EXTRA SESSION
VERY PROBABLE

The possibilities of an extra session
of the legislature loomed up as the
contests centering around the ratifi-
cation Of the Colorado river compact
and the passage of the general appro-
priation bill made it doubtful if an
agreement could be reached on either
question before the end of the regu-
lar 60-day term.
The senate bill for the ratification
of the compact, with the power roy
atty Interpretation, was brought into
the house Wednesday and continued
until Thursday for its second reading.
Under this arrangement, suspension
of rules would be required to pass the
bill before Thursday night.
The advocates of unqualified ratifi-
cation of the bill were predicting that
they had sufficient votes to block the
passage of the bill as it was brought
from the senate, leaving the question
of the ratification to a future session.
While the senate rules committee
was fixing the slate for the passage
or postponement of scores of bills not
yet acted upon, the house continued
the consideration in the comitmtee of
the whole of the appropriation meas
ure. 1t is not believed that the
measure will be ready to go to the
senate before tomorrow morning.
The most important action in con-
nection with the appropriation bill
was the adoption of the amendment
raising the state per capita school tax
from $25 to $50.
This was done over the protests of
representatives of mining counties,
principally of Mohave and Yavapai
counties, who declared that their
counties were penalized and made to
support the schools of poorer counties
by paying in more than they got out
in the way of education, while the
counties of large school population,
such as Maricopa, received more than
they put in.
The house passed house bill No. 1872,

Carl Mayhem at Rotary luncheon
the other day told Ed one. They were
sitting quite a ways apart, and Carl
had to talk loud. Probably that was
the reason Ed gave him such an ugly
look; he didn't want anyone else to
get in on it. Carl said fellow was
riding down the street in Ford and
had one foot hanging out over the
edge and someone yelled and told him
he'd lost one of his roller skates.

Sunday night, mighty tired bunch
of basketeers were happy to be back

While the Lumberjacks did not
bring back any trophies or loving cups
to add to their treasures, they brought
home a great deal of well-earned
prestige from the officials who judg-
ed the games in the Junior College
basketball tournament in Phoenix, last
Friday and Saturday.
Lynn Camp, our star forward, who
needs no introduction to Flagstaff fol-
lowers OF the hoop game, was selected
on the All-State second team. While
Tempe Normal copped three honors,
1t was the unanimous opinion of the
judges that the Lumberjacks were sec
Ond in choice, for our boys, in spite
of the bad breaks and difficulties en-
countered, displayed brand of basket
ball that was a spectacle to behold.
Friday evening they bowed to Phoe-

FOREST SERVICE HEADS
DISCUSS STOCK PROBLEMS

PHOENIX.-Discussio of vital
Importance to the development of the
cattle industry of the state occupied
the time of the delegates and mem
bers attending during the early part
of today's session of the Arizona Cat
tie Growers associations sixteenth
annual convention, being held in this
city.
Among those who addressed the
meeting were DR.. Floyd H. Marvin,
president of the University of Ari-
zona; w. S. Mitchell of Maria, Texas;
Vernon Vaughn of the state land
commission; e. G. Miller, supervisor
of the Coconino national forest, and
C. B. Laird, chairman of the advisory
board of the national forests.
While all the discussions were
along lines of interest to the cattle
men, possibly the addresses dealing
with the most important topics were
those made by E. G. Miller and c. B.
Laird. These speakers explained the
grazing program of the United States
forest department, and the needs OF
the forest permittees. This subject
is of double interest because of the
fact that there is conference being
held this week between officials of
the forest service and representative
cattlemen in Ogden, where the prob
lens arising from the grazing on nat
ional forest lands will be discussed
and their solution attempted.
The afternoon session consisted of
election of officers, committee reports,
appointment of standing committee
and other routine business.
The Woman's auxiliary held their
annual luncheon in the Blue Room of
guests of Mrs. Dwight B. Heard at a
tea given at the country club in the
afternoon.
Business having been completed the
cattlemen and their wives are to be
the guests of the chamber of COM
merce at a ball to be given at the
state armory tonight.
The outstanding feature of the first
session of the convention held yes
terday was the unanimous and en-
phatic passage of the resolution en-
dorsing the ratification of the Colo
RADIO river pact. Every delegate lean
ed eagerly forward in his seat when
Secretary H. M. Rice began to read
the resolution as if fearful that he
would not hear every word.
The resolution in effect stated that
the cattlemen we're in favor of the
passage of the pact without reserva-
tions or notifications" and when the
question was put by A. G. Webb, who
was president, not dissenting voice
was heard.
Another resolution passed that is Of
vast Importance to the cattle industry
of the state was made in the form of
request to the legislature that all
cattle killed by the railroads of the
state and mutiliated to such a degree
that their ownership cannot be as
certained, will be paid for by the rail-
road to the Livestock Sanitary board,
and the money used for the benefit
of the industry.
The legislature was also requested
to make provision for adequate funds
for the carrying on of the work of
both the Livestock Sanitary board
and the biological survey, as the res
olutions declared that both were of
utmost Importance to the state. All
resolutions received the unanimous ap-
proval of the convention.

The concert, which was to have been
given Saturday evening, was Dostpon-

of improper train connections. 1t
proved to be very interesting and
some exceptionally good numbers fill
ed the program.
Mr.. McMullen returned from his
eastern trip on Saturday, spent Sun
day clearing up work that had ac-
cumulated during his absence, and
left Sunday night for Phoenix to at

ture.

advantages of the school nurse.

their creative power and are set of
teachers attending teachers insti-
tute. The business of the meeting
will be taken care of under the guild
ance of a round-table discussion.

and dancing in the corridors were the
chief diversions.
The luncheon served by the normal
cooking class in the domestic science
department last Friday, was reserved

Tom Pulliam says with so MANY
marriages as we had here last week
the lawyers ought to be happy. as it
lays the foundation for so MANY div
orces. Tom says he never knew it
to fail, the more marriages there are
the more divorces.
When Tom was county recorder and
N. G. Layton was county Judge, the
latter used to perform most of the
marriage ceremonies here and usually
Tom was witness. He says Judge
Layton never turned down an invita-
ton to kiss the bride, while Judge
Perkins, later, used to try to get out
Of it.
Tom says Judge Layton one time
married a man and woman who came
up from Winslow to get the job done.
Then the man wanted to know what
the tax was. The judge said he'd be
willing to leave it to him. So the
man turned to his new wife and ask
ed: Glow much do you think it is
worth to me to get you?"
"Well, if it amt worth $40 it amt
worth a cent" she declared. And the
judge got the twenty, which was a
pretty high fee iii those day, when it
didn't cost so much to live and money
to live on was darned sight scarcer.

products and the lack of training on
The part Of our people for taking
care Of dafrycattle.
The building up of good pastures
cannst be accomplished in single
season, nor in single year. 1t is
a thing that comes about slowly,
for in order - produss the best pas
lures we must successfully grow a
number of different plants. many of
which must grow gradually to the
point Of doing their best on soils
to which they are newly introduced.
This is particularly true Of legumn-
ious pasture plants, such as the
clovers, vetches, ETC., and is even
true with many of the grasses. Por
fifty years to my knowledge the
people around Starkville have been
improving their pastures. At least
this many years ago Col. W. B.
Montgomery Of Starkville, introduced
Jersey cattle to that territory and
begun to search the world for plants
suitable to the production of good
pasturesfor these cattle. Col. Mont
gamety was highly educated man,
: graduate Of Princeton University,
. man of wide information and great
influence and he spared no pains to
introduce every grass and clover
that his wide reading would Md hin,
to beiee might succeed. yet In
very reesst years plants have been
introduced. into the Starkville terri
tory that are revolutionizing their
pastures. This to show that even
now we may have fair pasture
plants for Pearl River County,
there is no telling what the future
may have instore for US in the way
of still better plants.
There is an old saying that the
proper educatie nofa child must be-
gan at least as far bck its grind
prents, and if true this certainly
applies to the eduction of people in
thed airy business. It is extremely
difficult for people unaccustomed to
handling dairy cattle and dairy pro-
ducts to compete with those who
have had such training, yet the peo-
pie Of Pearl River County have a
might come here from dairy Sec
tions, in that we know our own soils
and how best to handle them. II is
foolish TO think that the people
fromother sections can come into
this territory and know as we'll how
to handle these soils as do our owla
people who were born and reared
on them. In order to develop our
