SCARCITY IF DOCTORS
 IN LUMBER TOWN

Flagstaff physicians are so scarce that adequate attention is not being given influenza patients in outlying districts, according to a communica- tion received from Riordan, a lumber town near Flagstaff, by the state board of health. Two of the five Flagstaff doctors are out of the city and the remaining three do not make calls out of the city limits, according to the let ter received by the board.
 "This same thing occurred last year during the influenza epidemic, and there certainly should be something done to take care of these parties,' the letter adds. Too rapid growth in pop ulation is assigned by the board as a reason for the undesirable condition in Coconino county.

carry material and supplies to the dam, and should be paved or concreted so as to make it possible for all tour ists coming through Arizona to take this route, with it's wonderful Fish Creek hill it's adjacent cliff dwellings, Bloody Cave, miniature Grand Can yon and other points of historical in- terest.
 There is no question but what this will become one of the scenic routes of the world. It should extend from Roosevelt on the east to Mesa on the west, the road from Mesa to Phoenix having already been paved. Help may be secured from the Salt River Valley Water Users association, the state of Arizona. Maricopa county, and from the cities of Mesa, Tempe, Phoenix and Globe.
 Might Be Joint Memorial
 Tt is suggested that monument be placed at the dam. This might also be erected in joint honor to the first volunteer cavalry known as the Rough Riders, as well as to Colonel Roosevelt.
 Tt may be best to make this a sep arate work from that being carried on by the Roosevelt Memorial association. From a selfish standpoint, having in mind only those people who live in the Salt River valley, we will receive S100 we put into it.
 ''Hhe magazines throughout the United States would gladly publish articles on the Apache Trail, the Roosevelt dam and other points of in- terest illustrated with good pictures, as well as sketches of the Arizona members of the Rough Riders. The enterprise is thoroughly alive from a press agent standpoint
 How eminently proper it would be to erect a monument to this man at the exact point of his greatest achieve ment- Every man in Arizona should and would contribute gladly to the fund.
 This highway might properly be called the Roosevelt Apache Trail, since it was made by the Apaches and put on the map by Roosevelt"

THE FARMS AND THE RANGES
 Edited by Francis A. Chisholm County Agrcui tura Agent
THE FARMERS MUST PRE-
 PARE TO STORE GRAIN
Edited by

Bumper crop prospects are especial ly good in western states. Another cause for rejoicing on the part of the farmer is the highly improved labor situation. From nearly all districts come reports of adequate labor for harvesting the large crops with urgent demand for foodstuffs.
 A note of optimism adds to the joy of life for our greatest citizen, the American farmer. But it is only good common horse sense to look ahead and prepare for difficulties which may arise before the crop is marketed. The only visible cloud on the hori- zon is the transportation situation. The railroads are deplorably in need of equipment. Further, congestion, due largely to strikes, past and present, not only of railroad employees, but of longshoremen, truck drivers, etc., has tied up large quantities of cars. The car building companies of the country have on order for the rail- roads, 43,000 cars. Few of these will be delivered in time to help in the grain movement. There is a shortage of at least ,250,000 cars. {,
 Farmers must consider the tempor- ary storage of grain. Because of high cost of sacks and handling, the sack ing of grain is rapidly being done away with.
 Terminals, elevators, railroad equip- ment, etc., are equipped for bulk handling of grain. Progressive farm CTS, either already have or are now preparing to handle their grain in bulk.
 To aid the farmer in economically equipping himself with temporary bulk storage the bureau of markets of the U. S. government, has, after a detailed study of the farmers needs, prepared plans for temporary grain bin which may be built for various ca pacities.
 These grain bins are moveable and so simple of construction that any farmer with the ordinary tools on the farm can build one in day without skilled help. The material can be purchased at any retail lumber yard and can be paid for out of the saving on sacks of the first season.
 The U. S. government bureau of markets or the nearest lumber yard will furnish plans free of charge, show ing the construction of one of these bins. These cuts and accompanying explanations are so simple and explic it that it is not necessary for the build CT to be able to read blue print in order to construct his grain bin accord ing to government plans.

THE WOOL MARKET

Forty-four cents per pound for wool is again making the fifty cent dollar look like one hundred cents to farmers offered this price for wool delivered at central market points.
 J. R. Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, writes the extension director of Ari- zona, concerning the wool situation, as follows:
 "There is no reason to believe that the demoralized condition of the wool market is more than temporary, and we suggest that you immediately get this report to every county agent and county farm bureau and urge them to advise their members to avail them selves when necessary, of credit ex- tended through the federal reserve bank agreement and to pool their wool and hold it until the market becomes stabilized"

PREVENTING FIRES ON FARM

Experience has shown that fire pre- vention should be universally practic- ed. The farmer; however, should give special attention to the elimination of fire hazards and the adoption of pro- tective methods. This is true for sev- eral reasons. In the first place, his house, barn and outbuildings are usu- ally constructed of combustile mater ials; being more or less isolated they are subject to lightning strokes; kero- sene and gasoline are likely to be stored about the premises and used for light and power; he must fill his barn with hay, straw and feed which are subject to spontaneous combustion and last but not least, he is usually outside of the protection of fire department. Too often fire once started in farm building results in a total loss, while the owner stands sadly by with his family and his neighbors, and wishes that he had taken some of those pre- cautions which he had been consider ing.

RECORD TOBACCO AND RICE
 CROPS IS FORECAST

Forecasts of heavy harvests of the country's principal farm crops marked the July report of the department of agriculture. The prospective yield, in most instances, is larger than the av- craze production for the five years, 1914-1S, while tobacco and rice pro- duction promises to be the largest on record, tobacco with 112,000,000' pounds more than the previous larg- est crop, and rice with II ,000, 900 bush els morefhan ever produced. Compared with last years output, this years winter wheat, rye, corn, sweet potatoes, peach and hay crops give indications of being smaller. Larger crops than last year are fore cast for spring wheat, oats, barley, white potatoes, tobaccos, flax, rice and apples.
 The improvement was reflected in forecast of 28,000 ,000 bushels more in the combined winter and spring Sheat crop than estimated month ago; sew en million bushels more oats, eight million bushels more barley, and two. million bushels more rye.
 The spring wheat crop is larger than last years by S2,000, 900 bushels but the winter wheat crop is 114,OOO,- 900 bushels smaller, although it is or- ly 45,0O0000 less than the five year average production.
 Wheat of last years crop remaining on farms July l, was reported as 47,- 756 900 bushels, or more than five per cent of the crop. That, added to this years prospective production, makes available about 856, ,000, ,000 bushels of wheat which, according to officials, would be ample to meet domestic re- quirements and leave surplus for ex- port.
 The condition of the corn crop was reported not so good as a year ago, but the area planted shows an increase of 671 ,OO0 acres. Indications are the crop will be 8,000,0 bushels small CT than last years but 100000 bush- els larger than the five year average.
 Production of corn was forecast at 2,779 ,O0O, ,000 bushels and the area planted this year announced as 1O3,- GAS, ,000 acres.
 All wheat 8O9 10000 bushels. Corn, 2,779, 100000.
 Acreage corn, 103, ,648,0O0.
 Other forecasts are:
 Winter wheat, 518,000, ,000 bushels.
 Spring wheat, 291, ,090, ,000.
 Oats, ,322, ,0OO, 900.
 Barley, 193 100000. l, Rye, 82,000,O0O.

Having heard the report that Ari- zona is short on range and long on cattle, A. F.. Scott, of Lewellen, Neb., has advised Gov. Campbell that while Nebraska is short on cattle it can fur nish perfectly good grass to several thousand head.
 In Garden county, MT. Scott states there is plenty of water and the run of the range for cows with calves is at the rate of $1.50 month, board for the yearlings being placed at $1 month. The range is mostly on the railroad and is 300 miles from Omaha. For reference Scott gives the Bank of Lewellen.
 Dr. R. J. Flight, of the livestock sanitary board, declares there is plen- ty of range in Arizona for the cattle.
