LIVESTOCK AND RANGES

PHOENIX - SeaSOnable warm
days and absence of rainfall have
been favorable for all crops in ir-
rigated sections of the state. Nights
have been somewhat cooler than
usual but the concensus of opinion
of fruit and vegetable growers is
that the development of very few
farm products has been DELAYED.
Grapes are in great quantity and
there is promise of a crop of ex-
cellent quality. A few days will
see the harvest and shipment of
this crop in full swing in both the
Yuma and Salt River valleys. Ac-
cording to growers the field crop
of cantaloupes is progressing ex-
ceedingly we'll and will be ready for
shipment near the end of the
month. Those already shipped
were of an early planted crop Civ
en- special protection from the
frost. Cotton has made fair pro-
gress during the week and much of
it is already in blossom. Yuma
cotton continues fine with many
squares showing. Cantaloupes and
melons have been moving out we'll
from the Yuma valley. It is re-
ported that alfalfa seed is slipping
a good deal but it is too early to
determine whether seriously or not.
Night temperatures have been most
too low in the northern part of the
state for potatoes and grain hay.
Owing to the heavy rains of
April and the unusual amount of
moisture absorbed by the soil, pas
lures have held up more than or
dinarily we'll during the dry months
of May and June. Only in south
western New Mexico has there
been marked deterioration and
even so stock has continued in good
condition and will probably so con-
tinue until the arrival of summer
showers. No serious scarcity of
water is reported anywhere and in
many of the mountain sections
streams are maintaining a good
flow of water. The lighter spring
grasses have given way to the
grammas and other substantial
food plants of summer which now
cover the cienagas and open spaces
of the higher attitudes.

Life This masterpiece has been
translated into fifty-eight different

thousands of people on their march
through life.
What weakness and discourage
ment can persist in the face of
these words, so magnificent and
true:
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time"
The purpose of leaving our foot
prints, is, of course, to show the
pathway that leads to happier and

but to work at making ones life
