The Con- 'gressional party will leave the train at Gallup, New Mexico, on Tuesday morning, May 18th, for a two days inspection of the Navajo and Hopi reservations. Four days beginning Friday, May 21st, will be spent in the vicinity of Phoenix, during which time it is hoped that the committee will have an oppor- tunity to see the Roosevelt re servoir, to examine the San Car los dam site and the lands near Florence, Casa Grande and Sa- eaton, which wilf be included in the San Carlos irrigation project when constructed. Mr. Hayden has also insisted that the pro- posed reclamation project on the Colorado River Indian Reserva- tion near Parker be brought to the attention of the committee, and this will be done on May 18th.

 c. A. Pierce, president; A. s. Henderson, vice president; C.-L. Northcraft, treasurer; w. H. Barnett, secretary.

ARE BEES LIVESTOCK?
Ire bees livestock ?

Are bees 1lVoSGOCR!
 This puzzling question came up to bother staff members of the agricultural department of the Chamber of Commerce of El Paso, says the Times of that city.
 While there were number of reasons why the industrious in- sect which collects honey from alfalfa fields and carries a red hot sting concealed on it's per son should be classed among varieties of livestock, the usual custom is to class bees in the department of entomology, or "bugology" as it is popularly called.
 There are 1900 beehives or stands of bees in the El Paso valley, it has been estimated. :. Each hive has an average value of $7 O6, according to estimates of the United States Reclama- tion service. Because of the in creasing price of honey, how ever, the value is placed even higher by some.

COPPER OUTLOOK FRIGHTENING

John D. Ryan says world cop. per consumption in 12 months ended April 1, 1920, greatest in history, including the war years. Europe's stock is practically eX hausted.
 The fact that consumption ip one year has reduced the stocks in Europe to the absolute mini mum with which those countries can carry on business, and has wiped out all the governments surplus stocks, with only nomin- al consumption in Germany, which has heretofore been out side of the United States, the principal copper consuming na tion of the world, leaves the metal situation such that the only stocks available for new consumption are held by the American producers, and the amount unsOld is not more than

COTTON IN ARIZONA.

The success of growers of Egyptian cotton in the south west, particularly in Arizona, has been so great that the acre. age to be planted this year pro- bably will greatly exceed that of last year, which was approxim- ately 9O,OOO.
 The Egyptian cotton now be- ing grown so extensively is a long staple variety which has come to be distinct from any long staple cotton grown in Egypt by reason of scientific plant breeding conducted by federal specialists.
 With the exception of Sea Island, now practically destroy ed by the boil weevil, and the Meade, not yet esta blished on a large scale. there is said to be nothing in this country to com pare with this American Egyp- tian cotton.
 Because of it's superior quality and especial fitness for making thread, automobile tire fabric and other products, a strong demand for it has developed.

PATAGONIA.

Questioned as to what he thought of Patagonia's future prospects. J w. Miller, manager of the Patagonia Lumber com pany, replied ubstantially as follows. says the Patagonian:
 "Candidly speaking, the town is not all I had hoped it would be at this time, but when I con- pare present conditions with conditions that existed five years ago when I first came here, l feel that there is no just cause for com plaint. Then there were only a few small houses in the town, but now. as you can see. we have the best, cleanest and most progressive town between Nogales and Benson. We now have some beautiful homes and splendid business houses here, and our trade territory extends long way in almost every direction. tagonia has never had boom but there has been a steady and substantial growth for the past several years, and new enterprises are constantly y being added. We will eventual ly have a large town but I think that our progress iD that direc tion would be much more rapid if all of our citizens would prac- tice a little closer co operation. "

FARMERS ADVISED TO GROW
BEETS AT PRICE OFFERED.

That the Michigan Farm Bureau
has no immediate remedy to offer for
solution of the difficulties that gave
rise to the strike of sugar-beet grow
ers last summer is the gist of a re-
port made by special committee of
the bureau to representative of
the growers.
The report says the bureau will
proceed with its investigation of the
cost of sugar manufacturing ma
chinery and plants, with a view to
taking over the business of beet-su-
gar manufacture within a few years,
if the growers fail to reach an un-
derstanding with the present manu-
featuring interests.
For the. present, however, the in
dlvidual growers are practically told
that they should endeavor to make
such contracts with the manufacture
ers as they can. Although the re-
port isnot specific it seems to advise
against continuance of the strike be-
gun last spring.
