Monthly Arizona
Crop Report

PHOENIX, Aug. 16-Growing con-
ditions for Arizona crops during July |
were generally favorable in north
ern and eastern portions of the
state, but the shortage of irriga-
tion water for many farms in Mari
copa and Pinal counties was re-
Sponsible for deterioration Of cotton
and hay crops. the Agricultural i
marketing service reports
Crop prospects on August l point |
to better than average yields of
corn, oats and barley. The crop is
maturing under general favorable
conditions in the southeastern part
of the state. Indicated production
of 464,000 bushels was unchanged
fror4 month ago. Last year, 275 900
bushels were produced and the aver
age for the preceding ten years is
494 900 bushels.
Despite the fact that irrigation
water is extremely short for many
farms IN MarlcOpa and P1nal cOun-
ties. the acreage of grain s0rghums
is greater than last year
While it is a common practice for
some farmers to purposely avoid ir-
rigating alfalfa during part of July
and August, thereby missing one
cutting Of hay, it has been neces-
sary this season for many to miss
two and in some cases three cut
tings because of the water shortage.
Even with a slight increase in acre
| age, production forecast at 5000
tons is under last years crop and is
substantially below the average pro-
duction. Good indicated yields CT
| other tame grasses, however, has
helped to hold the production fore
cast of all tame hay at practically
the same tonnage harvested in 1899.
The water shortage has also been
responsible for a marked decline in
the condition of farm pastures dur
