The following range and crop report was issued yesterday by Robert Q. Grant, in charge O. the Phoenix office of the United States Weather Bureau:
 Livestock and Ranges
 Nearly two inches of rain fell in the vicinity of Fort Bayard, N. M., during the week, replenishing the wa ter supply and refreshening vegeta- ton. Dry weather continues in the northwestern portion of that state where the range has become very dry and cattle poor. Photographic reports to the Weather Bureau indicate a total absence of precipitation in Arizona and as a result of continued dry wea ther pastures have become unusually dry and brittle. An observer who re- gently arrived from Lees Ferry on the Colorado, states that from that place to Flagstaff the range is in good condition and cattle are looking well.

 ''In the hope Of raising the S1,000 more needed this year, the Alumni Association has arranged for a series of five entertainments to be given in the high school auditorium by the Mid laud Lyceum Bureau. These programs will be of the best. But, to attain our goal. we must fill the auditorium for every number in the series. So the association asks that the Luncheon Club help out by encouraging Bisbee people to attend every number of the series of entertainments"
 It was apparent, from the applause that followed Wilson's talk, that mem bers of the club were heartily in sym pathy with the work of the Alumni Association and would willingly lend their support during the lyceum course Tickets for the course are now on sale.

 Since it's organization in 1912, said Wilson, the association has advanced $7,OOO to high school graduates who desired to attend various colleges or universities The association had $4,OOO in outstanding loans at present, he said.
 "The demands this year will total $1,000,' explained Wilson. "This amount will be loaned to local high school graduates who wish to study further, but cannot afford to do so.
