branded during the present rodeos in the
neighborhood of one thousand calves.

The well known business firm of Kelly
<fc Stephens, who have been experiment
ing in raising rye on their farm near

or wheat and stands drought better. The
crop on their farm at present averages
five feet height.

Arizona has cause to congratulate itself
on its escape from the severe droughts
which are creating such havoc among the
herds of Texas and portions of New Mex

death of a single animal in the Territory

Arizona is- considered by many persons
as the dryest portion of the United States.

Messrs. Campbell & Baker, who re
cently purchased an extensive tract of
alfalfa grazing land in the Salt River
