Melon And Fruit
Harvest Was Good
Reports Santa Fe

LOS ANGELES-The movement
of deciduous fruits from California
up to the end of October had aggre-
gated $4,000 car loads, according to
the crop report, issued by the Ag-
ricultural Department of the Santa
Fe, j. r. FARRELL, manager, for No
vember
The quality of the immense fruit
production was good the report
adds, and the prices fair. Olive
production is light this season, but
the high quality will make up by
commanding higher prices. The
prospects for a satisfactory orange
movement during the forthcoming
navel season is said to be bright
A heavy crop of celery is about
ready for the market, and will fig
ure prominently in the menus dur
ing the holiday period. Fifteen
thousand tons of almonds and wal
nuts have been produced and are
being marketed
The harvesting of the big rice
crop is under way. Potatoes have
produced satisfactorily; onions, too
have been prolific, but prices for
the latter vegetable have been off.
Cotton has made a heavy yield in
the state, but the prices are disap-
pointing The livestock situation
is improving. Early fall rains have
been of advantage to pasture and
range land California this winter
will pasture many cattle from other
states.
Dry weather 1nterferred with the
early fall grain seeding in New
Mexico. Production of crops in the
state have been satisfactory. The
same is true of Arizona, although
the poor prices for the large cotton
yield is somewhat discouraging.
The winter lettuce crop, how
ever, will bring a good revenue.
The general situation covering
the entire Santa Fe range of states,
is summed up in the statement that
the disturbance in the cotton mar
ket which caused losses to grow
ers, is not so serious as in other
years when many farmers raised
cotton only The gradual adoption
of a program of diversification has
proved to be beneficial.

THANKSGIVING
TURKEYS TO BE
HIGH THIS YEAR

Thanksgiving turkey eating
will be somewhat more costly this
year than in the past two years,
according to a holiday prediction
made by an eastern Agri-
cultural Foundation. The turkey
crop is not as large as it was last
year or the year before, and a
prediction of As to 4S cents a

pesimistic.
The cool weather this fall has
been favorable turkey weather" "
So long as the days and the nights
are comparatively warm, turkeys
continue to roam the country and
fail to put on flesh. When the
temperature falls, they are con-
tent to cease wandering off, and
settle down to grain feeding which
rapidly adds pounds to turkey
meat. The crop generally is fur
ther advanced than at this time
in several years, and reports from
the country consistently tell of the
high quality of the turkeys. In
Texas which is the big early state
for turkeys, the crop is believed
to exceed last year when many of
the young poults were lost during
the hot dry summer. Oklahoma,
Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa
and Ohio are expected to have
fewer turkeys for the market this
season while Arizona reports flocks
of about the same size as last year
Stocks Of turkeys in storage
are less than half as large as at
this time year ago and 40 per-
cent below the five-year average.
Deserves of frozen-turkeys, there
fore, will be les. of market factor

chickens and fowls are five million
pounds larger than year ago and
ten million pounds larger than the
five-year average, however, Off

WESTERN TRAVEL
HEAVIER IS CLAIM
OF RAIL OFFICIAL.

LOS ANGELES-There is every
indication that tourist travel to
California this winter will be very
much heavier than during the same
period in 1925, E. j Engel, of Chi
cago. vice president of the Santa
Fe railroad said here in the course
OF an interview Mr.. Engel quail
fled his prediction for increased
travel to the West coast by four
reasons:
The railroads are receiving great
er number of inquiries for informa-
ton concerning Southern Califor-
MIA. Because the interest of east
erners in California seems to- be
greater this year than ever. before,
and because adverse publicity prac-
tically has disappeared A spirit
of travel is abroad in the land. Peo-
pie are travelling more than in pre-
vious years. General prosperity
throughout the nation has provided
the necessary capital for travelling.
The Santa Fe official is in Cali
fOrnia on his semi-annual inspec-
tion of coast lines of the railroad.

HEALTH OFFICERS
URGED TO HELP In
CURRENT DISEASE

PhOeniX-Dr. f. T. Fahlen. state
superintendent of public health
wrote a letter this week to all To-
cal health authorities in the state
for the purpose of obtaining united
cooperation in holding to a min
imum the number of cases of COM
municable diseases that usually
appear during the first half of
school year. Dr.. Fahlen said the
fact that he wrote such a letter
should not be token as an indica-
ton that there is any unusual
number4of communicable disease
cases in the state at present, but
that the letter is purely precau-
tionary measure.
The letter to the health authori-
ties reviews the number of com
municable disease cases reported
to the state board of health for the
latter part of october and the first
six days of November, listing the
cases by cities and towns in the
state. The diseases listed include
scarlet fever, typhoid fever, and
diptheria. In conclusion, the letter
said:
You are earnestly requested to
cooperate fully with your local
health officer in controlling any
further spread of these diseases.
Preventive measures are espec-
tally important during the school
year, and the winter months.
Please report and quarantine all
suspected cases.
Communicable diseases reported
to the board of health for the week
ending November were as fol-
lows: Measles, 6; Scarlet fever
10; trachoma, s; tuberculosis, 27 !;

Election Board Of
Precinct z State
All Votes Tailed

Reports that the election board
OF Precinct No. 2, Winslow, failed
to complete their count on Tues
day night and Wednesday morning
following the general election
have been declared absurdly
groundless and untrue by election
board members.
These rumors grew out of the
fact that no count of the totals
was taken Wednesday morning of
last week, and the announcement
that the totals could not be OBJ
tanned probably led to misun-
derstanding on the part Of some
of the more rabidly political popu-
latiOn.
Election board members on
duty at Precinct 2 state that the
failure to take off the totals was
caused by a misunderstanding in
their own ranks, it being the i'm
preston of the various members
that the totals had already been
taken by one of their number.
Since Number is the largest
precinct in Winslow, and since
that election board was on con-
stant duty until $500 A. NJ We'd

bers feel that the rumors of irreg-
ularity are unjust as we'll as radi-
cally untrue. The total. vote W as
