Fruit Growing
Tn the vicinity of Glendale there
are no l. ss th in three hundred
thousand fruit trees of different var

time will create an excellent open

According ro the chief forester's
report there were 1:124 permits for
grazing on the Forest Reserve in
Arizona, covering 243,000 head of
cattle, and ;"79,,)00 -head of sheep.
This as compared to the year 1909
when there were J'!29 permits cov
ering 192,3:;l head of cattle.
Never in the history of Arizona
have the ranges aft' riled such an
abundance of forage as this year and
the losses "will be very small t.s
compared to previous years.
Arizona has great advantages as
a cattle raising state, with her great
open ranges for the raising of cattle
and the immense fields of alfalfa in
the Salt Kiver Valley, which will
pasture thousands of head aral put

market.
The Bureau of Animal Industry,
according to their last report, have
the Knot and Mouth disease almost
entirely eradicated which will again
allow the free movement of Live
Stock, tiierefore improving the mar
ket. The Live Stock Sanitary
Hoard of Arizona will meet on tho
20th of May and it is probable that,
they will lift the (pj:irantine againsr
all states that are not quarantined
by, the Federal authorities. This
should have a tendency to greatly
better conditions.
The American National Live Stock
Association has been using their
best effort with the Inter-State
Commerce Commission to keep them
from allowing the K. K. Companies
to raise the tariffs on Live Stock
shipments and probably will be suc

the shippers in this state.

get along fine and find no trouble

the most unpleasant thing that we
run against outside of the wet spells
