which appears to be somewhat high
The wool growers of Arizona have
suffered under this discrimination fol-
years, and certainly are entitled tc
relief. The injustice is so manifest
that we trust this congress with its
great influence can bring US the re-
lief which we have so long expected
and which is our just due.
The question of marketing is very
complicated. The difficulties are sim
liar to those affecting other commod-
tiles, SO that whatever means may be
adopted to aid other industries will
have the same effect on the sheep in
dustry.
The bill before congress, known as
the truth -in-fabric" bill, though en-
dorsed and passed through several
readings by congress, has encounter
ed many obstacles and has not yet
become law. Several of the legisla-
lures of the middle west and western
states have passed strong resolutions
endorsing this bill.
Considerable discussion is taking
place in regard to the new stockyards
in Los Angeles. So far as the sheep
industry is concerned, the use of
these yards has not been sufficient to
form any opinion as to their value to
the industry. We are hoping, how
ever, that they will form conven-
lent and necessary market and event.
ually will be the medium through
which we can market large part of
our livestock.
AS in all other industries, there is
still much to learn so that the nec-
essary progress can be made in the
interest of profitable handling and
economic service We need to learn
more about grasses and all other feed;
we need more knowledge in regard to
suitable breeds and their adaptation to
our climate, so that our wool and our
mutton may be improved in quantity
and quality. To this end may | sug-
gest that the agricultural department
of the university of Arizona take in
terest in our problems and endeavor
to put into practical use the results
of its study of these matters An in
dustry of as much value to the state
as the sheep industry should be de-
veloped and fostered in every way.
Perhaps it may be of interest to
state that after the United States
sold it's last lot of wool that had been
taken over during the war period,
when the final balance was struck, it
received SO cents for each dollar ex-
pended for wool, this being by far
the highest salvage recovered from
any commodity handled by the gov
eminent.
We hear a great deal about the
Golden Rule, and it is advocated these
days as a solution for vexing prob
lens. Therefore let US recognize it
in order to help each other for the
good of all, and that when all-pro-
ducer, consumer, retailer, wholesaler
and manufacturer-sta together !
and are strong and prosperous, then
there will be more confidence, good |
will and prosperity throughout the
United States.

REVIEW OF ARIZONA
SHEEP INDUSTRY
(By A. A. JoHN.)

One year ago not very hopeful
feeling prevailed in the sheep indus
try. In a few words, the industry,
SO far as mutton and wool were con-
cerned, was about as nearly wrecked
as any industry could be and still. sur
vive. Reverses had come so suddenly,
and to such an extent, that nobody
realized just what had transpired,
and all engaged in the sheep business
were living by faith and not by sight,
There was no market for our prod
ucts and it appeared none to help.
This year we come to you with a
more cheerful report. Early in the
year, Unexpectedly, prices and condi-
tions began to improve, so that when
shearing commenced the wool buyers
were on the ground and offered prices
which, while not particularly high,
were so much better than we had ex-
pected that it put new life into the
industry. This, combined with the
steady increase in price for sheep and
lambs, has brought the industry prac-
tically back to normal conditions.
It is not necessary for me to state
the value of the sheep industry to the
SCdlCt 1OI YOU are ld1il1l1dI Will JflAos
1t is not so generally known that ow-
ing to range conditions, the use of
the ranges for other purposes, by
the gradual increase in population,
and unfavorable climatic conditions in
most of the western states, there has
been a steady decrease in the number
of sheep in those states, and this has
brought about somewhat indirectly the
more prosperous conditions in Ari-
zorla.
Suffice it to say that the wool clip
of Arizona this year brought an aver
age of about 40 cents pound, some
wool bringing 48 cents in Boston,
which was very satisfactory when we
consider the outlook a year ago. This
The Coconino sun., 1923-02-23

/ it had fallen While the permanent
tariff bill will not be of so much ben
/ eft, it no doubt will further help to
stabilize the business.
The tariff situation may be stated
! briefly as follows: A duty has been
placed upon secured wool of 81 cents
pound; on fresh mutton, 21a cents a
pound; on fresh lamb, cents a pound,
and on live sheep and goats, So per
head.
There are some things in regard to
the ranges of Arizona that should be
noted. Perhaps no part of the west
ern states is so well adapted to sheep
raising as some areas of this state.
While we have been very fortunate
that there has been no real conflict
of interest on Arizona ranges, yet it
is not always realized that portions
of Northern Arizona, and especially
the desert ranges, bring more salts
factory return, not only to the stock
man, but also to the valley farmer,
than any other branch of the livestock
industry.
To the end that better relations be
established and everybody benefited
thereby, there is no doubt but that
necessary legislation and forest SER
vice regulations should be put into eff
feet to enable sheep to pass from the
summer ranges located at the higher
elevations to the winter ranges locat-
ed in the desert regions, as time and
experience have both proven that
sheep can utilize both these ranges to
best advantage. To this may be add
ed the very large areas now forming
part of Indian and other reservations
peculiarly adapted for sheep but on
very large parts of which sheep are
excluded.
1t is also becoming apparent that
not only on the public ranges, but al
so on private ranges more judgment
should be used in grazing, to the end
that overgrazing may be avoided
and some means provided so that
stockmen in general may derive a con-
tinual benefit from the ranges. 1t is
possible and probable that national
legislation may make this possible.
Certainly some legislation should be
provided to make possible range inn
provement work on the public lands
that are now unappropriated. !
In Arizona since the days of state
hood and the passage of the public
land bill in 1915 we have been par
ticularly fortunate in the administra-
ton of our public lands.
During the past year considerable
progress has been made in considera-
ton of railroad rates, feeding in tran
sit privileges, and all matters relating
to the shipment and handling of wool
and sheep.
The feeding in transit privilege
which was abolished for some years
has been put into effect and some of
the provisions extended so that this
privilege applies not only to all points
in the Salt River Valley but to the
farming areas of the Colorado river.
Also a great reduction was obtained
in the rates from Northern Arizona
points to Southern Arizona points, so
that sheep now have practically one
way rate.
The present rates on carload lots of |
live sheep are about as follows: From /
Phoenix to Kansas City, a 36-foot car
costs S174.50. From Seligman and
Kingman to Kansas City, $182.50.
From points east of Ashfork on the
main line, same as from Phoenix.
the rate from Arizona points
to Los Angeles is $118.00 per car,

ADVERTISING AND CONSUMER
By ARTHUR HALLAM

AllSIIuCLOI III ADVERTISING, OkldHUHld
University.
Advertising has its economic JUS
tification in the fact that it reduces
the price of goods without reducing
the profit.
So much of every customers dollar
must go to pay the clerks.
The average clerk can do twice as
much business if the customers come
in the store to buy. Advertising
brings the customers into the store
and, therefore, fills up the amount of
wasted time on the part of the clerk.
The larger amount of business is
handled without increased payroll ex-
penses.
Say that a $40 week clerk sells
$500 worth of goods in week, $50
out of this $500 goes to pay his sal
ary or 10 per cent of the customers
dollar goes to the clerk. If all of the
clerks time was taken up in waiting
on trade, he could easily increase his
sales output to twice as much or to
$400 week. Then the clerk would
become 100 per cent efficient at the
same salary. Instead of 10 per cent

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
MARKET REPORT
February 10Th. 1929.

February 10Th, 1923.
Conditions similar to week ago,
when Chicago had the bulk of the
cattle and hogs at the five western
markets and lower prices were re-
ported today. Chicago had half the
$4,000 cattle and 134, ZOO hogs report
ed at the various western markets and
the break there spread to other mar
The decline in cattle was small. Some
kinds held steady. Hogs we're sharp
ly lower, and lambs steady with last
weeks close.
TOday's Receipts
Receipts today were $4,000 cattle,
$4,000 hogs, and 1000 sheep, compar-
ed with $4,000 cattle, $4,000 hogs, and
5000 sheep a year ago, and $4,000
cattle, 16,600 hogs, and 8,700 sheep a
year ago.
Beef Cattle
Trade in fat steers opened slowly
with bids Is to % cents lower. Later
when general trade was under way
prices ruled weak to Is cents under
last weeks high close, though higll
higher than the low point last week
Some choice yearlings sold at 1925,
and heavy steers up to $3.50. Most
of the fat steers brought $8.25 to
$8.75. Some common quality and
warmed up steers brought $6.75 to
$3.50. Cows and heifers and calves
were steady. Offerings in this line
were in smaller supply than usual,
with choice quality generally lacking.
Veal calves continued to sell readily.
Stockers and Feeders
Trade in thin cattle was fairly act
i've at strong prices. A good many
feeders sold at $7.75 to $8.40, and
good to choice stockers at $3.50 to So.
Palmer classes brought $5.75 up. De-
mand for steers suitable for a short
finish or suitable for summer grazing
was active.
Hogs Down
Hog prices slunped 20 to 35 cents
and reached new low position for
the year. Prices at all markets we're
sharply lower, and indications are the
runs late this week will be light and
cause a general rally in the market.
The top today was $7.95, bulk $7.70
to $3.50. Packing sows sold at $6.75
to 81, and pigs $3.50 to $7.85. Prices
are generally 35 to so cents under the
high point last week.
Sheep and Lambs
Sheep and lamb prices held steady,
with trade active. Most of the fat |
lambs sold at SLABS, ewes 81 to $500
and wethers So to SO. The big feed
ing sections are not marketing fat
ambs as freely as was expected, and |
current receipt are falling short of
Horses and Mules
Demand for horses and mules was
fairly active at steady prices. Re
,eipts were larger than a week ago
and indications are that volume of
.rade will be considerably larger than
asst week.

Of the customers dollar going to pay
him, only 5 per cent would be used.
The wise merchant passes this in
creased profit on to his customer in
the form of reduced prices on the
same quality of goods.
The more the price is reduced for
given quality, the more the con-
sumner is able to buy for his money.
Advertising acquaints the customer
with the product before he comes into
the store, so that he already has his
mind made up and can decide in ten
minutes to buy that which it will take
a person not acquainted with an article
one-half hour to decide to buy. There
fore, advertising makes it possible for
the clerk to wait on three times as
many people in given length of time.
Also if customer has faith in an
article (all advertised goods are guar
anteed) he will buy more.
Clerks, 100 per cent efficient, re-
duce the percentage of the customers
dollar that goes to pay them to its
minimum.
Again, the wise merchant passes
this increased profit on to his custom
er. The merchant is making the same
as before and the customer is saving
the 10 per cent.

STORAGE OF HORSES

Notwithstanding the production of
motor cars last year was the greatest
in the history of the motor industry,
and in some of our cities the horse is
getting to be rare object, the United
States department of agriculture is
authority for the statement that there
is a shortage of horses and mules in
comparison to the demand. It places
this shortage at 100000 head, and ad-
vises farmers if they can raise pure
blooded animals they can find ready
market for them.
