THOUSANDS. OF CATTLE BEING
 SHIPPED OUT OF NEW MEXICO

Some 25,000 cattle row starving in New Mexico may be passed through Arizona to old Mexico, provided they are not unloaded in Arizona, but the quarantine will not be lifted as Ari- zona has only limited quantity of feed, according to members of the Arizona state livestock sanitary board.
 One member of the board has just returned from New Mexico where he said he found grazing conditions in bad shape, from Albuquerque south and that the same conditions prevail ed in West Texas. He said it would be possible for the New Mexico cat tlemen to ship cattle through Arizona to Naco or Nogales without unload ing, providing the railroads gave them fast schedules.
 Both he and MT. Mullen entertained ho hope of admitting any cattle to the Arizona ranges. Numerous requests, it was stated, have been received from individual owners in New Mexico to bring their cattle into Arizona. All these requests will receive the atten- tion of the board. No estimates were given as to the number of cattle in New Mexico needing feed at this time but it is understood the 25,0OO head scheduled for transportation to old

FLAGSTAFF POTATOES WIN
 FAVOR ALL OVER WEST

Flagstaff is shipping its potato crop. This crop amounts to about 250 carloads. We are informed Ari- zona will use the most of these po- tatoes, instead of letting the bulk of the crop leave the state as in years past.
 There never was a real excuse for Arizona at this time of year going out of the state for its potatoes. There are seasons of the year when Arizona cannot supply itself with po- tsttces and when it is necessary to go elsewhere, California, Oregon, Idaho, etc.
 The Flagstaff potato is a prize-win- ner, a preferred product wherever shipped and eaten. In the past a large part of the crop went east and to California, while California pota- toes came to Arizona. This was an inconsistent state of affairs, but nev- ertheless true.
 Flagstaff holds a good shipping po- sition on a transcontinental line, and perhaps it is easier to ship to Chica- go or San Francisco than to ship, over branch lines, to the mining camps and other Arizona towns. We do not know about this, in detail. However, Flagstaff potatoes, considered fore most among all good potatoes, have found their way in large quantities to markets remote from Arizona.
 The state has been waking up re- gently to the agricultural advantages of Arizona and slogan for months has been to use Arizona products when ever possible, and in preference to products from outside points. In the matter of Flagstaff potatoes the state is playing in great good luck, for the state is getting from Flagstaff po- tato held in the highest esteem in out side growing centers and markets from which potatoes have been ship ped to Phoenix and other Arizona towns.
 The days of bringing coal to New castle are passing away in Arizona. It was a matter of education. Peo- pie, in regard to some commodities, believed a better quality could be ob- tained from outside shipping points. Never was there a greater untruth, but this is always the penalty paid by new agricultural countries. Sooner or later the prophet finds honor in his own country.-Phoenix Gazette.

ARIZONA PEOPLE WILL
 USE ARIZONA POTATOES

The people of Arizona will use s greater proportion of Arizona grown potatoes this winter than ever before, 1t is indicated in reports received by the Arizona Industrial congress and the Arizona Farm Bureau Federation from representatives of the Coconino county growers who have just com pleted trip through the state pre- liminary to distributing the crop.
 Harvesting of the Coconino county crop of Flagstaff" potatoes will be- gin carry this month. There has been some damage from blight, but unof- ficial estimates based on late reports on condition and acreage are for a crop of about 100000 bushels. The grow CTS expect to ship more than 250 cars, according to recent advices. Ar engagements for handling them are now being made.
 Last month two men representing potato growers of the Flagstaff dis trict visited the larger cities of the state to "size up" market conditions before harvesting began. Both re- ported the dealers interviewed ready to cooperate in marketing the pota- toes and best of all, indications that there would be greater public de- mand for them than in past seasons.
 Wholesale and retail dealers are being urged by the Industrial Con- gess and Farm Bureau to feature the Arizona potatoes in preference to the shipped-in product, and the growers survey indicates the effort will be successful. Cooperation between dealers and growers last year in in- troducing Coconino potatoes to the consuming public was successful in creating greater demand, and this eff fort is expected to have good in- fuence again this year.
