TOO MUCH THANK YOU"
 NOT ENOUGH KALE

We honestly believe in the matter of doing things for mere thank you," the weekly newspapers of this country hold the record.
 We say it with no desire to discrim- mate, for we believe Stafford people are no different from those to be found elsewhere, but we feel that on reflection they will agree it is true that for the number of favors render ed no other institution is as poorly paid as the newspaper. The church has bazaar, the school has concert or a play, club brings paid speak CT, fighter or musician to town, and does so to make money, and yet in al most every instance the newspaper is and then be satisfied with a free tick ct. And often, very often, the pro- moters overlook the free ticket.
 It is hard for some people to un- derstand that all newspaper has to sell is its space, or at least that part of its space not devoted to actual news happenings. If it gives away its space, where is it to get money for more white paper, more for ink, more metal for the linotype-and for rent, and heat, and light, and telephone and, oh mercy! interest on the mort gage, and some other things?
 People wouldn't go to the merchant and say, "We're going to hold ba- zaar to make some money; give us some of your goods to sell that night" Yet they say to the editor: We're going to hold~a bazaar; give us your advertising space so we can get a crowd that will spend it's money" And the editor graciously kicks in.
 The newspapers are here to boost every worthy institution-and this one expects to keep on doing it. But

ALFALFA AND GRAIN TO
 COME BACK IN SALT RIVER

Cotton acreage in the Salt River valley project next year will be only 30 per cent of the 1920 acreage, in the opinion of F. C. Henshaw, secretary of the Water Users association, bas- ed on the result of a partial survey in all sections of the valley.
 Not more than 72,000 acres within the project will be planted to cotton in 1921, the survey indicates, as com pared with approximately 145,000 acres in 1920. The above figures will probably be reduced materially when planting season arrives, it is declared.
 In place of cotton farmers will plant grains, especially the heavier grains such as milo maize and barley, Mir. Henshaw declared. Grain acre age for 1921 will triple that of last year, he said.
 There is an unmistakable trend among the farmers to return to all falfa. Some few already have plant ed a portion of their ranches to the old standby" he said, while others will be prohibited from doing so only because of the lateness of the season.
 Failure to get off their cotton crops will prevent many from planting al falfa the coming season, but another season will see big alfalfa acreage in the valley, he declared.

LIVESTOCK SANITARY
 CODE MAY CHANGE

A revision of the livestock sanitary code to make more effective the rules and regulations pertaining to the sale of hides and carcasses is contemplated by members of the board.
 The board met in the final session for the year yesterday, all members being present with the exception of Jack Barber. Most of the session was devoted to going over the present law with R. F.. L. Shepherd, counsel for the board, picking out the weak spots and taking up changes suggested by F.. w. Stephens, secretary, and at torney.
 Several changes are under consider ation and these will be made known shortly. According to Stephens live stock inspectors here been having trouble with fresh meat vendors, some of whom are securing their supplies from questioned sources; there has also been some little cattle rustling, and it is with the aim of stamping out these illicit practices that the board is working on revision of the law.

COUNTY ATTORNEYS OF
 STATE HOLD MEETING

All jurors would be selected by county jury commissions if recommen- dations framed at Phoenix Saturday by the new County Attorneys associ- ation, is needed by the legislature.
 The attorneys met at the call of J. w. Galbraith, attorney general, for the purpose of outlining plans of CO., operation between state and county legal officers and the meeting resulted in the adoption of a definite agree ment to this end. Many amendments to the criminal law were suggested and will be worked out by a commit tee. These affect bastardy proceed ings and fees and expenses of wit nesses in criminal cases. Under the present law witness in a criminal case receives no fee.
 Attention was also called to the fact that the state makes no provision for the care of normal and abnormal de- pendent children and remedial legis- latiOn is to be worked out. It was also suggested law should be passed to compel relatives to care for docile in- sane to relieve congestion at the state hospital, also to send insane non-resi- dents to their home state for treat ment.
 To make the law regarding the sale of contraband meat more effective, it was suggested that it be changed to lay the burden of proof on the de- fendant as to the ownership of ani- mals killed.
 Under the present law it is up to the county attorney to prove owner ship and it is next to impossible.
 The next meeting of the association comes in July. Among those present were F.. s. Clark, deputy county at- torney of Yavapai; Kirk T. Moore, of Tucson; A. H. DeRiemer, of Santa Cruz; F. M. Gold, of Coconino; L. M. Laney, of Maricopa, and County At torneys-elect Smith, of Graham; Greer, of Apache; Greer, of Navajo; Halsen, of Cochise; George R. Dar- nell, of Pima, and his assistant Ben B. Mathews.

WOOL SALES BETTER;
 FUTURE PROMISING

Through the courtesy of M. l. Pow CTS, president of the Citizens bank, The Sun has received a comprehens- i've review of the wool situation as it is seen by the Commercial Bulletin, of Boston, a recognized authority.
 From this review we extract the following:
 There has been more business in wool in Boston in the last few days than for many weeks. Conservative estimates place the amount sold as five million pounds. For many grades the bottom has been reached, as the mills have begun to operate once more in substantial way.
 The immediate future may not show much change in the wool market, but the more remote future seems to show very active and prosperous business.
 Conditions are not unlike those of the closing days of the Cleveland ad- ministration in 1896-7.
 Just now the mills of the country are not running in excess of 25 to 30 per cent of capacity.
 The manufacturers in textile lines in New England generally have an nounced this week the decision to re- duce wages 22 l-2 per cent, which brings them back to the level obtain ing in November, 1919.
 Wool prices have fallen off in Lon don. It is rumored that Germany is arranging to take immense quantities

FOREST SERVICE NOT>
 TO RAISE GRAZING FEES

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.-Grazing at present is the principal source of money return to the government from the National Forests, so states the secretary of Agriculture, E. T. Mere dith in his annu'l report to the presi- dent. Since 1915 adds the secretary, the grazing fees have been doubled, with the view of making them com mensurate with current rental rates for neighboring private lands of the same character. When the existing rates were established, the users of the range understood that they would remain in effect for five years, and many of the grazing permits were is- sued for this period. The value of the grazing privilege on many ranges sub sequently advanced and considerable sentiment in favor of an immediate further increase in the fees developed.
 The good faith of the government would be impaired by such a course. Furthermore, to advance the fees at the present time would add seriously to the instability which confronts the National Forest livestock industry be- cause of changing market conditions, and would be neither just nor good public policy.
 No policy has been laid down by congress for the guidance of the de- partment in the exercise of the ad- ministrative discretion, with which it has for fifteen years been vested, to determine the conditions under which the use of the range should be permit ted If congress desires to prescribe such a policy, says Secretory Mere dith, it should not take effect until after 1923, when the existing leases will expire. Even in the absence of legislation, the department will make a classification of the ranges and fix a new scale of charges, to be imposed in 1924, under which the fees will rep resent the actual grazing value of the particular portion of the range used by each permittee or group of permit tees. Before the new scale is determ- ined, an opportunity will be given the local associations of National Forest range users to submit any data re- garding the fairness of the proposed fees which they may desire to present.

 Boston Market.
 Sales of fine and fine medium terri tory wool have been fairly heavy dur ing the past week, including some of the choicer wools and some of the less attractive also, the best fine and fine medium territory wools in the original bags bringing around 75 cents, while the less attractive have sold at about 65 cents, clean basis. Fine staple ter ritory wool graded is difficult to quote some business having been done at low level, but on the whole quotation of S0@S5 cents does not seem too far fetched for really choice wool, while half blood staple is quotable at about 70 cents; three-eighths at about 60 cents and quarter-blood staple at 45 cents.
 Some Ohio quarter and three eighths combing wool has been sold re- gently at go and 30 cents, respectively, for wools estimated to shrink about 43 and AZ per cent and some quarter and three -eighths Missouri combing, in- cluding baby combing, has been sold at about 26 cents, with rejections bringing IA cents.
 There has been some business in secured wools again this week, good fine As having been sold at 70 cents. supers are quoted at 40@45 cents, secured, while C supers are held at about 25 cents. Some fine Australian secured has been sold at about CSC 70 cents for fairly good wool. Fine Capes are in demand at price but sellers generally are asking more money than the mills are willing to pay.
 Some sales of South American crossbreds both on spot and to arrive are reported but mostly the sales are for importation, Lincolns being quot ed at II to 12 cents while fours are quoted around 16 cents and threes around 19 to 20 cents. > Noils have been rather dull and prices show no change of moment, fine noils being quotable at about 35@40 cents and ranging down to Is to P cents for an average to high quarter
