FOREIGN CROP
GROWTH SLOW
Cold Wet Spring Unfavorable
TO Seeding of Cereals
in Europe.

The cold wet spring is unfavorable to
the spring seeding of cereals in Western
Europe. Fall-sown wheat and rye are
making slow growth but are generally up
TO the. average except in France where
the condition is below average. The area
of winter wheat for l92l-22 is nearly
equal TO that of last year while that of
rye shows some increase in Poland where
the area sown is l0,940,OO0 acres COM
pared with 6.872,0OO for last year. Pros
poets for the spring crop in Russia are
more favorable than in recent years.
The condition Of the winter wheat crop
in Great Britain and Ireland is about
average but is commencing to show the
effects of the wet weather. Spring SOW
ings were several weeks later than usual
and due to the cold unfavorable spring
are below average. The lowest price of
wheat in Great Britain on April 8, 1922,
was $l,365 and the highest sl,O93.
Moisture conditions are reported as
good in Canada and a large acreage of
spring wheat is being sown. The au-
tumn-sown wheat crop has wintered well
and is making good growth.
Warm weather is needed in France
and Germany. The cold weather has been
unfavorable to growth in France and the
condition of winter wheat is below aver.
age. Excessive rains have rendered
spring seeding difficult but the work is
progressing actively where possible.
Reports from British India show that
the wheat crop continues favorable in
spite of the fact that there was some dam
age from rust and hot winds. The yield
greatly exceeds that Of last year.
Weather conditions are favorable in
Argentina for the preparation of the
soil and the sowing of the 1929 crop.
Beneficial rains have also occurred in
Australia and greatly facilitated plowing.

LONDON, May 29.-One of the --latest
inventions to get publicity, in London i:
the telephone milk testers
This instrument detects impurities in
oil, milk and water from the, earliest
stages of turning sour on down.
The instrument, will, its inventor de-
clares, also give notice Of gas escape,
in sewers, cellars and garages.
F. ]. Turquand, whose brain has per.
tccted the instrument, gave a demontsra-
iion in his office. He placed a tumbler
of milk on table near the instrument
and then retired with his audience to
another room and ielephoned to the test
ing machine. The receiver told him by
sound that the milk was good.
Next he reversed the process and
placed a glass of bad milk in contact
with the machine.
This time the detector made noises
which undoubtedly showed the milk to
be 'phony.'

FINAL ADJUDICATION OF
PRESTON WATER RIGHTS

The relative rights 10 the waters
of White river and its tributaries
were finally settled before Judge c.
j. MeFadden in the district court last
Monday, when Colonel James G..
Serugham appeared in support Of the
findings which he filed in the matter
and which was his last official act as
state engineer of Nevada. This peace
full and satisfactory settlement of the
important case is in line with the ex-
cellent record which characterized
the office of the state engineer under
the able guidance of the new COVER
nor-elect.
A slight error in the printed des-
scription of a piece of land owned by
the Adams McGill Company and ir-
rigated by the waters of Preston Big
springs was discovered and under an
order of the court corrected.
This finally closed the matter and
the governor-elect will prepare the
formal decree in accordance with the
findings. which will be signed by the
court, after which It will become a
matter Of record for all time TO come.

OTTO MEEK OF BAKER

flee showing that Otto Meek and Wi
mona Smith had been issued a license
and were later married October 2S
three years ago.
The proceedings during the prelim-
mary hearing were watched with the
closest interest and were enlivened
at times when court and counsel took
issue with each other and the judge
made sharp replies to statements
made by Meek's counsel.
During the second day Of the hear
ing a side issue was forcibly injected
when Adelia Anderson. a former cook
at Meek's ranch near Baker, attempt
ed to collect $50 which she alleged
the rancher owed her. In the lower
hall of the city building in Ogden she
made an attack upon Meek and when
his brother Glen stepped between

directed at Otto fell upon Glen, who
was led away by Attorneys Hender-

COLONEL SCRUGHAM,
PAYS ELY SHORT VISIT
Continued from Page one.)

Colonel Serugham pointed out that
Mexico is not guaranteed any rights
under which such development could
take place, and termed the so-called
threatening danger nothing more than
a myth. He further referred to the
enormous amount of silt which is
yearly carried down the Colorado river
and which would make the establish
ment of a port at its mouth impracti-
cable, if not wholly impossible.
The proposed Diamond creek project
in Arizona was also brought up by
those opposed to the pact, who claimed
that if the Boulder canyon project goes
through 1t will seriously interfere with
that proposed on Diamond creek and
in which Arizona is deeply interested.
This site is generally understood TO
be controlled by the Arizona copper
interests and from that strong infiu-
ence is being brought to bear against
the ratification of the pact by Arizona.
Colonel Scrugham is of the opinion
that the claims made by Governor
elect Hunt and his supporters in the
recent campaign are erroneous. but
they evidently had a telling effect.
Governor Campbell declined to ever
deny the statements, taking the posi-.
ton that to do so would tend only to
dignity them. and in his Judgment they
were unworthy of a reply. Governor.
elect Hunt was elected by a large ma
jority. and that fact Is taking as indi
eating in a Measure the wishes of the
people of Arizona and theoretically
committing the state against ratifica
ton.
when the matter is fully consid
cred" said Colonel Scrugham, ~ fee
quite sure that the people of Arizona
will see 1t in its true light and the pact
will be ratified. II they block this
great project for the development OF
of such a large area of the western
country such action may preclude them
from receiving any recognition from
the federal government for the Dia
mond creek project. They cannot hope
to profit by a destructive act of their
own or IN which may be based on
nothing stronger than political ex,
pediency.
after the pact is ratified and APP.
proved by congress an appropriation
of $40, 900 900 will be asked for the
purpose of controlling the fioodwaters
of the Colorado, which have been a
serious menace to the fertile valley In
the lower basin. This appropriation
will in all nroha hilftv no uaada with.
out delay because of the urgent and
Immediate need for control of the
f1oodwaters.
With that amount a dam 200 feet high
could be erected in Boulder canyon,
from which zoe, 900 electrical horse
power could be developed. This would
be more than Nevada could use for
many years
