MAXWELL SEES PERIL
 IN BOULDER PROJECT

SANTA FEE, x. M.. Nov. I5.-George II. Maxwell. executive director of the National Reclamation association at Washinton. D. C., who is here as an observer. studying the work of the Colorado river commission finds in the plans of American spectators a sinister design" to annex the Cobra do river to Mexico. and. through col onization of million acres of fertile land in the southern republic, lay the foundation for an Asiatic menace which will be infinitely worse han the great floods which annually ter rorize Arizona and California.
 The plan 10 construct great pow er plant in Boulder canyon" he said. lis subtly conceived scheme of Am erican speculators, interested in the gigantic agricultural industry in Mex leo, to make impossible the use of water for the irrigation of more than 100000 acres in Arizona and Cali fcrnia while water for the irrigation of much greater area will be made available for Mexico.
 Labor for the cultivation of this vast area will be recruited from Chi na and Japan. thus forcing American industries and American labor into cut-throat competition with the cheap labor of Asia. The importation and use of such cheap foreign labor would constitute an agricultural can cer on the American continent"
 Instead of building the Boulder can. yon dam, Mr. Maxwell would use the Dayton Miami river flood control plan on thes Gila river. building the Sen. tinei reservoir without delay, as an emergency flood protection; build the Bulls head dam as similar flood control structure; construct the Glen canyon dam solely for flood protec. ton. leaving out of consideration all thought of reclamation or development Q! power.

ARIZONA CROP REPORT
 MONTH OF NOVEMBER

PHOENIX. Nov. l6.-According 10 report just issued by the Division of Crop and Live Stock Estimates. United States Department of Asricul- trre. the yield per acre of corn in A,izora is less than previously esti- mated. Continued dry weather and early frosts are the factors in the change
 Approximately 2o per cent of Ari- zcna's acreage Of corn this season will be husked for grain: 79 per cent will be used in siIos. and per cent will be cut for forage. Due to con- ti,;ued cold weather. il is expected that the above figures will show a marked revision by the close of the season The per con: ;a s;ios vii, probably be lowered, and the per cent used as forage will be raise,.
 Growth Of grain sorghums was checked iy the cold wave early in the month md harvest is now we'll under way. Much Of the grain sor- sbum is being cut with the stalks en- tire. instead of heading the usual way. It is probable that much of the crop in the southern valleys will be fed off. Pasture on stubble fields is new selling around s15J per head per month. Grain is shattering from the head when stalks are cut.
 Good examination is reported on small grain seed and the fields are in good growing condition. Some ear lv barley is being pastured in the dairy sections and much is being con- t,acted for, by sheep growers, for later use. The price of barley pas tare for sheep, ranges at from s20 to s?5 per acre. At this price sheep are turned in during December and re- moved in March.
 The average yield per acre. of white potatoes in Arizona, is report cd to be s5 bushels, and the quality SD per cent ot normal. A wide range or planting and a wet spring caused a very poor yield of early potatoes. Blight and dry growing season, somewhat lowered the production of late potatoes in the northern portion of the state. It is estimated that be- cause of early snow. only 50 per cent of the late crop has been dug. The quality of stored potatoes is very good. due to careful grading in the field at time of harvest.
 Sweet potatoes show an average yield of 15o bushels per acre. The

SANTA FEE. N. M.. Nov. l5.-De- parture of Armando Santa Cruz, en- sineer representing the Mexican gov ernment and several other members of state delegations who have attend cd the sessions of the Colorado river commission at Bishops Lodge, has given rise to the belief that the com r.ission either has passed crisis in the negotiations. or that members have protracted task ahead of them.

Members firmly and categoricalIy refused to Lake any statements regarding the progress of the negotiations toward un interstate compact tonight
