UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA NEWS

University of Arizona (Tucson)
Investigation into the cause of
the death of over twenty cows
owned by Bert Golfer is being
carried on at the present time
by university of Arizona agricul
t1ral workers.
w. G.. McGinnies, range eco.
logist and DR.. l.. S. Scott, asso.
ciate animal husbandryman,
have returned after a thorough
investigation of the pasture land
on the Golfer farm and are ex.
pected to complete their report
this week.
The Golfer farm lies between
Springerville and McNary, Ari-
'zona and all of the deaths have
occurred during the last few
months. A close examination
of the plant life on the farm
seems to indicate, Professor Nc.
Ginnies stated, that there are no
poisonous plants in the pasture
area.
The body of the last cow to
die was analysed, and the agri
cultural workers believe that
death in this case was caused by
blackleg. However, it is point.
ed out that Mr.. Golfer vacci.
mates against this disease each
year. There is slight possibi-
iity that the vaccinations did not
take.
Although the blacklee theory
is the most plausible, the inves.
tigators have not completed all
of the analysis. There have
been no new deaths reported
during the last two weeks.

BUSINESS BETTER IN ARIZONA
THAN TEXAS, NEW MEXICO

Phoenix, Oct, Is. - General
business conditions in Arizona,
except in the mining districts,
are much better than il either
Texas or New Mexico, according
to a statement made yesterday
by John E., Sellers. engineer,
formerly with the state engi.
neer's Office and the City of
Phoenix, who just completed q
4 300 mile trip through Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas making
a business survey.
Texas is seriously handi
capped" said Mr.. Sellers, with
a heavy crop of cotton with a
low price and poor market. Ell
Paso is complaining of poor col.
lections. slow buying aud scant
futures. Border transactions are
very spotted and far below nor
NAL. The entire Pecos valley,
east of Ell Paso is slow excepting
the oil districts around Midland.
September movements, that or
dinarily mean q much more &C.
tive market, are far below the
general trend and considerable
pessimistic outlooks are talked
of throu ghout the district. -
New Mexico is also spotted.
The northern portion is begin
ming to show improvement while
the southern portion is sluggish
and offers little opportunity for
normal pickup until after the
holidays. The only activity of
interest is at Hobbs and Loving
ton. At Hobbs the oil boom is
making a city over night of q
little cow town out on the parch
ed desert. Normally a town of
800 people, Hobbs has jumped
over night to wide open town
of IL. 900. Lovington is destined
to be one of the oil centers with
Hobbs leading in drilling opera
tiOns.
"The contrast between Texas
and New Mexico is not easily
detected but the moment one
crosses the line into Arizona
everything seems different. The
price of copper mutually has
affected conditions in the mining
districts of Arizona but there
are so many other things of note
that the depression, if it could
be called that in Arizona, is
hardly noticeable. Analysing
conditions in Arizona, the Salt
River valley is far the best of
any community.
Along the Gila valley, from
Yuma to Gila Bend, there are no
less than seven irrigation and
power projects that will prove
valuable asset to the state.

This backlog should an can be

Completion of the uoer- stuc.

when the last permanent deck
span, ending it's service as a
floating falsework from which
the remainder of the bridge was
erected, was foated into posi-
ton at the north end of the span
touching the shore of Solano
county.
The task signalized virtual
finish of the $4,000. 900 job that
has been under Way since AID
ril, 1929. when engineers first
launched into the amazing feat
of sinking 10 great concrete
piers into the bottom of the bay
as the foundation for the struc

signalizes elimination of the las,

possible retirement of the his

A resultant saving of from 2s

schedules and from two ito four
