Eating Less Meat;
 Number of Animals Declines

Figures and charts on the meat in- dustry of the United States showing that the consumption of meat is de- creasing are given in an exhibit en- titled Livestock Statistics,'' by the United States Department of Agri- culture at the International Live stock Exposition at Chicago, Decem- Der 2 to 9.
 These statistics show that the Unit ed States, while still among the prime 1ple meat-eating nations of the world is undergoing a general decline both in per capita consumption of meat and in the number of food animals in proportion to the population. This situation is illustrated strikingly by a chart of the trend of human live stock population in the United States from 1850 to 1922. Among live stock the number of swine is most var fable, and sheep show the greatest general decline. The relative posi- ton of the curves in this chart at the present time indicate that the nation will probably experience increasing difficulty in supplying it's ever increas- ing population with sufficient meat products, and at the same time provid ing a surplus of these products for ex- port.
 The principal meat-eating nations of the world, in order of per capita consumption, are Argentina, Austral- ia, and New Zealand, with the United States fourth.

RED LAKE SCHOOL
 CLOSES FRIDAY

Friday marks the close of a very successful school year at Red Lake What has been accomplished at that school in industrial units can with little cost. be put in all rural schools with a good result, and should be giv- en more consideration in the city schools. The total cost of manual training and garden equipment was | under sixty dollars.
 The district plans to put in a score of small pens fit. by 12 fit. and ft- by fit. coops for chickens to work in connection with the school. The pull lets are to be gotten from good f1ocks each child to have a pen of four They are to feed and care for them, keeping record of all costs and pro duction. They are to prepare them for market. All costs are to be paid on 75 per cent basis until the books balance. Thus giving the best cor relative of arithmetic, language, Fly giene, economics, in fact all subjects can easily find it's interest in an en- terprise that puts a little Jingle" in the boys pocket or girls hand bag.
 
 of an interest giving pursuit, by which the pupil can get the funda- mental principles of citizenship and industry, is to the writer's view of greatest importance, and to that end no school board and most of all, no teacher should look aside. So long as a single thought on the teachers part goes into the waste heap, by which the pupil could have benefited so far has that teacher been over esti- mated. The old saying, "A person will never get more than he earns un- til he earns more than he gets'' is most applicable to school work.
 At any rate there is no reason why every school shouldn't have, or at least superintend gardens, sewing clubs, the need of which is no more felt in our community than it is in the cities. Boys and girls must be doing something and that something might just as we'll be of civic interest and joy to themselves.

LIVESTOCK AND RANGE REPORT

For Arizona and Western N M
 Light to heavy rainfall over central and northern stock ranges of Arizona and western New Mexico, accompan- jed by moderate temperatures, has resulted in marked improvement of. ranges and water supply Snow that covered the ground from previous storms was removed by the warm rain making all pastures on winter ranges available. There was an ob- sence of precipitation in the extreme south but with favorable temperature conditions pastures in that section showed improvement. Good to ex- cellent conditions are reported in the Douglas, Fort Apache, Pinedale and Williams sections, poor to fair con- d1tlons in the Prescott, Grand Can yon, Seligman, Pinto and Thatcher districts.
 Crop Progress in Arizona
 With daily temperatures averaging somewhat higher than six degrees above normal and accompanied by light, warm rains, the past week has been most propitious for agriculture. Winter grains and alfalfa have done especially well; the latter even where clipped less than month ago now stands above ones shoe tops Tho weather has been ideal for winter lettuce and to a large extent has off set the stunting effect of the cold November for the crop now appears to be near normal in point of deveI- opn1ent. Peas are blooming and large turnips of superior quality are plentiful. Both because they are well natured and in great demand navel oranges are virtually all gathered Due to a combination of the unusual season and heavy fertilization last winter, oranges are materially larger and somewhat coarser than usual. The grapefruit supply will be larger this season as result of a number of young groves coming into bearing. Picking of peas for shipment will be- gin in the Yuma section Monday and continue for two weeks; lettuce mak- good progress.
