CAT LE.MEN ASK REMIT IF FOREST
 CHARGES

That the sulphur smoke issuing from the smelters at Clarkdale and Clemenceau has destroyed large proportion of the range grass and browse on national forest lands in the Verde valley, and that definite steps should be taken to put an end to this condition, was the substance of a resolution introduced by a group of Verde valley cattlemen at the annual meeting of the Yavapai Cattle Growers association, in ses- sion for several hours at the court house last night. The resolution provoked vigorous discussion, fol- lowing which it was unanimously and whole-heartedly adopted and written into the minutes of the meeting, at which it was declared that this condition is damaging the interests of the cattle growers, and in damaging them will eventually end in driving them out of busi- ness"
 The secretary of the association was instructed to enter a request with the secretary of agriculture of the United States for an immediate investigation of conditions alleged 10 have been caused by smoke dam age, and for the remission of graz ing fees charged for grazing on the damaged section of the Verde valley forest lands.
 Last nights meeting of cattlemen was vigorous in its protest against the damage they believe to have been caused to these lands by the smelter smoke, and outspoken in their demand to remove the cause of the damage. Robert Perkins, one of the group who presented the reso- lution, stated that between 70 and 50 cattlemen on both sides of the Verde are affected by the damage of the range, upon which they have had to depend for the feeding of cattle that they were unable to sell this year, due to the slump in the cattle market
 A discussion of the situation fol- lowed, in which it was brought out that previous action had been taken on smoke damage by the association and by the office of the Prescott national forest, which, it was claim ed. had SO far ended in nothing be- ing accomplished It was stated by

Claims
 All Records ofOurCensus
By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Valuablt records dating back to l790 when the first census of the United States was taken, were destroyed today in fire of undetermined origin at the department of commerce. The rec ords included figures from every census up to the present one and officials said 1t would be days be- fore even an estimate of the damage could be given.
 The fire originated in the base ment. Water from more than 20 lines Of hose completed the damage done to the records. Three firemen were overcome by smoke and taken to the hospital.
 Among them was Frank Newman, recipient of the 1920 bravery medal.
 According to T. J. Fitzgerald, chief clerk of the census bureau, records of the census of 1890 were kept stacked outside the vaults and these were totally destroyed. The 1920 records were kept on an upper floor and were undamaged. The records were used by the war de- partinent for draft data, by the in ternal revenue bureau, by the treas ury department and often were con suited in citizenship rights matters.

Wales, Prescott forest super visor. that officials from forest serv- ice district headquarters at Albuquer- que had gone over the ground in question, and had made representa- tions to Washington, which are still being followed up, he said. He said that the lack of sufficient funds handicapped the forest service in any action it might take in the mat ter, but stated that Albuquerque would send representatives here again in the spring, to go over the Verde valley grazing lands and check the damage alleged to have been done.
 50 far as I know" Wales said, mo smoke expert has been sent over the ground by the forest service It was stated by L. L. Bate, how ever, that he had gone over the ground in company with Prof. |. N. George of the Prescott Farms school, an admitted agricultural eX- pert, who, he said, gave it as his opinion that the smelter smoke had caused damage not only to the graz irg lands but to farm lands as well.
 President Harry Knight of the cattle growers association said: "There is no question in the world but what these boys are being dam aged, and if they are being damaged they are being put out of business. No outsider can go into the valley and tell whether this or that bush was green or dead last year, but these men who have lived in the valley and know it, can. The dam age may be only a little each year, but in time it will be enough to destroy the range"
 That these speakers merely ex- pressed the concensus of opinion of the meeting was evident from the attitude of the membership, which adopted the resolution with only one minor change, elected Robert Perk- ins, one of the Verde valley mem bers, who presented the resolution. to the executive committee for 1921 and instructed the advisory board to appoint a sub-advisory board for the Verde valley ,as well as for other sections oi the Prescott forest grazed by their cattle. Following is the text of the resolution:

YEARS WHEAT CROP
LARGER THAN BEFORE

Washington, June 9.-The coun-
try's combined winter and spring
wheat crop promises to- be 43,000,-
900 bushels larger than last years,
based on forecasts Of production
announced today by the department
of agriculture. There will be small
er crops Of oats, barley and hay than
were harvested last year, while the
apple crop will not be half 50 large
as that Of 1920 and the peach crop
will be much smaller than last year.
Winter wheat, which a month ago
promised a crop Of 629,000,000
bushels, came through May in bad
shape in some of the important pro-
ducing states and as result the
forecast of production showed a re-
duction of 100000 bushels
bringing the total to the same
quantity as produced last year. Kan
sa's, premier wheat state, reported a
decline in the condition Of the crop
from "a per cent of a normal on
May 1 to 90 on June +, which re-
suited in a reduction i'm that states
forecast by 93,OoO,ooo bushels. In
Nebraska the condition dropped
from 90 to IS and in Oklahoma from
"a to 10. ...'.
The Nspring wheat crop forecast
irdicates 43,Ooo,OOO bushels more
than last years crop. The condition
of the croA is better than q year
ago, while Ae acreage is somewhat
smaller than last years. .
An acre yield of 1879 bushels is
forecast compared with 1913 bush
els last year. .. r.
