SOUTHEASTERN PART OF
STATE GETS GOOD RAINS

Heavy rain fell at the end Of the
week in southeastern Arizona and
water supply in that section and
western N. Mexico improving range
and contributing materially to the
moisture Of the soil. In some places
the soil is saturated and little lat
er will be in prime condition for fall
seeding and growth of winter pas
lures. Such is the case in the vicin-
ity of Fort Bayard, N. M, where the
range is reported good and cattle
fat. Heavy rain fell also in the
Thatcher section where favorable
conditions were already present and
cattle fat Favorable conditions con-
tinue in the Whiteriver, Douglas and
Nogales sections where some rain
fell during the week. The range is
said to be deteriorating in the vicin-
ity Of Holbrook and the water is get
ting low but cattle are being ship
ped from that place in good condi-
ton. No rain fell in the Seligman
section and the water supply conse-
quently remains low. Range and
stock in the Grand Canyon and Pres
colt sections are still in good con-
dition Notwithstanding lack of recent
rains. Some rain fell last week in
Williams and vicinity and range and
livestock are in fair condition. Range
conditions are good and cattle doing
well about Pinedale but winter feed
is reported scarce.
Lettuce is coming along nicely in
the Yuma Valley and date harvest is
about complete. Naval oranges in
that section seem ready to color but
must have some cooler nights. A
dense fog in that section Friday
morning was the first recorded in 81
years. Peas of excellent quality will
be marketed from the Salt River
Valley during the coming week.
