Report Unfavorable
 To ArizOna's Crops

PHOENIX. May 20.-In the south. ern and eastern dry land areas of Ari. zona, crop prospects continue to de. cline, but in the irrigated districts and in the northern counties, general crop conditions are favorable, accord ing to a report issued today by L. M Harrison, in charge of the local: of flee of the United States Bureau of Crop Estimates" ."aThe report Is based on conditions during the week end. ing tomorrow
 The improvement in the northern counties is attributed to recent rains which have improved range condi- tions. The report blames the decline in the southern and eastern sections on drought.
 The winter wheat harvest will be- gin inSa few weeks, the report said, with prospects for about three-fourths of normal crop.
 Pima cotton acreage in the state is placed at S0,000 acres, compared with 100000 acres year ago, the report showed. Alfalfa is being harvested in the central irrigated valleys but the yields are below the average and prices are unsatisfactory, Harrison re- ported. Fruit prospects were declar ed to be poor.

Ohio Knocks Out
 Marketing Plans
 Of Grain Growers

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 2o.-Grain marketing plans of the United States Grain Growers. Inc, adopted by the marketing committee of F appoint ed by the American Farm Bureau Federation, cannot operate in Ohio.
 Operation in this state was held to be in violation of the Ohio corpora. tion law, in letter written by Har- yey O. Smith, Ohio secretary of state to Clifford Thorne, general counsel of the American Farm Bureau Fed. eration.
 In his letter to Thorne, Secretary of State Smith said that a foreign corporation not for profit cannot qual ify under the laws of Ohio." And further that it Is objectionable for the reason that a domestic organiza- ton is not permitted to deal or own and buy stock of other organizations in this state, only as an incidental matter and not as a part of their principle purpose"
 Officers of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation met here today to discuss he situation.

First Then ,MeXicans Is
 New State Policy

PHOENIX, May 2O.-Before Mexi- cans again are imported to pick cot ton in Arizona, Americans will be giv- en an opportunity to sign up with the cotton association as pickers, ac- cording to an announcement made to- day by P. R. Mines, state immigra- tion commissioner.
 shortly after his return from Nogales where he went with 25O Mexicans. who were being returned to Mexico. The Mexicans were taken to the bor- der in trucks, the trip being under the supervision of Milnes. The eX- penses. however. were paid from an Mexican government. An extensive advertising campaign will be waged by Mines in his ef- fort to inform every man in the state who is out of employment of the op- portunity to pick cotton, the un- nouncement said. The advertisements will appear in newspapers and also on placards to, be posted over the state, he said.
 "It will be impossible to estimate the number of laborers that 1t will be necessary to bring across the bor- der this year for some time" Mines said. We will be better able to de- termine this after we have started our advertising campaign. Last year H.. 900 Mexicans were in the state under contract, but only 1,5O0 of these re. main in Arizona"
 The commissioner said that nearly all of the Mexicans now in the state were employed and would not be re. turned to Mexico at present. He said they probably would remain in Ari- zona for the next cotton picking pc. riod.

War Time Excise Taxes May Be
 Repealed

WASHINGTON, May 20. - Re- peal of all war time excise and special taxes as unequal and un- necessary" was advocated before the senate finance committee to- day by Meyer D. Rothschild, of New York, on behalf of the jewel ry industry To make good the losses of repealed taxes, Roths- child urged adoption of a general sales tax of one per cent, which, he estimated, would produce ap- proximately $3,OOO,O00,OO6 annual ly.
 Rothschild vigorously urged elimination of any differentiation between businesses as essential or non-essential.
 Amendment of the constitution to prohibit further issue of tax free securities was urged by Jul ian Harris, of Detroit. represent ing the investment bankers. Ex- emption of state and local secur- lties from federal taxation was jointly responsible with inequali- ties iii the, tax law. for much of the present business stagnation. he said.

 NAT|nNS WHERE. BOOZE IS SOLD.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 20.- Provisions condemning modern danc- ing and the teaching of dancing in public schools; the use or manufac- ture of cigarettes and all forms of gambling were included in resolutions adopted today by the delegates to the 2Sth general conference of the United Brethren church., The clause refer ring to cigarettes included a declara- ton providing that the church as d body consecrate itself to the work of bringing about absolute prohibition of the sale, use and manufacture of them in the United States.
 Another resolution recommended that the conference reaffirm it's un- compromising position in the sacerd observance of the Sabbath.
 The conference adopted a resolu- tion providing that all conference su- perintendents and acting bishops shall reside in homes furnished by the church, and deeds and titles to the property to be held by the board of trustees.
 Congress was urged to see that the Volstead act is strictly enforced and the withdrawal of the United States flag and representative from any na- sale of intoxicants was suggested as q Tmeans of bringing about worldwide prohibition.
