ARIZONA CROPS IMPROVE
WITH RECENT RAINS

PHOENIX, Aug. 11-That Arizona
crop conditions improve during the
past month is shown by the federal
crop report just issued by the local
office OF the bureau of markets and
crop estimates. There is a marked jim
provement in the dry land areas
where the drought has been relieved
by excellent rains. Range pastures,
especially show a decided improve
ment, the condition having increased
2 5pOints since July /. The bulk of
the small grain crops was harvested
under favorable conditions. Yields of
barley and wheat were below the aver
age, but the total production was
larger than last year, due TO the D.
creased acreage.
The average yield Of winter wheat
is estimated at 81 bushels and the
total production at $4,000 bushels.
Last year the average yield was abou.
"a bushels and the total production
$4,000 Bushels. The low yields for
this year were due to poor prepare
tion Of seed bed, unseasonably warm
weather in April, late pasturing and
lack Of irrigation water in the upper
and middle ella valley. County esti-
mates of the acreage this year are as
follows: Maricopa, $4,000; Graham,
5000; Pinal, 1000; Coconino, 5000:
Pima, 1880; apache. 1900: Navajo
and Yuma each 1000; Yavapai. 500;
and the remainder Of the state 1900
acres For the United States, the
forecast August ! was for a combined
winter and spring wheat crop Of about
us million bushels, a decrease Of 81
million bushels since the forecast OF
July !. This would be % -pillinz BUSH

TAX RATE rs FIXED
AT sEvENTY-THREE CENTS

PHOENIX, Aug. 9.-The state rate
of taxation for the year will be %
cents on each 500 of valuation, and
the total valuation of property OF the
state for taabie purposes is $s3o.000.-
900. These were the findings Of the
state board Of equalization yester-
day. The tax levy last year was AS
cents and the valuation was sss4.o0o.-
0o0. Against the increast Of the lew
by about so per cent is set the de-
crease Of the valuation by $4,000 900,
or by about per cent. In order to
raise as much money on the old valua
ton as will be raised by the new rate
on the present valuation, levy Of a
little more than So cents On each SEQ
would be required. so that the increase
of the rate is not as great as expected.
The board was enabled by two Cir
cumstances to hold the new rate d,wn.

HAVEN
BACKS HIS MINE BILL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Hay
den bill changing the time for doing
assessment work on unpatented min
eral claims from the calendar 20 fiscal
year has passed the house and will
probably be acted upon by the senate
in the near future. The only way in
which this change could be brought
about was 10 extend the time in which
the assessment work for 1921 may he
performed from December 81, 1921,
TO July /. 1922 The bill was amended
to provide that the period within
which the work TO be done annually
on mining claims shall commence at
noon on July first instead of midnight
on June 80. When this measure was
under consideration by the house,
Congressman Hayden said:
Mr.. Speaker. the gentleman from
Nevada (Mr. Aren;z) was kind~nough
TO submit his amendment TO me in ad-
vance of offering i and am glad 10
accept it. The wisdom Of beginning
the year in which assessment work
must be done al noon instead o. mid
night will not be disputed By anyone
who is at all familiar with the location
Of mining claims. There have been
frequent disputes caused by two or
more men going upon the same piece
OF ground in the middle of the night.
often without seeing each other

be initiated when TIE sun is al meri-
dian height. which is the beauty and
glory OF the day, instead at that time
OF night
When churchyards yawn and
he'll itself breathes out contagion &c
this world.
AS TO the bill proper. the argu-
.ents in favor OF its enactment have
heen fully sc. forth IL the -epc-. by
the chairman OF the committee on
Mines and Mining CMr Rhodes and
by other gentlemen who have spoken
here today. The desirability Of chang
ing the time for doing annual assess
ment work on mineral claims from
the calendar year, beginning January
/, to the fiscal year, beginning July ],
has long been recognized and meets
with the approval of practically all
those engaged in prospecting and min
ing. AS typical Of many other state
merts in support OF this change, let
me quote from the Mining and Scien-
tific Press of San Francisco:
AS we have suggested before,
one excellent amendment of the
present statute would change per-
manently the fiscal date for per-
forming the annual assessment
work from January / TO July !.
Congressional action taken some
months ago extended for six
months, or until July /, 1921, the
final date for the completion Of
the work for 1920; accordingly,
it would be convenient to make
the suggested change at this
time
in this connection it should not be |
forgotten that section 2 Of the act to
SAFE daylight was not repealed and !
the United States stan
dard time for the zone in which a min
ing claim is located will govern, and
not the local or sun time In Arizona,
for example, where the standard time
is abou; 80 minutes ahead of the sun,
prospectors and claim owners will |
avoid difficulty by remembering this
fact at high noon on July l."
