FARMS RETURN
2l-4 PER CENT
Average Investment S9,O77;
Survey of 351 Forms Re-
vealS Basic Data

An economic survey of SOL farms in
Sheridan, Daniels, Dawson, Custer,
Chouteau, Phillips, Blaine, Hill and
Teton counties, conducted by the Men
tana agricultural experiment station
for the year 1922, shows that on an
average capital investment OF S9,Ol1
farmers realized an average labor IN
come Of S2O4. During that year
wheat yields were low in many OF
the counties and prices were still
down as a result of the abrupt drop
in 1920. Since wheat furnished ap-
proximately three-fourths of the IN
come on the farms surveyed the yield
and price for wheat were major fac
tors in the economic situation.
The survey conducted by the Ex-
pertinent station was not intended to
provide IN economic picture of any of
the counties in which the work was
carried on but to supply a basis for
future economic studies. Figures OBJ
tanned were on number Of acres per
farm, number of acres owned, number
rented, capital investment in the way
of real estate, livestock, machinery,
feed and supplies, cash and credits
value Of real estate per acre, value OF
buildings, sources Of receipts, operat-
ing expenses, land utilization, crop
yields, animal units, pasturage acre
age, etc. By using 1922 figures as a
basis future surveys will show agri-
cultural progress and changes II
farm practices.
A significant feature Of the 1926
survey was that while farms in Sheri
dan and Daniels counties averaged
but sos acres, which, with one excep
ton was the lowest average for an!
Of the counties in the survey, the!
showed an average labor income o
$3.50, which was the highest averagr
for any of the counties studied. TIL
farms studied in these two cOuntie
also showed the highest cash return
from wheat. Wheat furnished 80 pc
cent Of the farm returns in these tw
counties.
The farms surveyed in Custer coun
" showed the greatest degree of d
versification as indicated by the in
come for 1922. Here 48 per Ger
Of the income was from wheat, Will
other crops, livestock and GvestcC
products, supplied the remaining
per cent. In contrast to this ii
farms surveyed in Chouteau count
showed the least Investigation {
the counties studied with 90 per Gel
Of the income from wheat. Choutea
county was the only one in which IL
farms studied showed a minus labt
income, due largely to the fact TIL
average real estate valuation of farm
was approximately double that of az
other county in the survey and TIL
the wheat yield was especially low.

week for the purpose of renewing
it's board of directors, electing Off
GERS and preparing for the annual
festivities that will make Fourth of
July week, 1926, as notable as past
celebrations in this city.
The following officers were elect
ed:
A. r. Johns, president.
G. M. Raible, vice president.
Grace Sparkes, secretary.
M. B. Hazeltine, treasurer.
1t was learned that an appropria-
tion of $4,000 by the state legisla-
ture would be available for the fair
on July l and that the financial
condition of the fair and frontier
days was much more cheerful than
had been reported, but still requir-
ing some money raising to make
things come out even.
Further steps were taken to con-
solidate the two organization
known as the Northern Arizona
State Fair association and the vol
unteer association that has been
responsible for putting On the an

PROCLAMATION

Whereas, the forests of Arizona
are of vital Importance to the peo-
pie of the state and to the industry
and wealth of the state, and
Whereas, the forests by conserv-
ing the snow and rainfall and pre-
serving the water sheds assure the
continuance of agriculture in the
state. The denuding of the water
sheds would mean disaster for our
agricultural interests, and
Whereas, the grazing on the for
ests assists in maintaining the live
stock business of the state, which
is one of our leading industries and
the value of the live stock raised
in comparison to the value of the
trees raised over the same period
of time will far exceed the value
of the timber and at the same time
the grazing in the forests by live
stock will tend to reduce the fire
hazards which would result in the
destruction of timber, and
Whereas, it is important that cut
over land be reforestated and that
forestry problems should receive
the attention of all of the citizens
of our state because the welfare of
our state is bound up in our for
ests, and
Whereas, Calvin Coolidge, Presi-
dent of the United States has des-
ignated April Is to "a, 1925, inclu-
sive, as American Forest Week"
and has recommended to the gov
ernors of the various state that they
also designate the week as "Amer-
ican Forest Week"
Now, Therefore, I, George, w. P.
Hunt, Governor of the State of
Arizona, do hereby designate the
week of April Is to "a, 1926, in
elusive, as American Forest Week
and I urge the public officials, the
public and business organizations,
! the industrial leaders, land owners,
editors, educators, clergymen, our
agricultural and mining organiZa-
tions and the various live stock as
sociations and those interested in
cutting timber on the forests to
unite in a discussion of the prob
lens of conserving the forest
areas; the planting of trees in sec
tions that are otherwise non-pro-
ductive; and, in particular, I urge
that the problems of cooperation
between the propagation of trees
and the grazing of live stock, the
manufacturing of lumber and re-
forestation, be discussed so that a
better understanding of each phase
of the problem may be gained by all
the interests concerned with our
forests, so that through proper CO.
operation our forests may be pre-
served and extended.
In Witness Whereof, have here
Nnto set my hand and affixed the
Great Seal of the State of Arizona
Done at Phoenix, the Capitol, this
oath day of March, 1926.

Proclamation OF Governor Offers Reward
OF $4,000 For Capture OF Harry Nash

PHOENIX-A reward of 500
was offered last week by Governor
Hunt in an executive proclamation
for the capture, dead or alive, OF
Harry Nash, murder convict, who
escaped from the state prison on
March 1.
Nash was serving a sentence of
from "a to rs years for the mur-
der of William Schwab, a travelling
salesman of Salt Lake City, Utah,
whom he killed near Flagstaff, Ari-
zona in 1922, and buried the body
in an abandoned we'll on a ranch
on the Old Trails highway.
Nash made his escape from the
prison on the night of March 1,
through the aid of Don E. Kember-
ling, guard at the prison. KEN
berling confessed, according to pr1>
son officials, to throwing rope to
Nash, who scaled the walls by
means of the rope and made his
escape by means of an automobile
which Rendering said he had pur-
chased and left parked near the
pr1S0sA.
The prison officials believed for a
time that they had clue to the
whereabouts of the missing con-
Vict, it was stated in the governors
office yesterday, but the clue was
found to be a false one and it was
decided to offer a reward in an eff
fort to expedite the capture OF
Nash.
