -sr

~ FOR THE WEST

To determine the varieties of Aus tralian wheat best adapted to condi- tions on the Pacific coast, the United States department of agriculture has conducted series of experiments which accurately ascertained the yield and quality of those varieties already of commercial importance in that re- zion, as we'll as other varieties, sam- ples of which were brought direct from Australia. In connection with the latter phase of the investigation more than 130 samples of wheat were obtained, representing 92 distinct va rieties.
 Results from the early experiments with these wheats show that the Federation group" consisting of three varieties, Federation, Hard Fed eration and White Federation, is prob ably the best suited to this western region. These three varieties were compared in yield with the leading commercial wheats, including the Bluestem, Australian varieties. Pa cific, White Australian, and Early Baart, and produced higher yields, ac-

CATTLE PROSPECTS-PACKERS
 USE BUYING CONVERSATION

Cattle shortage deferred by COW slaughter for year with continued forays by packers upon beef prices, is causing panicky feeling among kill CTS. Their bluff as to cattle every where, is not supported by fact and is merely buying conversation. Money is loosening up for stock. California banks making loans to good people for safe values at 2 per cent and per cent.
 The plain truth is that steers of ma turity are minus. They are not here, in Arizona, Utah, Nevada or any other state in sufficient numbers to supply the slaughter demand. It will take close work for the packers to get the twenty thousand they must winter feed in Los Angeles yards, as others won't be such fools as to feed again this year without price guarantees. A few may; but just remember this you cowmen, and stay with the ship.
 Los Angeles and San Francisco to- gether kill half million cattle and calves yearly. San Francisco this year went further south than usual for its stock, Los Angeles weathered through and made low beef price possible on account of the cheap Arizona cattle which put on fat from range suffici- ent to kill white. The coast demands a million cattle yearly. Where will they come from? California has sent hundreds of thousands of breeding stock to the shambles, because two. thirds has been drouth stricken, and i this is fourth dry year. Five dry Cal. ifornia years never happened in his. tory, fourth only a few times, and every outlook is for plentiful rains This will mean restocking and people will hold and banks will loan wher they know cattle are on good feed ant safe. California is, according to some third short of normal numbers. 9th CTS claim 50 per cent. The entire Ari zona years shipments of two hundred thousand cattle would be nothing tt absorb. California in normal year. can carry two million and half cattle Other states are short.

NEW WHEAT WIDELY GROWN

Deep interest in the success of Kan red wheat reported from Kansas is being shown by specialists of the bu- reau of plant industry of the United States department of agriculture. Ac- cording to reports this years acreage of Kanred is estimated by Kansas au- thorities to have been about 800, ,000 acres. Of this total area 15,000 to 10000 acres, grown by selected farm CTS, have been carefully inspected in the field by representative of the Kansas Agricultural College and cer- tified as furnishing sources of seed of high quality and purity.
 Kanred is a variety of hard red win ter wheat developed by the Kansas agricultural experiment station. It was obtained by selection from the Crimean variety of hard red winter wheat introduced from Russia by the bureau of plant industry of the fed- eral department of agriculture and widely grown in Kansas and adjacent states.
 It was developed by the Kansas scientists with special reference to conditions and has proved to be a bet ter yielder by to 5 bushels to the acre compared with other hard red winter wheats. Its better yield is due in part to greater resistence to win terkilling and to rust and in part to it's slightly earlier ripening, say spe- cialists of the department.

GET g GALLONS OF
 HOOTCH IN 1919?--
 IF NOT, WHY NOT?

If you didn't get nine gallons of in- toxicating liquors last year, you were out of luck. If, in that same period, you failed to receive 390 cigarets, 76 cigars and half pound of chewing to- bacco or snuff you were jinxed.
 Government statisticians figure that for every man, woman and child in the United States last year there was consumed 917 gallons of liquor, and the above amount of tobaccos.
 Thirty-nine billion factory made cig- arets were consumed, or 390 per cap ita. This takes no account of those who Troll their own." Altogether, 55,- GOO, 100000 cigarets were made here, but 16,OOO, 100000 of them were ex- ported. The production of cigars was 7,629, ,0O0, ,000. Chewing tobacco and snuff aggregated 427 100000 pounds.
 The nations drink bill for the last thre years amounted to $1,57S, ,690, 900 annually.

ARMY WORM DESTROYING
 GRAIN IN ROUND VALLEY

The army worm is doing much damage in Round Valley and the grain crop up there-our principal source of local cereal supply--is evidently going to be 2 light one, especially of oats. There has been horde of small white butterflies all over this part of Ari- zona this season. They were the months of the army worms and the worms have been showing up in sev- eral parts of the county, but the dam age has been slight except in the up- per valley.
 The worms attack the heads of the grain and are eating the kernels just as the grain is in the, milk or dough. Because of the smalH amount of rain the grain is ripening early this year, and the farmers are cutting at rush rate. Where the worms are the worst the oats is being cut for hay, as the raking breaks the worms loose from their hold on the heads. Other patch es are being cut with binders, though not entirely ripe, as sheaf ripening is preferable to the ravages of the pests.
 The percentage of loss cannot yet be told, but it will be considerable. Much of the grain is entirely unfit for threshing, while a considerable DOT tion of what is threshed will be light, partly because the kernels have been sucked or eaten. Some of the upper country farmers estimate that they will not have more than half crop of oats, though others think they will save as much as two-thirds.
 This much is sure, the local oats supply will be short this fall.-St Johns Observer.

SAYS LOCAL WHEAT CROP
 NOT HEAVY BUT GOOD

Fred J. Lusk, who has carefully canvassed the wheat prospects in this county, says that while the crop will not be heavy, it is good. Harvesting is now being done, and the heads are well-filled out with good kernels. In no case is the crop failure. Prob ably good deal of this is due to the fact that Marquis wheat was used for seed by most of the farmers. It is hardy, drought-resistant, less liable to disease than most other varieties and natures about two weeks earlier.

DON'T BUY PORK-CAN IT

There's a profit in selling pigs and
 buying pork-but not for the farm
 CT who follows this practice. The farmers most profitable course is to
 kill, cure, and can enough pork for
 his own use and sell any additional
 amounts which he can produce and for which there is demand. The practice of home curing pork has suf- fered through neglect, but it is now
 being revived, according to the bu-
 reau of animal industry and the states relations service. These two bureaus of the United States department of agriculture are cooperating to en- courage the general adoption of this wholesome usage among farmers. Home-cured pork, scrapple, pork pud- ding, sausage, canned pork, head cheese, and lard are among the foods which the farmer should get from his own cellar shelves and not from the city market All transportation costs and commissions remain in his pock- cts.
 A bulletin, killing Hogs and Cur ing Pork" now being revised by the department of agriculture, will soon be ready for issue. New methods and im- provements have been given space in this discussion, and details of the processes for canning fresh pork have
 been added. Canning preserves pork with fresh pork fiavors and lessens the toll and time incident to some of the older ways of curing the product. Be-
 sides being rapid and simple, the new process saves pounds of pork for all periods of year which formerly had
 to be eaten soon after slaughter or be wasted.
