planting in Arizona streams about
May Is. 1t is believed by Mr.. Willard
that the weather will be warm enough
at the hatchery about March to
properly handle the eggs.
Rainbow trout were chosen, Mr..
Willard said, because it is thought
these fish adapt themselves better to
the Arizona streams than do any other
variety of game fish. Rainbow trout,
he said, can live in warmer water than
the native speckled trout and for that
reason will populate many of the
streams in the state, where the native
trout do not live because the water is
not cold enough for them.

REVIEW OF CATTLE
MARKET FOR PAST YEAR

A review OF the cattle market for
the year By the u S. Department OF
agriculture, develops the fact that the
month just closed, December, was the
high time with best available builocEs
Going generally on Il slow market at
around $500 to $3.50. which is about
so cents higher than year ago during
the same month. There are two
factors in the cattle market which are
causing some concern to killers: First,
limited numbers OH hay feed generally
in the western states and second, the
fact that during practically the last
half of the current year offal and hide
values did not pay killing charges.
The past month has been a "fill-in"
proposition with concerns buying spar
ingly that were in the market and
those having cattle at their call
working slowly as replacement costs
were considered high. The high peaks
of the year were s10.25 for baby
beeves: $500 for four cars good hay
fed Montanas averaging 1142 lbs.,
generally $500. $3.50 for California
and Nevada hay feds. Quality in
offerings during the year were gen
orally lacking and Tor q great poftlon
of the summer months steers which
should have been put in feed-lots and
kept off the market were about all
that could be obtained by local killers.
The situation from now on promises to
be closely in the hands of producers
with slaughterers and packers on the
offensive. The COW and heifer situat-
ion seemingly has run the gauntlet of
and the only bright point
in the years business was that con-
number were old and ema-
ciated, thin and rundown cows which
probably would not have been calf
producers. At a good many markets
cows and heifers received were mostly
junk and trash and carried little
covering from a killers standpoint.

FARMING In 1924
: BY Henry C. Wallace, Secretary
; of Agriculture
!. 4 : ! +#* 80 = = = :

The industry, courage and faith
evidenced by the farmers of the na-
tion during the past three years are
slowly bringing their reward. I'M
provement in agricultural conditions
continues-not as rapidly as desired or
peeded, nor as rapidly as deserved,
but nevertheless it continues. The
promise of the year has been fulfilled.
So we come to the end of the third
year of postwar depression with a
feeling of greater confidence born of
better times already realized and with
justified hope of still further i'm
provement in 1924.
In general, the crops of 1923 were
good. Some sections in the cotton belt
and in the wheat belt suffered from
the ravages of weather and insect
pests, but the aggregate crop produc-
ton was equal to the average of the
five preceding years.
Considering money return we find
that the values of most crops are
greater than in 1922 The total value
of all crops is IL per cent greater.
The values of the wheat, rye, rice,
CluNGF SC6O, CiCItUClIy, pCbciA anu pNest
crops are below 1922; in the case of
wheat IL per cent below. The values
of all other important crops are
greater.
1t is difficult to measure the pro-
iuctive value of livestock during the
year, dependent as it is upon crops
marketed in that form. In general,
il has been prosperous year for
sheep growers, fairly good for dairy
men, less satisfactory for producers
Of hogs, and discouraging for growers
Of range cattle. Cattle feeders, how
ever, have done we'll on the whole.
There are discouraging conditions
still to be overcome. There is the
burden CT debt. There are heavy taxes
to be met. The cost of production
and of what the farmers buy remains

SOUTHERN SHEEP RANGE
MORE SCARCE EACH YEAR

Flagstaff sheepmen are wondering
what will be the outcome if lands that
they formerly grazed their sheep on
down south in winter keep on pass
ing into private. ownership. Time was
when there was southern desert land
to spare, more than could be grazed
over. But it is estimated, somewhere
between one-haf and four-fifths of
the desert land has passed under con-
troll OF some sort or other that makes
it no longer available for the sheep.
As it gets more scarce the rental
price advances Many Of the sheep
men are now renting privately owned
lands to afford enough range for their
bands, and the prices range from $50
to 800 a section. One Flagstaff Sheep
man is paying $500 this winter in
land rental.

territory especially are in sore straits
from conditions largely beyond their
control.
Experience gained during these
years of depression, however, togeth-
er with progress already made, war
rant hopeful attitude for the COM
irg year. Gradually crop acreage IS
being letter adjusted The domestic
market continues strong. The chill
,ircn keep coming, and that means
steadily increasing number cf mouths
to be fed. Those who stay by the
farm and do good farming can look
forward to better times as reward
for their years Of toll and hardships.
Those whose businesses depend direct
lg upon farm purchases can find de-
ciced encouragement in the growing
gross income of the farmer, for he will
buy as his income expands.
The year 1924 comes with the prom
ise of continued improvement in the
material prosperity Of the farmer, and
the farrner continues to be the ma
terial and spiritual backbone of the
nation.
