FARMERS TO RAISE MORE
CHICKENS AND COWS AND
DIVERSITY THEIR CROPS

Prospects for the year are very
promising" says County Farm Agent
Francis Chisholm. He goes on to
say that the farmers, this year, are
planning more stable agriculture by
raising varied crops instead of sin
gle one. This he considers to be abb
solutely necessary in this part of the
country.
Also many farmers are acquiring
dairy cows and hence viii have dairy
products for both home and market.
There is always a good demand for
this sort OF produce, and an exception
ally good one in Flagstaff. Mr.. Chis-
holm believes the small farm dairy to
be one of the biggest advancements
in agriculture that he can see. For
not alone does it save the farmer
money by giving him his fresh milk,
butter and cheese, but also it means
that he can send his surplus into town
to be sold.
1t has been discovered that corn
can be profitably grown and matured
at this altitude. This may be the rea-
son for the growing interest in dairy
ing here.
Another industry said Mr.. CHS
holm, "still in its infancy in this
county, with big future, is the rails
ing of poultry. There is good local
market for both chickens and eggs.
Williams has already formed a poul-
try association for grading and mar
keting eggs. 1t is composed of the
local farmers and is to function for
their mutual benefit. Here in Flag
staff the farmers are growing more
and more interested in this type OF
the game.
ARIZONA will never rate as hog
raising state because of the high price
of feed for hogs. And yet there are
some being raised in the county, al
though these are all for local con-
sumption.
Lettuce, which is really special
crop, is rapidly coming to the fore IN
Coconino county. Where last year
there were but seven acres in lettuce
there will be thirty-eight this year.
However, this crop is only adaptable
to special parts of the county and al
though it will be a leading industry
of the county, still it never will be
general one.
"Green manure crops such as rye,
field peas, alfalfa and sweet clover
are being successfully used to IN
crease the soil fertility"

BIG INCREASE IN THE
OUTPUT OF FORDS

Final production figures for 1923
just made public by the Ford Motor
Company, says Ed Babbitt, local Ford
dealer, show a total of 2,200,682 Ford
products for the year. Of this num-
Der 2,090,959 were Ford cars and
trucks, Fordson tractors 101 1898, and
1925 Lincoln cars.
Every branch of the Ford output
showed decided increase over 1922.
In the case of Ford cars and trucks
this amounted to 739,626 or an in
crease of more than so Per cent. Re-
flecting greater demand in both agri-
cultural and industrial fields, Fordson
tractor production rose from 68,985 in
1922 to 101, 1898 for the year just
ended.
In spite of the substantial increase
in output during the past year Ford
officials says it was impossible to
meet dealers requirements during the
spring and summer months when or
ders for $4,000 Ford cars and trucks
could not be filled. Reports now being
received indicate that the demand for
1924 will be even greater than during
1923.

#. L. Andrews, special representa-
tive Of the Ell Paso Herald arrived in
Flagstaff Wednesday morning, detail
ed by that publication to tell the
world what Flagstaff and the sur
rounding country is doing. It is Mr..
Anderson,s first visit to Flagstaff. Il
have heard great deal about Flag
staff during the past few years and
from just a superficial survey of a
few days am ready to say that not
half has been told me- In fact | was
astounded at the vast opportunities of
the place Combined with business OPP
portunities you people have the world
beat for climate and paradise for
tourists only partly explored. 1t
would be new world to them. There
is something new and extraordinary to
discover every day by visitors. 1t
isn't the old~cut and dried variety of
wonders in beaten paths, but a vast
country with something new every
day." declared Mr.. Anderson.

HURT UNDER HIS FORD

Bound for Riordan in searchaof a
job, man giving his name as J. M.
Barger, and driving a car with a Yav-
apai county license, was painfully,
though not seriously hurt when the
car, a Ford, shook itself out of the
road and on top of him last Sunday
evening. Deputy Sheriff G. Y. Camp
bell of Williams came to his rescue
and removed the car, taking Barger
back to the hospital at Williams
where he was pronounced to be not
seriously injured. Barger had been
asking for work about Williams and
was directed to Riordan. The roads
were rather slick because of the slight
snow and the car skidded and over
turned. The car was badly wrecked.

Sheep Fat, Range Dry

Reports from local sheepmen graz
ing their bands on the desert south
are that the old sheep are fat, with
lambing going on very successfully
and with every indication of 100 per
cent increase. Ranges have been good
but rains are badly needed. If they
come, the sheep should come north in
far better shape that before in years.
Shearing is well under way. Price for
wool seems to be just a little under
last year, some offers Of 80 cents be-
ing reported.

NORMAL ARTISTS HELP
ROTARY in KINCMAN

The members of the Kingman Ro-
tary club were given a distinct treat
at their last Wednesdays meeting
when President McMullen and the
other members of the faculty of the
Flagstaff Normal took charge of the
meeting and furnished a most ex-
cellent program.
Mr.. McMullen who is himself Ro-
tartan and a member of the Flagstaff
club was given the chairmanship and
in turn he called upon Prof. Ridgeiy,
Miss Dewey, Miss Whetsel and his
wife, Mrs. McMullen. Also Mr.. Nc
Mullen called upon John Brown, past
president of the Phoenix club, who
was present.
The meeting was one of the most
interesting that the Kingman Rotary
club has ever had, for Mr.. McMullen,
with the talent he had at his COM
mand, snapped things through in first
class shape.
Prof. Ridgely, one of the members
of the faculty who came, is very
talented violinist and we are told he
is even more clever on the French
horn. Prof. Ridgely teaches instru-
mental music and, in our humble opin-
ion, is man capable of holding down
similar position in much larger
school. He was gassed while serving
in the late World war and is in this
country principally to renew his
health.
Miss Dewey, another member of
the party, is teacher of vocal ex-
preston, and offered the public here
many clever selections. Miss Whetsel,
who teaches piano and vocal, was also
a member of the party and equally IN
teresting in her renditions on the pi-
ano. Both Miss Dewey and Miss
Whetsel are talented and the public
here appreciated their offerings.
Mrs. McMullen, who accompanied
Mr.. McMullen and the other members
of the party, is herself woman
of unusual ability in talking before
the public.
Mr.. McMullen impresses us as a
man who is not only an organizer but
out who has the ability to keep the
members of his organization doing
their very best.
The trip to Mohave county is but
one of several jaunts that are being
taken over the state.
: Tuesday night they had a concert
at the high school, appeared before
the members of the Kingman Rotary
club and also addressed the high
school children.
Mohave county people who had the
opportunity to hear these artists were
enlightened to the fact that in our
next county there is school the de-
partments of which are headed by
very talented people.

some Of the members who had been
missing previous meetings for some
time.

HARRY WADE OUT OF
HOSPITAL LAST WEEK

Harry Wade of Williams, who had
been in a hospital in Phoenix for a
few weeks mepding up from the bullet
wounds through his body and in his
left leg, inflicted on Christmas day
by Dink Smith of Williams, got home
again the last Of last week. He is
feeling fine again, though still suf-
fering pain and inconvenience from
the wound in his leg, which split the
main lower bone from knee to ankle.
The heavy cast was removed shortly
before he left the hospital, the plan
being to put on lighter one. But it
was found that the crack in the bone
is pretty wide and another heavy cast
was put on, to remain on for two
weeks or so to make sure that the
bone is thoroughly knit before light
er cast is relied on.

NOW GET MAD, YOU
WHO WENT ELSEWHERE
FOR WARMER WEATHER

'"The month of January just
past has been remarkable for
an unusual stretch Of fine
weather." says U. S. Weather
Observer George I. Herring
ton. "Only one storm occurred
during the month";" he said,
"and that produced half an
inch of snow only. Thirty
four-hundredths of an inch of
precipitation is credited to JAN
uary but thirty-hundredths of
this occurred before daylight
of the first in a storm begin
ming in December. There were
two cloudy days only, one day
that was party cloudy and
twenty-eight clear days. To-
tai snowfall was two and one
half inches. In spite of the
fact the weather was uni
forrnly fine and pleasant. The
average temperature for the
month was only 25 degrees,
which is nearly two degrees
below normal. The lowest
temperature recorded was IL
degrees below on the second
and the warmest was 35 de-
grees on the thirty-first."

IMPORTANT THAN THE

An effort IS being circulated by the
people of Cosnino to get a school
there. A petition was circulated, but
many refused to sign until the site
for the school house had been deter
mined. AS there would be no school
built there for a year, those who re-
fused to sign are merely preventing
the establishment of the school, The
plan was, if signatures to the petit
tion warranted, to establish the school
in temporary quarters.

SECRET FACTS ABOUT
MONTH OF FEBRUARY

February is a short month,
of course, but lots of things
have and can happen in Feb
ruary.
1t is said more engagements
to marry are made in Febru-
ary than in any other month.
What little boy or girl can tell
why this is so?
There will be five SUNS this
month.
The moon will get full on
the goth; then, because it costs
so much to get full, will be
down to its last quarter on the
9th.
Saturday, the second, was
ground hog day, or candlemas
day. The rascal saw his shaw
ow, all right, but we misdoubt
there being six weeks of bad
winter weather because of
that.
Abe Lincoln was born Feb
ruary IL, 1909; George Wash
) ington February %, 1892; the
Baltimore & Ohio r. X. was
! chartered February 27, 1927,
being the first railroad in the
u. S. to get a charter; the bat
: tleship Maine was sunk in Ha-
; vana harbor February Is, 1898.
; st. Valentines day comes
; next Thursday, the 14th. A
; few people, probably, will be
; born in Flagstaff this month;
; maybe some will get married,
, and likely a few will wish they
; hadn't.
