ARIZONA CROP SUM- ! MARY FOR 1920

That Arizona farmers have suffer- ed a severe loss in the value of their 1920 crops, due to the sharp decline in prices of farm products, is shown by the year-end announcement of Ag- ricultural Stastician L.

Last season the crop was grown on 1O7,OO0,OO0 acres and pro- duced 29,O1O,0O0 pounds, valued at $20,307,000 This seasons crop was grown on approximately 5000 acres with an estimated production of about 52,6O1,000 pounds and valued on Dec. 1 at $17,475,350

is THE WORLD WAR OVER ?

Until we get proposals from
Germany which mean permanent
settlement, there can be no peace. :"
said Lloyd George of the British
Empire as preparations were being
inaugurated by the allied troops to
march into Germany for the pur-
pose of imposition of customs by
each allied countries on German i'm
ports as they might Ieem fit consist.
ent with the peace pact as agreed on
These penalties are occupation
of cities in the German industrial
area beyond the Rhine. with estab-
lishment of customs to be collected
under allied control. To a man
who does not comprehend the sit
uation. it looks like the great world
war is still going on.

POULTRY AND EGGS

Poultry raising and the produc-
ton of eggs is becoming profitable
industry. Where farmers produce
plenty of feed, they can always
meet their living expenses from
their hocks, and when the living
expenses increase, or the price of
eggs decreases, the farmer can pro-
vide the balance OF adjustment by
merely increasing the number of
his hens.
A representative of Armour & Co.
has given out a new method for
preserving eggs called oilin !"
This method is to dip eggs on a
belt conveyer in paraffine, which
closes the pores in their shells. This
permits them to be kept at higher
temperature than the regular 29.5
degrees for storage of eggs.
: 1t is not generally known that
the poultry and the egg crop for last
year aggregated $1,519 100000. or
one and one-half times the value
of the wheat crop; twice the cotton
or oat crops. five times the tobacco
crop and II times the wool crop.
Mississippi is the best state of
the TInion in which IN raiae poul.
try and produce eggs Pastures
for grazing the fiocks endure almost
the year round; bugs and worms
abound, which furnishes them
meat; the winters are mild, requir-
ing little housing, and few enemies
of poultry exist.
Why is it that more of our peo-
pie have not engaged in the poultry
and egg bushes

TAX ASSESSOR BUSY

Assessor H. L. Pickle is busy as
sessing the poll. personal property

ferring to the personal roll after it
has been compiled. if one desires
such information regarding the
fair sex.

We are prone to think of age as
an unlovely time-an undesirable
thing-but surely there are COM
pensations to him who has grown to
old age. Life has taught him
it's lessons and he is no longer as

Life has brought to him no burden
that be could not bear and he can
face it sincerely and fearlessly. He
has earned the right. by labor and
conflict. to do Just as he pleases
and to let the world fare on in its
follies and strife. its storms and
passions, its wars and worries. If
the stately surroundings-fine man.
