NEW DELAY SEEN
-
/. !. IN OIL INDEMNITY
Precedent Established by
Mexican Note on Agrarian
Seizures.
BY the Associated Press,

i MEXICO CITY, Aug 4-The Mexi-
can government appeared today to
have established a precedent for de-
laying payment of indemnity in the
appropriation of $400, ,000, 900 of Amer
lean and British owned oil properties.
Dealing with seizure of American
owned farms since August 30. 1927.
the government replied last night to

tion on indemnities.
= The reply refused arbitration, sug-
eested discussion to determine value
of the farm land. acknowledged the
debt but held there was no legal obli-
cation to make prompt or even de-
ferred payment. said indemnif1cation
would be under Mexican law on the
basis of the nations ability to pay,
insisted that inability to pay could
not be accepted as valid reason for
delaying the program of social re-
form by which land is being turned
back to the peasantry, said fatly
these reforms would be continued.
The effect of this thesis upon the
II foreign oil firms taken over by the
government March l8 was matter
for speculation, but well-informed
persons believed that it would apply
equally we'll to that question, with
little revision.
The Mexican note was handed to the
American Ambassador. Josephus
Daniels, by Foreign Minister Eduardo
Hay. 1t replied to a note by the
United States on July 81 admitting
Mexico's right to appropriate, but in
sisting upon prompt payment.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull con-
tended that international law provided
for this, and said that in America pay
ment was made at once in necessary
appropriations for social reforms.
4. He said the owners valued at $10,-
132.388 the properties involved. Pay
ment of indemnity on appropriated
farms was suspended in 1880.

The problem has wide ramifications.
Mr.. Hull's note dealt only with farm
lands valued by their owners at $l0,-

claims would affect seized American
oil properties valued at upwards Of
$50, 0,000, 900.

of a freak accident and last

Missing since Tuesday from the

Porter was discovered early this
morning on the railroad tracks
at Cameron Yards, three miles
west Of here, by a section crew
en- route to work on a handcar.
The aged colored mans right
foot was caught and badly
mangled in a switch, electrically
operated from the freight yards
tower. The workmen liberated
him and carried him to the Alex
andria station on the handcar
where an ambulance transferred
him to the hospital.
Examination by DR.. S. B. Moore
disclosed the other foot had been
frozen and that both probably
would have to be amputated.
Porter had apparently been wan

voted to his wife, but brought to

by war injuries, past experiences
and a sterilization operation.

would rule on the dispositions to-
day.

Livestock And
Range Report

Ranges: The May condition OF
ranges in Arizona is slightly lower
than one month ago. High drying
winds prevailed during April and
no rain was received until the last
few days of the month. AS result,
in much of the lower country seed
ling plants were killed and even
older feed was. prematurely- de-
veloped or burned. At higher eleva-
tionS, where soil moisture is more
abundant, continued cold weather
has retarded the growth of feed.
With the advent of warmer wealth
er feed should develop rapidly in
the higher country. Over the south
ern part of the State browse is very
good and will be of great help dur
ing the next two months. In the
north, brouse is putting OUT very
rapidly. Stock-water is generally
sufficient to carry stock through
to summer rains Over the State
as a whole, the outlook for the
next two months is very satisfactory,
but general rainfall is needed at
this time Scattered rainfall CT
April 26-29 was very beneficial
wherever it was received.
Cattle: Although May 1 condi-
ton reports show a slight decline,
cattle have held up remarkably
well during the past thirty days.
They have shed off in good shape
and in many sections are reported
to be making consistent gains. Very
little shrink is reported. From every
section of the State come reports
that a heavy calf crop is in sight
and that calves are big and husky.
This indicates COWS were in good
condition at calving time and are
now giving plenty of milk.
Few sales were reported during
April although there seemed to be
an active demand for stock COWS.
Contracts for May delivery ranged
from &c to 712c on steers and from
SC to SIC on heiferS, with few
COWS at $500.
During the month just past about
1900 head of cattle came into
Arizona from Old Mexico. Of the
total, less than one hundred were
for immediate slaughter. Some 5000
head went to feed on farm pastures;
the remaining $4,000 going to ranges
for. temporary pasture. or. fO-
stocking.
Sheep: Reports on the May l con-
dition sheep and lambs indicate a
lower figure than reported one
month ago. This is likely due to
the fact that for the past month
there has been considerable shift
ing of bands from farm pastures
to ranges and also that a number
of bands have started north, where
feed along the driveways is not
Nogales international., 1938-05-28

so good. AS these bands get further
north they should encounter better
feed and should reach their sum-
mer ranges in good condition. Sum-
mer feed is likely to get good as
water and soil moisture conditions
are unusually good at this time.
Reports from the Navajo Indian
country are considerably higher on
ranges and sheep. The past win
ter was very favorable and the
feed and water situation during
the spring has been good. AS O. re-
suit Navajo bands are in good
shape. These bands have just start
ed lambing, therefore no movement
of Indian lambs can be expected
before August, with the bulk of
sales in September and October. ,

Crop Report

Wheat development of the Ari-
zona wheat crop during April was
normal AS of May 1st the growing
condition justifies forecast OF an
average yield of "a bushels on the
$4,000 acres estimated as planted
for grain, for a total crop Of 1,000,-
600, bushels. Such a crop, If real
lied, compares with 1,035 900 bush
els produced in 1887, and the 10
year average Q927-1936) of 733,-
900 bushels.
For the United States the Crop
Reporting Board of the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics forecasts a
winter wheat crop OF 754, 153, 600
bushels, predicted on a probable
average yield of 14.9 bushels per
acre on 5O,677 900 acres left for
harvest out of 57,316,00 acres seed
ed last fall. The abandonment has
been 11.6%o of the seeded acreage,
which compares with 1857 aban-
donment last year and the 10-year
average of 1929. The forecasted
production of 754, 4,153, 900 bushels
compares with last years winter
wheat crop of 685, ,102, 900 bushels
and the 10-year average of 546,-
1896 900 bushels. Improvement in the
crop was general during April and
the present forecast is %, ,446, 900
bushels more than was indicated
from April l condition. If realized
as now forecasted the present wheat
crop will be the second largest in
history.
Citrus prospects for the 1888
80 season appear favorable in most
sections. In California, condition Of
groves is reported to be good, with
an abundance of soil moisture avail
able. Bloom has been exceptionally
heavy in Arizona, and mild weather
during the spring months has been
favorable for the development of
the crop. Citrus bloom IN Texas
was unusually heavy, and trees are
carrying a good set of fruit. The
