Arizona Nliisproduce approximately
1,127O00 bushels of grain sorghums
from the paintings of 1925, according
to the United5 States crop reporting
board. The average acre yield Of grain
sorghums is estimated at 32.2 bushels

The acre yield of Arizona's corn for
1926 is estimated at 80 bushels, from
which total production of 1,170,000

white potatoes. Only 60 bushels per
acre will be the average harvested.
Last year 50 bushels per acre was re-
corded. For the United. States the
production of white potatoes is fore
east at 346,503,0O0 for 1925, compared
with 454, 9,0W bushels last year and
412,392,000 in 1928.
In cotton, tDta1 production of 3d.
coo bales is foTScast for the 1926 sea-
son in ArizonaJof which $4,000 bales
had been ginned prior to November /.
According to oTeports received from
over fifty Arizona cattle growers, the
condition of ranges on November /
was about the same as the first of
the preceding month. The average
condition of pasture was so per cent
of normal and of cattle 90 per cent

ACETATE AGAINST VON
English Women Demand sThat Mar riage Service be Revised to Con-

London, April 24.--Demands that tho marriage service, which was ''in- spired by the ideals of the time of Henry VIII" be revised, have been made upon the National Assembly ot the Church of England by the Na- tiontla Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship. The Women's Freedom League also has come out for a change.
 The marriage service is antiquat- ed, according to Miss Florence Un- derwood, secretary of the Freedom League, who contends that her or ganlzatioh cannot agree to any formula which indicates less than absolute equality between men and women. ~
 We do not presume to suggest to the church any particular alternative form of words" said Miss Under wood, "as that is the business of the church and we leave 1t to the bish- ops to consider. But we certainly do object to the word obey It is most assuredly high time that a service was evolved which, while retaining all the beauty and sacredness of the one now used, would demand pre- cisely the same from one party as from the other"

 Brought Up by Tutor.
 The up-bringing of the Vanderbilt boys is turned over almost entirely to tutor, He must be sort of super r-scoutmaster, young man of education, athletic ability, social polish and character. Directly as sisting him are a maid for each boy, and a chauffeur. Their meals are cooked by the chef who has been with the family since before they were born. There used to be also q , French goyerness, but the boys found her dull and refused to learn French.
 The tutor is with them virtually all their working hours except in mornings when they attend classes at select private school. Some times the boys even insist upon piling into bed with him to sleep The tutor has general supervision over the professional instructors who come 10 give them lessons fir golf, tennis, dancing, nah iong and the like. He rides horseback witt them and accompanies them as the, learn to drive their automobile about the roads of their estate.

MARKET PURE BRED
 STOCK FUR MEAT
Animals Should Be Kept for
 Breeding, Survey Shows

Washington, April 24.--Much of the purebred livestock of tho coun- try Is finding It's way to the dinner table, instead of being kept on farms for breeding purposes only, the bu- reau Of animal industry has found in a survey which reached 653 farmers in 45 states. Answers to questionnaires sent out by the bu- reau developed also that the dairy industry is. drawing many purebred cattle.
 Analysis of the replies, the bureau announced today. has shown that about 62 per cent Of purebred live stock is marketed directlys for meat purposes, swine being slaughtered at the rate of 75,1 per cent: sheep 62.6 per cent and cattle 41.S per cent.
 The consensus of opinion of the farmers was that purebred meat animals cost slightly less than scrubs to raise to maturity, while dairy cattle cost slightly more. I bhll1dio mGIS uGNldIth much more profitable to raise than scrubs and somewhat more so than graded stock. the degree depending on the proportion of pure blood pos sessed by the grades.
 About 96 per cent of tic farmers who had given the use of purebred sires a trial were found to adhere to the general principle of using them for all classes of stock. Improve ment of the quality of purebred livestock by rigid culling and by selling only worthy animals for breeding purposes was urged by a number of farmers. ...... .-
 Tho bureau learned that only one half of the purebred animals in the country eligible to registration are actually registered. Principal req sons given for not registering ami mals were intention to sell for slaughter, poor Individuality lltt'e demand for registration papers when stock Is sold, and carelessness in at- lending to registration.
 The questionnaires produced a Virtually unanimous opinion that purcbrcd livestock was more proh.' able than grade or scrub animals with well-bred grades a close sec- ond. A Nebraska stockman as- clared he had found that purebreds "are of more unlform type, feed out ,.s.ton and more nuickly and there fore put on\ more gath with the same or less feed and in less time. Others told of high prices, ready sale on slow market days, >abilltv ID fa.ten on grass with a minimum o' grain feed and finishing for proht- nblo carly markets.
 The importance of color as a ger. tifics ton that cattle are ot the ''ea' ~ hraeds was emphasized by "es'e'''
 "whiteface., red, roan and plach
