LIVESTOCK AND CROP REPORT.

Phoenix-An unusually light
abandonment of winter sown
wheat; small losses among live
stock during the year ending
April 30; and a favorable out
look for the hay crop. were the
outstanding features of the Ari
zona crop report issued by the
U. S. Crop Reporting Board as
of May 1st.
The 2 per cent abandonment
of winter wheat compares with
6 per cent reported lastyear and
leaves approximately $4,000 acres
to be harvested. The condition
of the growing crop was report
ed at 90 per cent of normal, from
which a total production of 796,
600 bushels is forecast for the
state. This does not include the
acreage devoted to spring wheat.
Hay-The average condition
of tame hay in Arizona May ],
was 90 per cent of normal and
forecasts a total of 623, 700 tons
as the probable seasons crop.
In most of the southern valleys
the harvest of the first cutting
of alfalfa has been completed
and the second cutting is being
made. Grain hays, particularly
barley, are shown in excellent
yields; in some instances averag
ing 8 1-2 tons per acre. Tn.
satisfactory prices are sending
an unusual amount of hay to the
storage sheds. Approximately
6 per cent of last years crop
was reported on FARMS" on
May l.
Condition of Livestock-The
conditions reported on Arizona
livestock May /, relate to all
kinds of farm animals, therefore
are not representative of range
animals alone. Condition figures
are given in groups of three and
relate to years in following or
der: 1924 1923 1922. Horses
ard mules of all ages, 96, 95, 90;
cattle of all ages, 95, 55, 93;sheep
Qambs not included) 90, 95, 95;
swine of all ages, 95, 81, 95.
,Ranges-That both cattle and
feed on Arizona ranges have i'm.
proved during the past thirty
days is evident from conditions
re eported on May /. 1924. Re-
ports were received from we'll
informed stockmen over the
state and figures given are repre-
sentative of the whole, though
not always applicable to restrict
ed areas where conditions may
be better or worse than shown.
For the state as a whole range
pasture was reported to have
been 96 per cent of normal, com
pared with SO per cent one
month and rs per cent one year
ago. Cattle were reported at
95 per cent of normal against
81 per cent on April /, this year,
and 70 per cent May !, last year,
which is 3 points higher than
the figure reported on the cor.
responding date last year.
Mortality of Livestock-Due
to favorable conditions the past
year, losses among livestock
have been relatively light.

Blood Money

Blood money" was term applied
In the Middle ages to the money paid
for bloodshed. 1t might be either the
compensation paid by manslayer to
the nearest relatives Of the victim, to
secure himself and his kin front ven
geance, or the money paid by man.
slayer for bringing about the death Of
another, directly or through evidence.
1t was once common among the
Scandinavian and Teutonic peoples,
who called this money payment wer-
gid, and the custom still IL practlced
In Arabia.
The price varied with the nature Of
the crime and the rank Of the victim.
Certain crimes. such as the Staying Of
a sleeping person, could not he COM
pensated by money payment; such
criminals were declared outlaws and
could be slain with Impunity.
The term 10 now applied to the re-
ward or bribe for giving up criminal
to justice.-Detroit NewA

Some curious observations made In

Of flowers in different months. The

types of flowers yellow, yellow with
red markings and claret-colored.
Sometimes one type predominated
and sometimes another. In the Off

Indian. of Amazon Valley

War is the normal state Of the
Jibaro Indian of the Amazon valley,
first, for the purpose of getting wives
from nelghboring or enemy tribes, Sec
ond. for revenge Of injuries inflicted
upon relatives during wars, then for
enemy heads that are supposed to
bring good luck to the possessors be-
cause of the sacrifice of the victim to
the devil. The heads of their enc
mics also become source of income
to these savage Amazonian tribes,
since they are exchanged with trad
ers for arms, ammunition, etc.
The skull is removed from the head
of the decapitated enemy through a
slit in the~back from the neck up.
The skin Is then boiled to arrest pu-
trefaction, after which 1t is dried and
reduced in size by inserting hot stones
the size Of an orange. When the in
terror has been shrunk to the size Of
the stones hot sand Is used to con-
tinue the process of drying and shrink
ing. After the process is completed,
the head is hung up in the hut as a
trophy and feasts are held In Its honor.
These miniature heads. retaining to
a remarkable degree characteristic
likeness to the living person, are in
demand In the outside world.-Detroit

and frescoed inches was one Of the
adornments of the city.
One entered through carriage pa

by bell. Across the threshold court
in white and gold between two rows
of pillars led to the spacious, sloping
terraces, watered by drowsy brook.
The twitter of a thousand birds COM
pleted the pastoral landscape.
Excavators have resurrected this
garden. The lawns are green again,
as they were when Vesuvius erupted,
A. d. 70. A sllvery bell again peals
for visitors; the murmuring brook
wanders in through new conduits, and

who were singing about Pompeii more
than 1890 years ago. carol as their
forbears did in the days made famous
by Bulwer-Lytton.

Workers of Lancashire
Prove the Best Spinners

It's common saying in the cotton
trade that Lancashire spins finer every
day. So the spinner must be given
some credit for the production Of
many of the beautiful fabrics which
are now made from cotton.
But fine spinning is useless without
good weaving, and here Lancashire is
ahead of all rivals. 1t has the finest
operatives in the world, with the In
herited skill Of their forefathers In
their fingers. Threads are Joined by
twist of the fingers, quicker than the
eye can see, and the utmost Is OBJ
talned from all the miraculous ma
chinery.
Cotton Is turned into velvet flt for a
queen under their skillful hands, and
gossamer fabrics, both stronger and
finer than silk, emerge from the clang-
ing looms. Every color of the rain
how is seen. and the studios Of Paris
give of their best in designs.
The cloth of Lancashire supplies
the fabric for motor tires. covers the
furniture, makes beds soft and COM
Portable, offers smart shirts that keep
their color forever, and provides
dainty frocks and lingerie for wives
and children.-London Mail.

only Indians In Iowa.
Some years ago the government
granted them tract OF land In Kansas
They-tried living on 1t, became dis
satisfied and returned to Iowa, where
they purchased their own land and
formed a colony.
The Meskwaki are a very primitive
tribe, but in the last ten years have
advanced to the stage where the brave
will go out and perform manual labor.
They figure quite largely in the> can
ming industry, and are to be seen go
Ing to work in automobiles that are
the envy Of the whites.
These Indians never were known to
send visitor away hungry. The av-
erage Meskwaki will walk mile and
visit two weeks at the home Of a
friend. Squaws Of the tribe are very
subservient and patient. !, and never
complain when hubby drags home a
raft Of company for dinner. Instead
they pour additional water in the soup
and perhaps roast another chicken or
two.
It is not an infrequent occurrence
for visitors to appear from out the
woods in every direction Just as
Meskwaki meal is being served, and If
there isn't enough to eat, Mrs. Indian
must prepare enough.-Detroit News.

Tact Makes an Honest
Employee of a Thief

A salesgirl in department store
was caught stealing. The superin-
tendent confronted her with the evi-
dence and asked her to sign a confes-
sion. After she had done 10, he sealed
the confession in an envelope and put
his own name on 1t.
"This goes into a strong box" he
said, land nobody but you and will
ever know about it-provided you do
what ask. First, want your promise
never to do 1t again and then I want
to know Just why you thought you
must have more money" She told her
story. There was sickness at home,
and her need for money was not be-
cause of mere craving for luxuries.
The superintendent sent her invalid
sister to a hospital at the stores ex-
pense.
That was nine years ago, and the
salesgirl Is today not only one Of the
stores valuable employees but one of
the most loyal. The little envelope
has been burned long ago.-Nation's

= Distance Of the Hyades cluster from
the earth u less than that Of the
Plsiades. estimates placing 1t between
150 and 200 light years from the earth.
writes Isabel NJ. Lewis Of the United
States Naval observatory In Nature
Magazine Of Washington. Aldabaran,
the brightest star, is not a true men,
Der Of the Hyades cluster. for It does
not share In the common motion Of
the other stars and is only about fifty
light years from the earth. Recent
discoveries concerning this star tell
much of its life and history. Al
dsbaran is comparatively young and
4 comparatively cool star with sur
face temperature Of about 5000 de-
grees centigrade, which Is low for a
star. It is on the up-scale of evolu-
ton, however, and so will gradually
increase In temperature and decrease
In size.
A1debaran IL one Of the giant stars
Of the universe, and it has been Judged
that it's diameter ia over 10000 900
miles and Its bulk more than 10000
times that Of our own sun.
In spite of Its great size, Aldebaran
contains comparatively little sub
Stance. We could, to be sure, make
more than 10000 suns from 1t Of the
size Of our own sun, but they would
be far lighter and less substantial
bodies than the sun.
Discovery Of dark nebulous regions
in the Hyades as well as in other parts
of the constellation Of Taurus has
been one of the achievements Of mod
ern astronomy and also the, more re-
cent discovery that nebulae are in gen

Says Engine Whistles
~ Need to Be lmproued

A whistle Is only a whistle, but even
whistle II susceptible to improve
ment. Locomotive whistles In particu-
lar are open to criticism, according to
Prof. Arthur L. Foley Of Indiana uni
versity, says the New York World
Professor Foley is head Of the physics
department and also of the Waterman
Institute for Scientific Rssearch at the
university.
Professor Foley's objection to the
present type Of locomotive whistle Is
twofoid. 1t criticizes both the tone and
the position. His suggestion for I'M
provements are based on discoveries
made during series Of researches
into sound intensity and cost Of opera
tion of many types of whistle. The
article continues as follows:
The popular "chime" whistle, with
its comparatively low-pitched notes, he
maintains, u only about one-sixth as
effective a warning as would be high
pitched single note.
As for the position, Professor Foley
contends that it's all wrong. The or
dinary whistle has in front Of 1t the
smokestack, bell, steam dome and
electric generator, not to speak Of a
blanket of hot gases.
The result is that its sound is broad
cast to the sides of the track instead
Of directly ahead where 1t is desired.
By altering the position and changing
the note many lives could be saved.
Another factor against the chime
type Of whistle is its cost. According
to Professor Foley's calculations II
takes 2,484.026 tons Of coal per year
TO utter the toots of the nations en-
gines.
The adoption of shrill, single-tone
whistle would effect, according to his
figures. an annual saving In railroad
coal bills of approximately $1,000. 600
