Yaqui Wheat Crop
Hit By Rust
Because of rust (a fungus growth),
this year’s wheat crop in the Ya
qui Valley will be a great deal
smaller than anticipated, accord
ing to James Manson of the Pa
cific Brokerage Company who re
turned Tuesday from a several days
stay at Obregxm City,
The crop, which was planted in
December and January, is now be
ing harvested.
CThe rust keeps the seed from
developing, Mr. Manson said.
Reptile Uses
Vet As Bridge
CAMP BARKELEY. Texas, May
2—(Special)—Resting on the grass
during a 45th Division maneuver,
Capt. William E. Rabb opened his
eyes to discover a 4-foot-long
snake using him for a bridge.
The reptile was wriggling across
the captain’s legs, without so much
as an if-you-please. It was a little
too late, for the officer to demand
a toll and too hazardous for him
_to try and leap away. So he did
the next best thing.
He lay stockstill until the snake
had completed its journey over him.
Then he dabbed ait the perspiration
on his forehead and decided that
his co-operative attitude probably
savad him from a nasty snake
bite.

Cattlemen Warned
By Boice Not
To Stock Up
“Do not stock up. Move your cat
tle to market, but do not increase
your inventory,” was the advice
given fellow members of the San
Pima Cattlemen’s association here
Saturday afternoon by Frank Boice,
of Sonoita, vice president of the
American National Livestock asso
ciation.
Boice made his statement in a
partially “off the record report”
of his recent trip to Washington
as a member of the committee of
American cattlemen representing
the national association of the in
dustry.
The present high price of cattle,
the appearance of a British de
mand for United States beef due to
the difficulties of shipping from
South America, and the huge de
mands on the industry which will
be made by the national defense
program all added up to reasons
for the warning. “The higher we
climb at this time,” he added, “the
farther we will have to drop when
the end arrives—and it will ar- j
rive.”
In the off the record portion of
his talk Boice told in detail the
various steps taken by the cattle
men's committee in its investiga
tion of the current situation re
garding the sanitary pact, the with
drawal of the industry's opposition
to army and navy purchases of
canned beef from the Argentine
and other matters of interest to the
cattlemen.
GRAZING PERMITS
The current status of U.S. forest
grazing permits was touched upon
by Fred Winn, supervisor of the
Coronado national forest, and by
Garvin Smith, also of the forest
service.
The matter of state land leases,
as affected by recent legislation,
was reviewed for the association by
