The number of cattle on Arizona
ranges January is estimated by the
u. S. bureau OF agricultural ecofoftffcs
as 100000 head, practically the same
number as a year before, although
the aggregate estimated value de-
creased from $34,289,000 to $31, ,559,-
600.
Number of sheep in the state was
estimated as 1,155,000, also the same
as the previous year, but value in
creased to $8,200,O00 from $7,276,000.
It is estimated there are 10000
horses in Arizona, with a tentative
valuation of $8,060,000, and $1,000
swine, valued at around $542,000.
Number of dairy cattle is placed g..
$4,000, showing no change during the
year, normal increases being offset
by shipments of cows out Of the state.
Total shipments of cattle from Ari-
zona ranges to points outside the state
during the year amounted to 219,587
head, according to reports Of the state
livestock sanitary board. Yearling
steers predoninated, with calves next.
Cochise county was the heaviest ship
per, while more than half the cattle
shipped went to California.
The boards report also shows total
slaughterings of cattle in the state
during the year exceeded $4,000 head.
Banks Show Improvement
The general condition of Arizona
banks showed very definite improve
ment during 1928, it is shown in a re-
port of the state banking department

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
IMPROVE In ARIZONA

The first month of the new year
was not marked by any material
changes in general conditions in Ari-
zona, business on the whole being per
haps more quiet than in December, but
showing some gain over the preceding
year.
With the cotton season practically
over, the most interesting develop
ment in agriculture IS contained in
preliminary 1923 crop reports of the
department Of agriculture, showing
that of the 4S states Arizona ranked
first in average value per acre OF
wheat, hay, cotton, barley, sweet po-
tatoes and grain sorghums, and first
in average yield per acre Of hay, grain
sorghums, sweet potatoes and canta-
loupes, and second in wheat and cot
ton.
Range conditions are generally IA
vorable for livestock. except in the
northwestern part Of the state, and
stock on the whole is in good shape.
Preliminary department OF agricul--
ture estimates show 1,092,000 head OF
cattle and 1,155,O00 head of sheep on
Arizona ranges. Cattle shipments
during 1923 are reported at 10000
head to outside points, and slaughter
ings at $4,000 head.
The mining situation was practical
" unchanged, with copper quiet. The
states production for 1928 is estimat-
sed as 100000 pounds, valued at $780,
856, 900. Gold production is placed at
S5,772 900, and silver at 7,3l6,oo0
ounces, both metals showing marked
increases.
The condition Of Arizona banks
showed marked improvement during
1923. according to reports to the state
banking department. Bank transact
ions reported to the Arizona Indus
trial Congress in the aggregate were
rather lower than those for Decem-
Der. but rather higher than those for
January, 1923.
First In Average Yield of Crops
Arizona, although forty-second
state IN area Of cultivated land and
value of all crops, was one OF the lore
most states in average yield per acre
and value per acre of farm crops last
year. Preliminary 1923 crop reports
Of the United States department OF
agriculture, show that this state rank
ed first in average yield in three ma
Tor crops, second in two others and
third in another, in addition to being
| first in cantaloupes, and that it rank
ed first in average value per acre IN
all six.
Arizona also ranged first in produc-
tion per acre of cantaloupes, with 200
crates per acre, and was third in avy-
erage value per acre OF oats, with
$24.00.
The government reports give Ari-
IONA a total value of all crops for
1923 of $36, ,339 900, preliminary esti-
mate. against $27, ,833, 900 for 1922.
Total acreage Of Arizona crops in
1928 is tentatively placed at 579OOO
acres.
Livestock Conditions Favorable
Range conditions continued general
| lv favorable during January, with the
exception Of the northwestern part OF
the state, and cattle and sheep are re-
ported wintering in good shape. The
cattle market shows little change, al
though prices for fat stock have in
J creased slightly.

nature, they said, that he could not
have mooved foot after being struck,
and as the body was found so feet
from the American customs house,
which is situated 100 yards from the
line, it now seems probable that the
story Of his breaking away from the
guards who had placed him under ar
rest is untrue, officers say.
Although companions admitted that
Corporal Moore was on the Mexican
side of the line early in the evening,
all maintain that he was seen to come
back about II o'clock Monday night.
He was, absolutely sober at that time,

that he rccrossed into Naco, Sonora,
