TRACTORS IN ARIZONA

''There can be no question about it. Tractors are here to stay. They are not perfect by any means but are rapidly be- coming more nearly so," says R. 5. Hawkins, Assistant Agrono- mist of the University of Ari- zona.
 "The percentage of success with tractors on farms is decid- edly greater now than it was five years ago and will be great CT five years hence, than it is now. It is more of an engin- eering feat to build a tractor that will stand up under the hard usage that it will get than it is to construct a good auto mobile.
 "The fact that one company alone has sold over 200 tractors in the Salt River Valley during the past year is a fair index as to the growing demand of pow CT farming. Other companies have sold almost as many. Trac- tors are especially valuble in this section of the state on ac- count of the excessice heat, making it hard on horses. and also from the fact that they may be used the year round. It is poor economy to invest sever. al hundred dollars in machine that can be used but few days in the year and stands idle for the rest of the time.
 Tractors should be bought to suit the needs of the particu- lar farms on which they are to be used. If the farm of the prospective tractor buyer has some hard adobe land in it a tractor should be obtained that has plenty of power to blow this land without any appreclable over-working. The rest of the farm may be easy blowing, but unless the tractor can handle this part of farm work we'll 1t is not satisfactory machine. t'Let the other fellow do the experimenting and buy only those machines that have been tried out and have proven them selves to be satisfactory and built of good materials. A cheap tractor is very seldom a good investment.
 Service is another item that should be considered. Unless the company that sold the trac- tor is prepared to furnish

There are 50,OOO fewer acres for hay than last year, the acrege this year being reported at 9O,OOO.

 Fruit conditions are the poor est for several years, the late frosts having greatly damaged the crops. Peaches suffered the most, being reported at 30 per cent of normal. This com pares with a condition of 90 on June 1 last year, and "A, the 1O-year June average.

 While the condition of the cotton crop abut June 1 was only 80 per cent of normal, the present outlook is considerably better than could have been hoped earlier. The acreage of American-Egyptian is placed at 21O,OOO acres, and of short sta pie, at 10000 acres. This com- pares with 87,OOO acres of ,American-Egyptian, and 10000 acres of short staple in 1919.

citation that will likely come can only be told from experience, preferably some one elsa's ex- perience. s
 Fuel and oil consumption are also items of importance to note. A tractor should not be wasteful of oil but most cer- tainly should use enough for proper fabrication. It goes without saying that the ma- chine which can generate the most power from the least \ amount of fuel, everything else being equal, is the best ma- chine.

How Food Inspection Helps
 If New York apple grower

4A0 '" \ WI AAASH~>eAOAA AA~AF
 If a New York apple grower ships his finest fruit to Pennsyl' vania and later receives a re. port that it has arrived in poor condition, he either accuses the receiver of dishonesty, or lays the blame to the railroad. An argument ensues; time and money are lost.
 But if the shipper had de- manded a Government inspec- tion of the shipment as a matter of course, he would know be- yond the shadow of a doubt the precise condition in which his apples were received.
 An increasing number of ship pers and buyers are protecting themselves by the use of this service. Only recently an ex- porter stated that because of having a Government inspec- ton of his export produce his business has grown consider ably, for his clients in foreign markets now have prima facie evidence attesting the condition of the fruit before it is loaded on the boat, and are literally deluging him with orders.
 The Food Products Inspec- tion Service rendered by the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agricul- ture, is of inestimable value in facilitating the distribution of products covered, in hastening the release of cars, in forestall- ing deterioration and waste on account of delays resulting from disputes as to the condi- tion of fruits and vegetables, and in preventing questionable trade practices.
 Full information can be had regarding the service by writ /, ing the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. c. Arizona Crop Report for June
 The condition of Arizona's wheat crop on June 1 was 95 per cent of normal, which indi- cates total production of near enc million bushels, according to the Federal crop report just issued by l.. M. Harrison, Ari- zona Field Agent for the U. s. Bureau of Crop Estimates. Last year on June 1 the condition 1 of the crop was 95.
 Oats conditions June l were reported at 96 per cent of nor nal. This compares with 96 last year at this time and 94, the ten year June average. The acreage is estimated at 13,OOO the same as last season. Coco nino County reports 4,OOO acres Apache, 4,OGO; Maricopa 1,5OC Navajo 1,50O; and Yavpai, 700. l Barley conditions were re- ported at 96 per cent, compar- ed with 97 last year on June 1, and 93, the 1O-year June aver age. The acreage shows de- cline of 5000 from that of last year, being estimated at 24,OOO acres. Maricopa county re- ports 8,1OO acres; Pinal 5000; Graham, 5000; and Pima, | 2,5OO.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an unframed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be re- duced and this tube restored to it's nor mai condition, hearing may be destroyed forever.

Grazing lands and other problems of concern to wes- tern stockmen will be dis cussed at a meeting of the Arizona Cattle Growers as- sociation and the Arizona Wool Growers association at Flagstaff, Arizona, July 2 and 8.
 Secretary of the Interior Payne, Secretary of Agricul- ture Meredith and Clay Tall man, commissioner of the general land office, have been asked to be present. Investigations have a | s o been sent to forest service officials in Washington and inNeW Mexico and Arizona.
 Three matters closely con- corning the sheep and cattle raising industries are to be discussed. The first is 3 proposal to urge congression- al regulation of grazing or the public domain, under which term is included some 20, O,000,000 acres of range land.

 The second matter is en- dorsement or other expres- sion concerning legislation for control of the packing in- dustry. An Investigating committee appointed at the last meeting of the Arizona Cattle Growers association at Tucson last February is to report.
 Stock grazing in national forest reserves will be the third issue. Expansion of pastures, building of division fences and decreasing of minimum permits will be phases of this issue to be discussed.

Plenty of capital is behind this new company and 1t will make Its initial bow under more propitious circumstances than some of the wells now under way had at the start. Dad Hastings assures a Workmanlike job. Much interest is manifest in the operations of this new company.
 Altogether, conditions in the field are such that the prediction of oil in ninety days would seem to be well founded and in fact the fig ures would appear to be con servative as it is possible to accomplish this in less time.
