which has been introduced in the

granted.

College Savants
Predict Rosy
Farm Outlook

A rosy outlook was forecast for
the Arizona farmer in 1941 by DR..
George w. Barr and Howard R..
Baker, members Of the college Of
agriculture Of the University OF
Arizona, who annually prepare a
forecast On Arizona agriculture.
The only "fly in the ointment
of state farmers was seen by the
economists in the possibility of
rising production costs. which here
tofore have beeen fairly well
stabilized.
If production costs rise, they
said. the Arizona farmer will have
only three chances of making
money.
l. If prices rise faster than
production costs. This well might
be the case in 1941 in most fields
since the growing demand for
Arizona agricultural products by
the nations armed forces as well
as the general public is expected
to increase this year.
2. If the yield per acre can De
increased. Cotton growers, citrus
and grain producers were expect
ed to increase yield per acre this
year because of the encouraging
irrigation water outlook. The
states irrigation reservoirs, pre-
sently containing more water than
at any time within the last 10
years, will prove boon to farm
ers producing irrigated crops.
Water will be cheaper and more
plentiful.
8. II government assistance IS
increased.
In the various fields of Arizona
agriculture, the economists predict
ed, farmers will find increased de-
mand for poultry, a strong de-
mand" for wool, but would find a
rapidly-expanding number of grow
ers turning to cattle raising, which
would tend to lower prices in this
field.
Cotton acreage was expected to
be about the same in 1941 as i'll
the preceding year, although acrea-
age expansion was seen in Ameri-
can Egyptian type cotton. lmporta-
ton of this cotton has been cur
tailed by the war.
The economists saw little to
warrant optimism in grapefruit
production, saying that this in
dustry's problems were great and
could be solved only through a
broad program of readjustment."
