ARIZONA CROPS
RANK FIRST IN
ACRE PRODUCTS

| Arizona'S rank as a producer of
agricultural products is shown to be
very high in comparison with Other
states in an Arizona industrial con-
gress compilation of preliminary esti-
mates of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
Arizona, while having one of the
smallest areas in farm lands, during
the past year raised eight crops that
ranked first in the whole country in
tame hay, alfalfa, cantaloupes, all
wheat, winter wheat, oats, sweet po-
| tatoes and all hay; in cotton and
lettuce Arizona ranked second. Five
crops, oats, sweet potatoes and three
different classifications of hay, give
Arizona first place in average value
| per acre. When the figures quoted
are revised it is thought that first
place in acre value will also be given
| Arizona cotton, as in the figures now
available the acre value is based
only on short-staple prices, Pima
| long-staple cotton, which brought
considerably better prices, not hav-
ing been included.
Prices received for Arizona prod
ucts, while not all ranking first as
to acre yield, have in many cases
been double or nearly so the
average of those received for the
same product throughout the entire
United States Wheat figures ror
Arizona compare very favorably with
those of other states, yield of 25
bushels per acre to 14.7 as a ma.
tional average. The acre value OF
$3.50 for Arizona wheat very nearly
doubles the national figure of $17.65.
Figures for all varieties of hay
| show that Arizona more than doubled
! the national estimate for both aver
age acre yield and value per acre,
receiving $46.4O per ton as against
S1S.21 for the United States taker
as a whole and producing an aver

MAN AND WIFE WHO
ASSAULTED OFFICER

William and Mary Kenworthy,
charged with assaulting Officer Sam.
uel j.. Hayhurst Saturday night, were
arraigned before Justice eof the Peace
w. G. Jack Monday afternoon and
ordered held under bond of $1,000
each. The charge is aggravated
assault and the outcome of the case
will depend upon the recovery of
Hayhurst, who is now at Calumet
hospital recovering from his injuries.
Hayhurst was seriously beaten by
Kenworthy and his wife about 1:4O
Saturday night, when the officer
found Mrs. KenWorthy lying on the
sidewalk lat Eighth and G avenue
and started to help her to her feet.
According to the report made to the
police the woman clutched Hayhurst
around the ankles and held him
while fKenworthy beat him up.
The charge against the Kenworthys
carries a maximum penalty of a
$4,000 fine and five years in the
penitentiary. Hayhurst has been q

state for many years. Authorities

age of 3.57 tons per acre in compari-
son with 1873 tons. Alfalfa grown
in Arizona averaged 4.3 tons to the
acre, while the average for = the
country is quoted as being 2.49.
Lettuce and cantaloupes made n
very good showing during the year,
both almost doubling the national
average for acre production. Arizona
produced 22O crates of cantaloupes
per acre, with 1876 as the national
figure, and figures for lettuce show
an average of 225 crates, the United
States average being 162. In cam
taloupes Arizona ranked first for the
ere yield average, and second for
lettuce, North Carolina coming first,
Grain sorghums averaged 32 pu,
shells for an acre, against 1928, and
1920 per acre, compared to $12.44
Arizona oats produced 95 bushels per
acre, against 2S,2 for the whole
country, and averaged $3.50 an acre,
against $1765. The barley produced
in Arizona showed an average of 35
bushels, and $2975 was the acre
value. In all cases it will be noted
that the Arizona average is far in
excess of the national figure.
Only one state, California, exceeded
Arizona in average yield per acre OF

The year 1927 is not leap year but

not the worst. 1925 showed an In
