1t was a days work for the judges
to pick from the large number OF
meritoreous displays those to be con-
ceded special prizes. Nor was it the
hope OF money compensation that
brought such a display. The financial
compensation in each and every
department of the domestic science

every Imaginable vegetables and some
fruits. st. David is not left out Of the
list of prize winners and, like many of
the other exhibitors, is showing a
higher quality of produce this year
than ever before
Altogether the agricultural building
presents an exhibit that no one can
afford to miss. There is something
to wonder at and something to learn
from every individual exhibit and
after one has spent hours studying
the agricultural exhibits one may turn
to the commercial booths and meet
with still more interesting things.
Every available COOP in the poultry
house at the COchise county fair is
occupied by attractive and interesting
birds entered by the poultry raisers
Of Cochise county, although the space
available and the number of pens is
almost doub--S that Of last year.
In cold figures, 425 birds were en-
tered for the premiums and ribbons this
year Last year there we're 243.
H. G. Duckett, chairman of the
poultry department, was overjoyed by
the unprecedented increase in the
popularity of his department over
previous years, and the poultry judge,
Professor Harry Embleton, Of the Uni
versity of Arizona, was busy until a
late hour inspecting the many entries.
1t was impossible to complete the
judging yesterday, but Chairman
Duckett announced that the prize win
ners would be announced today and
that all ribbon birds would be marked
before noon.
The spectators who strolled up and
down the aiSles Of the poultry houses
found between Is and 20 varieties of
utility chickens, all raised in Cochise
county, including Rhode Island Reds,
White Wyandottes, White Rocks, Bar
red Rocks, White Leghorns, Brown
Leghorns, Buff Leghorns, Buff Orping-
tons, Black Minorcas as well as sew
eral varieties each Of turkeys, geese
and ducks, as we'll as capons Of some
half dozen varieties. One exceptions
ally interesting pen contains o finely
feathered japanese silken hen and
four chicks.
Also on display are some 10 varieties
of bantam cocks and hens, peafowls,
guineas, game birds, frizzles and pig
cons, not to mention several owls in
cluding two monkey faced owls which
though they may not be considered
poultry" are at least interesting.
Also in the poultry house are three
pens of Belgian hares and a brood OF
six pedigree German police dog pups,
the latter exhibited by a Bisbee dog
breeder.

Mrs. j. Vestry had a large number

president of the United States, and

FRENCH WOULD
DELAY TARIFF
Note PUBLICITY

WASHINGTON, Sept. %, P)-De-
lay until next week at the request
of the French government of publi-
cation Of the Franco american tar
iff correspondence announced today
at the state department, created an
impression in washington that a
definite decision by the Paris gov
ernment was to be expected probab-
ly by Saturday on its policy as to
commercial duty negotiations with
the United States.
There was no advance intimation
as to what reply is to be expected
on the reiterated American propos-
al for treaty based on most-fav
ored-nation treatment with which
the French suggestion for a recipro-
city tariff agreement was countered.
Presumably the French request for
delay in publication was made to
permit the Paris cabinet to consider
the question. In that connection the
Paris government is known to have
called for information from its rep
resentatives here as to instances Of
American tariff determinations, par
ticularly as to the special accorded
by the United States to Cuban goods.
The American tariff commission has
submitted a preliminary report to
the president dealing with French
determinations against American
goods for long period of years.

5 COMMUNISTS
ARE SENTENCED
TO LONG TERMS

PARIS, Sept. % tR-An aggre-
gate of fifty-eight years in Jail were
meted out in sentences to eight COM
munists leaders here Tuesday among
whom there. were two deputies.
All of the convictions handed
down by the French couIos grew
cut of charges of melting military
disobediences by articles appearing
in the radical press over their sig
natures.
Jacques Duclos member of the
chamber of deputies, was given B.
year sentences and Deputy Mandre
Marty, two 5-year sentences. They
we're the heaviest ones imposed. The
six others who we're given sentences
ranging from one to five years, are
merely militant communists.
This action was interpreted as a
continuance of the French govern
ment's drive to rid France of the
red elements.

AGRICULTURAL
SITUATION is
BETTER, REPORT

WASHINGTON, Sept % H9-The
agricultural situation at end of Sep
tember shows Improvement as COM
pared with a year ago, the depart
ment of agricultural announced today,
giving the purchasing power of tarm
products as SO, compared with 83 at
this time last year, in the general in
dex which uses the 1909-14 period as a
base of par
Summing up this seasons apparent
production and returns the depart
ment said, TT can probably be called
an average year for the south; for the
wheat belt, good year in the north
and fair year in the south; for the
corn belt, fair year in the west but
a poor year in the east; for the far
west, a good year in the range states
and Pacific northwest"
1.-THE animal industries taken to-
gether, are in as favorable position as
they have held in 10 years" the re-
view continued. Cotton and fruit are
apparently in more moderate supply
than last year and returns from them
are correspondingly better Wheat and
potatoes ere somewhat larger crops
than last year but their prices are
still favorable.
1.-THE cotton crop, ravaged by the
boil Weevil, is forecast at nearly one
third less than last seasons output.
Winter wheat turned but some 75,-
100000 bushels less than last year
though it was about an average crop
but spring wheat is more than making
up with 1oO0OO,O00 bushels in excess
of last year.
Movement of both cotton and wheat
to market is more rapid than last
year Potatoes appear likely to turn
out about an average crop, something
under 4O0,000,000 bushels. Late fruit
is a substantially smaller crop than
last year, especially in the east apple
prices are correspondence higher and
western apple districts are faring bet
ter than they did,
"ThiS is just the critical time for
corn. Warm September weather did
a lot to mature the grain but light
frosts have left their mark lately in
northern valleys while the big general
freeze is presumably not far ahead.
Even if frost holds off two weeks yet
a substantial portion of the corn will
be small ears, SOFT worny or other
wise low in quality In general, the
corn territory west of the Mississippi
has much better crop than that
east of the river. The corn shortage
presumably will send some lighter hogs
to market; it may act to restrict
breeding somewhat for spring pigs.
But there may be more feedable corn
than has been thought likely.
''Western cattle and sheep are NOV
ing down out of the high ranges and
long train loads of marketable stock
are coming eastward. The beef cat
tie industry is unquestoinably on the
upgrade Sheep raiserS are still doing
well and are confident, though more
than one note Of caution against over
expansion has been raised in respon-
sible quarters. The dairy industry IS
in good shape"

SANTA FE PACT
IS SUFFICIENT
TO PROTECT ALL

DENVER, Sept 2S tE0-Rights of
upper basin states fixed in the Santa
T Fe compact of 1922 Including the
exclusive right to the beneficial con-
suptive use OF 100000 acre feet OF
water annually, protect present and
future development for all beneficial
purposes.
This was the report today of q
committee CT five members appointed
by Chairman George Fl. Dern OF the
Colorado river conference to reply
to allegations made by Congressman
Edward t. Taylor, of Colorado, re-.
garding the vulnerability OF the conn.,
pact as a protective instrument
Congressman Taylor told the con-
ference Tuesday that the pact failed
to protect the power rights of the
upper basin states against prior use
of water, and therefore perfected
rights in the lower basin. He alsu
declared that the compact surrenders
several rights Of the state to the
/ federal government.
/ The committees reply, submitted
for the parley record, said the term
beneficial consunaptive use" included
the generation of power and all other
| beneficial uses of water and that such
| upper basin rights cannot be alienated
I impaired or diminished by prior uses
of water for power generation in the
lower basin. It likewise denied that
| the compact surrenders states rights
| to the federal government.
But Is minutes were spent in gen.
eral session and the remainder was
/ devoted to conferences in which the
different delegations talked over the
basis of agreements that might bring
to an end the five year controversy
over the Colorado river compact,
which seeks to distribute the water
of the river among the seven states
| All delegations stated that they
are hopeful" of an ultimate agree
IEment.
At the general session today Chair
man George H. Dern, of Utah, was
! assured that Arizona, California anc
Nevada were bending every effort to
come to an agreement Recess wa;
then taken for the day and tht
delegations retired to their hotels tt
discuss the complexities of the situa-
] ton.
| Gov. Emerson, of Wyoming, re-
turned home today after he hac
informed members of the Arizona
delegation that Wyoming was not
| interested in drawing power COM
pacts.
With Governor Emerson's departure
only three governors renamed to
carry on work of the conference
Hunt of Arizona, Adams of Colorado
and Dern OF Utah. Governors Young
Of California and Ballard of Nevada
had failed to answer the roll call or
] the opening day and Governor Dillor
of New Mexico returned home last
Saturday.
Chairman John L. Bacon of the
/ California delegation informed th'
conference today that his state woulc
regrain from voting on the question
Of receiving a committee report. Th'
report, precipitated by Congressman
Taylor's assertion that the Santa Fl
compact did not protect the powel
interests of the upper basin, sale
the compact protected everyone's in.

river.
