Now they are returning to in

Farmers Not Hoarding
Grain.

Washington, Fears that the far
mers would hold their wh at in an
endeavor ,.f TO force fictitious price
are wholly unfounded Accord
ing to report just issued by the
American Railway Association
grain and grain products are NOV
ing in greater volume than at any
time within the last three years.
For the dtst two weeks in July
approximately $1,000 more cars
loaded with grain products than in
corresponding period in either I9-
20 or 1919.

Last year the wheat income did
no. as ist the farmer as expected
because OF the high cost of pro-
ductIon. This year it IS different
As rule the farmer is making
fair profit at the prevailing price
and is either applying it to pay off
debts or to build up a bank balance
in event he is out of debt. The
wheat money is coming at very
propitious time for the livestock
industry as many country banks
are taking the money they receive
in payment of notes against the
grain grower and are promptly re-
investing it in loans to stock taisers
The ready money obtained from
wheat plus the funds that are "a
vailable from the $50, 900 600
pool just organized to assist the
livestock industry will enable cattle
raisers to weather the storm, bar
ring any unforeseen calsmities.

COcHlSE COUNT Y
ASSESSMENT DROPS

The assessed valuation Of Cochise
county for 1921 shows a drop of $751;
1OS.SsS over that OF 1920, according to
the figures in the abstract OF all coun-
ty property issued today by L. F.
Kuchenbecker. clerk of the board Of
supervisors. The drop in the assess
ed valuation is credited practically all
to the mines, which show a decrease
S29.63S.01I under last year. while
there was also a slight decrease in the
livestock industry Addition of the Don
Luis Concentrator and the Apache
Powder company plant and acid plant
at Douglas brings the loss in the roll
back to sIS.70S.Sss. as compared with
1920. This will increase the tax rate
for 1921. but just how much cannot be
determined until the supervisors meet
in August to approve the budget for
the fiscal year, although it is expected
the figure will not mount so high as
at first contemplated. The total val
uation this year is S15s.36s97l.
