ark Ranger Makes
Weather Study

In the monthly report issued by
the Southwestern Monuments for
October, 1897. Mr.. J. Donald Frs
kline, Park Ranger at the Casa
Grande Ruins one mile north Of
Coolidge. submits an interesting
study of local weather conditions
His normal figures are based on
II years of weather observation at
the Ruins, and on file there. His
figures show that our temperature
drops in fall much faster than
it rises in the spring. The study for
the past year, from October 1896 TO
October 1897, shows an abnormal
year. with the low down to 13 de
grees in January, and excessive
heat during July, August and Sep
tember, with a maximum of III
degrees. The rainfall of 1880
inches was also above the normal
of 1929, the largest amount OF
rains falling in July and Decem-
Der.
During the year we had 22S clear
days, or 63 per cent; 81 partly
cloudy days, or rs per cent; and 40
cloudy days, of II per cent. Sum
ming up his detailed report.
Mr.. Erskine states: "The year
has been abnormal in many res
poets, but, in making comparisons
with the weather conditions in oth-
er sections of the nation, we can't
complain, as there have arisen no
serious human difficulties connect
ed with our weather conditions. We
dislike the heat in the summer, but
we do not succumb to it as people
do in other sections of the nation.
We shiver in the winter, but get
ting out in the sun during the day
we thaw out and feel better"

HOME ECONOMIC STUDENTS
BEGIN TO MAKE DRESSES

Nov. 22.-The students in the
advanced class of Home Economics
began work today on dressmaking.
Each girl in the class is making n
dress the pattern and color which
is becoming to her Most of the ma
terials being used are of cotton and
are washable, but one or two of the
more advanced students are using
wool and silk Mrs. LOucks said
that she wanted each girl to make
the type of dress that she needed
most. Since these dresses must be
made during the class periods, and
there are only four sewing ma
chimes, it will probably take severa.
weeks to finish the work. -lnez

ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY

Just a few months short of a
hundred years ago the United
States Government set aside
thousand dollars to finance what
was to become a billion-dollar in
stitution, the Department of Agri-
culture. Most of that thousand dol
lars went for the gathering and
distribution of seeds.
Today the Department employs
10000 people, maintains hundreds
of sections and builds over 10000
miles of highway every year.
The nations agricultural interest
at the moment. however, is center
ed on Capitol Hill where Congress
has convened in special session to
do something for the farmer. He
seems to need it more than anyone
else right now.
The Arizona farmer has one out
standing problem. He must have
market. There are no dust storms
or floods to carry away his farm.
He can fairly well estimate his pro-
duction and what it VIII cost him
to produce it. He knows what he
must pay for water and labor and
how much for seed, but in the old
method of marketing he has moth
ing but a gamble. There he must
become a speculator, for his crop is
sold and re-sold many times, often
before it leaves the field.
Spectators in farm products jug
gle values much as wolves of Wall
Street manipulate prices of stocks.
What chance does a farmer have
in competition with men who neith-
er p,ow nor plant, but spend years
in market gambling? He is in
much the same predicament as the
country boy who goes to town on
Saturday night to play poker with
professionals.
1t is hardly logical that this ses-
sion will discover a cureall for the
farmer, but it is almost a certainty
that he will be a little better able
to carry on after Congress gets
through with him this time.

Farmers Borrow
Over S1OO, 900, 900

The S100,000,000 mark in short
term loans has been passed by the
thirty production credit aSsocia-
tions in California, Nevada, Ari-
zona and Utah, according to 7. P.
Coats, president of the Production
Credit Corporation of Berkeley.
Over $101, 100000 has been loaned
to $4,000 ranchers and livestock
men in the eleventh Farm Credit
Administration district since the
production credit associations were
organized four years ago.
These short term loans have
been made for many purposes IN
cluding the cultivation, harvesting
and marketing Of crops and the
breeding. raising and feeding OF
livestock. The money advanced
was about equally divided between
the two groups.
Since the organization or these
farmer-owned, farme controlled
production credit associations four
wears ago, a steady increase IN
business has been reflected. During
the first ten months of 1887, nearly
S32,OOO.00O has been loaned. TINS
far surpasses the previous record
esta blished in 1886 when S30,OOO,-
600 was loaned during the entire
year.

Wilderness Areas
Gain Importance

Arizona's roadless areas, where
no automobile accidents have ever
happened-the seven primitive
areas maintained by the U. S.
Forest Service so that this and
future generations can see the
western wilderness much the same
as the pioneers saw it-drew the
attention recently of Robert Mar
shall. Forest Service recreation
chief, on an inspection trip which
covered most of the western states
Commenting on the fine expanse
of such areas, covering 391 900
acres in this State. Marshall said,
There are tens of thousands Of
Americans who enjoy getting away
from the nerve-racking strain of
modern life and finding simple
recreation in the National Forests
and the primitive areas which are
located on some of them. Motorists
have more than three million miles
of QUITO roads in the United States
for this benefit. In order to have
fair balance of the different in
terests in outdoor recreations, it
seems only fair to maintain some
substantial roadless areas for those
who like simple recreation" l."
Indications are, he said, that the
people used their forests for recrea-
ton during the past summer more
than ever before. He added, at
seems obvious that working hours
are going to continue to diminish
in the United States, and that
sooner or later the income of the
average person will rise. AS this
occurs there is bound to be more
and more time and demand for
recreation. To prepare for such IN
creased recreational use, the Forest
Service has been developing addi-
tional campgrounds and picnic
grounds. and in most cases they
are being used to capacity as last
as they are opened.
Arizonas eight National Forests
have more than hundred develop
ed recreation areas, with picnick-
ing or camping facilities, and liter
allv thousands of natural camping
spots. Marshall inspected the de-
veloped and the natural areas, ire
ouently walking for many miles as
is his habit. He has made more
than 200 one-day walks of 30 miles
or better, and likes to leave an IN
spection tour and strike into the
back country on foot.
He inspected Oak Creek on toot'
On the Kaibab National Forest,
eveing wildfire and recreatlonal
conditions, he walked Al miles IN
one day. He spoke highly OF the
beauty of Oak Creek and the MO
goIIon Rim country on the Coconl-
no National Forest, as we'll as OF
the big game resources there and
on the Kaibab.
Primitive areas in Arizona and
their areas are: Blue Range, 21S.
l64 acres; Mount Baldy, 7,4OO;
Sycamore Canyon, 47,230 acres;
Chiricahua, 1920; Galiuro $4,000;
Pine Mountain, 1880; and Sierra
Ancha, $4,000.
