ASSURE FARMERS OF

 RAISING 1921 CROP

Pledges of cooperation to ranchers in sowing and harvesting their 1921 crops, election of officers and directors for the ensuing year and an expression of confidence in the future the sat- River valley were the eatures of the annual meeting of the Maricopa Coun- ty Real Estate board at the Adams hotel last evening.
 Officers elected last night were: Hal $. Prince, president; J. R. Loftus, vice president, and Clarence P. Woodbury, secretary. Woodbury was reelected without opposition. The eight direc- tors chosen were: Dwight E. Heard, J. $. Griffin, E. J. Bennitt. E. E. Lane, A. w. FIickinger, all of Phoenix, and C. O. Austin of Tempe, F. T. Pomeroy of Mesa and T. l.. Paul of Glendale.
 The board unanimously voted its support to the proposed bill for hcens- ing of real estate agents. This bill has for it's purpose the protection of the public, 1t was explained, and re- quires that each real estate dealer must pay an annual license of s25 to do business in this state, and each salesman take out an annual license costing S10. The bill will be intro duced at the coming session of the l legislature, it was said
 Conditions in the valley were dis cussed informally. It was the unani- nous expression of those present that credit extensions would be necessary 1 in hundreds of cases to carry the i rancher over for another harvest. This. | they agreed, was the wisest possible 1 course. Present conditions, the real tors declared, are not of long dura- | ton. It is now merely a question of financing the 1921 crop, which is rap idly being accomplished
 Bankers of Southern California are more impressed with our valley now 1 than ever before "declared T. R. Iof- tus. During the past few months many of the leading financial experts | of Los Angeles have been in Phoenix
 and valley points and they are going to finance the rancher," he declared.
 A market price of 50 cents the pound for cotton will bring 6,000, ,00l into the valley, F. w. Griffen declared so we are not in such a terrible financial condition. It won't take
 much of a market to fix the price at

Prairie dogs damage the live stock range of Yavapai county to the extent of over $700,O00 annually and the same is true in Coconino county. They have been invading territory in Mohave county at the rates of about 10000 acres per year and are coming further west each season. The present damage to Mohave county ranges amounts to about $70,000 annually and it is planned to completely extermi- nate the prairie dogs before they in wade further territory. gs.s.. ......

 This is the results of the work which was started two years ago at the re- quest of the stockmen of the state after complete survey had beer made to ascertain the annual loss te livestock and game by these animals
 This survey proved that the stockmen lost over $1,5O0, ,000 worth of livestock annually in Arizona from depredations by predatory animals. ,..... /,
 Stockmen are justly proud of the results that have been secured to date in reducing this loss and everyone re alizes what the elimination of over 5000 predatory animals means to the industry. Last summer an extensive poison campaign was carried on in the northern part of Yavapai county and the western part of Coconino county
 Thousands of animals were poisoned and the losses of sheep, goats and calves immediately ceased. Upon the completion of this one drive, Mr..

STUDY OF EARLY FOSSILS OF
 @ GREAT VALUE TO GEOLOGY

The fossil shells of the early inver- tebrates, or spineless creatures, are of great importance to geologists, for they indicate the geological period in which the rock beds containing them were formetS -in other words, the tge of the rock. Each fossiliferous rock bed contains characteristic forms or groups of forms that determine the period in which it was mud or sand. Former Director Powell, of the United States Geological Survey, once tersely explained to congressional committee the value of paleontology by saying that it is "the geologist's clock" by which he tells the, time in the worlds history when any rock bed was formed. Q: ,lyt S .E ,a :. l" The economic importance of palen- tology has been repeatedly shown in this country. In the early explolta- tion of anthracite coal thousands of dollars were fr,itlessly expended in New York in search of coal beds, until the New York geologists showed that the beds in that state could conttin no coal. The fossils in the New York rocks exploited are of Devonian age, whereas the fossils of the Pennsylva- mia anthracite coal beds belong to the Carboniferous, much later period. This discovery at once stopped a use less expenditure of money, s
 In times of doubt and perpiexity the geologist therefore turns to the pale. ontologist for light on the age and original order of the rock beds he is studying. The study of the animal and plant remains that are embedded in the rocks has thus become an im- portant part of geologic work, and al though the specialists who are en- gagged in this study are few, their work is of high importance.
