LIVESTOCK AND RANGES

PHOENlN. April 25.-GeneralI!
favorable weather conditions pre-
vailed over Arizona and western New
Mexico during the past week. accord
ing to reports to the Weather Burea L
office. Previous to Friday high
winds had done much to remove
snow from the higher attitudes anC
little remained below s,00o feet The
storm OF Friday added somewhat to
the snow covered area but abundant
sunshine and continued high winds
again caused its rapid disappearance.
Pastures are developing slowly, ow-
ing principally to the cool nights,
but abundant old grass and new
browse are keeping stock in good
condition. Much OF the cattle on the
range in the Apache Indian Reserya-
ton are fat enough to make fair
beef. Calying is now in progress ov-
er the greater part CT the district
and reports indicate satisfactory con-
ditiops with a high percentage OF in
crease. Losses thus far are not I'M
usual.
Crop Progress in Arizona
Reports from the state outside the
lower valleys indicate that agricui-
tural activities are considerably be-
hind the average for the season. Wet
and cool weather have hindered
blowing and planting but both are
now active even in the mountain sec.
tons Frosts have done much injury
TO fruit, apples only giving any pro-
mise of crop. In the lower valleys
high winds and cool nights have re.
tarded the development of cotton
which Is from two to three week !,
behind normal. Termination has
been slow owing to the rapid drying
Of the soil and for this reason some
further replanting may be essary.
1t is expected that planting will be
completed this week. The first cut.
ting of alfalfa is now progressing in
the Salt River Valley and the crop
is said TO be excellent
