ESTIMATE FOR COUNTRIES EX-.
CEPTING RUSSIA CUT 81,577, 900
BUSHELS.

Washington, Oct, IA decline in
the estimateof world wheat produc-
ton, excluding that of Russia and
Mexico for this year was announced
today by the department of agricul-
ture. The output was estimated at
3,012, $4,000 bushels, compared with
the previous estimate this year of
3,093, $4,000 bushels, and the revised
estimate for the same countries last
year of 3,049,074,000.
This years estimated yield with
stocks on hand indicated an available
supply of 3,192,037, 900 bushels, the
department advised, as compared with
3,273,588 900 last year. Production in
Russia sufficient for domestic needs
continued to be predicted while the

the revised estimate of 1,215, 084, 900
last year and 1,100,991, 900 previously
published for this year. The new es
innate shows considerable increase

from 1874, 893, 900 bushels to 80, 1885,
900, but an even greater ratio of de-
crease in France and Germany. The

F. A. JEFFERSON
BACK; IS STRONG
FOR s. R. VALLEY

Frank A. Jefferson, secretary Of
the Salt River Valley Realtors asso-
citation, with Mrs. jefferson. has re-
turned from Riverside. California,
where he was summoned nearly a
month ago because of the serious
illness of his father.
During the stay IN the coast Mrs.
Jefferson became quite seriously i'll
with heart disease. with whi she is
troubled. and the stay at Riverside
was prolonged until her condition
improved sufficiently to warrant the
return to Phoenix. Mrs. jefferson
again is enjoying her usual health
and the elder Mr.. Jefferson is well
on the road to recovery. Frank JEFF
ferson reported upon his return to
Phoenix.
Give me Phoenix every time" Mr..
Jefferson declared upon his return.
We've got everything that Southern
California has and a whole lot more,
in the way OF natural resources, but
the one thing We lack is the adver-
Using.
with the same national adver-
tising enjoyed by California. Phoenix
and the Salt River valley would be-
come the winter playground Of
America Mr.. Jefferson asserted.
We've got the highways, we've
got the scenery, we've got the homes
and the one big thing that this valley
has that California hasn't is the right
kind of climate" Mr.. Jefferson said.
Il spent q days at Riverside More
than 20 of those days were cloudy or
foggy. 1t rained much of the time.
There were only six clear days dur
ing the entire period of my stay on
the coast. Whv Arizona's climate is
worth a dozen California climates
"A national advertising campaign
is Arzona's greatest need at this
time Mr.. Jefferson asserted, IT
our resources could be painted in
natural colors throughout the east,
Phoenix wouldn't be able to hold the
visitors. The population here would
double almost overnight" he said

HOUSE MOVING AND
WRECK|NC COMPANY
IS ORGANIZED HERE

Recognizing the fact that as
Phoenix continues to grow, the older
homes must be removed to give place
to more modern buildings, the
Williams House Moving and Wreck
ing company was organized during
the later part of 1920 The firm was
under the management and control of
Jack H. Williams. well known con-
tractor and builder of this city Re-
Gently Mr. Williams obtained full
control of the organization, purchas-
ing the interest Of II. w. Chambers,
formerly one of the owners
The Williams Housemoving and
Wrecking company have the best and
newest equipment and yards In the
state, and Mr.. williams states that
it is his intention to add to the
equipment as the necessity arises so
that at all times he will be equipped
to move or wreck houses Of any size
with the maximum dispatch and in
perfect safety.
The firm has been in business for
something over IS months during
which time hundreds of houses have
been moved, some OF them being
large buildings. Up TO date the firm
has the record of not having one
accident either to buildings or per-
sons. This speaks well for those in
charge of the work as the house
moving business requires great care
and skill 10 avoid accidents and per-
sonal injury.
Up to date, one OF the largest
houses handled by this firm was a
12-room residence. After it was set
in its new location, it was noted that
the plastering had not cracked.
Every growing city has need OF a
firm OF this kind and the fore
thought of the Williams House Nov
ing and Wrecking company in select
ing the best equipment and the most
experienced men to do the work is to
be commended
