Three Of us were looking at dia-
mond rings at a jewelers. in a Euro
pean city where we were strangers.
We handled HEARINGS freely, the
clerk passing them to us quite care
lessly, apparntly.. As he went to re-
turn the case to the drawer he found
one ring missing. We all flushed
when he mentioned IL and looked
guilty enough, . especially who
wore cloak with wide sleeves
which might easily have ensnared
a ring from the counter.
We shook hands and cuffs not
knowing but that 1t might fall out,
and in imagination saw ourselves
led off to jail. and the fact cabled
to our home papers.
The situation was becoming tense
when a clerk at the next counter
asked what was the matter. and to
our great relief said that. the miss
ing ring had been sold earlier in
the day.
The clerks embarrassment was
then. more than equal to ours and
his apologies profuse. I have ever

CATTLE SITUATION
IMPROVING, SAYS =
STATE BOARD HEAD

With q number of big cattle ship
ments made during the month of No
vember and from 5000 to 5000 head
contracted for December shipments,
the cattle situation in Cochise county
is improving steadily, according to
Frank P. Moore, of Douglas, chair
man of the live stock sanitary board,
who was in Phoenix for board meet
ing.
Mr.. Moore said that while prices
were not normal, conditions point to-
ward normal in a short time. By
spring he believes, there will be no.
table advance in price. In recent sales
calves brought from $12 to SIS, while
steers sold from $40 to $25, Mr..
Moore reported.
johnson and Cook, of Wilcox,
among the leading cattlemen in the
state, bought in large numbers from
Huachuca as far east as Clifton" said
Mr.. Moore. "The cattle were not
bought for immediate sale but the
fact that such prominent cattle grow
ers have bought for the future is in
dication Of the faith of experts in the
industry. The cattle have been turned
loose on the company's range in the
lower San Pedro.
"More cause for optimism in Co.
chise county is based on the report
that the mines and smelters will re-
open the first of February. While
mine owners have not given out this
information neither have they denied
it," Mr.. Moore said.
The Coconino sun., 1921-12-23
POULTRY INDUSTRY IN
STATE INCREASING

Statistics taken from the 1920 CEN
sus credit Arizona as having 495,065
adult fowls as compared with 252,657
enumerated in 1910 census. This in
crease has boosted Arizona from 47th
in rank to 46th in rank, due to the fact
that Rhode Island has been surpassed
by both Wyoming and Arizona. Arr
IONA ranks second in the percentage
gain of poultry population during the
same time with gain of $500, be-
ing surpassed only by Montana with
an increase of 122.79o. In the matter
of poultry per capita, Arizona is listed
as LAT, wherein the average of the
United States is 3.4. This readily ex-
plains the number of cold storage
eggs shipped into Arizona from out
side the state, especially during the
fall and winter.
Taking the average of the United
States, 11,136,000, Arizona should
have 1,136,000 fowls. There is an OPP
portunity to increase poultry in the
state by GAL 900 and not increase the
egg production above what the popu-
lation will consume.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
MARKET REPORT

Trade in both cattle and hogs
opened slowly, and later became fair
ly active at steady prices. Eearly
bids on cattle were off 10 to Is cents.
Fat steers showed the plainest quail
ity Of the season. The bulk of the
steers brought $500 to $500. The
top price for hogs was $3.50, and bulk
of sales $3.50 to $6.70. Pigs sold at
$7.25. Sheep were steady, and lambs
weak to 25 cents lower.
Todays Receipts
Receipts today were 10000 cattle,
5000 hogs, and $4,000 sheep, COM
pared with $4,000 cattle, 5000 hogs,
and 5000 sheep a week ago, and 1900
cattle, 1915 hogs, 3,775 sheep a year
ago.
Beef Cattle
Practically no good choice fed
steers arrived today and most of the
offerings were warmed up from grass.
They brought SETS to $500, or the
lowest top price paid on the market
for some time past. The market av-
eraged close to steady, though trade
was not brisk. The Chicago mraket
was rs cents lower with receipts 49,
600. Butcher cattle were steady to
Is cents lower, mostly steady. Veal
calves and bulls were unchanged.
StOckers and Feeders
Trade in stockers and feeders was
fairly active at steady prices. All the
good to choice quality stockers sold
early. Receipts from the southwest
were smaller than for some time past.
Stock calves were light supply.
Hogs Steady
Hog prices averaged steady. Ship
ping demand was light, but packers
bought freely and cleared the pens be-
fore noon. The top price was $3.50,
and bulk $3.50 to $6.70. Pigs were
slightly higher top $7.25. Receipts
here continued below normal. The
heavy runs to Chicago are forcing
that market into a lower position.
Packers here today received 26 car
loads from up river markets.
Sheep and Lambs Lower
Close to 1000 Of the $4,000 reported
in the sheep division were Texas
sheep and lambs on through billing to
feed lots near Chicago. Lambs were
weak to rs cents lower, and sheep
steady. Lambs sold up to $500. Ma
tive ewes sold mostly at 1925 to $3.75.
Horses and Mules
Trade in horses and mules was
about in line with a week ago. The
Spanish government made additional
purchases Of horses and mules.

BETTER RURAL LIFE BY
SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION

As fitting ending to the farm and
home week session for January 10,
which will deal with problems of the
farm, home and community, three
reels Of moving pictures showing the
story of the Sargent school in Colo
RADIO will be shown. A. 0. Neal,
registrar of the University of Ari-
IONA and president OF the state teach
ers' association, who spent some time
in the department of the interior,
making a special study Of rural
schools and has visited the Sargent
school, gone on the bus route with
the children and worshipped with the
community at the school on Sunday,
will deliver a lecture in connection
with the pictures.
Other men of national importance
are being sought to take part in this
session. The story of cooperation
and what it has and can do for rural
communities is just reaching all parts
of Arizona and without doubt great
developments are in immediate store
for many communities. The agricul-
tural service realizing this, has de-
voted one entire session of the farm
and home week program, which will
be given at the University of Ari-
iona during the week of January 16
to Fl, to the topic of farm, home,
community.

FOREST SERVICE
TO TAKE NOTES FOR
GRAZING FEES

Announcement has been made by
the Arizona Cattle Growers associa-
ton of further relief that will be
granted in meritorious cases of those
users of the national forests who have
been unable to pay their grazing fees
on December list, the time limit here
tofore set by congressional legislation.
To many of the cattlemen of Arizona
who Craze their stock in the national
forests it has been impossible, in view
of their deplorable condition from
drought and lack of market, to pay
the fees which were first due last
April, and through the efforts of the
Cattlemen's association the time Of
payment was postponed twice, finally
to December LIST. The first of De-
cember found many of them with a
greater inability to meet their obli-
cation, and the association has been
endeavoring either to have the time
of payment again postponed or to
avoid the penalties regularly enacted
by reason of non-payment.
In telegraphic information just re-
ceived from senator Ashurst, it is
stated that senator Ashurst, repre-
sentative Hayden, governor Thomas
E. Campbell and Dwight B. Heard
had an extended interview with the
secretary of agriculture on this mat
ter, pointing out that many honest, in
dustrious cattlemen in Arizona,
through no fault of their own, were
not in position to pay these fees at
this time and unless the fees were ex-
tended, these men would be ruined.
Rather than enact further legisla-
ton in this matter the secretary of
agriculture has kindly issued instruc-
lions to the various forest supervisors,
directing them to accept promissory
notes from those permittees on the
forests who have been unable to pay
the grazing fees, in ALI cases where
the good faith of the permittee was
evident.
The Arizona Cattle Growers asso-
citation requests interested cattlemen
to make tender of their notes to the
forest supervisors, and failing to Sc
cure proper recognition, to take the
matter up with the associations Of
fees at Phoenix.

of noxious weeds found in any sample
was 277 per five grams, which is
about 40 of the ten noxious weeds
in the state; the three most commonly
found have been lambsquarter, Ber-
muda, and johnson grass.
