CATTLE MUST BE
 MOVED OR WILL
 FACE STARVATION

It is of vital interest to the cattle men of Arizona to learn directly the severe state of drought conditions that our neighboring state of New Mexico finds itself.
 Today New Mexico is by far the hardest hit from lack of rains than any other western state. As result hundreds of thousands of cattle are facing starvation unless they can be moved to ample winter feed.
 New Mexico cattlemen and sheep men stocked their ranges beginning January 1, 1922 to S08c normal as that was the condition of ranges and water throughout the state at the be- ginning of this year The U. s. De- partment of Agriculture estimated there were some 1,13z,0OO cattle in the state and about 2,343,0OO sheep on an S08o normal range at the out start of the year 1922. Recent statistics of the U. s. De- partment of Agriculture Bureau of Agriculture Economies ;.low that on October 1st range and pasture con- ditions were 40fc of normal for the average of the whole state of New Mexico. ..
 This at once you realize is but one half of the SO% normal conditions at the beginning of this year. Apparent to all is the fact that 50fe of these 1,132, ,000 cattle and 50%of the 2,343,- 900 head of sheep are facing starva- tion. Many are being saved of course by shipping to ample feed grounds in other states. Some have already been lost by starvation. Many forced sales have been made ss tow as 5000 per head for cattle.
 2O,104 cattle were shipped to other states for pasture from New Mexico during the past month of September, 9,3O1 went to market in September, totaling 39, ,405 that left the state dur ing those thirty days. October ship ments undoubtedly will total far above the September shipments. During September of last year, 1921, total of 25,541 cattle were shipped from that state; of course most all of them to market. During the past nine months of this present year 2S2,971 cattle have been moved from New Mexico. As has above been stated 5O9e of the cattle in the state will
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-11-10

starve if not moved This 5Oes amounts to some 566,OOO head that need relief. As given, 2s2,971 have alHady been shipped during the past nine months meaning there are about 283,O00 cattle no wstaving to death. At an estimated value of 5000 per head New Mexico cattlemen are squarely in front of two million six hundred and sixty thousand dollar loss.
 Most of the state of Texas is far better off than our grief stricken sis- ter state of New Mexico. Yet the average condition of ranges and pas ture in the Lone Star state is 69% of normal. The sections bordering New Mexico are the most seriously affected. There cattle must also be moved or face annihilation.
 Provision has already been made in Fl Paso and nearby New Mexico country to move 100000 head of cat tie into the Chihuahua country of Mexico-and to date big portion of that immense shipment has already gone forward. # s>.
 All cattlemen in our own state of Arizona are deeply concerned in New Mexico from the present existing drought condition. The drought stricken area reaches into the North eastern portion of our own state. Sev- eral thousand acttle in the upper Nav ajo and Apache county sections must be moved to ample winter feed and water else patiently meet the inevi- table approach of starvation. The major portion of Arizona ranges are in good to excellent condition.
 The Arizona Cattle Growers Asso- citation is endeavoring to locate cat tlemen who can take care of an extva number of cattle during the coming winter. The Association is thus try ing earnestly to so assist drought stricken cattlemen of our own North eastern counties. Any reader of this column of bare facts who has avail able winter range should directly write to the Arizona Cattle Growers Association at Phoenix, Arizona and the relief you can lend will immed- lately be given to representatives in that stricken section of the state. You realize the enormous helping hand that can be extended to Arizona cattlemen who are vainly seeking feed to carry their cattle through-and we urge you to so aid and assist these neighbors in our own state and at once. Then we can tarn and give a lift to as many of the suffering New Mexico cattle as we can possibly care for.
 Write and tell exactly what you can do to help for time is short. ''' | Get in touch with the Ariozna Cattle Growers Association at Phoenix.A-

' "The survey stressed the fact that the relief afforded by the decreased taxation affects every person in the Arizona district who travels, pays freight, sends an express package, buys a Pullman berth, takes drink of soda water, or who has taxable income. In other words, the relief afforded reaches ALL CLASSES.
 Although the Arizona offices faces a tax xreduction of more than one mil lion dollars annually, Collector Stew art declared that the total collections

STATE PRISON FARM
PROVES A SUCCESS

South Warren, Oct. 10-One Of the
farms, operated by the State. which
has passed the experimental stage
and has demonstrated its worth. is
the 500-acre farm of the Maine State
Prison. The farm is located in this
place, just below the Georges River
station of the Maine Central. It's pur-
chase was advocated several years
ago by Frank J. Ham, then warden of
the prison. and his good judgment
was proven soon after its purchase.
Frank Page of Augusta, who was
brought here as superintendent, has
continued since, and the farm has
proved in every way a successful
venture under his management.
The work on this farm is done by
men from the prison, TRUSTEES, who
have shown to the authorities that
they will not try to escape, but will
Cbey the rules at all times. These
men do all the planting, cultivating
and harvesting. and care for the ami
mails, which include herd of so pure
bred Holsteins and Herefords.

school in Gorham, broke her leg just
above the ankle this morning when

Red Cross Secretary
Asks Restriction of
Local Activities


Washington, Oct. 10.-The Ameri-
can Red Cross was warned by its
secretary, Mable T. Boardman,
speaking at today's session of the
organizations annual convention.
against departure from the charter
purposes of relief WORK in emergcn-
cies.
Miss Boardman declared the Con-
gressional charter under which the
Red Cross operates, authorized il to
work for the relief of sufferers from
war and great disasters. She added
that a continuation and expansion of
local relief work, social service and
related lines of activity would render
the society liable to revocation Of its
charter and also to surrender Of the
property in Washington which it now
occupies by the grace of the Fed
eral government.
Continued demands by local chap
terS for funds to carry on local re-
lief work and local peace time ser
vices, Miss Boardman further told
the convention, would nullfy en-
deavors to raise funds in time of
great emergency such as the present
ones in the Near Fast.
Mrs. August Belmont Of New York
a member of the Central Committee,
who followed Miss Boardman, sup
ported the plea for restriction Of
local activities, but John Baton
Payne, chairman of the society, init
mated in later address, that he
was not wholly in accord with the
views of the secretary.
